Introduction There are controversies about whether women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) show a disproportionately higher visceral adiposity, and its relevance to their higher cardiometabolic risks. We investigated in women of Asian Indian descent in Mauritius, a population inherently prone to abdominal obesity, whether those with PCOS will show a more adverse cardiometabolic risk profile that could be explained by abnormalities in fat distribution. Methods Young women newly diagnosed with PCOS (n=25) were compared with a reference control cohort (n =139) for the following measurements made after an overnight fast: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, blood pressure and blood assays for glycemic (glucose, HbA1c, insulin) and lipid (triglycerides, cholesterols) profiles.

Background: It is common for consumers to purchase ultra-processed foods that are perceived to have health risks, and this phenomenon is rarely explained in the existing literature from the perspective of consumers' responses to the intuitive marketing of flavor labels and the packaging.
Methods: This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap and investigated the attention of 920 participants aged 18~59 across China toward fat and sodium content information for six ultra-processed foods (pastry foods, quick-frozen foods, dessert foods, puffed foods, beverages, and sauces) presented in nutrition facts tables based on the theoretical analysis framework for purchasing decisions on ultra-processed foods by using the binary logit model.
Results: It was found that the respondent' s attention to fat and sodium content information was positively influenced by health risk perception levels and levels of knowledge about fat and sodium but negatively influenced by the interaction term between flavor labels (or the packaging) that stimulated the purchase desire and health risk perception levels (or levels of knowledge about fat and sodium).

Article Synopsis
- A new method using copper benzenedicarboxylate metal-organic frameworks (CuBDC) was developed for detecting glyphosate in the environment.
- The method relies on the interaction between glyphosate and copper ions, which inhibits the framework's peroxidase-like activity, leading to a measurable decrease in fluorescence.
- It demonstrated a sensitivity range of 0.5-10 µg/mL for glyphosate detection, with a limit of detection at 23.99 ng/mL, making it effective for testing river water samples.
EVALUATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE REGARDING CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING PRACTICE: A MULTICENTER REGIONAL STUDY.

Named after S.Kh. Avdalbekyan National Institute of Health, Yerevan, Armenia.
Unlabelled: The prevalence of deaths from cervical cancer (CC) in the word was around 350.000 in the last 5 years, indicating the need to analyze the potential causality and current management approaches. This study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge regarding CC, including its risk factors, signs and symptoms and early detection methods, as well as the awareness and attitude of participants toward the screening tests.
