I now have all the content from the PPT. Here is the complete answer strictly from the PPT content:

Cushing's Syndrome - 5 Markers

(Source: ENDOCRINE-2020 final.ppt, Pages 94-98)
Definition: Cushing's Syndrome is a clinical disorder produced by prolonged increases in plasma glucocorticoids.

Features (5 key points for exam):
1. Protein Metabolism Patients are protein-depleted due to excess protein catabolism. Skin and subcutaneous tissues become thin. Muscles are poorly developed and wounds heal poorly. Hair becomes thin and rough.
2. Carbohydrate Metabolism Amino acids from catabolized proteins are converted into glucose in the liver, causing resultant hyperglycemia. There is decreased peripheral utilization of glucose, which can precipitate insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus - called Adrenal diabetes.
3. Fat Metabolism Body fat is redistributed in a characteristic pattern. Extremities become thin, but fat collects in the abdominal wall, face (producing moon-like face), and upper back (producing a "buffalo hump"). The thin abdominal skin stretched by increased subcutaneous fat causes subdermal tissues to rupture, forming prominent reddish-purple striae.
4. Electrolyte, Water, GIT & Blood Changes
  • Electrolyte and water metabolism: oedema and hypertension.
  • GIT: predisposes to peptic ulcer formation.
  • Blood: eosinopenia, lymphopenia, basopenia, neutrophilia, polycythemia, increased platelet count, and decreased clotting time.
5. CNS, Infections & Sexual Changes
  • CNS: psychosis, euphoria, restlessness.
  • Increased susceptibility to infection.
  • Sexual changes: increased facial hair and acne; impotency and hypogonadism in males; amenorrhoea in females.

Cushing's Disease - 5 Markers

(Source: ENDOCRINE-2020 final.ppt)
Important Note: Your PPT does not have a separate slide titled "Cushing's Disease." The PPT only covers Cushing's Syndrome as a clinical topic. The term "Cushing's Disease" specifically refers to the pituitary-dependent (ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma) cause of Cushing's Syndrome. The PPT covers the underlying mechanism via the glucocorticoid regulation slides (Pages 86-87), which describes the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
Based strictly on the PPT content available (regulation of glucocorticoids + Cushing's Syndrome features):
1. Cause / Mechanism (from Regulation slide - Page 86) Cushing's Disease is caused by excess ACTH secretion from the anterior pituitary (under influence of CRH from hypothalamus), leading to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia and excess cortisol production. It is the most common cause of endogenous Cushing's Syndrome.
2. Protein Metabolism Effect Excess glucocorticoids (from excess ACTH) cause excess protein catabolism - leading to thin skin, poor muscle development, poor wound healing, and thin/rough hair.
3. Carbohydrate Metabolism Effect Excess cortisol increases hepatic gluconeogenesis and decreases peripheral glucose utilization, causing hyperglycemia and adrenal (steroid) diabetes mellitus.
4. Fat Redistribution Excess cortisol causes characteristic redistribution of fat - moon face, buffalo hump, and truncal obesity with purple abdominal striae.
5. Other Systemic Effects Blood changes (eosinopenia, lymphopenia, neutrophilia, polycythemia), CNS effects (psychosis, euphoria), increased infection susceptibility, sexual dysfunction (amenorrhoea in females, hypogonadism in males), oedema, hypertension, and peptic ulcer formation.

Strictly from the PPT, only Cushing's Syndrome content is present. The 5-marker answer for Cushing's Disease uses the same PPT's glucocorticoid regulation mechanism + syndrome features, since the PPT does not have a dedicated Cushing's Disease slide. If your exam requires separate distinctions, please check if a different slide/topic in your notes specifically covers Cushing's Disease causes.

Here are both answers strictly in points from your PPT:

Cushing's Syndrome

(5 Markers)
Definition:
  • Clinical disorder produced by prolonged increases in plasma glucocorticoids.

1. Protein Metabolism:
  • Excess protein catabolism → protein depletion
  • Skin and subcutaneous tissues become thin
  • Muscles are poorly developed
  • Wounds heal poorly; hair becomes thin and rough
2. Carbohydrate Metabolism:
  • Amino acids from catabolized proteins converted to glucose in liver
  • Causes hyperglycemia
  • Decreased peripheral utilization of glucose
  • Precipitates insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus → called Adrenal diabetes
3. Fat Metabolism:
  • Body fat redistributed in characteristic way
  • Extremities become thin
  • Fat collects in face → Moon-like face
  • Fat collects on upper back → Buffalo hump
  • Thin abdominal skin stretches → subdermal tissues rupture → reddish-purple striae
4. Electrolyte, Water, GIT & Blood Changes:
  • Oedema and hypertension
  • Predisposes to peptic ulcer formation
  • Blood: eosinopenia, lymphopenia, basopenia, neutrophilia, polycythemia
  • Increased platelet count; decreased clotting time
5. CNS, Infection & Sexual Changes:
  • CNS: psychosis, euphoria, restlessness
  • Increased susceptibility to infection
  • Males: impotency and hypogonadism; increased facial hair and acne
  • Females: amenorrhoea; increased facial hair and acne


Cushing's Disease

(5 Markers)
Note: Your PPT does not have a dedicated "Cushing's Disease" slide. Cushing's Disease is the pituitary-dependent cause of Cushing's Syndrome. The points below are drawn strictly from your PPT's glucocorticoid regulation slides + Cushing's Syndrome features.
1. Definition / Cause:
  • Excess ACTH secretion from the anterior pituitary
  • ACTH is secreted under influence of CRH from hypothalamus
  • Excess ACTH → bilateral adrenal hyperplasia → excess cortisol production
  • Most common cause of endogenous Cushing's Syndrome
2. Protein Metabolism:
  • Excess cortisol causes excess protein catabolism
  • Skin becomes thin; muscles poorly developed
  • Poor wound healing; thin and rough hair
3. Carbohydrate Metabolism:
  • Excess cortisol increases hepatic gluconeogenesis
  • Decreased peripheral utilization of glucose
  • Results in hyperglycemia → Adrenal (steroid) diabetes mellitus
4. Fat Metabolism:
  • Characteristic fat redistribution
  • Moon face, buffalo hump, truncal obesity
  • Reddish-purple abdominal striae
5. Systemic Effects:
  • Blood: eosinopenia, lymphopenia, neutrophilia, polycythemia
  • CNS: psychosis, euphoria, restlessness
  • Increased susceptibility to infections
  • Oedema and hypertension
  • Sexual dysfunction: amenorrhoea (females), hypogonadism and impotency (males)

Since your PPT covers only Cushing's Syndrome as a distinct topic, if your exam paper distinguishes the two separately, Cushing's Disease = pituitary ACTH excess causing all the features listed above.
