📰 COVID-19 and Cushing's syndrome: recommendations for a special population with endogenous glucocorticoid excess
Over the past few months, COVID-19, the pandemic disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has been associated with a high rate of infection and lethality, especially in patients with comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and immunodeficiency syndromes. These cardiometabolic and immune impairments are common comorbid […]
✍️ For Rare Disease Day: MaryO, Pituitary/Kidney Cancer Bio
As one can imagine, it hasn’t been all happiness and light. Most of my journey has been documented here and on the message boards – and elsewhere around the web.

📰 Psychotropic drugs in patients with Cushing’s disease before diagnosis and at long-term follow-up
Increased use of psychotropic drugs in CD was observed before diagnosis and remained elevated regardless of remission status, suggesting persisting negative effects on mental health. The study highlights the importance of early diagnosis of CD, and the need for long-term monitoring of mental health.
📰 The Effect of Biochemical Remission on Bone Metabolism in Cushing's Syndrome: A 2‐Year Follow‐Up Study
Endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a rare cause of secondary osteoporosis. The long‐term consequences for bone metabolism after successful surgical treatment remain largely unknown. We assessed bone mineral density and fracture rates in 89 patients with confirmed Cushing's syndrome at the time of diagnosis and 2 years after successful tumor rese […]
📰 Increased Mortality Risk in Patients With Primary and Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency
A retrospective cohort study was performed to compare mortality risk and causes of death in adrenal insufficiency with an individually-matched reference population. Researchers examined 6,821 patients with adrenal insufficiency (primary, 2052; secondary, 3948) and 6,7564 individually-matched controls (primary, 20366; secondary, 39134). It was shown that in a […]
📰 Successful Cushing’s Surgery Leads to Better Bone Density
Biomarkers in a majority of Cushing’s syndrome patients with surgically induced disease remission showed a high rate of bone turnover and greater bone mineral density one and two years later, a study reports. Before treatment, these patients were found to have greater bone degradation and poorer bone formation, as can be common to disease-related bone disord […]
💙 MaryO/COVID Vaccine 1
Quick takeaway: I have adrenal insufficiency (one adrenal was removed with my kidney due to cancer, steroid-dependent (post-Cushing's Disease), growth hormone insufficiency, panhypopituitary. I had some issues after my first COVID-19 injection (Moderna) but not too bad. My second injection will be March 15.
