Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]

, 2019
Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secreting Pheochromocytoma Underlying Glucocorticoid Induced Pheochromocytoma Crisis

Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2018
Context. Pheochromocytomas are hormone secreting tumors of the medulla of the adrenal glands found in 0.1–0.5% of patients with hypertension. The vast majority of pheochromocytomas secrete catecholamines, but they have been occasionally shown to also ...

Prediction of treatment response in infantile epileptic spasms syndrome using EEG phase–amplitude coupling

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Treatment selection for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is complex and multifaceted, and currently no electroencephalogram (EEG) biomarkers can guide this decision by predicting treatment response. We tested the predictive value of phase–amplitude coupling (PAC) as IESS patients are known to have elevated PAC.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone-producing pheochromocytoma: analysis of clinical cases

Ожирение и метаболизм, 2015
Ectopic secretion of ACTH from non-pituitary tumors, referred to as ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS), accounts for about 10–20% of Cushing’s syndrome (CS). Ectopic hormone-secreting pheochromocytomas (Pheo) are rare.
