Objective: Determine reference values for testosterone in women.
Design And Methods: 18-40 Year-old women with regular menses or using oral contraception were assessed by questionnaire and blood sample.
Results: In 155 women, reference values were different between women with and without hyperandrogenism for total testosterone (0.48-3.42 vs. 0.54-2.72 nmol/L) and calculated free (3-65 vs. 3-39 pmol/L) and bioavailable (0.06-1.35 vs. 0.06-0.81 nmol/L) testosterone.
Conclusion: Upper reference values for testosterone in women must be established from a well-characterized population.

Objective: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a novel orthopedic technique. The workflow of robotic-assisted TKA is quite different from that of traditional manual TKA and may result incompletely different resection parameters. Understanding these parameters may help surgeons better perform robotic-assisted TKA.

Department of Tropical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Egypt.
Aim Of The Study: To assess the serum level of Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer as a potential biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhotic patients.
Material And Methods: Ninety patients were separated into two groups for the current research. Group I consisted of 45 patients with HCV that resulted in liver cirrhosis but no HCC.

Background: The choice of treatment for subcondylar fractures in children and adolescents remains a controversial issue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the treatment modality of subcondylar fractures and functional outcomes at the six-month follow-up.
Methods: This retrospective study examined a cohort of children and adolescents with unilateral or bilateral subcondylar fractures treated at a level 1 trauma center over a five-year period.
