Advances in clinical diagnosis of Cushing's disease
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2020 Cushing's disease, also known as pituitary adrenocorticotrophin⁃secreting adenoma, is a rare and serious neuroendocrine disease. At present, the diagnosis of disease is mainly based on the patient's clinical manifestations, imaging examinations and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In vivo experiments suggest that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is an early manifestation of cardiac pathological changes induced by chronic psychological stress. In vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that the corticosterone‐glucocorticoid receptor‐LAMA5 axis mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by chronic psychological stress. The clinical results

Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling using vasopressin
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2016 Context: Anatomical localization of pituitary adenoma can be challenging in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing's syndrome, and bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) is considered gold standard in this regard.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Obese gut‐microbiota derived lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induce bone marrow macrophage senescence and GCA secretion via activating TLR4/NF‐κB/MAPKs pathway. Clinically, obese patients are associated with higher serum GCA levels. Mice with depletion of GCA gene show resistance to skeletal deterioration caused by obesity and LPS‐induced chronic ...

Exploring Oral Health Related Quality of Life in Rett Syndrome Using Directed Content Analysis
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT No validated oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQOL) instrument currently exists for those with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and who communicate non‐verbally. This qualitative study aimed to explore the domains that were important to the oral health‐related quality of life in individuals with Rett syndrome (RTT).

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT KDM1A‐related neurodevelopmental disorder (CPRF, OMIM #616728) is characterized by cleft palate, global developmental delay, and distinct facial gestalt, but phenotypic knowledge of this ultra‐rare autosomal dominant disorder is limited. Here, we report on a 13‐year‐old boy with a novel heterozygous, likely pathogenic germline missense variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Keratosis–ichthyosis–deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant ectodermal disease caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene, which encodes the gap junction protein Connexin 26 (Cx26) located on Chr. 13q12.11. This study presents the first mortality analysis associated with KID syndrome, focusing on a case report of a Latin American ...
