I felt like she didn't take me seriously: a multi-methods study examining patient satisfaction and experiences with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Canada

Miya Ismayilova et al.

Summary: This study investigated the perceptions and experiences of PCOS diagnosis in Canada. The survey found that many patients were dissatisfied with the provided information about PCOS, lifestyle management, and medical therapy at the time of diagnosis. Delayed diagnosis and multiple doctor visits were common. Interview participants encountered doctors who lacked knowledge on PCOS, dismissed concerns, and did not provide necessary medical information. Younger patients often did not understand the significance of symptoms during adolescence, leading to delayed diagnoses. The study concludes that greater education on PCOS for physicians, particularly in primary care, is needed, and greater awareness of PCOS is necessary for the general population.

What can be done to improve polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) healthcare? Insights from semi-structured interviews with women in Canada

Miya Ismayilova et al.

Summary: This qualitative study explores women's experiences navigating the healthcare system in Canada and their insights on improving the care for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) based on their lived experiences. The results reveal the need for greater knowledge and awareness of PCOS in primary care physicians, increased PCOS awareness and destigmatization in the general community, and the availability of more resources and support for women with PCOS. The study highlights the overlooked and under-prioritized nature of PCOS in the Canadian healthcare system and general community.

Summary: This study used Flo app technology to analyze PCOS cases from 142 countries, finding bloating to be the most common symptom among PCOS patients and a main predictor of PCOS. High blood cholesterol and glucose levels were also top predictors. As BMI increased, the percentage of women reporting a physician-diagnosed PCOS also increased, except for women in India.

The relationships of sex hormone-binding globulin, total testosterone, androstenedione and free testosterone with metabolic and reproductive features of polycystic ovary syndrome

Pomme I. H. G. Simons et al.

Summary: A recent study found that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), total testosterone, and free testosterone may play a causal role in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The study investigated the associations of SHBG, androstenedione, total and free testosterone with metabolic and reproductive features of PCOS, revealing that SHBG is more related to metabolic features while total testosterone and androstenedione are more linked to reproductive features, indicating different pathophysiology underlying the syndrome's characteristics.

Artificial Intelligence Is Stupid and Causal Reasoning Will Not Fix It

J. Mark Bishop

Summary: Artificial Neural Networks have achieved remarkable success in various games and are widely used in the business world. When AI makes errors, it often leads to significant consequences, indicating the need for further development in AI technology. Some scholars suggest replacing deep learning with causal reasoning from the outset of system assembly to focus on essential concepts such as time, space, and causality.
