| ARTICLES RELATED TO Cushing's syndrome | | | |  Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Endocrinology - BackgroundAs evolution drove the emergence of multicellular organisms it became necessary to develop “coordinating systems to regulate and integrate the function of differentiating cells” (Griffin and Ojeda 2000). Two mechanisms perform this function in higher animals, the nervous system and the endocrine system. Unlike the former, which sends and receives information via electrochemical signals, the endocrine system performs its regulatory function through the detection, production and release (generally into the bloodstream) of chemical agents. ...

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Delayed puberty - Background: a brief synopsis of normal puberty Puberty refers to the physical and hormonal changes which typically begin in early adolescence and lead to reproductive maturity and completion of growth. In girls the physical changes include growth of the breasts, development of pubic hair, change in body shape, and onset of menstrual periods (menarche). In boys the physical changes include growth of the penis and testes, pubic hair, increased muscle mass and strength, and increased body and facial h ...

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Osteoporosis - Prognosis Patients with osteoporosis are at a high risk for additional fractures (the best predictor of fracture is a previous fracture). Treatment can improve fracture risk considerably.
Fractures can lead to decreased mobility and an additional risk of deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism. Vertebral fractures can lead to severe chronic pain of neurogenic origin, which can be hard to control.
Although osteoporosis patients have an increased mortality rate due to the complications of fracture, most patients die with ...

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Osteoporosis - Natural history Today, most cases of osteoporosis are diagnosed before symptoms develop. This is due to widespread screening for osteoporosis using the DEXA scan. With treatment, bone mineral density increases, and fracture risk decreases.
In the absence of treatment, overt osteoporosis is heralded by a fracture. Some fractures, like vertebral compression fractures or sacral insufficiency fractures, may not be apparent at first, appearing to patient and physician as a very bad back ache or completely without symptoms. Hip ...

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Mifepristone - Safety In number of deaths of the pregnant woman, mifepristone abortions compare similarly to vacuum aspiration abortion, [1] although this comparison compares the rate of death in vacuum aspiration abortion for both early and late term abortions (the later the abortion, the higher the risk of death). When compared to similar term abortions, the rate of death to the pregnant woman is double that of vacuum aspiration abortion.
On July 18, 2005, Danco Laboratories admitted that there have been five deaths of women due to bacterial infection fo ...

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Osteoporosis - Pathogenesis The underlying mechanism in all cases of osteoporosis is an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. Either bone resorption is excessive, or bone formation is diminished. Bone matrix is manufactured by the osteoblast cells, whereas bone resorption is accomplished by osteoclast cells. Trabecular bone is the sponge-like bone in the center of long bones and vertebrae. Cortical bone is the hard outer shell of bones. Because osteoblasts and osteoclasts inhabit the surface of bones, trabecular bone is more active, more subject to bone ...

Osteoporosis - Clinical picture.
Osteoporotic fractures are those that occur under slight amount of stresses that would not normally lead to fractures in nonosteoporotic people. Typical fractures occur in the vertebral column, hip and wrist. Collapse of vertebrae ("compression fracture") leads to chronic pain, characteristic bent stature, and decreased pulmonary function (ability to breathe) while the fractures of the long bones acutely impair mobility and may require surgery. Hip fracture, in particular, carries a poor prognosis.
While osteoporosis may occur in men, the problem i ...

| | | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Osteoporosis - Etiology Estrogen deficiency following menopause causes a rapid reduction in BMD. This, plus the increased risk of falling associated with aging, leads to fractures of the wrist, spine and hip. Other hormone deficiency states can lead to osteoporosis, such as testosterone deficiency. Glucocorticoid or thyroxine excess states also lead to osteoporosis. Lastly, calcium and/or vitamin D deficiency from malnutr ...

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Osteoporosis - Diagnosis Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, formerly DEXA) is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis. Diagnosis is made when the bone mineral density is equal to or greater than 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young adult reference population. This is translated as a T-score. The World Health Organization has established diagnostic guidelines as T-score -1.0 or greater is "normal", T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 is "low bone mass" (or "osteopenia") and -2.5 or below as osteoporosis. A low trauma or osteoporotic fracture, defined as one that occurs as a result of a fall from a standing height, is also diagnostic ...

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Polycystic ovary syndrome - Definition There are two definitions that are commonly used:
In 1990 a consensus workshop sponsored by the NIH/NICHD suggested that a patient has PCOS if she has (1) signs of androgen excess (clinical or biochemical), (2) oligoovulation, and (3) other entities are excluded that would cause polycystic ovaries.
In 2003 a consensus workshop sponsored by ESHRE/ASRM in Rotterdam indicated PCOS to be present if 2 out of 3 criteria are met: (1) oligoovulation and/or anovulation, (2) excess androgen activity, (3) polycystic ovaries (by gynecologic ultraso ...

| | | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Delayed puberty - Medical evaluation of delayed puberty Pediatric endocrinologists are the physicians with the most training and experience evaluating delayed puberty.
A complete medical history, review of systems, growth pattern, and physical examination will reveal most of the systemic diseases and conditions capable of arresting development or delaying puberty, as well as providing clues to some of the recognizable syndromes affecting the reproductive system.
An x-ray of the hand to assess bone age usually reveals whether overall phys ...

| | | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Delayed puberty - Management of delayed puberty If a child is healthy but simply late, reassurance and prediction based on the bone age can be provided. No other intervention is usually necessary. In more extreme cases of delay, or cases where the delay is more extremely distressing to the child, a low dose of testosterone or estrogen for a few months may bring the first reassuring changes of normal puberty.
If the delay is due to systemic disease or undernutrition, the therap ...

Endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining) are possible, due to overaccumulation of uterine lining, and also lack of progesterone resulting in prolonged stimulation of uterine cells by estrogen
Insulin resistance/Type II diabetes, generally thought to be caused by hyperinsulinaemia
High blood pressure

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Polycystic ovary syndrome - Diagnosis It is vital to note that not all women with PCOS have polycystic ovaries, nor do all women with ovarian cysts have PCOS; although a pelvic ultrasound is a major diagnostic tool, it is not the only one. Diagnosis can be difficult, particularly because of the wide range of symptoms, and the variability of how they present themselves in individuals (which is why this disorder is characterized as a syndrome rather than a disease). There is a lot of controversy about the appropriate testing:
gynecologic ultrasonography

| | | | | Cushing's syndrome: Encyclopedia II - Polycystic ovary syndrome - Pathogenesis PCOS develops when the ovaries are stimulated to produce excessive amounts of male hormones (androgens), particularly testosterone - either through the release of excessive luteinizing hormone (LH) by the pituitary gland, or due to high levels of insulin in the blood (hyperinsulinaemia) in women whose ovaries are sensitive to this stimulus.
This syndrome acquired its most widely-used name because a common symptom is multiple (poly) ovarian cysts. These form where egg follicles matured, but were never released from the ovary due to abn ...
