Unlabelled: Congenital somato-sexual disturbances include wide range of classic syndromes, as well as different types of numerous or isolated developmental defects. 28 women with disorders of sexual development were clinically and cytogenetically analyzed.
Aim: Clinical and cytogenetic evaluation of patients with disorders of somato-sexual development.
Material And Methods: 28 women, 17-35 years old, were included in the study. Analysis data were performed on the basis of clinical records from Department of Obstetrics and Woman's Diseases of Medical University in Bydgoszczy. Cytogenetic investigations were carried out on standard lymphocyte culture method.
Results: Turner's syndrome was found in 12 women; 45, X in 7 mosaic karyotype 45, X/46, XX in 4, isochromosome i(Xq) in 1.3 women had normal, male karyotype, 46, XY. One of them had dysgenetic gonads of malignant dysplesia transformation. One patient's karyotype was 47, XXX. 12 women with gonadal dysgenesis--karyotype 46, XX.
Conclusions: 1. Patients with congenital disorders of somato-sexual development are a heterogenous group. 2. Laparoscopy an effective diagnostic and treatment method in women with disorders of congenital somato-sexual development.

Metabolic and endocrine basis of the growth retardation in sickle cell disease.
Bull Eur Physiopathol Respir
December 1983
Preliminary findings related to possible mechanisms causing somato-sexual growth retardation in sickle-cell disease are reported. The studies indicate that important factors are: a) negative nitrogen balance which is attributable to either poor intestinal supply of nitrogen and/or impaired utilization of nitrogen; b) inadequate circulating testosterone and human growth hormone especially during adolescence; c) increased basal metabolic rate, in the presence of normal thyroid function. Further investigation is required to elucidate the relative importance of these factors.
