Abstract:
Cushings syndrome and especially Cushing´s disease represent diagnostically and therapeutically complicated medical situations. In some patients, cyclic changes in cortisol production additionally hamper the diagnosis in terms of source identification and management of hormone overproduction. It may not be clear, whether the patient is cured or not even years after the treatment. It is a rare disorder variant, but we assume that it is underdiagnosed and it´s incidence is actually higher. The article deals with a complicated course of diagnosis and treatment in a patient with cyclic Cushings syndrome.Key words: Cushing´s disease - cyclic Cushing´s syndrome - hypercortisolism.

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
