    Abstract Obesity has been associated with a multitude of medical comorbidities, infertility, and adverse obstetric outcomes. Weight stigma and weight bias pervade not only the medical field but also education, employment, and activities of daily living. The experience of weight stigma has been shown to adversely impact not only the mental health of individuals with overweight or obesity but also worsen obesogenic behaviors, and medical comorbidities. This review frames the rise of weight stigma and weight bias within the context of the "obesity epidemic" and explores its associations with infertility and decreased access to health care and its subsequent impact on the lives of individuals. Furthermore, it explores the concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic weight stigma/bias and highlights the need for further examination and research into the impact of these factors on access to reproductive medicine and subsequent outcomes.

    Abstract DNA methylation marks have recently been used to build models known as "epigenetic clocks" which predict calendar age. As methylation of cytosine promotes C-to-T mutations, we hypothesized that the methylation changes observed with age should reflect the accrual of somatic mutations, and the two should yield analogous aging estimates. In analysis of multimodal data from 9,331 human individuals, we find that CpG mutations indeed coincide with changes in methylation, not only at the mutated site but also with pervasive remodeling of the methylome out to ±10 kilobases. This one-to-many mapping enables mutation-based predictions of age that agree with epigenetic clocks, including which individuals are aging faster or slower than expected. Moreover, genomic loci where mutations accumulate with age also tend to have methylation patterns that are especially predictive of age. These results suggest a close coupling between the accumulation of sporadic somatic mutations and the widespread changes in methylation observed over the course of life.

    Abstract Migraine surgeons have identified six "trigger sites" where cranial nerve compression may trigger a migraine. This study investigates the change in headache severity and frequency following nerve block of the occipital trigger site. This PRISMA-compliant systematic review of five databases searched from database inception through May 2020 is registered under the PROSPERO ID: CRD42020199369. Only randomized controlled trials utilizing injection treatments for headaches with pain or tenderness in the occipital scalp were included. Pain severity was scored from 0 to 10. Headache frequency was reported as days per week. Included were 12 RCTs treating 586 patients of mean ages ranging from 33.7 to 55.8 years. Meta-analyses of pain severity comparing nerve blocks to baseline showed statistically significant reductions of 2.88 points at 5 to 20 min, 3.74 points at 1 to 6 weeks, and 1.07 points at 12 to 24 weeks. Meta-analyses of pain severity of nerve blocks compared with treatment groups of neurolysis, pulsed radiofrequency, and botulinum toxin type A showed similar headache pain severity at 1 to 2 weeks, and inferior improvements compared with the treatment groups after 2 weeks. Meta-analyses of headache frequency showed statistically significant reductions at 1 to 6-week follow-ups as compared with baseline and at 1 to 6 weeks as compared with inactive control injections. The severity and frequency of occipital headaches are reduced following occipital nerve blocks. This improvement is used to predict the success of migraine surgery. Future research should investigate spinous process injections with longer follow-up.

    Abstract Circulating melatonin is elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); whether circadian disruptions coincide with sleep disturbances in women with PCOS or their symptom severity is unclear. The objective of this observational pilot study was to determine whether altered patterns of melatonin excretion are associated with reduced sleep quality in women with versus without PCOS. Participants underwent a clinical assessment, transvaginal ultrasound, and reproductive hormone testing. Morning and evening urine samples were assayed for urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (MEL) as a proxy for melatonin production. The night (morning MEL)-to-day (evening MEL) ratio, or N:D ratio, was determined to approximate the rhythm of MEL production. Sleep quality and duration were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and wrist actigraphy. No differences were detected in overnight MEL, daytime MEL, or the N:D ratio in participants with PCOS versus controls. The PCOS group experienced reduced weekend sleep efficiency vs. controls (81% vs. 88%
