| Cushing's basophilism | <endocrinology, syndrome> An increased concentration of glucocorticoid hormone (ACTH) in the bloodstream that is being produced by an adrenal gland tumour (adenoma). Ectopic Cushing syndrome refers to the production of ACTH in a location other than the pituitary gland or adrenal gland. Examples of ectopic sites include thymoma, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, pheochromocytoma, islet cell tumours of the pancreas and oat cell carcinoma of the lung. Symptoms include weight gain, central obesity, moon face, weakness, fatigue, backache, headache, increased thirst, increased urination, impotence, mental status changes and muscle atrophy. Treatment varies with cause. If an ACTH secreting tumour is involved then it must be removed surgically. (27 Sep 1997) |

| Cushing, Harvey | <person> This leader of neurosurgery was born in Cleveland, Ohio, graduated from Harvard in 1895, remained at Massachusetts General Hospital for one year, spent 15 years at Johns Hopkins, returned to Harvard as Professor of Surgery, and retired in new Haven where he continued actively until his death. Cushing's accomplishments in neurosurgery were amazing. In 1906, he demonstrated the relationship between pituitary tumours and sexual infantilism. In 1917, he published a classic, "The Pituitary Body and Its Disorders." Cushing wrote many charming essays, some of which were published as a collection under the title, "Consecratio Medici" in 1928.
