Bone: The conundrum of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis

The incidence of osteoporosis induced by glucocorticoid treatment is second only to that owing to oestrogen deficiency. Treatment and prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis are, however, pr...

Selective glucocorticoid receptor translational isoforms reveal glucocorticoid-induced apoptotic transcriptomes

Glucocorticoid sensitivity of T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma is associated with glucocorticoid receptor-mediated inhibition of Notch1 expression

FBXW7 regulates glucocorticoid response in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia by targeting the glucocorticoid receptor for degradation

Studying Memory In An Amnesiac Artist

Emma Gregory, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in cognitive science at the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at The Johns Hopkins University, studied whether retrograde amnesia (loss of memor...

Understanding the Side Effects of Glucocorticoid Therapy

How safe is glucocorticoid therapy? We may be treating with a false security. Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases

Musical memory organized at least partially independent of the hippocampus

Together with his team, Prof. Christoph Ploner, director of the Department of Neurology at the Virchow campus, examined a professional cellist who suffered from encephalitis caused by a herpes virus....

Glucocorticoid receptors recruit the CaMKIIα-BDNF-CREB pathways to mediate memory consolidation

The positive effect of stress on memory formation involves glucocorticoid receptors, but is otherwise not well understood. This article reports that stressful memory consolidation in rats involves the...

Let's use those tests! Evaluations of crime-related amnesia claims.

Suspects awaiting trial often claim that they cannot remember important parts of their violent crimes. It is not unusual that forensic experts readily accept such claims and interpret them in terms of...

Dissociative disorders in DSM-5.

Background: We present recommendations for revision of the diagnostic criteria for the Dissociative Disorders (DDs) for DSM-5. The periodic revision of the DSM provides an opportunity to revisit the a...

Conversion, dissociative amnesia, and Ganser syndrome in a case of "chameleon" syndrome: Anatomo-functional findings.

The term "chameleon" was first used in the seventeenth century by Sydenham to describe a patient with a protean semiology. We report a single case of "chameleon" syndrome that challenges the current i...

Administration of a selective glucocorticoid antagonist attenuates electroconvulsive shock-induced retrograde amnesia.

Mifepristone, a glucocorticoid and progesterone receptor antagonist, has been shown to attenuate retrograde amnesia induced by repeated electroconvulsive shocks (ECS). We examined the efficacy of CORT...

Dissociative experience during childbirth.

Objective: A dissociative experience refers to phenomena such as depersonalization, derealization, amnesia, out of body experience, altered time perception and body image. The aim of this study was to...
