Objective: To compare personality traits between average weight, overweight and obese people using Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated Form (EPQR-A). Study design: Cross-sectional, descriptive study. Place and duration of study: S. B. U Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Training and Research Hospital Family Medicine Obesity Policlinic and Family Medicine Outpatient Clinics, from November 2018 to January 2019.
Methods: Participants aged between 18 and 65 years (279 female and 150 male) were layered according to Turkish Endocrinology and Metabolism Society (TEMD) Body Mass Index (BMI) categories to compare personality traits between normal weight, overweight and obese people. Each layer was compared to each other in this study. A questionnaire, including socio-demographic form, and EPQR-A Form were applied to the participants.
Results: Patients aged between 18 and 65 years (279 female and 150 male) were evaluated according to BMI categories. There was a significant difference in psychoticism score averages by BMI categories (p<0.001). The mean of psychoticism scores showed a V-shaped distribution according to the BMI categories. There were no significant differences between the average scores of neuroticism and extraversion according to BMI categories (p=0.094; p=0.157, respectively).
Conclusion: There was a significant difference in psychoticism score averages by BMI categories. The mean of psychoticism scores showed a V-shaped distribution according to the BMI categories.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery in severe obesity: the added value of waist circumference.
Int J Obes (Lond)
December 2024
Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec-Université Laval, Québec, QC, Canada.
Introduction: Obesity is an independent risk factor for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. POAF in patients with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 35 kg/m) is less studied. Whether waist circumference (WC) improves prediction of POAF independently of BMI among patients with severe obesity remains unknown.

Objective: To assess the association of being overweight or obese with Nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence, stage progression, and grade progression.
Methods: Patients with NMIBC were included and categorized into 3 groups based on their body mass index (BMI): normal weight, overweight, and obese. Recurrence was defined as any histologically proven bladder cancer on subsequent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
The Reproducibility and Reliability of Insulin Sensitivity and Secretion Indices in Children and Adolescents.
Pediatr Diabetes
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.
Context: Insulin sensitivity and secretion indices can be useful tools in understanding insulin homeostasis in children at risk for diabetes. There have been few studies examining the reproducibility of these measures in pediatrics.
Objective: To determine whether fasting or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived insulin measures would be more reproducible and whether there would be differences based on weight, sex, race, and pubertal status.
FSH/LH co-stimulation in Advanced Maternal Age (AMA) and hypo-responder patients - Arabian gulf delphi consensus group.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

The Fertility Clinic, Skive Regional Hospital, Skive, Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Skive, Denmark.
Background: In a global effort to assess expert perspectives on the use of recombinant gonadotropins, recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) and recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH), a consensus meeting was held in Dubai. The key aim was to address three critical questions: What are the factors that influence follicle response to gonadotropins? Which categories of patients are most likely to benefit from LH supplementation? And what are the optimal management strategies for these patients?
Methods: A panel of thirty-six experts reviewed and refined the initial statements and references proposed by the Scientific Coordinator. Consensus was defined as agreement or disagreement by more than two-thirds (66%) of the panel members for each statement.
Biomechanical changes in lumbar intervertebral discs after percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy surgery at different Body Mass Index (BMI) categories.

Department of Orthopaedics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui, 230032, China.
Objective: Percutaneous Endoscopic Transforaminal Discectomy (PETD) is recognized as the leading surgical intervention for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Moreover, Body Mass Index (BMI) has been established as an independent risk factor for disc reherniation post-PETD. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies investigating the biomechanical changes in the disc post-PETD in relation to diverse BMI levels.
