RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe time to cessation of menses in adolescent and young adult transgender males with testosterone and/or other hormonal therapies DESIGN: Retrospective chart review SETTING: Tertiary children's hospital PARTICIPANTS: Patients, aged 10-24, who began gender-affirming hormonal therapy between January 2013 and January 2019 (n = 220) INTERVENTION(S): None MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Time to cessation of menses RESULTS: Most patients identified as transgender male or transmasculine (211/220, 95.9%), with an average age of 15.8 (±1.9) years. Approximately 53.6% (118/220) of patients reported regular menstrual cycles; 18.2% (40/220) reported irregular cycles. Median time to cessation of menses for all patients was 182 days. Patients treated with testosterone alone (n = 105) reported a median time to cessation of menses of 151 days. Patients who concurrently began testosterone and norethindrone acetate (NETA) (n = 5) had a median time to cessation of menses of 188 days, compared with 168 days for those on testosterone and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA, n = 15). In 15 patients who began testosterone, a progestin therapy was later added to induce menstrual suppression, and the median time to cessation of menses was 168 days (+DMPA, n = 4) or 56 days (+NETA, n = 11). Patients treated with NETA (n = 14) or depot leuprolide (n = 11) reported a median time to cessation of menses of 78 days or 77 days, respectively. Considerable variability in prescribing patterns was noted in the remaining 36.4% of patients (n = 80). CONCLUSION: Patients used a variety of different hormonal regimens for menstrual suppression. Less than half achieved cessation of menses within 6 months. NETA and depot leuprolide users reported the most rapid cessation of menses.

RESUMO

Reaction times (RT) during the Sternberg memory paradigm generally increase with memory set size, but do not differ for positive and negative probe stimuli. Sternberg proposed that this indicated that short-term memory (STM) scanning is both exhaustive and serial. However, this notion has received much criticism, primarily because RT must also reflect response selection factors. Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings of auditory alpha-suppression have previously demonstrated that suppression duration is correlated with set size, potentially providing a physiological index of memory scanning time related specifically to sensory cortices. The current study expands earlier research into this metric by separately analyzing positive and negative probes. Thirteen normal adults participated in an auditory Sternberg paradigm. Pure tones were presented in memory set/probe combinations where the probe had a 50 percent chance of being within the memory set, and RT and accuracy were measured. Magnetic alpha-band activity (8-12 Hz) was quantified for pre- and post-stimulus regions. Although RT did not differ for positive and negative probes, alpha-suppression duration was greater for negative probes than positive ones, potentially indicating that scanning time was slightly faster in the positive condition. This may indicate that STM scanning is serial, but self-terminates when matching occurs.

RESUMO

Considerable evidence exists for developmental changes in latency and amplitude of the auditory evoked potential termed N100. However, it is widely recognized that the N100 wave comprises multiple, temporally overlapping neural generators, and few data are available addressing either individual generator development or mechanisms behind such change. Using magnetoencelphalographic (MEG) measurements of the magnetic analog of the N100 termed the M100, which derives primarily from supra-temporal auditory generators, it is demonstrated here that changes in the response of that waveform to manipulation of interstimulus interval (ISI) occur between the ages of 6 and 18 years of age.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the time course for development of white matter changes induced by high-dose chemotherapy. METHODS: Eight patients with advanced breast cancer were entered into a prospective, longitudinal trial that included examination by MR imaging and proton MR spectroscopy before chemotherapy and through 12 months after treatment with carmustine, cyclophosphamide, and cisplatin, combined with autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell support (AHPCS). RESULTS: Six patients completed induction chemotherapy, at which time all MR imaging studies appeared normal. At 3 months after the conclusion of high-dose chemotherapy and beyond, three of the four patients remaining in the study showed an increasing volume of white matter changes, which appeared to stabilize during the period from 6 months to 1 year. Maximal volumes of abnormal white matter ranged from 73 to 166 cm3. MR spectroscopy showed little or no change in metabolic ratios through the period of observation, although there was a suggestion of small transient treatment-related decreases in the ratio of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) to creatine. CONCLUSION: White matter changes are common sequelae of treatment with high-dose chemotherapy combined with AHPCS, occurring early in the period following high-dose chemotherapy, with a rapid and progressive accumulation to about 6 months, but not accompanied by persistent neurologic symptoms. The MR spectroscopic analyses suggest a minimal disturbance of the neuronal marker NAA, a finding that may in part explain the good neurologic outcome.
