INTRODUCTION: Nutritional status assessment in anorexia nervosa (AN) includes the evaluation and monitoring of body composition throughout the treatment period. The gold standard for the study of body composition is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), although electrical bioimpedance (BIA) is a more accessible, cheaper and faster method that does not involve exposure to radiation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We recruited 33 female adolescents with AN (age, 11.7-16...

Objectives: To describe a case of ovarian failure secondary to a homozygous pathogenic variant in the STAG3 gene not previously reported. Materials and Methods: A 16-year-old patient with primary amenorrhea and absence of secondary sexual characteristics, with documented autoimmune hypothyroidism, poor genital and gonadal streak development which prompted the performance of clinical exome sequencing. A homozygous pathogenic variant not previously reported in the STAG3 gene, which has been associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), was identified...

AIM: 17α-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and is caused by mutations in the CYP17A1 gene. The main clinical findings are delayed puberty and primary amenorrhea in girls, and disorders of sex development in boys. It can also cause hypertension and hypokalemia in both genders. In this study, we aimed to present the clinical, laboratory and genetic results of 13 patients from eight different families who were diagnosed with complete 17α-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
G A D Miggiano, T Petitti
136 patients were selected (16 men and 120 women with non-specific menstrual disturbances) with a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 25 and 45 kg/m2, which were diagnosed with "disendocrinia" (GH deficit, hyperadrenocorticism, hypothyroidsm, hyperandrogenism, menstrual cycle disorders). The proposed approach, based on the visualization of the value distribution of the electric measures in different graphics, is able to immediately explain the bioelectric state of the individual's lean-mass. Subjects with hypothyroidism present, along with their overweight, less bio-conducting mass, with an altered fluid intra/extra-cellular distribution...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
I Hernández, R Cervera-Aguilar, M D Vergara, A R Ayala
Studies performed upon american and european population indicate that secondary amenorrhea is associated to 3 months without menses, despite biases observed in age variation and intervals of apparition; nonetheless a 3 month lapse is the standard of reference to quality patients within mexican females. Hence, we investigated the prevalence of secondary amenorrhea among all females (n = 1099) that consulted in our clinic, grouped by age (15-50 yrs), time (months) of amenorrea and identifying the etiology when possible...

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare entity, which has been classified as primary or secondary by Studiford criteria. A retrospective study, between January 1989 and December 1994, realized at Instituto Nacional de Perinatología, found 35,080 pregnancies, from which 149 happened to be ectopic, and 6 of them were abdominal. All patients belonged to a low income society class, age between 24 and 35 years, and average of gestations in 2.6. Gestational age varied from 15 weeks to 32.2 weeks having only one delivery at term with satisfactory postnatal evolution...

Evidence that leptin plays an important role in reproductive function is accumulating rapidly. We hypothesized that low leptin synthesis is associated with amenorrhea. We therefore determined serum leptin levels in 43 underweight female students, who were screened for lifetime occurrence of amenorrhea. We assessed the predictive value of leptin, body mass index (BMI), fat mass and percent body fat, respectively, for lifetime occurrence of amenorrea. Factors predicting amenorrhea were tested for their capability to predict current amenorrhea in a second cohort of 63 inpatients with anorexia nervosa (AN) or bulimia nervosa (BN)...

Lethal osteogenesis imperfecta was diagnosed at 27 weeks amenorrea in one fetus of a bichorial twin pregnancy. Sonographic findings included: short-limb dwarfism, hypotrophy and hypoechoic bones. The affected fetus was so translucent that only the normal fetus could be seen on plain in utero radiography. The affected fetus died immediately after birth. Postmortem radiography and histology were typical of lethal osteogenesis imperfecta of type IIA. Aids to the etiological diagnosis of in utero dwarfism are presented...
