13. Permanent diabetes insipidus in a patient with mesothelioma treated with immunotherapy
SUMMARY Checkpoint inhibitors have substantially improved the prognosis for patients with advanced malignancy. Treatment with immunomodulants has the ability to reactivate the immune system against tumor cells, but can also trigger the development of immune-related adverse events that reflects a loss of tolerance of the immune system for self-antigens. Regar

14. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory aspects in a case series of canine hyperadrenocorticism: 115 cases (2010-2014)
RESUMO: A caracterização clínica-epidemiológica de doenças auxilia no direcionamento do diagnóstico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e laboratoriais de uma série de casos de hiperadrenocorticismo (HAC) canino. Foram avaliados 115 prontuários de cães diagnosticados pelo teste de supressão por baixa dose d

15. Long-term outcome after bilateral adrenalectomy in Cushing’s disease with focus on Nelson’s syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective We analyzed the clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings of adrenalectomized patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) in order to compare the characteristics of those who developed Nelson’s syndrome (NS) versus those who did not develop this complication (NNS), aiming to identify possible predictive factors for its occurrence. Subjec

16. Combined pituitary hormone deficiency caused by PROP1 mutations: update 20 years post-discovery
ABSTRACT The first description of patients with combined pituitary hormone deficiencies (CPHD) caused by PROP1 mutations was made 20 years ago. Here we updated the clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with PROP1 mutations and summarized the phenotypes of 14 patients with 7 different pathogenic PROP1 mutations followed at the Hospital das Clínica

17. The 4Ds of ectopic ACTH syndrome: diagnostic dilemmas of a difficult disease
SUMMARY Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is an uncommon condition that leads to high morbidity and mortality. The majority of endogenous CS is caused by excessive ACTH secretion, mainly due to a pituitary tumor – the so-called Cushing’s disease (CD) – followed by ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS), an extra-pituitary tumor that produces ACTH; adrenal causes of CS ar

18. Dynamic changes of central thyroid functions in the management of Cushing's syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of central thyroid dysfunctions in Cushing's syndrome (CS). We also aimed to evaluate the frequency of hyperthyroidism due to the syndrome of the inappropriate secretion of TSH (SITSH), which was recently defined in patients with insufficient hydrocortisone replacement after surgery.

19. A review of Cushing's disease treatment by the Department of Neuroendocrinology of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism
ABSTRACT The treatment objectives for a patient with Cushing's disease (CD) are remission of hypercortisolism, adequate management of co-morbidities, restoration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, preservation of fertility and pituitary function, and improvement of visual defects in cases of macroadenomas with suprasellar extension. Transsphenoidal

20. Growth hormone deficiency with advanced bone age: phenotypic interaction between GHRH receptor and CYP21A2 mutations diagnosed by sanger and whole exome sequencing
SUMMARY Isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) is the most common pituitary hormone deficiency and, clinically, patients have delayed bone age. High sequence similarity between CYP21A2 gene and CYP21A1P pseudogene poses difficulties for exome sequencing interpretation. A 7.5 year-old boy born to second-degree cousins presented with severe short stature (h

21. An activating mutation in the CRHR1 gene is rarely associated with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in poodles
OBJECTIVES: Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism is the most common cause of naturally occurring hypercortisolism in dogs. CRHR1 expression in human and dog corticotrophinomas suggested that this gene affects pituitary tumorigenesis. The present study aimed to investigate mutations in the CRHR1 coding region in poodles with pituitary-dependent hyperadre

22. Uso de baixa dose de ACTH sintético no teste de estimulação da função adrenal para o diagnóstico e controle do hiperadrenocorticismo canino: avaliação da eficácia diagnóstica
RESUMO: O teste de estimulação com ACTH é o teste de escolha para realizar o controle dos valores de cortisol endógeno em pacientes sob tratamento para o hiperadrenocorticismo canino, podendo ser utilizado também para diagnosticar a doença. Os protocolos atuais utilizam doses que variam entre 5ug/kg a 250ug/animal por administração intravenosa ou int

23. A rare case of ectopic ACTH syndrome originating from malignant renal paraganglioma
SUMMARY Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is characterized by hypercortisolism due to the hypersecretion of a non-pituitary ACTH-secreting tumor leading to Cushing’s syndrome. Only a few cases have been reported previously as causing ectopic ACTH related to paraganglioma. Herein, we present a case of Cushing’s syndrome, in who was prove

24. Características histopatológicas de hipófises post mortem: análise retrospectiva
RESUMO Objetivo: como resultado da utilização de técnicas de neuroimagem, cada vez se diagnosticam mais lesões hipofisárias silentes; porém, há poucos estudos post mortem publicados sobre essa glândula. Os dados de incidência existentes sobre lesões hipofisárias são raros, sendo em Portugal desatualizados ou inexistentes. O objetivo é determina
