This European expert consensus statement provides recommendations for the diagnosis and management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults (HypoPT), parathyroid disorders relation to pregnancy lactation. Specified areas interest unmet needs identified by experts at second ESE Educational Program Parathyroid Disorders (PARAT) 2019, were discussed during two virtual workshops 2021, subsequently developed working groups with specified areas. PHPT is a common...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To evaluate antenatal surveillance strategies and the optimal timing of delivery for monoamniotic twin pregnancies. METHODS: Obstetric perinatal outcomes were retrospectively retrieved 193 Fetal neonatal compared between fetuses followed in an inpatient setting those undergoing intensive outpatient follow-up from 26 to 28 weeks gestation until planned cesarean 32 35 gestation. The risk fetal death was with complications. RESULTS: deaths occurred 18.1% (70/386). Two...
Aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, potential risk factors and respective outcomes pregnancies with placenta praevia.Data were prospectively collected from women diagnosed praevia in 10 Austrian hospitals province Styria between 1993 2012. We analyzed praevia. Differences major (complete or partial praevia) minor (marginal low-lying placenta) evaluated.328 patients identified. The wide incidence 0.15%. Maternal morbidity high (ante-partum bleeding [42.3%], post-partum hemorrhage...
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven language models have the potential to serve as an educational tool, facilitate clinical decision-making, and support research academic writing. The benefits of their use are yet be evaluated concerns been raised regarding accuracy, transparency, ethical implications using this AI technology in publishing. At moment, Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is one most powerful widely debated models. Here, we discuss its feasibility answer...
Does the prevalence of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes vary in women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) according to different definitions? A comparison criteria revealed that there is a substantial risk for perinatal complications PCOS women, regardless used definition. Pregnant are susceptible complications. At present, three main definitions PCOS. So far, we aware only one study, which found elevated varied widely depending on phenotypes features but considered...
Vitamin D status may be associated with insulin resistance and other key features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but data from preliminary randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are conflicting. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects vitamin supplementation on plasma glucose area under curve (AUCgluc, primary outcome measure) metabolic endocrine parameters (secondary measures). This study was a single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted between December 2011...
Early bonding by skin-to-skin contact (SSC) has been demonstrated to be beneficial for mothers and newborns following vaginal delivery. The aim of this study was investigate the impact intraoperative (early SSC) after cesarean section on neonatal adaptation, maternal pain stress response.This prospective, randomized-controlled pilot performed at a single academic tertiary hospital (Department Obstetrics Gynecology, Medical University Graz, Austria) between September 2013 January 2014. Women...
Vitamin D (VD) might play an important role in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and female fertility. However, evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCT) is sparse. We examined VD effects on anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) other endocrine markers PCOS non-PCOS women. This a post hoc analysis of single-center, double-blind RCT conducted between December 2011 October 2017 at the outpatient clinic Medical University Graz, Austria. included 180 women 150 with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D)...
Single-file diffusion (SFD), prevalent in many chemical and biological processes, refers to the one-dimensional motion of interacting particles pores which are so narrow that mutual passage is excluded. Since sequence such a situation remains unaffected over time t, this leads strong deviations from normal diffusion, e.g. an increase particle mean-square-displacement as square root t. We present experimental results diffusive behaviour colloidal channels with varying density. The realized by...
It has been hypothesized that vitamin D is associated with androgen levels in men. We, therefore, aimed to evaluate whether supplementation increases serum total testosterone (TT) men low TT at baseline. The Graz Vitamin D&TT-RCT a single-center, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial conducted between March 2013 and November 2017 the endocrine outpatient clinic Medical University of Graz, Austria. One-hundred healthy < 10.4 nmol/l 25-hydroxyvitamin [25(OH)D] 75 participated...
Vitamin D might play a role in metabolic processes and obesity. We therefore examined vitamin effects on markers obesity randomized controlled trial (RCT). This is post-hoc analysis of the Graz D&TT-RCT, single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. included 200 healthy men with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH) D) levels <75 nmol/L. Subjects received 20,000 IU D3/week (n = 100) or placebo for 12 weeks. Outcome measures were markers, anthropometric measures, body composition...
Maternal metabolic factors are increasingly recognized as critical pre-conceptional determinants of fertility outcomes. To investigate how health influences female fertility, we investigated the molecular composition follicular fluid (FF), with a focus on microRNA (miRNA) expression. Blood and FF samples from 15 women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation were examined in pilot study. Clinical traits (glucometabolic markers, lipid profiles, liver function inflammatory cytokines, hormonal...

Systems biology is an approach to the analysis and prediction of dynamic behaviour biological networks through mathematical modelling based on experimental data. The current lack reliable quantitative data, especially in field signal transduction, means that new methodologies data acquisition processing are needed. Here, we present methods advance established techniques immunoprecipitation immunoblotting more accurate procedures. We propose randomisation sample loading disrupt lane...
The first description of the association between enlarged ovaries and subfertility was reported almost 300 years ago, when Vallisneri described a 'young peasant woman' who 'moderately plump, infertile, with larger than normal that, like doves' eggs, were lumpy, shiny whitish'1. more common term used to describe such – 'polycystic ovaries' not introduced until 19352 since mid-1950s associated health conditions, including subfertility, menstrual disorders hyperandrogenism3, have been referred...
Background: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are more prone to autoimmune thyroiditis, and both disorders lead subfertility pregnancy-related complications. The aim of this study was investigate whether mothers without PCOS their offspring have comparable thyroid parameters at term how associated perinatal outcome in population. Methods: This cross-sectional observational performed a single academic tertiary hospital Austria. Seventy-nine pregnant women 354 were included. Blood...
Vitamin D is well known for its effects on calcium and mineral metabolism. However, vitamin bone turnover markers (BTMs), which are used together with density (BMD) to evaluate health, less clear. We therefore examined BTMs (beta-cross laps (CTX) osteocalcin (OC)) BMD in a post-hoc analysis of randomized controlled trial (RCT). This the Graz D&TT-RCT, single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled conducted between December 2012 November 2017 at endocrine outpatient clinic Medical...

The interact via repulsive dipolar forces, induced by magnetic field applied perpendicular the planar Brownian dynamics (BD) computer simulations are employed analyse microstructure tracer-diffusion both components. profound interaction asymmetry leads unusual features in partial pair distribution functions,...
The diagnostic and therapeutic options for oviduct disorders in the mare are limited. current best techniques require exploratory surgery under general anaesthesia or flank laparotomy.The orthograde flushing of is possible using laparoscopic standing sedated mare.Development a technique catheterisation infundibulum (sterile methylene blue solution) was examined 2 experiments. first involved transvaginal approach, second approach.
