Pasireotide improves hypercortisolemia and induces hyperglycemia via somatostatin receptor type‐5 stimulation. GLP‐1RA and SGLT2 inhibitor potentially help regulate hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing's disease, especially after pasireotide ...

Targeting Amyloid‐β (Aβ) aggregation requires a peptide‐based approach that accounts for the structural heterogeneity of Aβ. Here, we employ topological reprogramming via disulfide bonds to stabilize antiparallel β‐sheets within the dimeric peptide.

Pasireotide in an insulin-requiring diabetic acromegalic patient without worsening of hyperglycemia
Long-acting pasireotide is an effective treatment option for acromegaly, but it is associated with hyperglycemia, which could impact its use in patients with diabetes.

Esophageal Perforation in Zollinger–Ellison Syndrome: A Scoping Review of Management and Outcomes
ABSTRACT Esophageal perforation in Zollinger–Ellison syndrome (ZES) is an exceedingly rare and life‐threatening manifestation of gastrinoma‐related acid hypersecretion. While peptic ulceration and severe reflux are recognized complications of ZES, perforation represents the ultimate consequence of uncontrolled hyperacidity. Evidence remains confined to

Somatostatin and dopamine receptors as targets for medical treatment of Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]
Somatostatin (SS) and dopamine (DA) receptors are widely expressed in neuroendocrine tumours that cause Cushing's Syndrome (CS). Increasing knowledge of specific subtype expression within these tumours and the ability to target these receptor subtypes ...
