TLDR
The prevention of adrenal crisis must be balanced with avoidance of the long-term adverse effects of over-replacement, and education and empowerment in the management of glucocorticoid deficiency, and the prevention of crises, are crucial.

Comorbidities of sarcoidosis

TL;DR: In the diagnostic workup, a distinction must be made between sarcoidosis-related complaints and complaints caused by other separate disorders, because it can be very difficult to distinguish between complications of sarCOidosis and other concomitant conditions.

Dual-release hydrocortisone vs conventional glucocorticoids in adrenal insufficiency

TL;DR: DR-HC is associated with an improvement of metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risk compared to conventional GCs, which are associated with a worsening of these parameters, regardless of the dose used.

Grapefruit Juice Facilitates Cortisol Replacement Therapy: Role of CYP3A Variant Alleles

TL;DR: Grapefruit juice enhances cortisol availability by increasing 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) type 1 activity and simultaneously inhibiting cortisol metabolism by inhibiting the CYP3A enzymes.

Glucocorticoid induced adrenal insufficiency

TL;DR: • Educate patients taking prednisolone ≥5 mg/day or equivalent for more than four weeks, 40 mg prednisolisolone for longer than one week, or repeated short courses of glucocorticoids via any route (≥3 per year) about the risk of glucocoorticoid induced adrenal insufficiency (GC-AI) as mentioned in this paper .

Corticosteroid inhibition of ACTH secretion.

TL;DR: There is some evidence that suggests that whereas comparator elements are not reset during stress, a comparator element is reset during the course of the circadian rhythm so that different basal levels of steroid are achieved.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Adrenal Insufficiency: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline.

TL;DR: A low diagnostic threshold in acutely ill patients, as well as in patients with predisposing factors, is suggested for pregnant women with unexplained persistent nausea, fatigue, and hypotension and a short corticotropin test is recommended as the "gold standard" diagnostic tool to establish the diagnosis.

Corticosteroid insufficiency in acutely ill patients.

TL;DR: The authors present an updated, practical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of hypoadrenalism in acutely ill patients, and summarizes the physiology of the corticosteroid response in acute illness.

Dehydroepiandrosterone replacement in women with adrenal insufficiency.

TL;DR: Dehydroepiandrosterone improves well-being and sexuality in women with adrenal insufficiency and significantly improved overall well- being as well as scores for depression and anxiety.

Use of oral corticosteroids in the United Kingdom

TL;DR: Investigation of the usage pattern of oral corticosteroids in a large sample representative of the general population in England and Wales found patients with arthropathies were most likely to use long-term, continuous treatment, and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease least likely.
