Summary: Obesity is a known risk factor for the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), particularly phenotype A. PCOS is a major cause of fertility disorders in women of reproductive age. Treatment of hormonal disorders associated with PCOS has been pursued for years to restore ovulation and regular menstrual cycles. Obesity treatment has been proven effective for many women, but may be challenging due to underlying emotional eating, eating disorders, and impaired reward system. Recognizing and treating these disorders, including the appropriate use of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, is crucial for effective obesity treatment in women with PCOS.

Summary: Eigenvector centrality has shown potential in the field of psychiatry, particularly in relation to ADHD. This study explored aberrant connectivity in ADHD using Voxel-Mirrored Homotopic Connectivity (VMHC) and found no differences between diagnostic groups. However, significantly higher eigenvector centrality values were observed in the ADHD group in specific brain regions. The findings suggest that eigenvector centrality may be more relevant to ADHD psychopathology, while VMHC is consistently linked to age.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors were associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors also reduced the risk of heart failure and renal damage. In addition, metformin and pioglitazone were associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events, but pioglitazone may increase the risk of heart failure. However, insulin secretagogues were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events.

Summary: This study translated the Embodied Sense-of-Self Scale (ESSS) into Italian and examined its factor structure, reliability, and validity in an Italian sample. The three-factor structure of the ESSS was confirmed, although three different factors emerged in the Italian sample. The measure demonstrated good reliability and validity, showing consistent relationships with other variables. The 19-item Italian version of the ESSS is a suitable measure for assessing embodiment abnormalities in Italian samples.

Summary: International guidelines recommend peri-operative immunonutrition (IN) support for colorectal surgery patients to reduce postoperative complications. This pilot study on Crohn's patients undergoing intestinal surgery found that IN patients had lower plasma levels of AGEs and higher mucosal TJP1 expression, suggesting that IN may improve intestinal mucosa barrier function through the regulation of AGEs/RAGE signaling. The study also found positive correlations between plasma and tissue levels of AGEs and AOPPs, as well as negative correlations between plasma AGEs and TJP1 expression, and between RAGE expression and TJP1 gene expression.

Summary: The recommendations for glucose-lowering therapies with cardiovascular benefit in patients with diabetes are controversial, especially regarding whether to restrict these therapies to secondary prevention or extend them to patients with multiple risk factors but without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Through a meta-analysis of clinical trials, it was found that the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was significantly higher in people with ASCVD compared to those without, in trials with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA). Both SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA were effective in reducing the occurrence of MACE in people with ASCVD, but not in those without. The distinction between patients with ASCVD and those without ASCVD and multiple risk factors seems to be justified based on the available evidence.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
