Advances in multimodal imaging for adrenal gland disorders: integrating CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine.
Jpn J Radiol
January 2025
Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Institute of Science Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Adrenal diseases pose significant diagnostic challenges due to the wide range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathologies. Radiologists have a crucial role in diagnosing and managing these conditions by, leveraging advanced imaging techniques. This review discusses the vital role of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine in adrenal imaging, and focuses on morphological and functional evaluations.

Adrenal dysfunction due to over-the-counter (OTC) health supplements containing unlabeled glucocorticoids has been previously reported. Here, we present a case series of 12 patients at an urban safety net medical center evaluated by endocrinology for iatrogenic adrenal dysfunction, Cushing syndrome (CS) and/or adrenal insufficiency (AI), associated with use of OTC arthritis supplements surreptitiously containing glucocorticoids. There were 12 patients using OTC arthritis supplements (Artri King [n = 8], Ardosons [n = 3], Ajo Rey [n = 1]) included.

Goals: To investigate whether basal and stimulated levels of cortisol differ between healthy people with obesity and individuals with normal weight Design: Total, free, and salivary cortisol were tested at baseline state and after 1 g ACTH stimulation in 60 healthy subjects with obesity and 54 healthy lean controls.
PDE11A is a phenotype modulator of Primary Bilateral Macronodular Adrenal Hyperplasia: results of a 334 patients' series.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Institut Cochin, INSERM U1016, CNRS UMR8104, Paris Descartes University, Paris, France.
Purpose: Primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH), the most common cause of Cushing's syndrome due to bilateral nodules, is a heterogeneous disease at the clinical, hormonal and morphological levels. ARMC5 inactivating pathogenic variants are causative of PBMAH and rare variants of PDE11A have been associated with PBMAH.
Methods: Leukocyte DNA of 354 PBMAH index cases was sequenced for ARMC5 and PDE11A genes by Next generation sequencing (NGS).
Metyrapone single administration, as a possible predictive tool of its dosage and timing in Cushing's syndrome.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
January 2025
Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kobe University Hospital, Kobe, Japan.
Metyrapone is commonly used in the initial management of Cushing's syndrome to reduce hypercortisolemia, but its optimal dosage and timing can vary significantly between patients. Currently, there are limited guidelines on adjustment methods for its administration to individual needs. This study aimed to evaluate responsiveness of each patient to metyrapone and identify the patient characteristics associated with the indices of cortisol responsiveness following a low-dose metyrapone.
