Background/objectives: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders marked by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. People with ASD may exhibit repetitive behaviors, unique ways of learning, and different ways of interacting with the world. The term "spectrum" reflects the wide variability in how ASD manifests in individuals, including differences in abilities, symptoms, and support needs, and conditions characterized by difficulties in social interactions, communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors.

- The study aimed to assess body measurement changes in patients with classic 46,XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and to evaluate how advances in diagnosis and treatment have influenced their growth over time.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study analyzing 76 CAH patients and 1,102 matched individuals under 21 years old, focusing on height, weight, and BMI percentiles.
- Findings indicated that CAH patients consistently scored lower in height percentiles compared to matched referents, with improvements noticeable following the implementation of new CAH guidelines, highlighting the need for further investigation into the mechanisms behind different growth patterns.
Context: The long-term effect of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) on glucose metabolism is an area of priority in transgender health research.
Objectives: To evaluate the relation between GAHT and changes in fasting blood glucose (FG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in transmasculine (TM) and transfeminine (TF) persons relative to the corresponding temporal changes in presumably cisgender persons (ie, without any evidence of gender diversity).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2022 Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain cautioned that inflexible opioid prescription duration limits may harm patients. Information about the relationship between initial opioid prescription duration and a subsequent refill could inform prescribing policies and practices to optimize patient outcomes. We assessed the association between initial opioid duration and an opioid refill prescription.
