Primary amenorrhea may be caused by pituitary and a number of other endocrine disorders. Investigators studied when a diagnosis of underlying Turner syndrome may be suspected.

Obesity and its related complications are a risk factor for adverse outcomes in people who contract COVID-19 infection. Investigators studied whether losing weight improved outcomes in people who lost weight after weight reduction surgery.

Intermittent fasting has demonstrated health benefits in a number of randomized clinical trials. Researchers sough to directly link specific health outcomes from these trials in people with overweight or obesity.

The severity of illness in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and serum thyroid levels were analyzed by investigators.

Based on previous studies showing that breastfeeding decreases maternal risk for other diseases, researchers sought to determine if there is a similar effect on risk for CVD.

Investigators assessed the associations between body mass index and risk for early-onset colorectal neoplasia among younger adults.

Researchers conducted an indirect treatment comparison of semaglutide 2.0 mg with dulaglutide 3.0 mg or 4.5 mg to observe which was superior in lowering HbA1c and body weight in people with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes and thyroid disease often coexist in patients with the disorders, but the connection between new onset diabetes with thyroid dysfunction is unclear. Investigators looked for the link.

Investigators sought to determine the rate of transient congenital hypothyroidism in infants diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism with eutopic thyroid and to analyze the potential predictors of transient congenital hypothyroidism in early infancy.

Although risk factors of sarcopenia in people with diabetes have been analyzed, more comprehensive investiagion is needed to show the connection between the two diseases. Researchers sough to explore the link.

In a nationwide register-based cohort study, researchers assessed the prevalence and incidence of Parkinson disease among patients screened for diabetic retinopathy.

The relationship between obesity and sunburn diagnosed during a medical examination is examined.

The effect of cholecalciferol supplementation on parathyroid hormone levels and bone loss at the lumbar spine in kidney transplant recipients was studied in a placebo-controlled trial.

Investigators evaluated whether maximum body mass index before onset of type 2 diabetes could predict progressive diabetic retinopathy or diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Investigators assessed the incidence of mortality and other clinical outcomes among patients with various histologic stages of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Investigators studied whether diets higher in insulinemic potential were associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and overall mortality.

Impaired quality of life in people following hypoparathyroidism surgery and treatment is increasingly acknowledged. Researchers analyzed this with a questionnaire.

The recurrence of thyroid cancer is traditionally predicted using clinical tools. A more detailed way to predict recurrence is currently being researched.

Hormones taken by transgender people may affect glucose metabolism and lower insulin resistance. Investigators studied whether this increased the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Exercise slows bone loss and increases bone density in people at risk for osteoporosis, but which exercises are most effective are unclear. Investigators sought the answer.

Graves disease can alter the medial temporal lobe. Researchers sought to observe whether therapeutic interventions could restore normal brain structure.

Investigators examined whether GNAS mutations on melanocortin 4 receptor signaling contributed to severe childhood obesity.

Exercise helps cardiovascular and other physical and clinical outcomes in type 2 diabetes, but the amount and intensity of the exercise needed to make a difference is debated.

Investigators studied whether primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with arrhythmia or other cardiac conduction abnormalities as shown on electrocardiogram.

Prediabetes can put postmenopausal women at risk for cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and osteoporosis. Investigators sought to determine the effect of bisphosphonates’ effect (such as alendronate) on lipid profiles.

Age and menopause may contribute to bone fracture risk in women, but the rate may vary by race and ethnicity. Researchers studied changes in bone mineral density in Black and White women to discover if race had an impact on bone loss.

The COVID-19 vaccine is particularly recommended for people with chronic conditions like type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Researchers sought to find out if the vaccine caused a change in glycemic control.

Hypothyroidism is common in people with affective disorders, and psychiatric drugs may increase thyroid dysfunction. Researchers explored the difference in the age of onset of affective disorders and hypothyroidism.

Drugs considered immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are used to treat a number of cancers. Researchers studied their affect on thyroid function.

People with type 2 diabetes have a high risk of catching pneumonia. Researchers sought to discover which drugs made people more susceptible to this serious lung infection.
