As I have always said and always will Mary created an environment where we can share and feel empowered during this illness …I was very lucky when I stumbled on to a web site and found some of the very best friends in the World.

📰 New ACTH Detection Method Improves Cure Rates in Cushing’s Disease Patients
MRI, for example, detects only 50 percent of Cushing’s adenomas, limiting surgeons’ ability to conduct curative TSR surgeries. Therefore, better diagnostic and tumor localization techniques are needed to increase the likelihood that initial surgeries can remove the entire tumor and cure patients.
📰 Intraoperative MRI improves complete resection of pituitary macroadenoma
The use of intraoperative MRI, especially with transsphenoidal reoperations for invasive and noninvasive pituitary macroadenomas, leads to significantly higher “gross tumor resection” rates. This method prevents additional operations or treatment, such as radiation, because it reduces the number of patients with residual adenoma after surgery. This technolog […]
📰 Blood Sample from Tributary Adrenal Gland Veins May Help to Diagnose Subclinical Cushing’s Syndrome
Researchers report a new technique for collecting blood samples from tiny veins of the adrenal glands, called super-selective adrenal venous sampling (ssAVS). The technique can be used to help diagnose diseases marked by excessive release of adrenal hormones, such as subclinical Cushing’s syndrome (SCS) or primary aldesteronism (PA).
🖊 Cathy T, Pituitary Bio
Cathy is from Wellington, New Zealand and had the left side of her pituitary gland removed and a BLA. Cathy has been through 2 cycles of IVF fertility treatment and the second one worked. She had a baby girl. Cathy updated her bio in September 2009. She has another new 5mm tumour on the right side of her pituitary gland. She has Nelsons Syndrome and Addison […]
✈️ Adventures with Human Growth Hormone: Travelling (Flying)
I had the gel pack from the iCool frozen solid and put that in a small Rubbermaid lunch bag with 2 thin ice packs, 1 on top and 1 on the bottom. If you don't want to read all the way to the end, this system kept the growth hormone cold for the 20 hours going and returning but the 2 thin blocks had completely thawed. The inner iCool was mostly frozen […]
🖤 In Memory: Martha, October 14, 2008
StaceyH wrote: Dr. F had wanted to give Martha an IPSS, but she had a problem with an EKG two weeks ago so the doctor would not release her for surgery. She went for a cardio stress test last week and was to get her results tomorrow. She was feeling “ok” but when I arrived home this evening, I found her in the bathroom. I tried to give her CPR but I really k […]
📰 Low-dose Steroids Relieve Sore Throat Pain
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A single low dose of corticosteroids speeds pain relief in patients who have sore throat, without serious adverse effects, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis published in The BMJ along with parallel clinical practice guidelines. “The relative effects were similar across severities, though patients with less severe […]
⁉️ Would *You* Do This?
The case report described a woman who was admitted to a specialist clinic after two endocrinologists had failed to diagnose what they suspected was cyclic Cushing’s syndrome. The woman had complained of fatigue and weight gain over the past four years despite weight loss banding surgery, and declined taking steroid medications. The examination did not reveal […]
📰 Increase in Glucose Uptake by Cushing’s Disease-associated Tumors Could Improve Early Detection
Microadenomas – tumors in the pituitary gland measuring less than 10 mm in diameter – that release corticotropin, or corticotropinomas, can lead to Cushing’s disease. The presurgical detection of these microadenomas could improve surgical outcomes in patients with Cushing’s.
‼️Pituitary Post-Op
After Your Transsphenoidal (Pituitary) Surgery After your physicians have determined that it is reasonably safe to discharge you from the hospital following transsphenoidal pituitary surgery there are a number of important situations that may arise. Most people feel well after discharge. However, you should be aware of these possible problems, just in case. […]
