Inferior petrosal sinus sampling in differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism
Survival rate of patients with endogenous hypercortisolism, as well as complications reversibility and treatment effectiveness depends on on-time and precise diagnosis. In case of apparent clinical picture with all laboratory tests confirmation, the most

Recent Understanding and Future Directions of Recurrent Corticotroph Tumors
Corticotroph tumors (CTs) are pituitary neoplasms arising from the Tpit lineage, which may or not express adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Functioning CTs cause Cushing’s disease (CD), which has high morbidity and mortality due to hypercortisolemia. “

Recent Progress in the Medical Therapy of Pituitary Tumors [PDF]
Management of pituitary tumors is multidisciplinary, with medical therapy playing an increasingly important role. With the exception of prolactin-secreting tumors, surgery is still considered the first-line treatment for the majority of pituitary ...

transsphenoidal surgery for secreting pituitary microadenomas: results with intraoperative application of absolute alcohol [PDF]
Background: Pituitary adenomas represent a quite frequent neurosurgical disease. Secreting pituitary adenomas are represented by PRL, GH, ACTH and TSH tumours; the rate of postoperative hormonal recurrence is not ineligible.

Influence of mirtazapine on salivary cortisol in depressed patients [PDF]
Unlike other antidepressants, mirtazapine does not inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine or serotonin but acts as an antagonist at presynaptic alpha(2)-receptors, at postsynaptic 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, and at histaminergic H1 receptors. Furthermore,

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 ...

Background: In dogs, spontaneous Cushing’s syndrome is most often pituitary-dependent and caused by hypersecretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), resulting in increased adrenocortical glucocorticoid secretion similar to horses.
