Cushing’s Syndrome is an endocrine disease that occurs due to biological alterations caused by an excessive increase in cortisol in the dog’s body. It usually occurs between the ages of 6 and 10, but scientific evidence and the desire to think outside the box turned the way in which the disease is known. And with it a breakthrough in the veterinary Medicine.
MV Santiago Teyssandier in the company of Dr. Elber Soler Arias from Argentina and MV Hans Kooistra and Sara Galac from the Netherlands generated the first complete official report of ACTH-dependent Cushing’s Syndrome in a puppy secondary to crooke cell pituitary neoplasm; a subtype of pituitary tumors with highly invasive features.
From TO MOTIVATE We talked to Teyssandier to tell us regarding the process and what is the importance of obtaining this result. “Unfortunately, this pathology also happens in puppies; and the fact of being able to recognize it will give us future opportunities to treat it and improve their quality of life and survival”, Santiago told us. And it is there where Teyssandier emphasizes the importance of teamwork to achieve better results for the veterinary Medicine.
“Teamwork is key. The growth of science is in a team, I am 100% sure. One can do everything. As much as I saw the case, attended to it and thought regarding it, I always need a team that can think of other approaches and help me reflect on different alternatives”.

Finally, the important thing is to contribute to science while providing quality of life to patients.

“Motivation is an important word in our professional development”
In addition, we wanted to ask the MV regarding his motivations for carrying out the research, since as is known while he is carrying out his professional practice, he has little time to investigate. According to Teyssandier, it is something that has always motivated him, his interest in understanding cases from clinical research without dismissing data has allowed him to find patterns to reach conclusions. “Sometimes one collects data and generates valuable conclusions, such as detecting that diabetic patients respond better to this or that insulin, for example,” he stated.
Santiago is MV from the University of El Salvador, Buenos Aires, graduated in 2011. He worked at the Mark Petersen Veterinary Clinic in the United States and is currently a Professor of Small Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic, Professor of Oriented Final Practice and Director of the Course of Postgraduate: Endocrinology in the daily clinic, also at Usal.
Finally, the MV clarified what makes this scientific publication relevant for him due to the intrinsic value of “being able to contribute something and because research can be done in Argentina”. In addition, he pointed out that this work is innovative because it leaves the research scheme and the result itself is also innovative. Also the importance of diagnosing patients no matter how complex and different the result may seem. And he concluded by saying that this work is a motivation to continue training, learning and researching. “Motivation is an important word in our professional development,” he concluded.
