Potential Clinical Utility

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is also known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), formerly luteinizing hormone releasing factor (LRF). Since this hormone regulates the secretion of both FSH and LH, we prefer to call it GnRH. GnRH antagonists, as the name implies, are a class of compounds that actively compete with GnRH for the GnRH receptor, thereby neutralizing the effects of GnRH by competitive receptor occupancy. In order to fully appreciate their potential clinical utility, it is first important to comprehend the critical role of GnRH in the regulation of the pituitary-gonadal axis and secondly to familiarize ourselves with the mechanisms of action of GnRH, GnRH agonists and GnRH antagonists.

AbstractRecent prevalence estimates for autism have been alarming as a function of the notable increase. Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in screening, assessment and intervention for children with autism. This article reviews signs that may be indicative of autism at different stages of language development, and discusses the importance of several psychometric properties—sensitivity and specificity—in utilizing screening measures for children with autism. Critical components of assessment for children with autism are reviewed. This article concludes with examples of intervention targets for children with ASD at various levels of language development.
