The Leydig Steroid Cell Tumor in a Postmenopausal Woman with Clinical and Biochemical Hyperandrogenism: A Case Report.

Leydig cell tumors (LCTs) refer to tumors of the stroma of the genital strand, which are found mainly in postmenopausal women. The diagnosis of LCTs in postmenopausal women is associated with specific difficulties and is based on the identification of hyperandrogenism with clinical manifestations of virilization, which has an erased picture in postmenopausal women. LCTs require differential diagnosis with other causes of hyperandrogenism.

PCOS Phenotype in Unselected Populations Study (P-PUP): Protocol for a Systematic Review and Defining PCOS Diagnostic Features with Pooled Individual Participant Data.

The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remains challenging due to limited data regarding normative cut-offs for the diagnostic features in different subpopulations. We aim to conduct a systematic review, build a comprehensive repository of de-identified individual participant data (IPD), and define normative ranges and diagnostic cut-offs for all PCOS diagnostic features. We will conduct a systematic search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases for studies that assessed PCOS diagnostic features in unselected women.

Comparison of two levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding: a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system Donasert (also known as Levosert) compared with the reference product Mirena for the alleviation of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB).

Materials And Methods: A phase 3 multicentre, non-inferiority, active-controlled study in non-menopausal women with HMB (menstrual blood loss [MBL] ≥ 80 mL) as the primary symptom randomised to either Donasert or Mirena and followed for 6 months. MBL was evaluated using a validated, modified version of the Wyatt pictogram.

Criteria, phenotypes and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is known as one of the most frequent endocrine diseases in women worldwide. However, this term does not completely capture the diversity of clinical signs associated with this syndrome e.g.

Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection in girls with type 1 diabetes mellitus during reproductive system development.

Background And Objective: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is found worldwide and is regarded as one of the main risks to human health. The objective of this study was to determine the state of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and antioxidant protection in girls with T1D type considering the stages of reproductive system development.

Materials And Methods: This study enrolled 56 young girls with T1D and 60 healthy girls (control) matched by age.
