Clinical Applications of Anti-Müllerian Hormone as a Biomarker in Reproductive Medicine

17 Mar 2020 by

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was initially recognized as the factor that determines regression of the Müllerian duct in the male foetus and hence plays an important role in male sex differentiation. Production of AMH in adult women was first reported in 1990.¹ In the past two decades, its role in female ovarian function and the clinical utilities of serum AMH level has been increasingly studied.

16 Mar 2020

Postmenopausal women are likely to have slightly higher depressive symptoms relative to their premenopausal counterparts, although the association between menopause and mental well-being varies with the level of physical activity (PA), a study has shown.

Neonatal Hypoglycaemia – What’s Known and What’s New

12 Mar 2020 by

Hypoglycaemia is one of the most common clinical issues facing newborn babies. It can be caused by abnormalities in the glycogen stores, alternative substrates, and/or functioning enzymes. The definition of neonatal hypoglycaemia itself remains challenging. Understanding normal glucose physiology and biochemistry is important so that the neonatologist can initiate appropriate investigations to elucidate an aetiology and institute correct management. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of hypoglycaemia will reduce the risk of brain injury to the developing child.

Certain hormonal, reproductive factors affect late-life cognitive function in women

10 Mar 2020 by

Women with shorter reproductive years and higher parity are at much greater risk of cognitive impairment in late life, although use of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may mitigate this risk, according to a study from Singapore.

Early laser surgery not linked to preterm delivery, reduced neonatal survival in TTTS

08 Mar 2020

Laser surgery for twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) before 18 weeks of gestation does not appear to result in preterm delivery, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) or reduced neonatal survival as compared with operation at or after 18 weeks, a cohort study has shown.
