The proposed algorithm refers to and amends
DSD methods and includes eight major steps described as follows.
The 46, XX
DSD is usually caused by 21- or 11-hydroxylase deficiency or congenital adrenal hyperplasia; the 46, XY
DSD is often attributed to the secretion of androgen and abnormalities in metabolism and/or receptors.

Histopathology: At times biopsy of the genital skin for mosaicism and 5[alpha]-reductase activity and gonadal biopsy may be required in cases of mixed gonadal dygenisis or ovotesticular
DSD.
Among 300 cases, 46, XX
DSD were 54.3% (n=163), 46, XY
DSD were 43.7% (n=131), and sex chromosomal
DSD, 2% (n=6).
In total 121 patients were evaluated at monthly meetings of the
DSD council during the study period.
At present, USP is available in only a few reference centers and this limits the use of USP in routine
DSD evaluation.
They claimed there was no CCTV at the police station where Worboys dropped off
DSD and said there was no trace of any drugs in her system when tests showed the opposite.
Results: Out of 151 patients of XY
DSD, 68 (45%) patients were diagnosed as partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PIAS), 18 (12%) as isolated micropenis, 25 (16.6%) as partial gonadal dysgenesis, 12 (7.9%) as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, 11 (7.2%) as primary hypogonadism, 13 (8.6%) as complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) and 4 (2.6%) as 5[alpha] reductase deficiency.
The choice of bin size classes may influence the shape of the
DSD fundamentally; a too large bin size may ignore certain small sizes of drops, resulting in that the measured
DSD would not represent the underlying
DSD; and the bin size cannot be small infinitely because of the limitation of the instrument's resolution.
Last month in Manila, the four members of the
DSD, or the 'Quad' - the United States, Japan, Australia and India - met on the sidelines of the Asean Summit.
Linde's new
DSD 400 metering system and process is said to provide precise amounts of liquid C[O.sub.2] or gaseous [N.sub.2] to the extrusion process to help optimize foaming and reduce density with its high-performance compressor, mass-flow meters, and dynamic control valve.
