Article Abstract
This review examines the changing interpretation of obesity in art throughout history. From prehistoric times, where weight symbolized fertility and abundance, to modern periods where it was linked to morality, sin, or decadence, art has mirrored evolving societal views on the human body. These representations reflect shifts in cultural, social, and economic values, illustrating how perceptions of health, beauty, and morality have transformed through time. By analyzing art, we gain insight into how different eras defined the human body, highlighting art's crucial role in shaping and reflecting these changing interpretations.

Pregnancy affects adiposity, which may be influenced by HIV infection or antiretroviral therapy (ART). The objective of this study was to examine adiposity measures in the perinatal period, by HIV status and ART class. A total of 214 women (113 women with HIV [WWH], 71 initiated ART postconception), enrolled between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation and followed until 6-12 months postpartum, were assessed for longitudinal weight and cross-sectional postpartum anthropometry.

Background: Despite improved health and survival due to lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART), women living with HIV (WHIV) still face lower life expectancy, partly due to increased non-communicable disease (NCD) risk. Both HIV and NCDs are linked to adverse birth outcomes, yet data on their combined impact are limited. We investigated NCD burden by HIV status and compared adverse birth outcomes in pregnant WHIV only versus HIV-NCD comorbidity in Cape Town, South Africa.

The present State of the Art Review will take stock of targeting the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the management of hypertension and vascular diseases. Major efforts have been made in the last thirty years to develop compounds modulating the ECS for diseases, both in the central and peripheral tissues. Agonists of the cannabinoid receptor CB1 elicited hypotension but were at strong risks of inducing tachycardia, heart and kidney damage.

Background: Infertility is a growing global challenge, with ARTs significantly improving birth rates for infertile couples. However, ART conceptions are associated with a higher risk of negative obstetrical and perinatal outcomes, with potential long-term effects on offspring health. Many pre-implantation embryos exhibit abnormal morphokinetics, implantation failure, or arrested development.
