Objectives The aim of this study is to assess vitamin D levels, including the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) patients. Background : The Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) affects primarily young women. POTS is a form of dysautonomia that is estimated to impact between 1,000,000 and 3,000,000 Americans, and millions more around the world. We frequently find vitamin D deficiency in patients who present with POTS Methods: 180 patients were selected randomly from our clinic with POTS. Patients Vitamin D levels charts were reviewed from electronic medical records, 25-OH vitamin D (Vitamin D3 ) status was defined as Normal (>30 ng/mL), Insufficient (20.0-29.9 ng/mL), and deficient (<20 ng/mL). Results: Out of 180 patients, 170 patients are female (94%, n=170, age 31.88±10.36), 10 patients are male (6% ,age 25.83±6.19). 79 patients had vitamin D3 level >30 ng/ml, 10 patients had vitamin D3 level range >20.0 to 29.9 ng/mL, 91 patients had vitamin D3 level < 20ng/mL. Conclusion: Our research results demonstrated that Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) patients have a higher rate of vitamin D3 deficiency (51% have Vitamin D3 less than 20 ng/mL). Vitamin D3 levels are low in more than half of POTS patients (56% had less than 30 ng/mL )

Abstract In 1998 the authors circulated a questionnaire asking transgender respondents their reactions to various and assorted terminology and usage, including information about what the respondents did and did not wish to be called (N = 134). The authors followed up with focus groups at two trans conferences and presented their results at the 2001 symposium of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association. In 2011, to see how language usage had evolved, the authors circulated a similar questionnaire (N = 2,633) and presented those results at the 2011 symposium of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. These results are now presented in print.

The Voice

Transgender voice and communication is an emerging area of practice within the scope of speech-language pathology. The evidence that informs this practice is still sparse, but is rapidly expanding. To support clinicians, the Voice and Communication Standing Committee of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has recently prepared a document that summarizes the evidence-based literature up to 2013 and offers suggestions to guide clinical practice. This paper is a brief outline of that document, which will be available in an upcoming issue of the International Journal of Transgenderism and also, free of charge, on the WPATH website at http://www.wpath.org .

Language Pathology

Voice and communication change for gender-divergent people is a rapidly growing specialty within the practice of speech-language pathology. In 2015, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) published an article to support clinicians, researchers and educators in this emerging field. This “Companion Document” expands on WPATH's Standards of Care in Transgender Voice and Communication. What follows here is a brief summary of the document's content.
