OBJECTIVE
To further characterize hypothyroidemia with decreased serum concentrations of total triiodothyronine and total T4 in women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea.
METHODS
Cohort study.
METHODS
University of California San Diego Clinical Research Center.
METHODS
8 women with functional
OBJECTIVE
To characterize ovarian failure and prolonged amenorrhea from other causes in women who are both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive and seronegative.
METHODS
This was a cohort study nested in the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a multicenter U.S. study of HIV infection in
The authors describe a case of iatrogenic hyperstimulation of the ovary with ascites in a patient with primary amenorrhea and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. They present the results of total urinary estrogen assays stressing the advisability of a technical check in the presence of an apparently
The levels of serum proteins and immunoglobulins were determined in five cases of Turner's syndrome, in five secondary amenorrheic patients who responded to progesterone, and in five healthy women as controls. Compared with the controls, the patients with secondary amenorrhea showed significantly
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). As a standard treatment regimen for remission induction of proliferative LN, intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVCYC) and corticosteroids has been widely accepted. However, cyclophosphamide (CYC) is
OBJECTIVE
To review our experience with low dose intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide in the treatment of patients with severe connective tissue diseases.
METHODS
Ninety patients (68F:22M) with severe connective tissue diseases received a total of 883 cyclophosphamide pulses with 78 of 90 patients
BACKGROUND
Tacrolimus is a relatively new calcineurin inhibitor that has been increasingly used in transplant medicine. The objective of the current work is to report our preliminary experience with tacrolimus in the treatment of diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis in systemic lupus
During a recent outbreak of Rhodesian sleeping sickness in the Lambwe Valley no asymptomatic Rhodesian sleeping sickness patients were found although 54% of the primary patients had mild symptoms and 9% were stuporous or comatose at presentation. The duration of symptoms was three months or less in
A better understanding of the prognostic factors of low bone mass in anorexia nervosa (AN) and development of effective therapeutic strategies is critical. In order to determine which clinical, biochemical, and/or hormonal parameters could be related to bone mineral density (BMD), 47 female AN
BACKGROUND
Small intensive pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of medications in early-phase trials cannot identify the range of factors that influence drug exposure in heterogenous populations. We performed PK studies in large numbers of HIV-infected women on nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
We measured the concentrations of protein in electrophoretic fractions (albumin and alpha1-, alpha2-, beta, and gamma-globulins) of serum from 9547 white women to determine their relations to age, weight, smoking and other factors. Albumin concentration decreases with age, beta globulin
The optimal therapy for pure membranous lupus nephritis (MLN) with nephrotic syndrome remains controversial. While the risk of progressive renal deterioration may be small, persistent heavy proteinuria leads to the complications of oedema, hypoalbuminaemia, hyperlipidaemia, hypercoagulability, and
A comprehensive analysis is reported in 376 healthy middle and old-age persons, including measurements of bone mineral content (BMC) of the mid-radias, pituitary sex hormones (RIA), serum calcium, phosphate, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, urinary calcium, phosphate, hydroxyproline (BCA), daily
New potent and selective KISS1R agonists were designed using a combination of rational chemical modifications of the endogenous neuropeptide kisspeptin 10 (KP10). Improved resistance to degradation and presumably reduced renal clearance were obtained by introducing a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole
BACKGROUND
The influence of the Bsm1 polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene on mineral and bone disorders in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still under discussion. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between VDR polymorphism, bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical bone
