Adrenocortical

Breath too fast, pulse too high, adrenocortical analogs off the scale. ❋ Dozois, Gardner (2006)

(Glycyrrhiza uralensis); roots and lower stem are used as a buffer in herbal prescriptions, act similar to adrenocortical hormones, and are effective against stomach ulcers and Addison's Disease; ❋ Unknown (1997)

They were therefore lumped under the heading of adrenocortical steroids, or, by telescoping the phrase, as corticoids. ❋ Asimov, Isaac (1963)

Mifepristone, therefore, remains an interesting treatment option for Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH production or adrenocortical carcinoma that cannot be controlled by surgery alone. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Potential effetcs of corticosteroids during septic shock Activation of IKB -  Inhibition of NFk -  Correction of a relative adrenocortical deficiency Reversal of adrenergic receptor desensitization deficiency Inhibition of inducible iNOS Hemodynamic improvement Decrease in the dosage of catecholamines Decreased trascription for proinflammatory cytokines, Cox-2, ❋ Shabeelpn (2010)

Histologically, the tumor was composed of two distinct components - an epithelioid component with granular cytoplasm that stained for synaptophysin, melan-A, calretinin, and vimentin compatible with adrenocortical differentiation, and a pleomorphic to spindled component that was positive for desmin and myogenin, compatible with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation. ❋ Kotaro Sasaki (2010)

Adrenocortical carcinosarcoma is an extremely rare and aggressive variant of adrenocortical carcinoma characterized by the presence of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components, with the latter often showing heterologous differentiation. ❋ Kotaro Sasaki (2010)

In order to increase awareness and identify potential diagnostic pitfalls, we report the ninth case of non-functioning adrenocortical carcinosarcoma in a 45-year-old man who presented with worsening epigastric pain and a left large retroperitoneal mass in close proximity to the body/tail of pancreas and third portion of the duodenum with displacement of the kidney without parenchymal invasion and multiple liver nodules detected by computed tomographic scan. ❋ Kotaro Sasaki (2010)

The first study is a Phase III, multi-center study that will evaluate the use of OSI-906 for patients with locally advanced or metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Announced a adrenocortical extend of all others of 25 mcg/hr duragesic patches discussed in the united states. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Apparently normal ovarian differentiation in a prepubertal girl with transcriptionally inactive steroidogenic factor 1 (NR5A1 / SF-1) and adrenocortical insufficiency. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This text provides information on the range of drugs and chemicals that affect adrenocortical function and suggests standardized approaches for in vivo and in vitro assessment. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Adrenal Toxicology addresses the increased interest in adrenocortical toxicology and the need for a resource that makes techniques available to examine adrenal endocrine disruption. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Alteration in adrenocortical function in horses with recurrent airway obstruction after aerosol and parenteral administration of beclomethasone dipropionate and dexa-methasone, respectively. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Two well documented examples of this kind of congenital predisposition are pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Substantial further advances in our understanding of adrenal development, steroid biosynthesis and adrenocortical disorders necessitate another look at this small but complex organ. ❋ Unknown (2008)
