Extrait : Le syndrome de Cushing, ou hypercorticisme chronique, est une pathologie décrite par Harvey Cushing en 1932, qui se manifeste de manière clinique et est causée par un excès de sécrétion d'une hormone corticosurrénale, le cortisol, par les glandes surrénales et ayant des conséquences pathologiques. La manifestation la plus visible est l'apparition d'une obésité chronique de la partie supérieure du corps et un aspect bouffi du visage. Il faut distinguer le syndrome de Cushing de la maladie de Cushing qui en est une sous-catégorie (cf Clinique). Le syndrome de Cushing peut également avoir une origine médicamenteuse en raison de prises excessives de glucocorticoïdes. Le diagnostic du syndrome de Cushing est relativement difficile à poser. En effet, les symptômes évocateurs de ce trouble ne sont pas pathognomoniques et peuvent relever de beaucoup d'autres maladies. Le coup d'œil clinique permet toutefois de repérer, si le médecin y songe, la silhouette typiquement « cushingoïde ». D'autres symptômes cliniques et fonctionnels moins manifestes peuvent également aiguiller le médecin : Sur la base de ces symptômes, des tests biologiques s'avèrent nécessaires et peuvent montrer des taux de cortisol libre urinaire sur 24h anormalement élevés, avec une perturbation de son rythme nyctéméral, et en général un ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
Through a unique presentation of clinical photographs and accompanying histologic photomicrographs, Clinical and Pathological Aspects of Skin Diseases in Endocrine, Metabolic, Nutritional and Deposition Disease provides the practicing surgical pathologist, dermatologist, endocrinologist, internal medicine physician and dermatopathologist with a single volume source that reviews the clinical and pathologic features of metabolic and endocrine disorders that display cutaneous manifestations. Color photographs are presented for each condition followed by a series of phoromicrographs depicting each entity microscopically. The text includes Clinical Features, Pathology, Etiopathogenesis, Differential Diagnosis and Therapy for all entities, described in a clear, concise style. In-depth discussions of the clinical findings, as well as the histologic features of these diseases are included.Additionally, laboratory data used to make and support the diagnoses is discussed for each entity.The first section covers metabolic disorders that have cutaneous manifestations. Diseases organized by the endocrine organ primarily responsible for the systemic condition are covered. For each entity, an atlas of clinical manifestations is presented that will serve as a “bed-side” clinical reference, followed by a series of photomicrographs depicting the histologic changes.This unique format of presentation is followed throughout the volume in the second through fourth sections addressing Metabolic Diseases, Nutritional Disorders that affect the skin and finally Cutaneous Deposition Disorders. Clinical and Pathological Aspects of Skin Diseases in Endocrine, Metabolic, Nutritional and Deposition Disease is a unique reference for the practicing dermatopathologist, general pathologist reviewing skin biopsies, general dermatologists, internists and endocrinologists. ...

From the author: Objective: The aims of this study were (a) to investigate the neuropathological damage in brain regions and changes of corticosteroid concentrations related to chronic alcohol administration, (b) to see what effect fluoxetine (Prozac) has on the neuropathological damage and corticosteroid levels, and (c) to evaluate the potential association between neuropathological damage and changes of corticosteroid levels. Method: Rats were randomly divided into alcohol and control groups, with the former given ethanol intraperitoneally for 8 weeks; corticosterone levels were measured in both groups. Thereafter, fluoxetine hydrochloride or saline was injected into the animals. The rats were sacrificed and the number of neurons in five regions of the cerebral cortex was determined. Results: The numbers of neurons in the frontal cortex, parietal cortex, and CA3 regions of the hippocampus of the alcoholic group treated with saline were significantly reduced compared with the control group treated with saline. The number of neurons observed in CA3 regions of the hippocampal cortex of the alcoholic group treated with fluoxetine was significantly increased compared with the alcoholic group treated with saline. Corticosteroid levels of the alcoholic group treated with saline were significantly increased compared with the control group. Corticosteroid levels of the alcoholic group treated with fluoxetine were obviously reduced compared with the alcoholic group treated with saline. The number of neurons in the CA3 regions of the hippocampus was adversely associated with corticosteroid levels. Conclusions: Chronic alcohol administration induced selective loss of neurons in different brain regions and increased corticosteroid concentrations. Fluoxetine may have alleviated neuronal loss in the hippocampus and attenuated hypercortisolemia related to alcohol. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 71, 290-294, 2010)
