In this assessment of existing research on DTC commercial virtual care, it is highlighted that impacts on care quality, health outcomes, system use, and privacy ethics remain unclear, with potential bias noted due to industry financial connections.

This study found that long-COVID symptoms in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome did not differ significantly across SARS-CoV-2 variants, with factors like age being more impactful.

This review discusses the characteristics and diagnostic challenges of fibrosing alopecia pattern distribution, proposing an algorithm for hair transplantation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that screening for prostate cancer did not significantly reduce prostate cancer-specific mortality in a meta-analysis of five randomized controlled trials, although one trial reported a benefit in a specific age subgroup.

This study found that the detection rate of clinically insignificant prostate cancer increases with the number of repeat prostate biopsies in patients with persistently suspicious prostate cancer.

This study found that the prevalence of PCOS among Australian women aged 16-29 was 12% using NIH criteria, with fertility concerns being the most distressing aspect for those diagnosed.

In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.
