Among the top stories in endocrinology is a Norwegian study showing that twice-yearly group sessions designed to teach lifestyle modifications did not decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Men with severe obesity and hypogonadism experienced an increase in testosterone, prostate-specific antigen and a reduction in serum estradiol after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Other stories include a report that osteoporosis could independently cause sudden hearing loss, male thyroid cancer survivors are twice as likely to develop heart disease as women, and a plant-based diet may prevent obesity in middle-aged and older adults.
