Results revealed that there is a positive and significant correlation between Cinderella Syndrome and Wendy Syndrome. Wendy Syndrome, differentiation of self and avoidant attachment variables, respectively, predicts Cinderella Syndrome in women. Wendy Syndrome is predicted by the variables of differentiation of self, Cinderella Syndrome and anxious/ambivalent attachment respectively. The study highlights predictors of Cinderella and Wendy Syndrome and makes important contributions to the relevant literature by providing a better understanding of Cinderella Syndrome and Wendy Syndrome in women.

In this editorial, we comment on the article by He , specifically in relation to the efficacy of bariatric surgery glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapy in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) associated with obesity. Bariatric surgery has now also been shown to be safe and effective in pre-teens and teenagers with obesity and T2D, but information on newer GLP-1RAs in these groups is predictably limited. In older individuals (age > 65 years), both bariatric surgery and GLP-1RA therapy improve cardiovascular outcomes.

  • The study investigates the rising cases of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) in emergency departments in Northern California over an 11-year period, correlating with increased cannabis access.
  • It utilized electronic health records to identify adults experiencing CHS symptoms, focusing on two different case definitions that required a primary diagnosis of vomiting.
  • Results showed a significant increase in suspected CHS cases, with a 134-175% rise in annual prevalence, especially notable in the stricter case definition, suggesting that changes in medical coding may have influenced these estimates.

Overgrowth-intellectual disability (OGID) syndromes are a collection of rare genetic disorders with overlapping clinical profiles. In addition to the cardinal features of general overgrowth (height and/or head circumference at least two standard deviations above the mean) and some degree of intellectual disability, the OGID syndromes are often associated with neurological anomalies including seizures. In an effort to advance research in directions that will generate meaningful treatments for people with OGID syndromes, a new collaborative partnership called the Overgrowth Syndromes Alliance (OSA) formed in 2023.
