After a baseline has been established, stimulation with corticotrophin (ACTH) and suppression with dexamethasone give valuable information on adrenal responsiveness to and dependence on ACTH and on the inhibition of pituitary ACTH secretion. The present report deals with the interpretation of the basal measurements in patients with different rates of secretion or metabolism. Since some excellent reports on the secretion and metabolism of cortisol have been published (1), special attention will be directed to...References1.

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.
