Purpose: Several studies suggest a linkage between PCOS and autoimmunity with a high frequency of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) reported in PCOS patients, however, this subject remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of AIT in PCOS women and identify parameters that would serve as independent predictors of AIT.
Methods: Two hundred fifty seven (257) PCOS patients according to the NIH criteria and one hundred forty three (143) controls, women with normal menstrual cycles and without clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, were recruited for the study.

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Background: Patients hospitalized with moderately severe or acute severe ulcerative colitis (UC) may experience metabolic disturbances, including alterations in insulin resistance due to inflammation and the administration of glucocorticoids (GCs). This pilot study aimed to evaluate insulin sensitivity in patients hospitalized for moderately severe to severe UC.
Method: Patients hospitalized for moderately-severely active UC at Örebro University Hospital, Sweden, were eligible for inclusion.

Background: Precision nutrition-based methods develop tailored interventions and/or recommendations accounting for determinants of intra- and inter-individual variation in response to the same diet, compared to current 'one-size-fits-all' population-level approaches. Determinants may include genetics, current dietary habits and eating patterns, circadian rhythms, health status, gut microbiome, socioeconomic and psychosocial characteristics, and physical activity. In this systematic review, we examined the evidence base for the effect of interventions based on precision nutrition approaches on overweight and obesity in children and adolescents to help inform future research and global guidelines.

Aims And Background: Carbapenem-resistant (CRAb), a major public health threat, causes severe infections in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. It resists β-lactam antibiotics through mechanisms like New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM).
Materials And Methods: In ICU patients, 69 species were isolated from 86 non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli.
