BACKGROUND Cushing syndrome (CS) is the result of extended exposure to excessive glucocorticoids from endogenous or exogenous sources. Traditionally, the most common cause of endogenous CS is a pituitary adenoma (Cushing disease). Less common causes are adrenocortical tumors and extrapituitary adrenocorticotropin-producing neoplasias. OBJECTIVES This review provides updated information regard...

Not so Non-renormalizable Gravity

We review recent progress with the understanding of quantum fields, including ideas [1] how gravity might turn out to be a renormalizable theory after all.

A not-so-uncommon presentation of an uncommon disease: nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma.

He failed to attend for treatment after discharge but re-presented 3 weeks later with an acute exacerbation of his chronic pulmonary obstructive disease. During those 3 weeks his nasal condition had advanced rap...

Homocysteine is not so paradoxical.

To the Editor: Rodionov and Lentz1 summarized the homocysteine paradox. Hyperhomocysteinemia disrupts vascular structure and function in animals and predicts risk of “coronary events, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and death,” yet clinical benefit in intervention trials remains unproved. They offer several plausible explanations. Trials usually involve dietary supplementation with folate and v...
