Inflammation is purported to play an important role in the clinical course of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The current study by Höllig et al. entails using dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, a hormone that inhibits key inflammatory pathways, as a predictor of functional outcome in these patients.

Effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on clinical and biological hyperandrogenism and menstruation irregularities in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review of randomized trials.
SAGE Open Med

Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Internal Medicine, Tahar Sfar University Hospital, Mahdia, Tunisia.
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, leading to significant health risks and impaired quality of life. Sodium-glucose transporter type 2 inhibitors have shown promise in improving the metabolic profile of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. However, their impact on hormonal parameters and cycle disorders remains uncertain.

Background: Differences in bone metabolism between patients with adrenal Cushing's syndrome (ACS) and Cushing's disease (CD) have been noted, but the impact of steroid hormones on bone metabolism remains underexplored. The purpose of this study is to explore the differences in bone metabolism between the two subtypes of Cushing's syndrome and the correlation between hormones synthesized by the adrenal reticulum and bone metabolism.
Method: This retrospective study included 75 premenopausal women, consisting of 33 patients with CD and 42 patients with ACS.

Background: An important aspect of the shift towards dried blood spots (DBS) as a sample matrix for laboratory measurements, is the availability of robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods that can reliably quantify analyte concentrations in DBS. The development and validation of these LC-MS/MS methods, however, concerns an extensive process, for which large amounts of DBS samples are required. DBS are usually obtained from capillary blood samples, but they can also be prepared from venous (residual) blood samples, which are widely available in clinical laboratories.

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Kasr El-Aini Street, P.O. Box.11562, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Plastic products use phthalate to enhance their flexibility, transparency, and stability, while behenic acid is a carboxylic acid with antioxidant activity.
Objectives: This study evaluates whether behenic acid can protect the testosterone cycle and prevent the sperm apoptosis and protein loss in phthalate-treated male rats.
Methods: There were 36 male albino rats in all, divided into six equal sets of six rats each: control, behenic acid (13 g/kg), behenic acid (26 g/kg), diethyl phthalate (10 mg/kg), behenic acid (13 g/kg) + diethyl phthalate (10 mg/kg), and behenic acid (26 g/kg) + diethyl phthalate (10 mg/kg)-treated groups.
Relationship of adiponectin, leptin and reproductive endocrine hormones with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome patients with normal BMI.
Gynecol Endocrinol

Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, The International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the correlation of adiponectin (APN) and leptin (LEP), reproductive endocrine hormones with insulin resistance (IR) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with normal body mass index (BMI).
Methods: Totally 160 PCOS patients were categorized into the Normal BMI (BMI: 18.5-25 kg/m, = 62) and High BMI (BMI > 25 kg/m, = 98) groups.
