A Tale of Two Choices: Son Preference and Reproductive Outcomes in Uzbekistan

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we use data from the recent round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) conducted between 2021 and 2022 to estimate the effect of son preference on reproductive behavior in Uzbekistan. We find strong evidence for differential stopping and spacing behavior among Uzbek women.

Metabolic pattern across energy imbalance: An exploratory metabolomics study of female body weight extremes including anorexia nervosa and athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In anorexia nervosa (AN), prolonged metabolic adaptation to severe energy deficiency can impair treatment efficacy. Similarly, low energy availability poses a recognized risk to athletes, potentially compromising health and performance. This cross‐sectional study aimed to characterize the plasma metabolic pattern of females with varying ...

Microvascular endothelial function is blunted in postmenopausal females with frequent hot flushes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hot flushes of menopause are associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) and diminished macrovascular endothelial function, an initiating factor in the onset of atherosclerosis. Whether microvascular endothelial function is impaired in females with hot flushes, however, remains unknown.

Six weeks of high‐intensity interval training improve autonomic and metabolic responses in active postmenopausal women

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study analysed the effects of a supervised high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) programme on metabolic flexibility and autonomic function in active postmenopausal women. Twenty women (66.6 ± 6.2 years; 67.9 ± 11.1 kg) completed a 6‐week cycling HIIT intervention consisting of three weekly sessions (20 min/session).

Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 10, Page 2181-2198, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

A Ketogenic Diet Followed by Gradual Carbohydrate Reintroduction Restores Menstrual Cycles in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with Oligomenorrhea Independent of Body Weight Loss: Results from a Single-Center, One-Arm, Pilot Study

Metabolites
Background/Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women of fertile age. Some studies suggest that a ketogenic diet (KD) may have a role in treating PCOS.

Diagnostic Discordance in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Hysteroscopy Resolves Ultrasound–MRI Disagreement in Septate Uterus, but Concurrent Ovulation Induction Precludes Causal Attribution of the Reproductive Outcome

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Congenital uterine anomalies are an important and potentially treatable contributor to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). The septate uterus is the commonest Müllerian anomaly linked to first‐trimester loss, and its differentiation from the benign arcuate uterus is essential for management, yet imaging modalities may disagree.

Ovarian and uterine maturity assessed by pelvic ultrasound scanning in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa at the start of treatment – correlation with the history of menstruation

Psychiatria i Psychologia Kliniczna, 2010
In females, absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles when otherwise expected to occur or cessation of pubescence (primary and secondary amenorrhea) are the symptoms of anorexia nervosa, secondary to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism ...
