Acromegaly

Melmed, Shlomo·1990·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

ACROMEGALY, well described in antiquity, was recognized as a distinct clinical syndrome by Marie in 1886.1 The pituitary source of the disorder was confirmed in 1909 by Cushing, who postulated the excessive secretion of growth-promoting hormone by a hyperfunctioning pituitary gland.2 Recent progress in the diagnosis and treatment of this fascinating clinical syndrome has been reviewed.3 4 5 6 7 Advances in neuroendocrinology have resulted in the development of novel neuropeptide medications that herald a new era of pharmacologic management of hormone-secreting tumors. This review focuses on advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of acromegaly, diagnosis of the various forms of the disorder, . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
