    Abstract Late night salivary cortisol (LNSC) is a mainstay in the diagnosis of neoplastic hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome) with a sensitivity and specificity of > 90% in patients with syndromic signs and symptoms. Intermittent hormonogenesis (day to day variation) is common in milder Cushing's disease whereas true cyclic Cushing's syndrome (weeks to months of tumor quiescence) is unusual. In both cases, LNSC is useful as a sensitive evaluative diagnostic tool, although its lower specificity may lead to false positive results in patients without Cushing's disease. Furthermore, intermittent hormonogenesis may lead to false negative LNSC results in patients with mild Cushing's disease. Finally, LNSC is useful as an approach to follow patients after pituitary surgery to detect a recurrence even many years after a full remission.

    Abstract The evaluation of suspected hypercortisolism is one of the most challenging problems in medicine. The signs and symptoms described by Dr Harvey Cushing are common and often create diagnostic confusion to even experienced endocrinologists. Cushing syndrome is classically defined as neoplastic hypercortisolism resulting from an ACTH-secreting tumor or from autonomous secretion of excess cortisol associated with benign or malignant adrenal neoplasia. The increasing recognition of the negative cardiometabolic effects of mild cortisol excess without overt physical signs of Cushing syndrome has led to more screening for endogenous hypercortisolism in patients with adrenal nodular disease, osteoporosis, and the metabolic syndrome. However, sustained or intermittent activation of the dynamic hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis caused by chemical (alcohol), inflammatory (chronic kidney disease), psychologic (major depression), and physical (starvation/chronic intense exercise) stimuli can result in clinical and/or biochemical features indistinguishable from neoplastic hypercortisolism. Nonneoplastic hypercortisolism (formerly known as pseudo-Cushing syndrome) has been recognized for more than 50 years and often causes diagnostic uncertainty. This expert consultation describes two patients with features of Cushing syndrome who were referred for inferior petrosal sinus sampling for the differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism. Both patients were discovered to have nonneoplastic hypercortisolism: one from a covert alcohol use disorder and the other to chronic kidney disease. This consultation emphasizes the value of a good history and physical examination, appropriate laboratory testing, and the desmopressin acetate stimulation test to aid in distinguishing neoplastic from nonneoplastic hypercortisolism.

    Abstract Preterm infants experience multiple stressors including periodic neonatal hypoxia, maternal/caregiver separation, and acute pain from clinical procedures. Although neonatal hypoxia or interventional pain are associated with sexually dimorphic effects that may last into adulthood, the interaction of these common preterm stressors and caffeine pretreatment remains unknown. We hypothesize that an interaction of acute neonatal hypoxia, isolation, and pain modeling the experience of the preterm infant will augment the acute stress response and that caffeine routinely given to preterm infants will alter this response. Male and female rat pups were isolated and exposed to six cycles of periodic hypoxia (10% O
