Benign Adrenal Adenomas Are Associated With Reduced Prevalence of Hospitalised Patients With COVID‐19

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adrenal incidentalomas (AI) are commonly found on imaging done for indications other than to assess the adrenal glands. Prevalence increases with age and is around 10% in people over 80 years. The majority of AIs are benign adenomas, with 20%−50% exhibiting mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).

Efficacy and Tolerability of Metyrapone in Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion: Real‐World Findings From Clinical Practice

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk factors including hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia. By using evening doses of metyrapone, a short‐acting 11‐β hydroxylase inhibitor, it has been shown that it is possible to reset the abnormal circadian cortisol rhythm in MACS ...

Case of diabetic ketoacidosis as an initial presentation of Cushing’s syndrome

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2017
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is commonly encountered in clinical practice. The current case is a unique and rare presentation of DKA as the initial manifestation of Cushing’s disease secondary to ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Appropriate management as

Resting Cerebrovascular Haemodynamics and Dynamic Assessment of Cerebrovascular Function in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Despite an increased cerebrovascular disease risk, the impact of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) on cerebrovascular haemodynamics and function is unknown. This study characterised cerebrovascular haemodynamics and function in women with PCOS versus healthy controls. Design Case‐control study.

Glucocorticoid regulation of food-choice behavior in humans: Evidence from Cushing’s syndrome

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
The mechanisms by which glucocorticoids regulate food intake and resulting body mass in humans are not well-understood. One potential mechanism could involve modulation of reward processing, but human stress models examining effects of glucocorticoids on

Cerebrovascular Function in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Pilot Multi‐Parameter Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease, but the effects on cerebrovascular function are unknown. In this pilot study, we sought to compare cerebrovascular perfusion, pulsatility, reactivity and metabolism between women with PCOS and healthy volunteers using MRI, and ...

Prevalência da hipertensão arterial na síndrome de Cushing.

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 1997
To determine the prevalence of hypertension (HT) in patients with Cushing's syndrome.We studied 23 patients with Cushing's syndrome, 17 women (mean +/- SD age = 42.8 +/- 15.6 years) and 6 men (mean +/- SD age = 34.8 +/- 10.2 years).

Clinical Practice Patterns in Bone Health Assessment and Management in Endogenous Cushing's Syndrome

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Skeletal fragility is a common complication of endogenous Cushing's Syndrome (CS), although specific guidelines for managing bone health are lacking. This study aimed to assess clinicians' current engagement with bone health assessment and management in patients with endogenous CS. Design Retrospective‐cohort design. Patients Seventy‐

Glucocorticoids and HPA axis regulation in the stress–obesity connection: A comprehensive overview of biological, physiological and behavioural dimensions

Clinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease presenting with a unilateral adrenocortical nodule treated with bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2010
Introduction Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease is a rare cause of adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing's syndrome. We report an uncommon primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease case presenting with a unilateral ...
