Summary: Sheehan syndrome caused by postpartum hemorrhage leads to pituitary hormone deficiency, resulting in various abnormalities including lipid and glucose abnormalities, increased body fat, insulin resistance, coagulation abnormalities, increased leptin concentration, low-grade inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. Replacement with growth hormone in addition to standard hormone replacement improves the cardiometabolic profile of patients with Sheehan syndrome.

Summary: The presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), but not obesity only, entails a greater risk of mortality and cardiovascular diseases. The risk of atrial fibrillation is increased only in subjects with both obesity and MetS. Obesity without MetS tends to progress eventually to obesity with MetS.

Summary: This study found a higher prevalence of MetS and its components in patients with EP, with factors such as MetS, abdominal obesity, hypertension, smoking, and alcohol use being positive independent predictors of EP. Early intervention for correcting these cardiovascular risk factors is encouraged for managing EP.

Summary: Ceramide risk score (CERT1) has been reported as a potential marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction. This study aimed to evaluate CERT1 in obese subjects with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS) and compared them to a normal-weight group. Obesity was associated with higher CERT1 values, and the predictors of CERT1 included waist circumference, insulin resistance, and inflammation. However, the clinical diagnosis of MetS may not accurately assess CVD risk in the obese population.

Summary: SFRP family members are antagonistic inhibitors of the Wnt signaling pathway and play important roles in the pathogenesis of various metabolic diseases. They may potentially serve as disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the future.

Summary: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that leads to bone and tooth loss. It has been linked to various systemic diseases, including diabetes and obesity. These diseases are part of the metabolic syndrome cluster, which significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and stroke. This review aims to investigate the correlation between periodontal disease and the components and outcomes of the metabolic syndrome cluster, providing insights into the fundamental mechanisms that link each condition with the metabolic syndrome. Understanding this interplay can lead to more effective treatments considering the broader impact of managing periodontal disease on systemic disease treatment, and vice versa.

Summary: Obesity in adolescence is linked to cardiovascular disease. Non-traditional risk factors can be used as biomarkers to predict future CVD. Lifestyle intervention programs can improve these risk factors.

Summary: Mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) is considered a promising treatment for patients with schizophrenia, but its effectiveness in patients with co-occurring substance use or comorbid medical problems has not been well-reported. Research shows that MBTs can have positive effects on substance use disorder, obesity, diabetes, and other issues.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome is a collection of conditions that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Obesity is closely linked to metabolic syndrome, as it promotes inflammation and oxidative stress, which are precursors of complications relating to metabolic syndrome components such as insulin resistance, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. While oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are known to play a significant role in the development of metabolic syndrome, there has been limited research on the mechanisms underlying the contribution of oxidative stress. This review highlights the mechanisms by which reactive oxygen species contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction, protein damage, lipid peroxidation, and impaired antioxidant function in metabolic syndrome. Biomarkers of oxidative stress can be utilized for disease diagnosis and severity evaluation.

Summary: By mapping similarities among clinical parameters in normal physiological settings, a quantitative two-dimensional model representing the whole-body state has been identified, including both traditional metabolic syndrome and a novel non-classical metabolic syndrome. These findings offer new avenues for improved personalized diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Summary: Classical CAH patients have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular metabolic risk factors, although the complete metabolic syndrome is relatively rare in children and adolescents. Understanding the traditional and non-traditional risk factors in CAH patients can guide treatment options and prevent the onset of metabolic syndrome in adulthood.

Summary: The study revealed a significant association between metabolic syndrome and its factors with noncalcified coronary burden in patients with psoriasis. Individuals with metabolic syndrome had higher cardiovascular disease risk factors and systemic inflammation, highlighting the importance of increasing awareness and addressing metabolic syndrome in psoriasis patients to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome severity score (MetSSS) and glucose regulatory and cardiovascular disease (CVD) status in Aotearoa New Zealand. The MetSSS and MetSSS component coefficients were calculated for participants from two cross-sectional studies and compared by ethnicity, glucose regulatory status, and history of cardiovascular disease. The results showed a positive association between MetSSS and impaired glucose regulatory status as well as history of cardiovascular disease for all ethnic groups. Ethnicity significantly affected the coefficients of the MetSSS components, but all ethnicities had a similar MetSSS distribution. The study concludes that MetSSS may be a useful tool to assess cardiometabolic disease risk in the multi-ethnic population of Aotearoa New Zealand, although ethnic-specific categories for disease risk may be needed.

Summary: Yoga is considered a low-impact mind-body stress-relieving exercise that researchers are studying for its potential benefits in managing metabolic disorders. However, current literature on the effects of yoga on metabolic syndrome risk factors shows mixed results, calling for more rigorous research to evaluate its efficacy and long-term impacts. Understanding yoga's biochemical and molecular mechanisms of action on various metabolic pathways is also crucial.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between muscle strength, adiposity measurements, and the cluster of MetS, finding that WC was the principal risk factor for a high MetS score and an inverse association was found between HGS/BW and MetS score. Combining these anthropometric measures improved the prediction of metabolic alterations.
