Summary Several observational studies have showed a combination of lower testosterone (T) to LH ratio and higher estradiol (E 2 ) T in secretory infertile men compared with normal spermatogenesis, suggesting steroidogenic dysfunction Leydig cells (Lc) that may involve increased aromatase activity. Low T/ is associated Lc hyperplasia, which together hyperstimulation represent compensation for impaired production. Aromatase expression oestrogen production are mainly detected the testis,...
Childhood trauma has been associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, research not yet provided conclusive evidence concerning the mediating mechanisms.Seventy women diagnosed BPD were compared other 60 who met DSM-IV criteria for disorders on measures of childhood and attachment.Patients reported higher severity emotional, physical sexual abuse than patients disorders. Moreover, also showed greater preoccupied-anxious adult attachment. At model 1, logistic regression...
Are copy number variations (CNVs) in the pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) frequent subjects with Y-chromosome microdeletions and can they lead to abnormal stature and/or neuropsychiatric disorders? Only diagnosed azoospermia factor (AZF)b+c deletions spanning end of Y chromosome (i.e. terminal deletions) harbor isochromosomes cells 45,X that gene CNVs, which were associated disorders. The long arm (Yq) include loss one three AZF regions, referred as Yq microdeletions, constitute most important...
Over half of women with psychosis are mothers. Research suggests that mothers face unique challenges affecting both their mental health prognosis and relationship children.

Although they modular, rapidly produced, and can reduce disease severity, the currently available restricted in preventing infection, stressing global demand novel preventive vaccine technologies. Bearing this mind, we set out to develop a flexible nanovaccine platform nasal administration induce mucosal immunity, which is fundamental optimal...
Most patients with anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis present acute psychosis which is difficult to differentiate from psychotic episodes related a primarily psychiatric disease. A precise description of the phenotype this disease would greatly facilitate early diagnosis these patients. We provide here detailed three and similarity clinical features cycloid psychosis. All met Perris Brockington's criteria for in initial phase autoimmune process, including among other an polysymptomatic...
Is the expression of steroidogenic enzyme 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-Lyase (CYP17A1) down-regulated in Leydig cells (LCs) men with spermatogenic failure and compensated impairment LC function, i.e. a low testosterone to LH (T/LH) ratio?Although transcriptional CYP17A1 is increased, its protein decreased, isolated LCs reduced serum T/LH.Primary defects have been associated functional morphological abnormalities LCs, characterized by decreased (T) levels, T/LH, increased 17β-estradiol (E2) E2/T...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe mental characterized by emotional crises.
