Background: Female renal transplant recipients (RTR) are at high risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related anogenital premalignancies and cancer. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of cervical intraepithelial lesions (IL) and HPV infection, and their associated factors, in Mexican RTR.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study conducted between January 2011 and December 2017.
Article Synopsis
- A novel missense mutation (I423T) in the FSH receptor (FSHR) was found in a woman experiencing primary ovarian failure, affecting hormone signaling.
- *The study analyzed how this mutation impacts receptor function compared to another known mutation (D408Y), revealing significant differences in receptor expression and signaling pathways.
- *Results suggest that the I423T mutation leads to impaired signaling while allowing some receptor activity, whereas the D408Y mutation severely disrupts receptor expression and function, highlighting the importance of receptor conformations.*
The Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use of the World Health Organization have been updated recently. These criteria constitute a guideline for the selection of family planning methods appropriated for women and men with known medical conditions or personal characteristics of medical relevance. The guidelines last updating incorporates recommendations for the use of a new emergency contraceptive pill and three long-acting hormonal methods, and revises some previously established recommendations.

Methods: Cross-sectional study including consecutive SLE women <60 years of age attending a rheumatology clinic. A face-to-face interview was undertaken to obtain demographic, gynaecological and lupus characteristics.
Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the age at natural menopause in women with SLE.
Methods: One thousand and thirty-nine consecutive SLE patients <60 years of age were surveyed. Demographic and clinical data were queried by a single investigator.
