Research Question: What are the potential differences between lean women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in fat content in liver, vertebrae, paraspinal muscles, pancreas, subcutaneous (SCAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT)? Magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (PDFF) was used to establish these differences. This is a novel, non-invasive, operator-independent method with comparable diagnostic sensitivity and specificity to histologic examination for fatty liver disease, and strong correlation with muscle strength in neuromuscular studies.
Design: Twenty lean women with PCOS (mean age 23.
Is muscle mechanical function altered in polycystic ovary syndrome?

Article Synopsis
- PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, and this study aimed to examine how it affects muscle function in relation to hormonal and metabolic features.
- The research involved 44 women with PCOS and 32 healthy controls, measuring muscle strength through isokinetic dynamometry alongside hormonal and biochemical assessments.
- Results showed that while muscle function was generally better in normal-weight individuals, women with PCOS exhibited higher average lower limb power, which was linked to their elevated androgen levels.
Background/aim: Lack of early predictors of acute kidney injury is currently delaying timely diagnosis.This study was done to evaluate the relationship between mild to moderate proteinuria and incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and 28-day mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Materials And Methods: This observational, retrospective study was conducted in the internal medicine ICU.
Smoking heroin (chasing the dragon), is a method of inhaling heroin via heating the drug on a tin-foil above a flame. It also has been associated both with the indirect effects of heroin overdose and with direct pulmonary toxicity. We describe a case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia secondary to heroin inhalation in our medical intensive care unit.

Sometimes, the Ph translocation is generated by variant rearrangements. The prognostic impact of the variant translocations is still controversial.
