Objective: To study pregnancy outcomes and complications in women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted at tertiary reference centers in 5 countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, Sweden, USA), including 72 adult women with CAH (nonclassic [NC] n = 34, simple virilizing [SV] n = 21, salt wasting [SW] n = 17).
Results: A total of 133 pregnancies, 112 live births, and 25 abortions were documented.
Article Synopsis
- Subfertility is common in men with classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), and a study tracked the long-term gonadal function of 27 men over a median of 12 years.
- testosterone levels were found to be below the normal range for a significant number of participants, with those having testicular adrenal rest tissue (TART) showing initially higher testosterone levels and a greater increase over time compared to those without TART.
- The results indicate that while testosterone levels are generally low in these men, they do not change much over time; hence, regular screening for TART isn't recommended, but monitoring Sertoli cell function is suggested for men with larger TART.
Background & Aims: Noninvasive variceal risk stratification systems have not been validated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which presents logistical barriers for patients in the setting of systemic HCC therapy. We aimed to develop and validate a noninvasive algorithm for the prediction of varices in patients with unresectable HCC.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study in 21 centers in the United States including adult patients with unresectable HCC and Child-Pugh A5-B7 cirrhosis diagnosed between 2007 and 2019.
Body image flexibility and inflexibility are alternative ways of responding to body image threats. Affect regulation offers a framework for understanding how these responses impact health outcomes; however, research in young people is limited. This prospective study tested two potential affect regulation functions in adolescents and emerging adults (N = 351, 66.
