Background: Ultrasensitive assays to measure pre-pubertal gonadotropins levels could help identify patients with Turner syndrome (TS) in mid-childhood, but studies in this field are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze gonadotropins levels in girls with TS throughout childhood.
Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study conducted with 15 girls with TS diagnosed with < 5 years whose FSH and LH measures were available since then.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed 408 cases of disorders of sex development (DSD) with ambiguous genitalia over a 23-year period, focusing on diagnosis, age of referral, karyotype, and sex of rearing.
- The majority of cases were 46,XY (61.3%), with common conditions including testicular DSD and ovarian DSD, while congenital adrenal hyperplasia was the leading cause.
- The average age for diagnosis was 31.7 months, with a final sex of rearing predominantly male (238 cases) and only a small percentage (6.6%) requiring sex reassignment.
Objective: To verify if the frequency of spontaneous pubertal development among girls with Turner syndrome (TS) diagnosed in infancy and childhood is greater than that of patients diagnosed later.
Subjects And Methods: Thirty three girls aged < 10 years at the time of diagnosis were evaluated regarding pubertal development. The frequency of spontaneous puberty was compared with that of girls aged > 13 years diagnosed at the same service.
Objective: To assess the proportion of papers presented at the XXI Panamerican Congress of Trauma, VIII Congress of the Brazilian Society of Integrated Assistance to the Traumatized (SBAIT) and X Brazilian Congress of Trauma Leagues (CoLT) that were published in full.
Methods: In the events cited, based in Campinas in 2008, 347 papers abstracts of were presented and published. To evaluate the proportion of complete published works a retrospective observational study was conducted, reviewing the biomedical databases PubMed and SciELO, with support from Google, from the title of the abstracts and list of authors.
