From PCOS to PMOS: What the name change to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome means for women’s health

PMOS is not primarily a disease of the ovaries. Its new name reflects the condition’s more complex and cyclical endocrine and metabolic features.

“I think a lot of the ads are looking to treat ‘desperate men’ who are looking for anything to try to improve relationships or self-esteem or sexual function,” Campbell said.”

Erectile dysfunction ads are targeting young men. But many don’t need the meds, experts say | CBC

Euphemistic ads for ED medication are as old as the internet, but in recent years, direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical companies are using memes and unmistakable messaging to reach young men concerned about their sexual health on social media. Doctors caution young men often only need medication after steps like lifestyle changes haven’t improved sexual health and performance.

"With 30 or 40 years of research, we've realized that this is more about hormones and metabolism, not just about the ovary."

A hormonal condition that affects tens of millions of women is being renamed. Here's why that's important | CBC News

After more than a decade of discussion and debate, polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, will now be called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. It's hoped the name change will mean earlier diagnosis, an approach toward holistic treatments and more awareness of lesser known symptoms of the chronic hormonal disorder.

Great work by my colleagues at the WCVM.
Will have real impact on cattle production.

There are sure signs of spring on the Canadian Prairies — snow melting, pelicans splashing down in the South Saskatchewan River, and the sight of brand-new calves taking shaky first steps in the field.

How the virus that causes COVID-19 can infect and damage the placenta.

Using a cell model SARS-CoV-2 infection caused significant reduction in the survival and differentiation of syncytiotrophoblast cells, which led to lower production of the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) - needed for early pregnancy maintenance.

How COVID-19 crosses the placenta: Study uses lab-grown placental tissue to model infection

In a study published in Nature Cell Biology, Australian researchers, led by Professor Jose Polo from Monash University and the University of Adelaide and University of Melbourne's Professor Kanta Subbarao from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), have revealed how COVID-19 can infect the human placenta.
