Abstract:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine system disorder that affects women of reproductive age. If not treated properly, PCOS can lead to infertility. Lack of proper treatment of PCOS may also result in medical complications such as diabetes or heart disease. The rural clinic where this project took place did not have a mandatory guideline for treatment of PCOS; therefore, no standardized method of diagnosis or treatment of PCOS existed. The purpose of this project, guided by the IOWA evidence-based practice model, was to educate providers on the evidence-based guideline for diagnosis

Abstract:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted hormonal disorder which affects 5-15% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. While classically recognised as an ovarian disorder, PCOS is associated with a variety of reproductive, endocrine and metabolic features including ovulatory dysfunction, infertility, hyperandrogenism, obesity, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The most consistently present of these is hyperandrogenism – supraphysiological levels of androgens such as testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Typically thought of as male

Abstract:

Between 10-15% of women suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), making it the most common cause of female infertility. Clinical features of PCOS include high circulating levels of ovarian androgens (T and A4), anovulation and obesity. The aetiology of this reproductive endocrinopathy is likely to be multifactorial, through the interplay of genetics, epigenetics and environmental factors. Primate research into sexual behaviour development noted that fetally androgenised monkeys developed symptoms like those of PCOS. There are now multiple animal models of PCOS using primates, sheep, rats

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is suggested to be largely due to vascular endothelial dysfunction.

Notably, both vascular and haemorheological parameters have been well-documented to improve following long-term exercise in many disease states that share similar characteristics to PCOS.

Extensive animal studies, validated by human data, support the fetal origins hypothesis of PCOS and highlight that PCOS may arise due to excess androgen exposure in fetal life.

Ziel der Untersuchungen war, zur Klärung der Ursachen einer während der letzten Jahrzehnte erhöhten Frequenz sowohl von PCOS als auch von IO beizutragen. Es war zu ermitteln, ob hormonelle Verschiebungen bei den Patienten nachweisbar und diese durch genetische und epigenetische Faktoren erklärbar sind. Ausgehend von dem Postulat, daß verminderte 21-OH- und 3beta-HSD-Aktivitäten als prädisponierende Faktoren von PCOS und IO angesehen werden, waren hormonanalytische Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung partieller 21-OH- bzw. 3beta-HSD-Defizienzen durchgeführt worden.

Abstract:

O entendimento dos mecanismos de ação hormonal envolvidos com o crescimento do pêlo são de grande relevância na área médica e podem representar novas perspectivas no tratamento para distúrbios de crescimento de pêlos. A aromatase, enzima que converte androgênios em estrogênios, é uma das enzimas-chave relacionadas com o metabolismo intra-tecidual de hormônios sexuais. O objetivo desse estudo foi determinar a expressão gênica da enzima aromatase em folículos pilosos do vértice do escalpo de mulheres com ciclos regulares e ovulatórios e em pacientes com PCOS, verificando possíveis associações co

Abstract:

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and impacts negatively on their health related quality of life (HRQoL). The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire (PCOSQ) is a disease specific questionnaire used to measure HRQOL in affected women. This questionnaire has not been validated for use in the clinical population of South Africa. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the PCOSQ in our population and to compare findings with those from the WHOQOL-BREF, a generic questionnaire that measures HRQoL. Metho

Abstract:

Abstract The polycystic ovary syndrome, described first as the association of bilateral polycystic ovaries and amenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, hirsutism and obesity, was later shown to be a complex metabolic syndrome. The first purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of hyperinsulinaemia and the severity of insulin resistance and glucose tolerance disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome by means of the oral glucose tolerance test and the euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp. The next goal was to investigate whether women with polycystic ovary syndrome would benefit from insulin-se

Abstract:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting 6-7% of the population. It is characterised by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism with the clinical manifestation of oligomenorrhoea, hirsutism and acne. A ten to twenty fold increased risk for type 2 diabetes in PCOS patients compared to weight matched female control subjects makes the syndrome of high socioeconomic importance. The use of differing diagnostic criteria makes the comparison of studies on PCOS difficult until harmonisation through the Rotterdam consensus in 2004. Despite being removed from the diagno

Abstract:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic illness that affects approximately five million premenopausal women in the United States and is associated with significant cosmetic, reproductive, metabolic, and psychological consequences. Despite its prevalence, few studies have explored the lived experiences and illness perceptions of women living with PCOS. Identifying illness perceptions of women living with (WLW) PCOS is important, because mounting research suggests that a person's perceptions of their chronic illness and its management determine that person's coping behaviors (e.g., adheren

Abstract:

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disorder in women characterised by chronic ovulatory failure, hyperandrogenaemia, and insulin resistance. Some women are completely asymptomatic and others present with extreme menstrual disturbance, severe hirsutism, infertility and recurrent miscarriage. The pathophysiology of PCOS is not completely understood, but it is thought that insulin resistance plays a central role. In normal subjects, non-diabetic obese patients and patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes, insulin resistance is associated with elevated plasminogen activato
