The Lancet, 2001 During the past 30 years, there have been advances in understanding of the pathogenesis of Cushing's syndrome and in differential diagnosis of its various forms. Improved diagnostic tests and procedures have increased the ability to recognise even mild hypercortisolism and have provided the means to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Despite these advances,

The Lancet, 2006 Cushing's syndrome results from lengthy and inappropriate exposure to excessive glucocorticoids. Untreated, it has significant morbidity and mortality. The syndrome remains a challenge to diagnose and manage. Here, we review the current understanding of pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic, and differential diagnostic approaches.

The Lancet, 2023 Endogenous Cushing's syndrome results from excess glucocorticoid secretion, which leads to a myriad of clinical manifestations, comorbidities, and increased mortality despite treatment. Molecular mechanisms and genetic alterations associated with different causes of Cushing's syndrome have been described in the last decade.

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2008 Cushing's syndrome is a rare endocrine disease characterized by cortisol hypersecretion, induced mainly by a pituitary tumor (Cushing's disease) or, rarely, by an adrenal or an ectopic neuroendocine tumor. Cushing's syndrome is associated with severe morbidities and an increased mortality.

Subclinical Cushing’s syndrome
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012 The routine use of abdominal procedure has significantly increased the incidental finding of adrenal masses. The prevalence of these tumors, commonly defined as adrenal incidentalomas, ranges between 2-3% in autopsy and 4% in radiological series, reaching 5-8% in oncological studies and increasing with patients age. Although clinically silent, in 5-20%

Food-dependent Cushing's syndrome
, 2009 It has recently been proposed that other hormones than ACTH can control cortisol production in Cushing's syndrome with bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. We present a case of food-dependent Cushing's syndrome. After a positive response of cortisol production

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Medicine, 2005 Abstract Harvey Cushing described the first case of Cushing’s syndrome with a severe phenotype in 1912. Since that time, investigation and management of Cushing’s syndrome has remained a significant clinical challenge and patients suspected of this diagnosis warrant referral to major centres.

The effect of sodium valproate in Cushing's disease, Nelson's syndrome and Addison's disease [PDF]
, 1988 We investigated the effect of sodium valproate on plasma ACTH and serum cortisol concentrations in different pathological states of ACTH hypersecretion.

Inconsistent stimulation of plasma ACTH through corticotropin-releasing factor in a patient with central Cushing's disease due to pituitary adenoma [PDF]
, 1985 Three uncommon findings were observed in a case of Cushing's disease due to macroadenoma: no suppression of plasma ACTH during an 8-mg dexamethasone test, a negative corticotropin-releasing factor test, and a normal X-ray of the sella turcica.
