Understanding Credit Scores. Your credit score is a three-digit number that represents the state of your credit. If you know your score, you can get a sense of how lenders, insurance agencies, and interested employers view your credit: Excellent Credit: Credit Score Above 800. If your credit score is above 800, you have an exceptionally long credit history that is unmarred by things such as late payments, collections accounts, liens, judgments, or bankruptcies.
cushingoid cushÂ·ingÂ·oid (kush'Ä­ng-oid') adj. Resembling the signs and symptoms of Cushing's disease or Cushing's syndrome.
Cushingâs disease is a specific type of Cushingâs syndrome caused by a pituitary tumor leading to excessive production of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). Excessive ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce high levels of cortisol, producing the disease state. Cushing's disease due to excess ACTH may also result in hyperpigmentation. This is due to Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone production as a byproduct of ACTH synthesis from Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC).
