Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Time to Replace 17OHP with 21-Deoxycortisol
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) has a worldwide incidence of 1 in 15–20,000. Affected individuals have adrenal insufficiency and androgen excess; the androgen excess begins during fetal life ...

A link between solar events and congenital malformations: Is ionizing radiation enough to explain it? [PDF]
Cosmic rays are known to cause biological effects directly and through ionizing radiation produced by their secondaries. These effects have been detected in airline crews and other specific cases where members of the population are exposed to above average secondary fluxes.

Management of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) requires both glucocorticoid replacement and suppression of adrenal androgen synthesis. It is recommended that children with CAH be treated with hydrocortisone, but the appropriate glucocorticoid regimen

CONGENITAL ADRENAL CORTEX HYPERPLASIA IN A NEWBORN (CLINICAL CASE)
Congenital adrenal cortex hyperplasia combines a group of monogenic diseases with an autosomal recessive fashion based on defects in enzymes or transport proteins involved in adrenal steroidogenesis.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia in men: classical form. Clinical case
Recently, in the foreign scientific literature there have been reports that boys and young men with the classic virile form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia or congenital dysfunction of the adrenal cortex as a result of inadequate glucocorticoid therapy

A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity [PDF]
Consanguinity or inter-cousin marriage is a phenomenon quite prevalent in certain regions around the globe. Consanguineous parents have a higher risk of having offspring with congenital disorders. It is difficult to model large scale consanguineous parental populations because of disparate cultural issues unique to regions and cultures across the globe.

Genomic technologies and the diagnosis of 46, XY differences of sex development
Abstract Differences/disorders of sex development can be caused by disruptions to the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control development and sex determination of the reproductive organs with 1:100 live births affected. Multiple genes are associated with 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development that can cause varying clinical phenotypes ...

Background Individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) require glucocorticoid therapy to replace cortisol and to control androgen excess. We sought to evaluate the effects of glucocorticoid therapy on cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in ...

Abstract The exploration of gender differences in non‐andrological fields was the core focus of a series of discussions, which took place at the Endocrinology Unit in Modena, Italy in the form of the aporetic dialogue of ancient Greece. This second episode reports the transcript of the actual debate on testosterone's role in defining empathic behavior ...
