- The study examined the characteristics of women with diagnosed and probable polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among 557 participants from clinics in eastern Massachusetts.* -
- About 9.7% of the women had diagnosed PCOS, while 9.2% were classified as having probable PCOS based on specific hormonal criteria, showing similarities in irregular menstrual cycles between both groups.* -
- While diagnosed PCOS women had a higher obesity rate (43.9%), both groups showed similar glycemic traits, suggesting it's crucial to evaluate hormonal profiles in women experiencing irregular cycles regardless of body weight.*
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is on the rise among youth. Identifying biomarkers of NAFLD progression/risk can aid in prevention efforts.

Purpose Of Review: This review summarizes the current state of school-entry vaccination requirements and related exemption policies in the United States and examines recent changes to these policies.
