Cushing’s Syndrome
Recent studies have reported expanding treatment options for Cushing’s syndrome.
current affairs image

About Cushing’s Syndrome:

  • It is a disorder that occurs when the body makes too much of the hormone cortisol over a long period of time.
    • Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands and helps control blood pressure, metabolism, immunity, and the body’s response to stress.
  • Cause:
    • The most common cause is long-term use of steroid medicines prescribed for asthma, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, or after organ transplants.
    • The body produces excess cortisol on its own. This is usually due to a non-cancerous tumour in the pituitary gland (called Cushing’s disease).
  • Signs and Symptoms:
    • Weight gain especially around the abdomen and face and develop fat buildup between the shoulders.
    • The skin becomes thin and bruises easily. Wounds may heal slowly. Wide purple stretch marks can appear on the abdomen, thighs, breasts, or arms.
    • Acne and increased facial or body hair (especially in women) can also occur.
    • Women may notice irregular or absent periods, while men may experience reduced libido or fertility issues.
    • Many people develop high blood pressure and high blood sugar, and some develop diabetes.
    • Bone loss can lead to osteoporosis and fractures.
    • Anxiety, irritability, depression, mood swings, sleeps problems and memory problems.
  • Risks: Women are more commonly affected than men in naturally occurring (endogenous) cases, especially between ages 30 and 50.
  • Treatment:
    • Treatment depends on the cause and aims to bring cortisol levels back to normal.
    • If steroid medicines are the cause, doctors slowly reduce the dose under supervision.
    • If a tumour is causing excess cortisol, surgery is usually the first treatment.

About New Earthworm Species:

Moniligaster girishi:

  • It is endemic to Western Ghats and belongs to the family Moniligastridae.
  • It is named after P. Girish Kumar, a scientist at the Zoological Survey of India’s Western Ghats Regional Centre, Kozhikode.
  • It was collected from the tropical wet evergreen forest.
  • Characteristics of Moniligaster girishi:
  • It is of the gravelyi species-group.
  • It is distinguished by a single undivided spermathecal atrial gland on each side of the anterior body, particularly by the condition of its prostate and prostatic capsule.
  • It has a smooth, tubular capsule at one end that flattens into a strap-like shape.

About Drawida reynoldsi

  • It was collected from the montane grassland.
  • It is named after John Warren Reynolds, an eminent Canadian earthworm specialist.
  • It belongs to the robusta species-group characterised by glandular prostates and bilobed spermathecal atria.

Key Facts about Earthworms

  • They are terrestrial worms of the class Oligochaeta (phylum Annelida)—in particular, members of the genus Lumbricus. 
  • Earthworms are harmless, often beneficial residents of the soil.
  • Benefits:
  • They breakdown dead and decaying organic matter into rich humus soil, thereby supporting plant growth.
  • Earthworm releases waste from their bodies called castings. Castings contain many nutrients that the plant can use.
  • They also dig tiny channels and make holes that aerate soil and improve drainage.
