This meta-analysis found a consistent positive association between glucocorticoids in hair and obesity measures, with the relationship between hair cortisone and waist circumference being particularly clinically relevant.

This case study describes a 36-year-old woman with a history of recurrent limb weakness linked to hypokalemia and later diagnosed with Cushing syndrome indicated by elevated cortisol levels and a pituitary mass, which was treated with surgery and radiosurgery.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms.

This report describes a rare case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by a pheochromocytoma that unusually co-expresses both ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

This review discusses the physicochemical properties, binding mechanisms, and factors affecting corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) functions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that a 26-year-old woman had autosomal dominantly inherited hereditary cortisol insensitivity, leading to increased adrenocortical cortisol and androgen secretion, which caused clinical symptoms unlike in her male relatives.

This case study reports the clinical features of triple H syndrome in a 25-year-old man, including ACTH deficiency, alopecia universalis, and anterograde amnesia, which were improved with hydrocortisone treatment.

This case series highlights the risk of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency among immigrant patients using over-the-counter medications from other countries, which often contain hidden glucocorticoids marketed as vitamins, prompting clinicians to perform thorough medication histories for accurate diagnosis and management.

This article discusses the complexities of diagnosing pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting issues with varied symptoms and episodic hormone secretion complicating diagnosis.

This case report presents a rare instance of recurrent ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome due to PBMAH, coinciding with the development of a pheochromocytoma, highlighting the need for thorough reevaluation in similar recurring cases.

This case study reported a unique instance of a benign adrenal adenoma co-secreting cortisol and DHEA-S, which initially mimicked PCOS symptoms. Surgical removal resulted in significant clinical improvement, confirming the diagnosis of cyclic adrenal Cushing's syndrome.

This case study diagnosed a cat with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, confirmed by specific hormonal tests and post-mortem findings of adrenal hyperplasia and a pituitary adenoma.

This review discusses the etiology and clinical findings of atypical hyperadrenocorticism in dogs due to sex steroid imbalance and explores various treatment options, but reports no new results.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This review explores pseudo-Cushing's states that mimic Cushing's syndrome but do not involve elevated cortisol, and it presents no new research findings.

This case report uncovered that hidden dexamethasone in a dietary supplement caused misleading Cushingoid symptoms and lab results, underscoring the risk of undisclosed ingredients in supplements.

This case report details a 13-year-old boy with Cushing syndrome, where BIPSS identified the pituitary gland as the cortisol excess source and hormonal tests showed suppressed puberty markers.

This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes the need for earlier detection and proper management; it reports no clinical results.

This case study reported that even with improved adrenal androgens and testosterone levels, treating women with AH-PCOS with glucocorticoids did not significantly improve ovulatory function or hirsutism.

A young man with an eating disorder had a life-threatening adrenal crisis due to an autoimmune condition, highlighting the need for better education on managing hormone treatments.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations, suggesting hyperactivation of the HPA axis may affect metabolic and inflammatory markers in those with elevated cortisol levels.

This case report detailed a unique instance of hypopituitarism in a 65-year-old male presenting with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, attributed to secondary adrenal insufficiency, which improved following appropriate cortisol treatment.

This study reports a case of a woman with Cushing's disease whose initial complaint was hair loss, a rare presenting symptom, despite multiple dermatological signs like easy bruising and violaceous striae being more indicative of the condition.

This study highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated stress-related dermatological issues like acne and hair loss by affecting skin and hair cycles through stress hormones, emphasizing the need for comprehensive psychoneuroendocrine-informed approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

In this study, plasma levels of MSH and cortisol in patients with alopecia areata did not show significant changes compared to healthy controls.

This article discusses various causes of hyperandrogenism in women and highlights diagnostic considerations for conditions such as PCOS, NCCAH, Cushing's disease, and androgen-secreting tumors, without reporting new clinical results.

This case report describes a 10-year-old terrier with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism successfully treated with mitotane.
