Shedding New Light On The Causes Of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome And Its Effect On Brothers
Researchers have found evidence that chronic disease in either a mother or father can create unfavourable conditions in the womb that are associated with the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in daughters. In another study, researchers found that brothers of women with PCOS and insulin resistance are themselves at greater risk of developing insulin resistance or diabetes, suggesting that factors associated with the condition can be passed down to sons as well as daughters.

Number Of EGDC Users Surge

Over 2,600 dental care professionals have created accounts on the General Dental Council"s site, eGDC, since its re-launch in April this year. This brings the total number of dental professionals who are using the site, first launched last November, to over 5,200. The eGDC site is designed to make things as easy as possible for busy registrants to keep on top of registration requirements at the click of a mouse. It allows users to update their contact details, pay their annual retention fee and, in the future, submit continuing professional development returns. We have made changes to the log-in procedure on eGDC after listening to feedback from site users. Registering on the site can now be done instantly, meaning there"s no wait for a password letter, providing you have an ID verification code. If you don"t have your code you can request one on the site, by SMS or by letter. The changes help make the process as hassle-free as possible while maintaining the level of security. Anne Gerulat, Processing Manager at the GDC, said: "We"re hoping dental care professionals in particular take advantage of eGDC this summer. They"re fast approaching the 31 July deadline to pay their annual retention fee and eGDC has plenty of extra information about how they can do that. Some dental care professionals will also be asked to complete their continuing professional development returns this August and will be able to submit this on eGDC." General Dental Council
