摘要:

Several recently published randomized trials have demonstrated that a substantial proportion of the mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 can be prevented by antiretroviral therapy late in gestation and at delivery to mother and infant. The cost implications of these findings are considerable for resource-poor settings. Preliminary data also suggest very low rates of transmission among mothers receiving maximally suppressive combination drug regimens. Prophylactic cesarean delivery has also been shown to reduce transmission in women not receiving antiretroviral agents, and may play a role in selected patients. The avoidance of breast feeding with infant formula supplementation is clearly protective against HIV-1 transmission, but may not improve infant survival in some poorer settings because of associated increases in other infectious diseases and malnutrition.

摘要:

This review provides updated information relating to the timing of pubertal onset from a large study of girls seen in pediatric practices. In addition, new studies investigating the relationship of the hormone leptin to the onset of puberty are discussed, as well as new information on the neuroendocrine control of pubertal regulation. A provocative study documenting poor mental health, more behavior problems, and lower IQ in children with premature adrenarche when compared with controls raises the question of whether psychological stress triggers premature adrenarche or whether the early increase in adrenal hormone secretion causes psychosocial problems. Finally, significant advances in the management of central precocious puberty in girls have been made over the past year.

摘要:

This report critically reviews recent original research articles concerning patient use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate. Specifically, recent studies have been conducted on the following clinical issues: depression, galactorrhea, weight gain, bone mineral density, epithelial and mucus changes in the lower genital tract, and the acceptability of and continuation rates with the use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate.
