| | Harvey Williams Cushing (www.whonamedit.com) |
 | | Cushing’s first experience of pituitary disease was in 1901, when he carried out a decompression of a girl aged 14 who had complained of headaches and visual failure. | | | Cushing contributed to the study of blood pressure during surgery and developed the method of local anaesthesia during surgery. | | | In Switzerland in 1900-1901 Cushing studied the blood-pressure-spinal-pressure problem and demonstrated in a classic experiment that as the spinal fluid pressure of a dog is increased, there is initially a vagal effect with bradycardia followed by a high rise in arterial blood pressure. |

| | Gastroenterology Chapter 6 Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease |
| | Another therapeutic approach to the patient with peptic ulcer disease, based on different pathophysiologic mechanisms, includes the use of drugs that enhance mucosal defense. | | | There is epidemiologic evidence suggesting that the incidence and behavior of chronic peptic ulcers vary according to the site at which they occur. | | | The continuation of the environmental factors responsible for the initial development of the ulcer may be responsible for lack of healing. |

| | Surgical Care: Surgical intervention is required in a small percentage of infants and children with complications of PUD that include perforation, obstruction, intractable pain, and bleeding unresponsive to medical or endoscopic therapy. | | | An 8-wk course of therapy is tried, by which time most ulcers are healed. | | | Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established. |

| | Many nonsurgical and surgical treatments (eg, antisecretory ulcer drugs; vasoconstrictors; angiographic techniques, such as arterial embolization; endoscopic coagulation) have been used, but few improve outcome. | | | The data on this subject are conflicting, and further study is needed. | | | Helicobacter pylori does not appear to have a major role in the pathogenesis of this condition. |

| | ACP: Nighttime Salivary Cortisol Test Has Excellent Specificity and Sensitivity |
| | In an update session on endocrinology at the Annual Session of the American College of Physicians here on April 4th, Glenn Braunstein, MD, said nighttime salivary cortisol testing is a practical and accurate way to distinguish between Cushing's and pseudo-Cushing's syndromes. | | | The test is easy and convenient for the patient to do, said Dr. Braunstein, Chairman, Department of Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Professor of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine. | | | In one study from the National Institutes of Health, saliva was collected by expectoration at 11:30 PM and midnight from 122 Cushing's patients, 21 pseudo-Cushing's patients, 23 patients with nonadrenal disorders, and 34 healthy controls. |

| | Ironically, one of the commonest causes of Cushing syndrome is the administration of "cortisol-like medications" for the treatment of diverse diseases. | | | Cushing syndrome, perhaps his most celebrated discovery, is an extremely complex hormonal condition that involves many areas of the body. | | | Common symptoms are thinning of the skin, weakness, weight gain, bruising, hypertension, diabetes, thin weak bones (osteoporosis), facial puffiness and, in women, cessation of menstrual periods. |

| | Q&A - Ask Dr Mike |
| | Hormonal diseases can cause bizarre symptoms in some patients and hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism and hypoadrenocorticism could cause the the symptoms seen. | | | Hypothyroidism is the most common hormonal disease in dogs and hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease) is probably second. | | | In older dogs these conditions can be associated with hormonal imbalances, such as hypothyroidism or hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease). |
