Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–

Pituitary calcification masquerading as pituitary apoplexy

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013
Pituitary calcification occurs commonly in lactotroph or somatotroph adenoma but rare in chomophobe or gonadotroph adenoma. On imaging, it can mimic hemorrhage, hence may masquerade pituitary apoplexy if patient present with neurological manifestations ...

How Common Is Hypercortisolism in Patients With Hypertension? Risk Factors, Epidemiology, and Making a Diagnosis

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endogenous hypercortisolism (EHC) is an underrecognised and clinically significant contributor to hypertension, particularly resistant hypertension. Once viewed as a rare entity, EHC is now understood as a spectrum of cortisol excess associated with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes and target‐organ damage.

Is Hypercortisolism Treatable? Which Patients Should Be Treated and How—A Practical Guide for Clinicians

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To provide a practical guide on when to suspect endogenous hypercortisolism, how to use the overnight 1‐mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) for targeted case‐finding, and which patients are most likely to benefit from treatment.

Calcification in Pituitary Adenomas

Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 1983
Though radiographically-proven calcifications in pituitary adenomas are rare, a higher incidence of microscopically-proven calcified adenomas has been recently reported. Therefore, the incidence of radiological and microscopical calcifications in various types of pituitary adenomas in a consecutive series of 169 cases (71 acromegalies, 54 prolactinomas,

The relationship between psychosocial risk and neurocognitive functioning early after childhood central nervous system tumour diagnosis

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurocognitive impairments are common in paediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumours and can relate to clinical and demographic factors. The impact of social or environmental factors, such as family psychosocial risk, is less well understood.

Pituitary adenoma apoplexy

Clinical Medicine (Russian Journal), 2017
We present 3 cases of pituitary adenoma apoplexy in young women (one microadenoma and two macroadenomas). The possible risk factors, clinical presentation and outcome of pituitary apoplexy are discussed. Diagnostic errors as regards pituitary adenoma apoplexy are analyzed.

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.

The Efficacy of Pharmacotherapy Intervention on Anthropometric Outcomes in Survivors of Childhood Brain Tumors: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Many survivors of childhood brain tumors face long‐term adverse health outcomes like obesity. Uncertainties surround the effect of interventions to manage obesity‐related outcomes in survivors of childhood brain tumors. The goal of this updated systematic review and meta‐analysis was to provide the best estimate of the treatment ...
