BACKGROUND: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, accompanied by multiple endocrine neoplasms of the parathyroid, pancreas, pituitary, and other neoplasms in the adrenal glands. However, in some cases, pati...
Subclinical Cushing syndrome is a condition of mild autonomous cortisol excess (MACE) that lacks typical features of Cushing syndrome but is associated with many complications. It represents a common hormonal dysfunction among patients with adrenal i...

OBJECTIVE: Overnight high-dose dexamethasone suppression test (ON-HDDST) is a simple test to localize the source of ACTH in patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome (CS). However, previous studies have reported its varying accuracy. We studied...
To evaluate the efficacy of 24 h urinary free cortisol (24 h UFC) in the diagnosis of subclinical Cushing's syndrome (SCS), and explore the best diagnostic cut-off value. The clinical data of patients with adrenal incidentaloma in Chinese PLA Gener...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning has the potential to assist the medical diagnostic process. We aimed to identify facial anomalies associated with endocrinal disorders using a deep-learning approach to facilitate the process of diagnosis and follow-up.

Cushing's syndrome (CS) provides a unique model for assessing the neurotoxic effect of chronic hypercortisolism on human brains. With the ongoing development of different computer-assisted tools, four research stages emerged, each with its own pearls...
Cushing's syndrome is an endocrine disease in dogs that negatively impacts upon the quality-of-life of affected animals. Cushing's syndrome can be a challenging diagnosis to confirm, therefore new methods to aid diagnosis are warranted. Four machine-...
Robotic assisted surgery is the most rapidly developing field of minimally invasive surgery. Its wide diffusion has led to the development and standardization of robotic-assisted approaches also for adrenalectomy. In this study, we present the first ...
