Brown Adipose Tissue Metabolism in Women is Dependent on Ovarian Status
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Mar 13. doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00077.2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn rodents, loss of estradiol (E2) reduces brown adipose tissue (BAT) metabolic activity. Whether E2 impacts BAT activity in women is not known. BAT oxidative metabolism was measured in premenopausal (N=27, 35±9 years, body mass index (BMI) = 26.0±5.3 kg/m2) and postmenopausal (N=25, 51±8 years, BMI = 28.0±5.0 kg/m2) women at room temperature (RT) and during acute cold exposure using [11C]-acetate with positron emission tomography coupled with computed tomography (PET/CT). BAT glucose uptake was also measured duri...

The Risks and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Endocrinology
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Mar 12:dgae017. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgae017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArtificial intelligence (AI) holds the promise of addressing many of the numerous challenges healthcare faces, which include a growing burden of illness, an increase in chronic health conditions and disabilities due to aging and epidemiological changes, higher demand for health services, overworked and burned-out clinicians, greater societal expectations, and rising health expenditures. While technological advancements in processing power, memory, storage, and the abundance of data have empowered computers to handle inc...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 333: Health Expenditure, Institutional Quality, and Under-Five Mortality in Sub-Saharan African Countries
onese The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between health expenditure, institutional quality, and under-five mortality rates in sub-Saharan African countries. Specifically, the study seeks to explore the mediating role of institutional quality in this relationship, focusing on understanding how variations in healthcare spending and institutional frameworks impact child health outcomes. By examining these dynamics, the study aims to provide valuable insights that can inform evidence-based policy interventions to reduce under-five mortality and improve child health outcomes in the region. Utilizing data s...

Are Resting Metabolic Rate and Clinical Symptoms Affected by Variation of Serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Levels within the Normal Range in Healthy and Women with Hypothyroidism? A Case-Control Study
It is unclear whether variation in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels within the reference range affect energy expenditure and clinical symptoms and even within the normal range of TSH levels, resting energy expenditure may alter. The aim of the present study was to determine whether treated hypothyroid subjects and healthy subjects with a low-normal TSH range (0.3 –2.3 mIU/L) have better clinical outcomes and increased energy expenditure than those with a high-normal TSH range (2.3–4.3 mIU/L).

Comparison of energy expenditure of individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the sitting posture on the ground and in water
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most frequent muscular dystrophies in childhood [1], with an estimated incidence of 1 in every 3,500-6,000 boys [2]. DMD causes several complications due to progressive muscle weakness, affecting cardiopulmonary functions and the ability to ambulate [2,3]. (Source: Neuromuscular Disorders)
