A guide to host genetic determinants of female microbiome composition across distinct anatomical niches

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Host genetic variation in immune regulation and cell signalling genes was associated with microbiome composition across vaginal, gut, oral and skin sites, while associations involving metabolic function, epithelial barrier integrity and hormonal processes were more site‐specific. Overall, our findings indicate that host genetic variation contributes to

Enhancing the Evidence for Care in Underserved Bleeding Disorders Communities

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Major advances in haemophilia care have not translated equitably across all populations. Individuals with rare bleeding disorders (RBDs), people living in low‐ and lower‐middle‐income countries (LMICs) and women and girls with inherited bleeding disorders (WGWBD) continue to face significant diagnostic, therapeutic and research ...

Menarcheal age of blind girls: Menarcheal age in blind

Annals of Medical Physiology, 2018
Menarche is a developmental milestone. Age at which menarche is attained is highly variable and highly sensitive to a variety of internal and external forces like climatic conditions, physical and mental factors, nutrition and socio-economic status. Exposure to light and other visual cues may influence the pubertal changes.

Rare Bleeding Disorders and Bleeding Disorder of Unknown Cause: Current Understanding and Recent Developments

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) represent a diverse group of inherited conditions involving coagulation factors or platelets. These conditions, such as Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) or severe coagulation factor deficiencies, are uncommon. In contrast, bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC) is a diagnosis of exclusion without an identifiable ...

The age of menarche in Nigerian girls

Annals of Human Biology, 1976
The median ages at menarche were obtained from a sample of 2029 urban and 328 rural Nigerian girls by the status quo method, and calculated by probits. The median age at menarche for the urban girls was 13-70 +/- 0-03 years whilst it was 14-50 +/- 0-09 years for the rural girls.

, 2013
Age of menarche, or the timing of first menses in girls, is a physiological trait that shows substantial genetic heritability. Earlier age of menarche is associated with increased childhood adiposity and with adult risk of obesity and cardiovascular ...

Living With Factor VII Deficiency—A Mixed Methods Study

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Factor VII deficiency (FVIID) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, resulting in potentially unpredictable and life‐threatening bleeding. The prevalence of symptomatic patients is 1 in 300,000. Treatment is mostly given following bleeding, but those with the lowest levels may be offered prophylaxis.
