Hypersecretion

Relationship of cortisol hypersecretion to brain CT scan alterations in depressed patients. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)

When hypersecretion is suspected and high hormonal concentrations are observed, one must determine whether the level is appropriate or inappropriate and whether the hormonal secretion is autonomous or can be modulated by appropriate physiologic or pharmacologic agents. ❋ Unknown (1977)

These little sacs or muco-synovial capsules, under peculiar conditions of traumatism, are liable to become subject to a diseased process, which consists principally in a hypersecretion of their contents and an increase in dimensions, and they may undergo peculiar pathological changes of such character as to disable an animal, and in many instances to cause serious blemishes which can but depreciate its value. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)

The hypersecretion of substances by the tumor, in particular serotonin, results in symptoms, mainly diarrhea and flushing. ❋ Pillscribe (2010)

Cigarette smoking causes lung inflammation, which can lead to oxidative stress, emphysema, small airway fibrosis, mucus hypersecretion and progressive airflow limitation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

If rebound acid hypersecretion induces acid-related symptoms, this might lead to PPI dependency. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Moreover, evidence of cortisol hypersecretion developed after 24 months of follow-up in a 30-year-old man with a 3. 5-cm adenoma in the left adrenal gland. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This is called "rebound hypersecretion," It is, therefore, often advisable for people taking PPI's to avoid sudden stoppage of medication ❋ Unknown (2008)

IBS is characterised by a combination of symptoms and signs, such as abdominal pain, constipation (IBS-C), diarrhoea (IBS-D) - or alternating between both (IBS-A) - a noted change in both the frequency and consistency of stools, rectal mucus due to hypersecretion of colonic mucus, dyspeptic symptoms including anorexia, flatulence, gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and nausea, and an emotional component where anxiety and / or depression are often noted. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Our data suggest that reduced substrate supply during fetal development can trigger permanent dysregulation of the adipoinsular feedback system leading to hyperleptinemia, hyperinsulinism and compensatory leptin production by pancreatic delta-cells in a further attempt to reduce insulin hypersecretion in the progression to adipogenic diabetes. ❋ Gareth Leng (2008)

Acromegaly is a rare and serious condition related to the hypersecretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland, generally of tumoral origin. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In the 1950s and 1960s, according to a theory known as the British hypothesis, repeated airway infection and hypersecretion of mucus were thought to be the causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ❋ Unknown (2008)

Researchers were still unable to relate the frequency of exacerbations - acute increases in the respiratory symptoms of COPD that require medical intervention - and hypersecretion of mucus to the progression of airflow obstruction. 1 Instead, the frequency of bacterial isolation from sputum was found to be similar in stable COPD and during exacerbations. ❋ Unknown (2008)
