It will probably be seen with greater frequency as a result of Cushing's description of a well-defined associated syndrome.2This notable contribution was soon supplemented by equally stimulating papers by the same author on the questions of posterior lobe activity and its relationship to hypertension.3These and the studies of others4have served to focus attention on the pituitary as a probable factor in the development of...Bibliography1.
