The purpose of this review is to explore the relationship between weight loss (WL), specifically reductions in body mass index (BMI), and increases in testosterone levels. Obesity and excess body fat are linked to reduced testosterone levels, which can lead to metabolic dysfunctions, reduced libido, and diminished muscle mass. To attain this purpose, this review will summarize current evidence on how weight reduction interventions, including dietary changes, exercise, and bariatric surgery, affect testosterone production in overweight and obese individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are promising for nanophotonics because they enable fast, photon-mediated electrical signals and exhibit high-field strength and sub-wavelength confinement, which is useful for techniques like surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
- Photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) is a cutting-edge imaging method that captures surface electric fields through ultrafast laser pulses, offering both nanometer and femtosecond resolution to study plasmonic phenomena in various materials.
- The text reviews recent advancements in PEEM for imaging and manipulating SPPs, emphasizing its significance in nanoscale and quantum materials science developments.
Background: Hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) are defined as hypereosinophilia with eosinophil-related clinical manifestations, some of which overlap in presentation with asthma, atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and/or chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Dupilumab is approved to treat these conditions but can induce a transient rise in the absolute eosinophil count and rare eosinophil-related complications.
Objective: To determine whether eosinophil-related complications of dupilumab are increased in HES.
Introduction In the complex landscape of healthcare economics, the financial relationship between physicians and industry remains a topic of significant interest and reflection. While the dynamics of industry relationships in certain orthopedic subspecialties have been well documented, the intricacies of industry payments within musculoskeletal (MSK) oncology programs have yet to be thoroughly explored. In this study, we aim to examine the relationship between academic and industry productivity at the fellowship level.
