This study found no association between serum concentrations of irisin or GIP and BMI in women with or without PCOS.

This study found that hair cortisol levels increase and testosterone levels decrease with obesity, suggesting that measuring hormones in hair may be a valuable tool in obesity research and clinical practice.

This study found that obese patients had higher prevalence and severity of skin conditions like acanthosis nigricans and infections compared to those with normal BMI, which could help detect metabolic syndrome early.

In this study, skin tags in Irish adults with morbid obesity were associated with higher blood pressure, higher HbA1c levels, and a greater prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, suggesting increased cardiovascular risk.

This study found that women with acne had higher rates of hyperandrogenism and obesity, and higher androgen levels and BMI were linked to increased acne severity.

This study found that age, pre-pregnancy BMI, and family history of diabetes were independent predictors of gestational diabetes in Iranian women, with selective screening missing few cases among low-risk groups.

This study found that BMI was not a significant factor in predicting surgical complications for transgender patients undergoing penile inversion vaginoplasty, suggesting obese patients can safely undergo gender affirmation surgery.

This study identified an association between premature hair greying and larger waist circumference among young healthy subjects.

In this cross-sectional study, researchers found that those without a diabetic background had higher levels of secreted frizzled related protein-4, while family history of diabetes was strongly correlated with waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and insulin resistance but not significantly linked to protein-4 levels.

This study found that girls with isolated premature thelarche, confirmed by GnRH stimulation test, aged 4-8 years, may have significantly advanced bone age, with obesity and serum IGF-1 and DHEAS levels being key risk factors.

This source critically examines the limitations of using BMI to assess obesity in women, especially during reproductive, pregnancy, and postmenopausal stages, and discusses more precise alternative methods for evaluating obesity in line with sex-specific healthcare needs.

In this study of patients with obesity, the most common skin disorders observed were acanthosis nigricans, skin tags, and stretch marks, emphasizing the impact of obesity on dermatological health.

This study established a normative free androgen index range of 0.7-6.4 and identified a cut-off value of 6.1 for reproductive-age women in southern China, highlighting hyperandrogenic women's increased metabolic disorder risks.

This study found that gender, puberty, and BMI significantly affect hair cortisol concentrations in children, suggesting these factors should be considered in future research.

This study found that Bangladeshi patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus had significantly lower serum vitamin E levels compared to healthy individuals, with lower levels particularly observed in female and older patients, emphasizing the potential importance of antioxidant status in managing the disease.

This study found that among transgender men undergoing long-term testosterone therapy, a severe pattern of androgenetic alopecia may indicate increased arterial stiffness, as measured by higher intima-media thickness of the carotid artery.

This study found that women with PCOS and high BMI exhibited significantly increased hair growth compared to non-PCOS women, suggesting an additive effect of body weight on this phenotype in PCOS.

This study concluded that the Free Androgen Index (FAI) could serve as a reliable biomarker for hyperandrogenism in women with androgenetic alopecia, showing more predictive value than testosterone or SHBG alone.

In this study, the free androgen index (FAI) was found to be a reliable marker for diagnosing and monitoring adolescent girls with hyperandrogenism, suggesting clinical reference values for PCOS, obesity, and idiopathic hirsutism.

In this study of healthy men, low levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone were associated with higher body mass index, fat content, and insulin resistance, but their effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were similar in quality.

This study found that newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in Korea have different hair mineral patterns, notably reduced zinc levels, which negatively correlate with body mass index compared to normal controls.

This study found that the cross-section trichometer is a promising tool for measuring hair mass index with high reproducibility, suggesting potential clinical and research applications.

This article reports the first case of group B streptococcal meningitis in an HIV-positive patient who had previously undergone a splenectomy.

In this study, researchers found that women with PCOS and thyroid dysfunction had significantly altered T3 and T4 hormone levels and more frequent symptoms like weight gain and irregular menstrual cycles, suggesting the importance of thyroid screenings for personalized treatment strategies.

This study explored the relationship between BMI percentiles and clinical severity in pediatric patients with different hemoglobin genotypes, finding significant BMI differences and associations with pain frequency, particularly noting that patients with HbSS experienced more pain than those with HbSC.

This study found that most patients with chronic telogen effluvium had serum ferritin levels below hair cycle requirements, significantly linked to socioeconomic status, age, and weight factors.

This study observed that different alkaline buffers had a significant impact on the volume of liquid consumed by fall armyworm larvae, emphasizing the importance of measuring imbibed volumes to reduce dose errors in bioassays.

In this study, researchers found that girls aged 4-8 years with isolated premature thelarche had significantly advanced bone age, with obesity and elevated serum IGF-1 SDS and DHEAS SDS being key independent risk factors.

This study suggests that young female athletes, especially those with lower BMI, should be informed about the risk of menstrual irregularity associated with excessive sports activity.
