To read the full abstract: Sci Rep. 2017; 7(1): 7427Prenatal dexamethasone treatment has been suggested over three decades ago to prevent virilization of a female fetus affected with 21-hydroxylase deficiency due to genetic mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. However, current treatment guidelines for CAH regard this treatment still as experimental, mainly because follow-up studies of treated fetu...

Brief summary: This randomized, multicenter, controlled, phase II study compared the effects of high-dose (HD) once-weekly PEGylated-recombinant human growth hormone (PEG-rhGH) to low-dose (LD) and to an untreated control group of children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) over a period of 52 weeks. PEG-rhGH was effective in increasing height gain in a dose dependent manner with both doses being well tolerated during the observation period.PEG-rhGH is ...

Brief summary: Using in-depth multi-omics analyses of human type 1 diabetes (T1D) samples, the authors profiled gut microbial functional and metabolic alterations. The T1D microbiota showed decreased butyrate production and bile acid metabolism and increased lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. Fecal microbiota transplantation in animal models proved that T1D gut microflora is a causative factor in the regulation of glucose metabolism.The etiology of T...
