'...a possible therapeutic approach for peripheral neuropathy might be represented by the treatment with neuroactive steroids themselves, with molecules able to induce their in situ synthesis or with molecules able to interact with their receptors.'
In recent years, advances in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) refractory to conventional therapy have been suggested in anecdotal series and some clinical trials. A number of promising agents have been studied only in murine models of SLE, and clinical trials are awaited. Rigorously conducted clinical trials must be completed to advance these studies to the point that new therapies for SLE will be approved.
In infertile men thyroid hormone and antibody testing was performed and correlated with the results of semen analyses. Evaluation included semen analyses, physical examination, evaluation of sex steroid hormones, thyroid hormones (bTSH, fT4, fT3) and thyroid antibody testing (TGA, TPO-Ab, TRAK). Furthermore 45 men with normal thyroid function were scheduled for TRH testing. No one was diagnosed as having manifest hypo- or hyperthyroidism. Latent thyroid dysfunction had no effect on semen parameters. Elevated TPO-Ab were significantly correlated with reduction in motility of spermatozoa. The routine assessment of thyroid hormones and antibodies in infertile men is not recommended. Subclinical hypothyroidism as a result of TRH testing is a rare finding in infertile men.
