Introduction: Ectopic ACTH production due to malignant tumors is a rare cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS). Diagnosis and treatment of such patients can be challenging. Case: 22 year old female with recent onset fatigue, weight gain, polyuria, polydipsia, presented with melena and hypotension. She had cushingoid facies, acne, central obesity, muscle weakness and purple striae. Labs showed: Cortisol 56 µg/dl (5-15), 24 hour UFC >1000 µg/24hr (5-50), Cortisol after 1mg Dexamethasone suppression 54 µg/dl (Learning points: When evaluating patients with suspected ectopic ACTH production, independent review of radiologic imaging should be done to avoid being misled by prior reports. EUS …

BACKGROUND: Continuous intravenous insulin infusion (CII) following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery reduces postoperative complications and hospitalization duration. Because of limited data evaluating outcomes of CII with revised glycemic targets (110-140 mg/dL) in cardiac surgery, this study compared efficacy and safety of two different CII protocols having revised targets. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study comparing two different protocols between August 2009 and March 2010. Protocol 1 consists of four algorithms, and Protocol 2 is a table to adjust CII. Blood glucose (BG) and CII rates were recorded for 48 h postoperatively or CII discontinuation. Efficacy was …
