Most women with Turner syndrome (TS) are infertile due to primary ovarian failure. However, approximately 5% experience spontaneous pregnancy, and recently, more women with TS have used assisted reproductive technology with donated oocytes (ART-OD) to become pregnant. The first generation of Turner patients undergoing ART-OD demonstrated a high rate of fatal aortic dissection in late pregnancy or postpartum. More recent observations, particularly from Nordic countries, suggest a lesser risk of dissection, but confirm a high rate of pre-eclampsia in ART-OD pregnancies. This article reviews publications since 2000 concerning maternal outcomes for pregnancies in women with TS to determine if specific risk factors such as type of pregnancy, age, or presence of underlying congenital cardiovascular disease may identify women at special risk.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability globally. Advances in clinical care have improved survival rates, leading to a growing population living with long-term effects of TBI, which can impact physical, cognitive, and emotional health. These effects often require continuous management and individualized care.

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of several individual sleep traits have identified hundreds of genetic loci, suggesting diverse mechanisms. Moreover, sleep traits are moderately correlated, so together may provide a more complete picture of sleep health, while illuminating distinct domains. Here we construct novel sleep health scores (SHSs) incorporating five core self-report measures: sleep duration, insomnia symptoms, chronotype, snoring, and daytime sleepiness, using additive (SHS-ADD) and five principal components-based (SHS-PCs) approaches.
