Context: Turner syndrome (TS) is a rare genetic syndrome with an increased mortality, mainly attributed to cardiovascular disease.
Objective: This work aimed to investigate and correlate the lipid profile in adult women with TS to clinical characteristics.
Methods: A 12-year prospective cohort study, including 4 study visits, was conducted at a specialist hospital.
Background: The diagnostic efficacy regarding prostate cancer (PC) detection by manually operated in-bore magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) targeted prostate biopsy (MO-MRGB) versus robot-assisted in-bore MRI targeted prostate biopsy (RA-MRGB) is lacking evidence.
Objective: We hypothesized that the detection rates (DRs) for PC of MO-MRGB and RA-MRGB were similar and aimed to compare these.
Design Setting And Participants: We prospectively included all patients who received in-bore MRI targeted prostate biopsy (MRGB) of the prostate in the Central Denmark Region from August 2014 to February 2020.
Turner syndrome (TS) is a condition in females missing the second sex chromosome (45,X) or parts thereof. It is considered a rare genetic condition and is associated with a wide range of clinical stigmata, such as short stature, ovarian dysgenesis, delayed puberty and infertility, congenital malformations, endocrine disorders, including a range of autoimmune conditions and type 2 diabetes, and neurocognitive deficits. Morbidity and mortality are clearly increased compared with the general population and the average age at diagnosis is quite delayed.

- Current practices for managing adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) in Europe vary significantly and do not always align with established guidelines.
- A survey involving 28 centers from 17 countries revealed that most AGHD patients have non-functioning pituitary adenomas and that GH diagnosis often requires stimulation tests.
- There is insufficient knowledge about AGHD among healthcare professionals outside of endocrinology, and improvements in education and coverage for GH treatment are necessary to enhance patient care.
Turner syndrome is caused by complete or partial X monosomy in some or all cells. Cardiovascular complications are dominant, including increased blood pressure (BP), leading to early-onset hypertension. The aim is to describe the debut, development, and treatment of hypertension in Turner syndrome during a 12-year pragmatic interventional study to help identify risk factors associated with hypertension.
