background outcome determination of head trauma is important for medical decision-making. to determine the consequences by using ct findings, the marshall and rotterdam criteria were introduced. few studies have been conducted to determine the diagnostic value of the rotterdam criteria. objective this study assesses the diagnostic value of the rotterdam criteria score with early outcome for tra...

critical issue regarding to variation of findings based on different phenotypes led investigators to define whether they are distinct features or overlapping ones. therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between diverse phenotypes of pcos (poly cystic ovary syndrome) with clinical manifestations, anthropometric indices, and metabolic characteristics. this was a descriptive cross-sect...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies and it manifests itself in about 4-12% women of reproductive age. The Rotterdam, AES and NIH criteria can be used to diagnose PCOS in adults but there are no specific criteria to diagnose PCOS in adolescent girls. Most authors agree that applying criteria for adult to teenagers leads to overdiagnosis because of similari...

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is considered to be the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, yet debate over appropriate diagnostic criteria and design limitations with sampling methodology have left some doubt as to the actual prevalence in the community. The objective of this study was to create a representative prevalence estimate of PCOS in the community ...
