Socialism is an economic system, used to some degree by democracies, in which the most important means of production, as well as the means of distribution of goods and services, are owned by the state and managed for the welfare of society as a whole.
Dexamethasone is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid. These medicines are man-made versions of the corticosteroid hormones, cortisol and aldosterone, produced naturally by the adrenal glands.
Why would a doctor recommend a dexamethasone suppression test ? The test is often used when a doctor suspects that a patient has too many adrenal hormones, caused by a disorder such as Cushing's syndrome.
