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.
Cushing's syndrome is caused by either excessive cortisol-like medication such as prednisone or a tumor that either produces, or results in the production of excessive cortisol by the adrenal glands. Cases due to a pituitary adenoma are known as Cushing's disease.It is the second most common cause of Cushing's syndrome after medication. A number of other tumors may also cause Cushing's.ost Cushing's syndrome cases are caused by corticosteroid medications (iatrogenic), such as those used for asthma, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. Consequently, most patients are effectively treated by carefully tapering off (and eventually stopping) the medication that causes the symptoms.
