📞 Webinar: Dr. Friedman Webinar on Optimal replacement for Hypopituitarism and Sheehan’s
December 6, Dr. Theodore Friedman (the Wiz) will be giving a webinar on Optimal replacement for Hypopituitarism and Sheehan’s: Oxytocin, testosterone, growth hormone, stimulants and beyond Learn what most Endocrinologists don’t know about but will improve your quality of life
📰 Adrenocorticotropin-Dependent Ectopic Cushing's Syndrome: A Case Report
The diagnosis of Cushing's Syndrome is a three-step process that includes its suspicion based on the patient's laboratory and semiologic findings, the documentation of hypercortisolism, and the identification of its cause, which can be either ACTH-dependent or independent.
✍️ Giving Thanks: Day Nineteen
I am thankful, believe it or not, that I had Cushing’s. Mind you, I wouldn’t want to have it now, although diagnoses and surgeries seem “easier” now. Having Cushing’s taught me a lot, including how to stick up for myself, how to read medical books to learn more about my disease, how to do web […]
📰 Interpetrosal Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Ratio Predicting Cushing’s Disease Tumor Laterality and Remission After Surgery
Cushing’s disease (CD) poses significant challenges in its treatment due to the lack of reliable biomarkers for predicting tumor localization or postoperative clinical outcomes. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has been shown to increase cortisol biosynthesis and is regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

📰 Bilateral Inferior Petrosal Sinus Sampling: Validity, Diagnostic Accuracy in Lateralization of Pituitary Microadenoma, ind Treatment In Eleven Patients with Cushing’s Syndrome – a Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study
This study suggests that BIPSS may be a reliable and low-complication technique in evaluating patients with ACTH-dependent CS who had inconclusive imaging and biochemical test results. The diagnostic accuracy is improved by DDAVP stimulation. Pituitary adenoma lateralization can be predicted with the aid of BIPSS.
‼️ Message Board Upgrade (and new features!) is coming this weekend
This is our November maintenance release. Key changes include the removal of the AdminCP Marketplace. Please see our announcement here. Also included: 4.7.13
⁉️ Cushing’s Myths and Facts: “All types of Cushing’s are the same”
There are many genetic varieties with quite a few discovered in the past couple of years. Plus, there are several types such as adrenal, ectopic, and pituitary. And so on...
✍️ Bridget H, Ectopic Cushing's
Findling ordered a dotatate PET scan to find where Houser's tumor was, finding it in her left lung. Ultimately, after much deliberation, Houser elected to undergo surgery to remove part of her left lung. A pathologist found the tumor was a rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine lung cancer known as bronchial carcinoid, which can cause Cushing's.
