Article Synopsis
- Veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a serious complication following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), with a significant need for identifying high-risk patients prior to the procedure.
- A study of 252 patients found that higher serum autotaxin (ATX) levels before conditioning were linked to an increased incidence of VOD/SOS, showing that patients with elevated ATX had a 22.7% incidence compared to just 3.5% in those with normal levels.
- Elevated baseline ATX was determined to be an independent risk factor for VOD/SOS, indicating its potential as a valuable predictive marker for assessing risk in patients undergoing allo
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the endocrine differences among polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes in Japanese women.
Methods: 118 Japanese women that we diagnosed with PCOS agreed to be included in the study. The study group was classified into the following 4 phenotypes: (A) hyperandrogenism (HA); ovulatory disorder (OvD) and polycystic ovary morphology (PCOM); (B) HA and OvD; (C) HA and PCOM; and (D) OvD and PCOM.
