7.4. Unstimulated luteinizing hormone for assessment of suppression during treatment of central precocious puberty with 6-month subcutaneous leuprolide acetate: correlations with clinical response

KO Klein , BS Miller , N Mauras

Brief Summary: This prospective study of 62 children with Central Precocious Puberty (CPP) concluded that measuring unstimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) may be adequate to assess effective pubertal suppression.Pubertal stages, growth velocity and bone age maturation are considered as key clinical markers to evaluate adequate pubertal suppression in patients treated for CPP. Basal LH concentrations levels also seem to be effective1. This study...

To read the full abstract: Science 2017:eaao1807Consanguinity is common in some modern cultures. This study examined the question whether ancient humans, who often had limited choices of mates, bred among close relatives. Here, Sikora et al. report genome sequences from 4 early humans buried close together in western Russia about 34,000 years ago. The individuals ...

Brief summary: This 12-months randomized, controlled, phase 3 study compared the efficacy and safety of once-weekly Somatrogon 0.66 mg/kg/week with once-daily somatropin in prepubertal children with GHD. The efficacy of once-weekly Somatrogon was noninferior to once-daily somatropin, with similar safety and tolerability profiles.Somatrogon (MOD-4023) is a long-acting rhGH recently approved by the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of children wi...

Brief Summary: This prospective cohort study of 146 mother-neonate pairs determined fetal-maternal exposure to EDCs from October 2021 – October 2022 and examined their associations with fetal growth parameters. Fetal exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA) showed a linear association with asymmetric fetal growth patterns.Their definition of fetal growth restriction (FGR) when assessed by transabdominal ultrasonography at 38.3 weeks gestational age was a fetal...
