Prevalence of Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) negatively affects quality of life and places a substantial financial burden on health care systems due to treatment costs and increased demand for services. To estimate the worldwide prevalence of AD, the proportion of severe cases worldwide and explore sources of heterogeneity. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Global Index Medicus from January 2012 up until August 30, 2022.

A New Model for Ranking Schools of Public Health: The Public Health Academic Ranking.

As there is no ranking designed for schools of Public Health, the aim of this project was to create one. To design the Public Health Academic Ranking (PHAR), we used the InCites Benchmarking and Analytics™ software and the Web Of Science™ Core Collection database. We collected bibliometric data on 26 schools of Public Health from each continent, between August and September 2022.

Are steroid hormones and autistic traits affected by metformin? First insights from a pilot.

Background: Different lines of evidence imply that metformin could alter steroid hormone homeostasis and thereby improve social impairment. Here, we tried to correlate the impact of metformin treatment on alterations in steroid hormones and autism spectrum traits before versus after treatment with metformin.

Material & Methods: Urine steroid hormones were measured using gas chromatography mass spectrometry in 12 male subjects (54.

Prior to versus after Metformin Treatment-Effects on Steroid Enzymatic Activities.

: We recently reported that metformin administration has substantial effects on steroid hormone concentrations. In this study, we specifically explored which enzymatic activities were affected before a first treatment versus after a time of metformin treatment. Twelve male subjects (54.
