Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies among reproductive-age women. Its metabolic features often overlap with those associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) and insulin resistance syndrome (IRS). The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of MS and IRS in infertile Vietnamese women with PCOS.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary fertility centre at Hue University Hospital from June 2016 to November 2017. A total of 441 infertile women diagnosed with PCOS based on the revised 2003 Rotterdam consensus criteria were enrolled. MS and IRS were defined based on the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute/American Heart Association Adult Treatment Panel III 2005 and American College of Endocrinology IRS 2003 criteria, respectively. Complete clinical and biochemical measurements of 318 women were available for analysis. Independent predictors of MS and IRS were identified using multivariate logistic regression.

Results: The overall prevalence of MS and IRS in women with PCOS was 10.4% and 27.0%, respectively. We identified older age (>30 years) and obesity as independent predictors of MS and IRS. Elevated anti-Müllerian hormone levels increased the risk of IRS, but not that of MS.

Conclusion: MS and IRS are prevalent disorders among infertile Vietnamese women with PCOS. PCOS is not solely a reproductive problem. Screening and early intervention for MS and/or IRS based on anthropometric, metabolic, and reproductive hormone risk factors should be an integral part of fertility care.

Background: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) may contribute to the high morbidity in people with four-class drug-resistant HIV (4DR-PWH).

Objectives: To explore the probability of MACEs in 4DR-PWH compared with non-4DR controls.

Methods: This was a retrospective, propensity score-matched cohort study on 4DR-PWH (cases) and non-4DR-PWH (controls), on ART, without previous MACEs.

Introduction: People with HIV (PWH) with poor immune response despite adequate antiretroviral treatment (ART) are susceptible to non-AIDS-related health issues. This study seeks to evaluate bone quality in Immunological Non-Responders (INRs) in comparison to those with proper immune response (IRs) using in vivo microindentation to quantify bone quality, in addition to conventional bone mineral density (BMD) evaluations.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Hospital del Mar in Barcelona from January 2019 to June 2023.

Effect of neuromuscular control on the shoulder function of patients with healed rotator cuff and those with retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc

November 2024

Department of Sports Medical Center, Korea University College of Medicine, The Anam Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Purpose: To compare functional outcomes such as muscle strength, neuromuscular control and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between patients with healed rotator cuffs and those with retears after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR).

Methods: One hundred and nine patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR were included (85 in the healed group, 24 in the retear group). Shoulder muscle strength and neuromuscular control index (acceleration time [AT]) were evaluated using an isokinetic device.

Article Synopsis
  • There are five subtypes of somatostatin receptors (SST1-5) that play roles in various tumors, with SST2 and SST5 being the most relevant for diagnosis and treatment.
  • The article reviews the biological features of SST, emphasizing the immunohistochemical evaluation of SST2 and SST5 in growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumors as predictors of treatment response to somatostatin receptor ligands (SRL).
  • There is a need for standardized immunohistochemical techniques and scoring systems for SST2 and SST5 to enhance treatment strategies for patients with somatotroph tumors.
