Medical management pathways for Cushing's disease in pituitary tumors centers of excellence (PTCOEs).
Pituitary
January 2025
Division of Endocrinology, Santiago de Compostela University and Ciber OBN, Santiago, Spain.
Purpose: A recent update of consensus guidelines for the management of Cushing's disease (CD) included indications for medical therapy. However, there is limited evidence regarding their implementation in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate current medical therapy approaches by expert pituitary centers through an audit conducted to validate the criteria of Pituitary Tumors Centers of Excellence (PTCOEs) and provide an initial standard of medical care for CD.

January 2025
Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany.
A subgroup of patients with acute depression show an impaired regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis, which can be sensitively diagnosed with the combined dexamethasone (dex)/corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)-test. This neuropathological alteration is assumed to be a result of hyperactive AVP/V1b signalling. Given the complicated procedure of the dex/CRH-test, this study aimed to develop a genetic variants-based alternative approach to predict the outcome of the dex/CRH-test in acute depression.

AME Case Rep
November 2024
Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnosis, Shijiazhuang Pingan Hospital, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background: Primary breast squamous cell carcinoma (PBSCC) is a unique histopathological type of breast cancer. The majority of current case reports of PBSCC are triple-negative tumors with poor prognosis. Due to its heterogeneous clinical course, no unified management is achieved.

Methods: Pooled analysis of two Phase III osilodrostat studies (LINC 3 and LINC 4), both comprising a 48-week core phase and an optional open-label extension. Changes from baseline in systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA) were evaluated during osilodrostat treatment in patients with/without hypertension or diabetes at baseline.
Ectopic calcifications in the musculoskeletal field: the basis for preventive and curative pharmacological strategies.
Clin Rheumatol
January 2025
Center for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia.
Ectopic calcifications occur in tendons, ligaments, entheses, muscles, and fasciae, and are often associated with pain and inflammation. In clinical settings, these calcifications are commonly treated by physical therapy and/or surgical interventions. However, there is not enough understanding of pharmacological treatments as primary cures, supportive therapy to physical or surgical treatment, or even preventive measures to avoid or diminish the development of ectopic calcifications.
