Article Synopsis
- Women are underrepresented in otolaryngology fellowship director roles, with significantly lower percentages of women across various subspecialties compared to overall representation in academic otolaryngology.
- The study highlights that women in these director positions have shown higher academic productivity compared to their male counterparts, as indicated by H-index and years of practice.
- Overall, the findings suggest that while women are gaining ground in academic otolaryngology, they still face substantial gender disparities in leadership roles like fellowship directors.
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) as well as noradrenaline (NA) are key modulators of various fundamental brain functions including the control of appetite. While manipulations that alter brain serotoninergic signaling clearly affect body weight, studies implicating 5-HT transporters and NA transporters (5-HTT and NAT, respectively) as a main drug treatment target for human obesity have not been conclusive. The aim of this positron emission tomography (PET) study was to investigate how these central transporters are associated with changes of body weight after 6 months of dietary intervention or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery in order to assess whether 5-HTT as well as NAT availability can predict weight loss and consequently treatment success.
