Pubertal induction amongst girls with Turner Syndrome: oral vs patch oestrogen over the last 16 years.

Lloyd-Jones Eleanor , Abdullahi Elechi Hassan , Sachdev Pooja , Law James

Background: Pubertal induction with incremental doses of oestrogen replacement is an important component of care offered to hypogonadal patients with Turner Syndrome (TS). Low dose oral ethinylestradiol (EE) has been extensively used in the UK but natural 17-β oestradiol (more physiological, cheaper and easily monitored in blood) is becoming increasingly popular. We undertook this updated review, following on from previous work, to compare the efficacy an...

Introduction: Neonatal thyrotoxicosis (NT) is rare but potentially life-threatening condition with high mortality risk due to cardiac failure(12-20%). Affected neonates are born to mothers with underlying thyroid pathology. Estimated prevalence of trans-placental transfer of thyroid antibodies occurs 1 in every 70 pregnancies with Graves’ disease. Symptoms in the neonate usually manifest by 10 days of life but this can be as late as day 45. We discuss tw...

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a key component of the body's defence against cold challenge and possesses the ability to convert large amounts of chemical energy to heat, conferred by a unique protein, uncoupling protein (UCP)-1, diverting mitochondrial respiration from the production of adenosine triphosphate. In humans, the largest BAT depot is in the supraclavicular region. Sympathetic nervous system stimulation induces glucose uptake into brown adipose tissue, as does i...

Turners Syndrome - Clinical Presentation, Genetics, Investigation and Management: A 10-Year Review

Elechi Hassan Abdullahi , Law James , Alexander Jacqui , Denvir Loiuse , Randell Tabitha , Sachdev Pooja

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is characterised by a wide phenotype and age at presentation. We reviewed our over-12s Turner clinic over a period of 10 years to evaluate pattern of diagnosis, co-morbidities and management.Subjects & Method: Retrospective data analysis of patients with TS who attended the over-12s clinic (2008-2017, n=28). Data is median (IQR) or mean±SD as appropriate.<p class...
