1. 1. Clinical challenges in Cushing's syndrome

   Författare :Eleni Papakokkinou; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cushing’s syndrome; Cushing’s disease; cortisol excess; Nelson’s syndrome; morbidity; remission; mental fatigue; cognitive function; adrenal venous sampling;

   Sammanfattning : Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is caused by prolonged exposure to cortisol excess. CS is associated with cardiovascular diseases, infections, and fractures, as well as with cognitive impairment and affective disorders. LÄS MER

3. 2. Glucocorticoids - outcome in patients with glucocorticoid deficiency and Cushing's syndrome

   Författare :Oskar Ragnarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular risk; bone mineral density; paediatric; final height; cognitive function; fatigue; attentional network test; body composition; sarcopaenia; growth hormone;

   Sammanfattning : Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones that have a major impact on human metabolism and are essential for life. Chronic GC overexposure, called Cushing’s syndrome, is characterized by central obesity, muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance and neurocognitive impairment. LÄS MER

4. 3. Diagnosing hyper- and hypocortisolism using saliva samples : pitfalls and how to avoid them

   Författare :Nils Bäcklund; Per Dahlqvist; Göran Brattsand; Tommy Olsson; Elisabeth Aardal; Kerstin Landin-Wilhelmsen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cushing s syndrome; Adrenal Insufficiency; Salivary cortisol; Salivary cortisone; Reference intervals; Diagnostic accuracy; Error sources; invärtesmedicin; Internal Medicine; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

   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

5. 4. Cushing’s disease and aggressive pituitary tumours : Aspects on epidemiology, treatment, and long-term follow-up

   Författare :Daniel Bengtsson; Jeanette Wahlberg; Pia Burman; Oliver Gimm; John D Newell-Price; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on clinical and epidemiological aspects of aggressive pituitary tumours/carcinomas and Cushing’s disease. Pituitary carcinomas account for only 0.1-0. LÄS MER

7. 5. Glucocorticoid administration : studies on weight regulation and metabolic implications

   Författare :Joanna Uddén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Glucocorticoids; leptin; obesity; adipose tissue; PAI-1; UCP-2; cortisol; the metabolic syndrome; 11 beta-HSD; eating behaviour; weight gain.;

   Sammanfattning : Long-term treatment with glucocorticoids induces weight gain and increased risk to develop obesity-related metabolic complications like insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Glucocorticoids have been suggested to play a role in development of visceral fat accumulation. LÄS MER
