Harvey Cushing: Cushing's Disease
Journal of Perioperative Practice, 2012In 1932 Harvey Cushing published an article entitled ‘Basophil adenomas of the pituitary and their clinical manifestations'. These are rare tumours of the anterior pituitary gland, at the base of the brain, with striking manifestations, which include adiposity of the face and trunk, but not the limbs, weakness, fatigue, abdominal striae, facial hair ...

AbstractA 28‐year‐old woman and her niece presented with manifestations of the Cushing syndrome. Endocrine studies, including small‐ and large‐dose dexamethasone‐suppression tests confirmed the diagnosis of pituitary ACTH excess. The first patient had a sella of normal size and went into clinical and hormonal remission after external pituitary ...

Cushing's disease (CD) is caused by a pituitary tumor secreting corticotropin (ACTH), leading to cortisol excess. Patients with CD comprise approximately 70% of patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS). If the diagnosis and treatment are delayed, patients with CD may suffer the deleterious consequences of hypercortisolism, leading to ...

Cushing’s syndrome: comparison between Cushing’s disease and adrenal Cushing’s
Endocrine, 2018The most common etiology of Cushing's syndrome (CS) is an ACTH-producing pituitary adenoma (pitCS), reported as 2-3 times more frequent than primary adrenal CS (adrCS). We aimed to analyze and compare features of patients with pitCS and adrCS.A retrospective file review of 196 consecutive patients (age 46.8 ± 15.6 years, 76% female) diagnosed with CS ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2002
Equine Cushing's disease (ECD) is a chronic progressive disease of the intermediate pituitary gland of older horses. Horses with Cushing's disease often have other health problems, such as laminitis, chronic infections, pseudolactation, and other issues. Diagnosis of ECD is usually based on clinical signs and endocrine tests.

British Veterinary Journal, 1993
In the horse, adenomata of the pairs intermedia of the pituitary gland have been associated with the distinct clinical entity of Cushing's disease which arises largely as a result of excessive secretion of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) or other proopiomelanocortin (POMC) peptides.

Cushing’s disease, or pituitary-dependent hypercortisolism, is an entity characterized by the development of hypercortisolism secondary to inappropriate ACTH secretion by the pituitary gland. Since the original description by Harvey Cushing in 1932,1there have been remarkable strides in our understanding of the pathophysiology, laboratory diagnosis and

Cushing’s syndrome is caused by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting or cortisol-secreting tumors. In most cases, the hypercortisolism is caused by an ACTH-secreting tumor of the pituitary. An excess of circulating cortisol adversely affects all major organ systems, including the cardiovascular system and therefore produces a wide range of ...
