I met some of my closest friends on the Cushing’s board! Thank you Mary Kelly O’Connor

In response to a Facebook post on the Birthday of the Message Boards

🖤 In Memory: Millie Niss ~ November 29, 2009
Millie is the first Cushing’s patient that I know of to have died from complications from Swine Flu. She was only 36. Millie developed a confirmed case of the H1N1 virus. She spent 29 days in the ICU of Millard Suburban Hospital before dying of complications of the flu, compounded by Behcet’s Disease and Cushings […]
🖤 In Memory: Hermina Dala ~ November 29, 2002
Hermina had Cushing’s Disease. She passed away November 29, 2002.
‼️ 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
📞 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.
