Domani: Da Pcos a Pmos, le parole sono importanti: ma la modifica non è solo nel nome della patologia
La rivista scientifica The Lancet, grazie a un’iniziativa partita dall’endocrinologa Helena Teede, annuncia che, quella che abbiamo sempre chiamato “sindrome dell’ovaio policistico”, cambierà nome – nonché modi di essere curata – diventando “sindrome poliendocrina metabolica dell’ovaio”
From PCOS to PMS, the words are important, but the change isn’t just in the name of the condition.
The scientific journal The Lancet, thanks to an initiative by endocrinologist Helena Teede, announces that what we have always called “polycystic ovary syndrome” will change its name – as well as its methods of treatment – becoming “polyphenocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome.”
Polycystic ovary syndrome (#PCOS) was officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (#PMOS) on May 12, 2026,. This change, published in The #Lancet and announced at the European Congress of Endocrinology, followed a rigorous 14-year global consensus process. The update aims to reduce stigma, improve diagnosis, and accurately reflect the condition's complex, multi-system nature beyond just the ovaries.
This is huge news for women, as it’s estimated that up to a third of women experience some PMOS symptoms. The previous nomenclature meant that many women were not being diagnosed correctly. As a matter of #bioethics of women’s treatment, this is a big sea change. As to how it changes medical professional’s approach, we will have to determine.

Dr Karl interview with Professor Ollie Jay talking about a report Jay co-authoured in The Lancet on the topic of effects on health and productivity of the increased heat in the planet. Pretty shocking, very interesting, very worth a listen.

'... Just imagine if you were to select panellists with different perspectives: they might push the conversation in an uncomfortable direction or accidentally make the panel interesting. Play it safe; who has time to be bold in global health anyways? ...'
Claims on Exercise for Long COVID Were “Overly Assertive,” Agree Meta-Analysis Authors
By David Tuller, DrPH *This is a crowdfunding month at UC Berkeley. If you’d like to support my work, the link is here. I posted two days ago that a Lancet journal, eClinicalMedicine, had just published a letter of mine, as well as an unsatisfactory corrigendum to the study I had criticized. That study, “Effects of therapeutic interventions on long COVID: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials,” from Tan et al, reported “high-certainty evidence” in favor of exercise interventions, and suggested they “should be prioritized.” My letter challenged that perspective. The corrigendum related to just one concern I had raised, and I found it unsatisfactory. As it turned out, the record wasn’t complete. I had assumed the corrigendum was, in effect, the response to my letter. But at some point since then, the journal posted a direct response to my letter from the meta-analysis authors, in which they thanked me for my observations, among other remarks. Here is one passage from their response that jumps out: “We must acknowledge that certain expressions used in our writing, such as “high-certainty evidence” and “should be prioritized,” may have come across as overly assertive and could potentially lead to misinterpretation by readers. It would indeed have been more appropriate to phrase these as “evidence of moderate certainty” or “may be considered a preferred option.” We deeply appreciate your valuable feedback regarding these less precise formulations. Your comments contribute significantly to the rigor of academic discourse.” I’m glad the authors agree that they should have toned down their language, although their substitute phrasings are still too positive, in my view. What I find especially perplexing is that they had an opportunity to fix these conclusions with the corrigendum—and they didn’t. As it stands, the article continues to assert that there is “high-certainty evidence” for exercise …
