Abstract:
An 18-year-old virginal woman was referred to the reproductive endocrinology clinic with primary amenorrhoea and secondary sexual development in the absence of pelvic pain. Additionally, she had significant congenital sensorineural hearing loss, autism, bipolar disorder and class III obesity. On physical examination, secondary sexual development was confirmed (Tanner 5 breasts and Tanner 4 pubic hair). She refused further pelvic examination following prior attempts by the referring physicians. Serum leutinizing hormone (LH), follicle sitmulating hormone (FSH). prolactin, estradiol and total testosterone values were within normal limits. Karyotype was 46,XX. MRI demonstrated complete uterine agenesis, short vagina, sacral dysgenesis with complete absence of the coccyx and a horseshoe kidney. Diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome type 2 was established based on clinical, laboratory and MRI findings. The patient and family were counselled regarding the disease process, techniques for vaginal elongation, sexual activity and future reproductive options.

Types of Non-structural Cracks in Concrete
Plastic shrinkage cracks typically form within hours after the concrete is poured. The concrete's surface dries faster than the bottom, creating tensile stress that the still-plastic concrete cannot withstand, leading to diagonal or randomly patterned cracks on the concrete surface.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
