Experts reach consensus to rename polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), better reflecting the condition’s full health impacts.

Interesting to see reactions on the #PCOSnamechange
Mixed feelings from me, although this is incredibly positive to see and reassuring, i just hope the transition doesn’t create confusion while the awareness catches up.

You’re bored because you’re not doing side quests, man.

Life is more than just working and then throwing yourself into bed doing nothing.

Here are 50 side quests to complete:

It's my favourite day of the year - the shortest. Everything gets lighter from now on 🥰

[Nirosha J. Murugan @niroshajmurugan]

Your cells (and not just the ones in your brain) remember.

Fat cells retain an “obesogenic memory” after weight loss: an energetic imprint that primes them to store again.

Viewed through the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP), this is a regulatory strategy for energy efficiency.

Rather than burning energy to reprogram tissues after each feast or famine (a costly, entropy-generating process that amplifies éR) the body encodes past flux into stable epigenetic states. This avoids unnecessary resistance, minimizes entropic waste, and optimizes energy flow.

This is LTP for fat cells: a form of long-term potentiation outside the brain. A kind of somatic “energetic” memory that spares the system from future resistance overload.

What other tissues might hold similar efficiency-promoting memories? What flux imprints are shaping your physiology right now?

In this one, a non-weight-loss-induced remission of prediabetes protected from type 2 diabetes development for up to 10 years after the intervention started, something that was characterized by increased subcutaneous adipose tissue—compared to nonremission where visceral adipose tissue increased—and was mediated by improvements in insulin sensitivity and secretion.

Adult Obesity Pharmacotherapy Summary

[Abd Tahrani @AbdTahrani]

No one can deny the impact of obesity and its treatments on people lives. But I find it extremely unfortunate when I see HCPs demonising obesity treatments. The impact of these treatments on health and QoL is undeniable. And demonising effective treatment options is unethical ⬇️

@FareehaJay This looks amazing! 😋
