1. Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency
Sammanfattning : Background: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are effective in treating many diseases and are widely used. However, glucocorticoid treatment can down-regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and lead to glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency. LÄS MER
2. Brain structure and function in primary adrenal insufficiency
Sammanfattning : Individuals with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI), i.e., congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD), suffer from impaired production of the adrenal gland hormones cortisol and aldosterone, and in the case of AAD, also androgens. LÄS MER
3. Diagnosing hyper- and hypocortisolism using saliva samples : pitfalls and how to avoid them
Sammanfattning : Background: Cushing's syndrome (CS) is caused by high cortisol secretion whereas insufficient cortisol secretion is called adrenal insufficiency (AI). Both are rare diseases with substantial diagnostic delay, and high morbidity and mortality even though effective treatment is available. LÄS MER
4. Trauma - logistics and stress response
Sammanfattning : Background: Trauma is a major cause of death and disability. Adverse events, such as prolonged prehospital time, hypoxia, hypotension and/or hyperventilation have been reported to correlate to poor outcome.Adequate cortisol levels are essential for survival after major trauma.

5. Endocrine response to illness in sick horses : presence of critically-illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency or pancreatic insufficiency in horses is related to poor survival
Sammanfattning : Endocrinological responses are under tight physiological control in healthy animals, with homeostatic adaptions made for diet, exercise and illness. Transient adrenal dysfunction with inadequate cortisol production, known as relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI), is a major component of critical illness–related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI), which involves dysfunction of the entire HPA axis.
