Case Report: Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism in an elite athlete with variant in FSH receptor gene—clinical and sports implications of proper diagnosis

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism is usually caused by the impairment of the structure and function of the gonads, but there are cases caused by reduced stimulation by the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as a result of abnormal variants of genes encoding

Toxic Effects of Bisphenol A and Its Analogs on Ovarian Structure and Function: A Narrative Review of Ovary‐Focused Studies

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used industrial chemical found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins and is recognized for its endocrine‐disrupting properties. Human exposure is common due to its presence in food packaging and everyday products. As BPA use has been restricted, structurally similar compounds such as BPS, BPB, BPAF, and BADGE

Assessing Metabolic and Reproductive Consequences of Prenatal Paracetamol Exposure in Female CD1 Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paracetamol is a widely used analgesic during pregnancy; however, emerging evidence suggests it may act as an endocrine/metabolism disrupting compound. Using an F1 female CD1 mouse model, this study scrutinized the long‐term metabolic and reproductive consequences linked to intrauterine paracetamol exposure.

Potential Neuroendocrine Disruption by Benzodiazepines and Its Impact on Male Fertility

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroactive substances have emerged as potent endocrine disruptors affecting male reproductive health through central and peripheral mechanisms. Among these, benzodiazepines, which are widely used for the management of anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, and neuromuscular disorders, are known as GABA A (gamma‐aminobutyric acid type A) receptor ...

Spontaneous Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome with FSH Receptor Gene Mutation: Two Rare Case Reports

Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2018
Development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is very rare in a spontaneous ovulatory cycle and it is usually seen during pregnancy. In the etiology of OHSS, higher hCG (molar pregnancies or multiple pregnancies) and thyroid-stimulating hormone

When the Number Matters: Contextualising Australian Reference Values for 99ᵐTc‐Pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Are the historical 1%–4% thyroid uptake reference values still valid in modern practice? This editorial examines why contemporary Australian and international data suggest otherwise and situates the new reference range reported by Wornes (https://doi.org/10.1002/jmrs.70078) and colleagues within the broader international literature.

Gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation affect therapeutic outcomes in patients with acne vulgaris

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background We hypothesized that acne vulgaris (AV) and gingivitis were associated through systemic inflammatory mechanisms, sharing common etiological factors. This study aimed to identify the association between AV and gingivitis and to assess changes in acne severity in relation to changes in the plaque index (PI).
