    Cyclic Cushing’s syndrome is a subentity of Cushing’s syndrome in which phases of biochemical hypercortisolism (peaks) are followed by spontaneous periods of physiological or even hypocortisolaemic cortisol secretion (troughs). To identify common features of cyclic Cushing’s syndrome, we systematically reviewed single case reports and case series in MEDLINE from database inception to Oct 10, 2022, and identified 707 articles, of which 149 articles were assessed for eligibility and 118 articles (covering 212 cases) were included in the analysis.

    One of the best ways to collect information about diagnostic errors is through self-reporting by patients and clinicians. Successful approaches to learn from diagnostic quality and develop strategies to reduce harm from diagnostic failure depend on two workplace characteristics: psychological safety and organizational safety culture. Both concepts are explored in this issue brief.

    September 15, 2023 — Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is underutilized in the United States, and reduced access to this noninvasive diagnostic imaging tool may pose a greater risk to patients than rare side effects associated with use, according to doctors who spoke today at the 37th International Bubble Conference in Chicago.  The conference drew CEUS experts from North America, Europe, China and Brazil, and focused on advances in the use of “microbubble” ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) used routinely worldwide to diagnose heart and vascular disease, identify and characterize tumors, monitor chronic gastro-intestinal diseases, evaluate other serious medical conditions and monitor therapy. UEAs do not contain dye, create no known risk of kidney damage or deposit of contrast media in the brain, and do not expose patients or hospital staff to ionizing radiation.  “CEUS is among the safest of contrast media available,” according to Dr. Strom, an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Ha
