    Abstract Endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a rare disease characterized by a glucocorticoid excess. If inadequately treated, the latter can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Surgical removal of the underlying tumor is the first line treatment but is sometimes not feasible or even contraindicated. Additionally, in cases with severe CS, rapid control of hypercortisolism may be required. In these scenarios steroidogenesis inhibitors represent a therapeutic alternative to surgery. Over the last years, the knowledge on the broad therapeutic effects of steroidogenesis inhibitors and the number of available drugs have increased. However, large comparative studies are still lacking. Accordingly, the decision on which drug to be used in a certain patient or clinical setting may be difficult. The aim of this review is to summarize the main characteristics of steroidogenesis inhibitors.

    Abstract We assume that a specific health constraint, e.g., a certain aspect of bodily function or quality of life that is measured by a variable X, is absent (or irrelevant) in a healthy reference population (Ref0), and it is materially present and precisely measured in a diseased reference population (Ref1). We further assume that some amount of this constraint of interest is suspected to be present in a population under study (SP). In order to quantify this issue, we propose the introduction of an intuitive measure, the population comparison index (PCI), that relates the mean value of X in population SP to the mean values of X in populations Ref0 and Ref1. This measure is defined as PCI[X] = (mean[X|SP] - mean[X|Ref0])/(mean[X|Ref1] - mean[X|Ref0]) × 100[%], where mean[X|.] is the average value of X in the respective group of individuals. For interpretation, PCI[X] ≈ 0 indicates that the values of X in the population SP are similar to those in population Ref0, and hence, the impairment measured by X is not materially present in the individuals in population SP. On the other hand, PCI[X] ≈ 100 means that the individuals in SP exhibit values of X comparable to those occurring in Ref1, i.e., the constraint of interest is equally present in populations SP and Ref1. A value of 0 < PCI[X] < 100 indicates that a certain percentage of the constraint is present in SP, and it is more than in Ref0 but less than in Ref1. A value of PCI[X] > 100 means that population SP is even more affected by the constraint than population Ref1.

    Abstract Background: Although surgery is considered the first-line treatment for patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS), medical therapy is often required to control severe hypercortisolism. Metyrapone and osilodrostat are both steroidogenic inhibitors targeting the 11β-hydroxylase, however, their therapeutic effectiveness has not yet been directly compared. This study aimed to evaluate metyrapone and osilodrostat in the short-term therapy of CS.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with endogenous CS treated with metyrapone or osilodrostat as monotherapy for at least 4 weeks. Main outcome measures were serum cortisol and 24h urinary free cortisol (UFC) at baseline (T0) and after 2 (T1), 4 (T2), and 12 weeks (T3) of therapy.
    Results: 16 patients with endogenous CS were identified (pituitary n=7, adrenal n=4, ectopic CS n=5). Each 8 patients were treated with metyrapone and osilodrostat. Despite heterogeneity, both groups showed comparable mean UFC levels at T0 (metyrapone: 758 µg/24h
    Conclusion: Although both drugs show comparable therapeutic efficacy, osilodrostat seems to reduce cortisol levels and to control blood pressure faster.

    Title translation New developments and perspectives in acromegaly.
    Abstract Acromegaly is a rare but severe disorder which is usually due to an excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) by a pituitary adenoma. Screening mainly relies on the measurement of insulin-like growth factor 1, and confirmatory diagnostics includes a GH suppression test. As delayed diagnosis results in increased morbidity and mortality, we here discuss recently published suggestions regarding the biochemical work-up of suspected cases and the follow-up of co-morbidities. Moreover, new analytical tools (such as automatic identification of typical facial changes using artificial intelligence) are presented, hopefully allowing for an earlier diagnosis in the future. So far, surgery is still regarded as therapy of first choice. In cases without postoperative remission, a new imaging approach (combining sellar magnetic resonance imaging and position emission tomography) may improve the results of repeated surgery. The pharmaceutical arsenal now includes the first orally available somatostatin analogue, and recent data on possible drug combinations and the outcome of radiotherapy are presented. Finally, special attention is paid to older and pregnant patients, as well as certain considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic (where appropriate diagnosis and management of acromegaly is particularly challenging).

    Abstract Purpose: Patients with acromegaly oftentimes exhibit a reduced physical and psychological health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Maladaptive coping styles are associated with poor HRQoL in a number of diseases and patients with pituitary adenomas in general exhibit less effective coping styles than healthy controls. This study aimed to assess coping strategies in acromegaly patients in order to explore leverage points for the improvement of HRQoL.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we administered self-report surveys for coping strategies and HRQoL (Short Form SF-36, Freiburg questionnaire on coping with illness, FKV-LIS) in patients with acromegaly. These were set into relation with a variety of health variables.
    Results: About half of the 106 patients (44.3% female) with a mean age of 56.4 ± 1.3 years showed impaired physical and psychological HRQoL on average 11.2 years after the initial diagnosis. Body mass index, age at survey date and concomitant radiotherapy explained 27.8% of the variance of physical HRQoL, while depressive coping added an additional 9.2%. Depressive coping style and trivialization and wishful thinking were pivotal predictors of an impaired psychological HRQoL with a total explained variance of 51.6%, whereas patient health variables did not affect psychological HRQoL.
    Conclusion: Our results show that maladaptive coping styles have a substantial negative impact on psychological HRQoL in patients with acromegaly, whereas physical HRQoL is influenced to a lesser extent. Specialized training programs aimed at improving coping strategies could reduce long-term disease burden and increase HRQoL in the affected patients.

    Title translation Non-functioning pituitary tumors - short presentation of the first German guideline.
    Abstract Pituitary tumors are frequent (estimated prevalence in adults up to 10 %). However, diagnostic work-up and therapeutic concepts are not well standardized; especially for non-functioning tumors. In the beginning of 2020, the first German interdisciplinary guideline on these topics was published. Here, we present shortly the most important aspects of this guideline. One key message is that all patients with pituitary tumors should be managed by an interdisciplinary team (consisting at least of an endocrinologist, a neurosurgeon, and a (neuro-)radiologist). At first presentation, detailed morphological characterization (with magnet resonance imaging) and endocrine work-up to exclude (or prove) hormonal excess or deficiency states is required. An ophthalmological examination is needed only in presence of symptoms or large tumors affecting the visual system. In asymptomatic, hormonally inactive tumors a 'wait and scan' strategy is standard of care. In case of an (impending) visual impairment, surgical treatment shall be performed by an experienced pituitary surgeon. If the surgical resection was incomplete or if tumors are recurrent, therapeutic modalities (e. g. re-operation, radiotherapy, observation) should be interdisciplinary considered. In all patients with or without therapeutic intervention, long-term follow-up is required. Patient with larger pituitary tumors or former surgery/radiotherapy should be regularly counseled regarding potential symptoms of hormonal insufficiency.
