A complex clinical-hormonal examination was conducted in 140 women most of whom suffered from habitual abortion and hyperandrogenicity (HA). Based on the clinical findings, determination of the basal hormone level, and functional tests the patients were divided into 3 groups: 1) patients with predominantly adrenal HA (30 per cent); 2) patients with mainly ovarian HA (12.1 per cent), and 3) patients with an abnormally high level of androgens of ovarian-adrenal origin (57.9 per cent). The peculiarities of the clinical and hormonal parameters in patients of the three groups as well as the pathogenetic therapy aimed at preparation for pregnancy prolongation to term and birth of a viable neonate.

Globally, there is an unmet need for a non-invasive, cost-effective test.

We sought to understand which factors influence Australian clinicians' use of shave biopsy for managing thin lesions suspicious of melanoma in sites of low cosmetic sensitivity.
Methods: We used a convergent, exploratory mixed-methods design, with a cross-sectional online survey (n = 59) and semi-structured qualitative interviews (n = 15).
