Immunity to Haemophilus influenzae B and Peumococcal vaccination among adult women with Turner Syndrome

Bukowczan Jakub , Liew Aaron , Roberts Graham , Spickett Gavin , Quinton Richard

Introduction: Turner Syndrome (TS) is associated with a higher overall morbidity and mortality than the general population, with respiratory diseases as one of the major causes. Haemophilus influenza type B (HiB) and pneumococcal (PC) vaccination can reduce morbidity and mortality, by alleviating the risk of respiratory diseases. All patients in the Newcastle Adult Turner Syndrome clinic who lack immunity to either HiB or PC at baseline receive vaccination in our TS clinic. Ho...

Context: Adipsin, a protein secreted mainly from the adipose tissue, is a structural homologous of complement factor D, a rate-limiting enzyme of the alternative complement system. Growing evidence suggests that the alternative complement system plays a role both in the regulation of energy homeostasis and the atherosclerotic process. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an inflammatory based-metabolic disease.Objective: To ascertain whether circulating a...

Introduction: A link between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been recently demonstrated. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is multifactorial, but obesity and insulin resistance (IR) appear to be important contributing factors. The aim of this study was to analyze level of transaminazes in PCOS women, and its relation to the indices of IR.Methods: We analyzed 600 women with PCOS diagnosed using ESHRE/ASRM criteria...

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is highly prevalent in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), possibly due to premenarchal exogenous hyperinsulinism (supraphysiological doses and nonphysiologic route of insulin administration). Our aim was to determine if PCOS was related to daily or basal insulin dose or T1DM duration.Methods: We examined 47 women with T1DM (mean age 36.02 years, ±6.03) treated with continuous subcutaneous insul...
