PMID: 32778539.In brief: This cross-sectional analysis of a nationally representative US sample showed that 25.5% of US children and adolescents (10.6 million in 2016) are eligible for screening for diabetes according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria. The eligibility criteria showed l...

Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2019; 7: 231–40. DOI: 10.1016/S2213-587(19)30026-9• This study uses quantitative data from reputable global data sets to demonstrate that the epidemiology of obesity can be framed as a conceptual model of obesity transition.• A new framework to classify the obesity epidemic is proposed that may assist policy makers and r...

Brief Summary: This narrative review summarized 75 published studies on reproductive function in survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). 41 papers reported on 5057 female HL survivors. Most young female survivors had regular menstrual cycles. The incidence of premature ovarian failure (POI) varied between 6-34%. Biochemical evidence for impaired ovarian reserve or function was frequent (low AMH 55–59%. elevated FSH 17–100%). 51 stud...

Brief summary: This single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study compared the prevalence of gonadal insufficiency and infertility among 58 pubertal, post pubertal and young adult survivors of hematopoietic stem cell Transplantation (HSCT), treated with conditioning regimens of different intensity.Gonadal insufficiency or infertility affects almost all HSCT survivors who received a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen. In recent years, reduced-...

Existing IGHG surveillan...

Brief Summary: This study investigated genetic factors influencing normal variation in TSH levels (range 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L) through a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 247,107 European ancestry individuals. It identified 260 independent sentinel variants, of which 158 are novel. These variants explained 22.8% of TSH variance within the adult reference interval, implicating 112 putative causal genes, 76 of which had not been previously linked to TSH regulation...
