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: This study aimed to determine the association between vaspin concentration and metabolic disorders in obese individuals. The results showed that serum vaspin concentrations were significantly higher in the obese group compared to the control group. The findings suggest that vaspin may be a useful diagnostic parameter for obesity-related complications.

Summary: The study found that there is a negative association between serum magnesium and insulin resistance index and testosterone level in women with PCOS. Lower levels of serum magnesium are correlated with worsened insulin resistance and higher testosterone levels.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic disorders caused by IR and adipose tissue dysfunction, increasing the risk of diabetes and CVD. While women originally had lower MetS prevalence compared to men, the rate is rising in younger women. Abdominal fat accumulation and IR are crucial factors in the pathogenesis of MetS.

Summary: Serum levels of 11-oxygenated androgens are higher in women with PCOS than in controls. However, these hormones show a poor performance in recognizing women with hyperandrogenism, as currently defined. The relationships of these androgens with insulin sensitivity strongly differ from that of FT, suggesting a different role of classic and 11-oxygenated androgens in the pathophysiology of PCOS.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that Black women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a greater tendency for adverse cardiometabolic risk profile compared to White women, despite lower triglyceride levels. These findings emphasize the importance of considering these disparities in diagnostic, monitoring, and management practices in Black women.

Summary: The study found that there is a difference in the risk of metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome between Black and White women, with Black women having a higher incidence rate. In addition to early cardiometabolic screening at the time of diagnosis, this population also requires ongoing and frequent screening.

Summary: In this paper, a flexible semiparametric curve registration model is introduced to estimate the time origin in observational studies. The model assumes a flexible common shape function for the longitudinal trajectories, characterized by a random curve registration function that represents person-specific disease progression patterns. The unknown time origin is modeled as a random start time, which is used to jointly model the longitudinal and survival data. The proposed models are proved to be asymptotically consistent and semiparametrically efficient. Simulation studies and real data applications demonstrate the effectiveness of this new approach.

Summary: This study examined how the severity of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) affects recurrent falls in middle-aged and older individuals. The results showed that older adults with radiographic evidence of KOA had a higher likelihood of experiencing recurrent falls compared to those without KOA, regardless of established risk factors. On the other hand, middle-aged adults with KOA did not have an increased odds of recurrent falls, except for those with possible KOA.

Summary: The study investigates the relationship between total skeletal muscle mass and incident fractures. The findings indicate that low D3Cr muscle mass is associated with an increased risk of hip and potentially other fractures in older men, and this association is partially mediated by physical performance.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between cumulative endogenous estrogen exposure and fracture risk. The findings showed that women with fewer years of endogenous estrogen exposure had a higher risk of fractures, while women with longer exposure had a lower risk. Women with irregular menstrual cycles were also at higher risk of lower extremity fractures.

Summary: This study assessed the associations between serum concentrations of cytokines and systemic immune biomarkers with the risk of prostate cancer. The results showed that the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Further research on the relationship between IL-10, inflammation, and prostate cancer development is warranted.

Summary: This study followed 135,743 postmenopausal women for 17.7 years and found that postmenopausal women with pelvic cancer, especially those who received pelvic radiation, have a higher risk of pelvic fracture and overall mortality. This suggests that prevention of pelvic fractures should be emphasized in pelvic cancer survivors, in addition to cancer treatment.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed economic evaluations of interventions for osteoporosis in men and found that anti-osteoporosis drugs and nutritional supplements are cost-effective for men with osteoporosis. In addition, screening strategies and post-fracture care programs also provide economic benefits for men. The cost-effectiveness and intervention thresholds were generally similar between men and women, with slightly higher incremental cost-effectiveness ratios in men.

Summary: A study found that self-reported sleep disturbances were associated with an increased risk of fractures across the menopausal transition. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, this association was largely attenuated, suggesting that shared risk factors or other factors in the causal pathway may contribute to the observed relationship.

Summary: In addition to the volume of physical activity, frequent breaks from sedentary behavior and active bouts can reduce the risk of falls and fractures. A study found that there is a long-term relationship between the frequency of breaks from sedentary behavior and the occurrence of recurrent falls and fractures. The study also concluded that breaking up extended periods of sedentary time can reduce fall risk, regardless of the total sedentary time.

Summary: Targeted fracture prevention strategies among late-life adults should consider both fracture risk and competing mortality risk. A machine learning method was used to evaluate risk factors and create models for hip fractures and competing mortality among adults aged 80 years and older. Random forest models were compared to Fine-Gray models with six variables. Top variables for predicting hip fractures were bone mineral density, while frailty was associated with competing mortality. Random forest models performed slightly better than Fine-Gray models for predicting mortality, but similarly for predicting hip fractures.
