Abstract

The growing prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS; the most frequent cause of anovulatory infertility) results in their growing comorbidity. To review the available data on comorbidity of type 1 diabetes mellitus and the polycystic ovary syndrome and their relations, especially in the adolescent group. The available medical databases have been searched to identify relevant bibliography; then analysis and synthesis of the available data have been conducted. At present, the prevalence of comorbid T1DM and PCOS in girls has not been established. The available data on T1DM and PCOS comorbidity in adult women suggest the need for early diagnostic investigations to detect their comorbidity and for early therapeutic interventions. Further research to investigate their coprevalence is necessary. In female adolescents, either with or without T1DM, PCOS should be diagnosed not earlier that two years after menarche or when at age of 16 menarche is still absent, with all of the three Rotterdam criteria met. In time between menarche and the end of second year of menstruation high/medium risk of PCOS can be identified. After the fourth year of menstruating, the patient should be treated as an adult...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
