Objective: To determine the burden and identify correlates of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among women with prediabetes (PreD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) enrolled in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Outcomes Study (DPPOS).
Methods: The DPPOS visit included the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) to determine sexual function. Of 1464 participants, 1320 (90%) completed the (FSFI) and 426 were sexually active.
Objective: To determine burden and identify correlates of erectile dysfunction (ED) among men with prediabetes (PreD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) enrolled in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Outcomes Study (DPPOS).
Research Design And Methods: The 2017 DPPOS visit included administration of the International Index of Erectile Function. Of 648 male participants, 88 % (n = 568) completed the survey.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how maternal characteristics and delivery methods affect women's perceived control during childbirth, using a self-reported questionnaire called the Labor Agentry Scale.
- Researchers conducted a secondary analysis on data from a large randomized trial involving low-risk first-time mothers, focusing on various factors such as age, race, BMI, and labor pain.
- Results showed that certain groups, such as those identifying as Asian or Hispanic, smokers, and women with higher BMIs or cesarean deliveries, reported significantly lower levels of perceived control during labor compared to White women and those who had spontaneous deliveries.
Objective: To evaluate changes in retinal thickness and morphology using OCT in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to identify systemic biomarkers correlating with these changes.
Design: Retrospective subgroup analysis of a prospective study.
Participants: Participants who underwent OCT imaging in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) trial and its follow-up study TODAY2.
Introduction: The Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) trial examined the effects of three treatment arms in a group of racially and ethnically diverse adolescents and youth with type 2 diabetes mellitus. TODAY2 was an observational follow-up study reporting outcomes and complications in these participants after having diabetes for approximately 13 years. Participant retention was essential to fulfill this objective.

Infants of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have higher risk for childhood obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Leptin and adiponectin are known biomarkers for MetS and may guide interventions to reduce later obesity.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial of elective induction of labor at 39 weeks of gestation compared with expectant management in low-risk nulliparous patients. Participants with nonanomalous neonates, who were randomized to and underwent expectant management and attained 39 0/7 weeks of gestation, were included.
Background: Smoking during pregnancy has adverse health consequences for the mother and fetus. E-cigarettes could aid with smoking cessation but there is limited research on the prevalence and patterns of e-cigarette use, and their association with smoking cessation among pregnant smokers.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial of a text-messaging program for smoking cessation among a U.
International case-control studies have demonstrated that psoriasis is associated with an increased prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The purpose of the present study was to establish an association of psoriasis and NAFLD in patients attending a dermatology clinic center in the United States. This was an observational, case-control study.

Methods: A secondary analysis of a multicenter trial of vitamin C and E supplementation in healthy low-risk nulliparous women. Outcomes were compared between women with SPTB (due to spontaneous membrane rupture or labor) and those with IPTB (due to medical or obstetric complications).
