Period poverty is a broad and complex issue that intersects with various areas, including health, education, infrastructure, and human rights, among others, affecting countless women and girls around the world. Despite remarkable technological, social, and economic advances this century, menstruation remains a taboo subject, which leads to widespread misinformation and stigma. Prejudice and a lack of access to knowledge and essential sanitation resources, such as clean water, hygiene products, and safe private spaces, heighten the vulnerability of those affected.

Obesity leads to menstrual dysfunction by impacting the "hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis" in women, which can result in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the PCOS and control groups were identified using a public database, By intersecting these DEGs with key module genes and obesity related genes (ORGs), we obtained 75 differentially expressed ORGs (DE-ORGs). Further screening using machine learning led to the identification of five potential diagnostic biomarkers: CPT1A, LARS2, GSTP1, TREX1, and PILRB.

Study Question: Do novel per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (Novel PFAS) have associations with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)?
Summary Answer: Hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA), perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA), and perfluoropentanesulfonic acid (PFPeS) are associated with an increased risk of POI, and the effect is worse with exposure to mixtures.
What Is Known Already: As public health concerns following Novel PFAS exposure are rising globally, there is a need to understand the exact association between Novel PFAS and various diseases. Epidemiologic studies suggest traditional PFAS exposures adversely affect women's reproductive health, but the association between exposure to Novel PFAS and POI remains unclear.

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a prevalent condition affecting a significant number of women globally. In Ethiopia, the intersection of cultural beliefs, limited health education, and resource availability may exacerbate challenges such as absenteeism and decreased academic performance among female students facing this condition. Understanding the lived experiences of these students and their coping mechanisms, as well as their impact on academic performance, is vital for developing targeted interventions and supporting them in improving their academic performance.
