SC deprecates 'regressive' two-finger test on rape victims

The Supreme Court on Monday deprecated the "regressive" and "invasive" practice of the 'two-finger test' on rape survivors and said it has no scientific basis and instead re-victimizes women who may have been sexually assaulted, and is an affront to their dignity.

The 'two-finger test' is conducted on victims of sexual assault and rape to determine whether they are habituated to sexual intercourse.

The top court said it is "patriarchal" and "sexist" to suggest that a woman cannot be believed when she states that she was raped, merely for the reason that she is sexually active.

Metformin improves clinical and metabolic parameters of women with PCOS

Metformin usage has beneficial effect on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women by decreasing body weight, total testosterone, BMI, androstenedione, LDL-C, 17-OHP, fasting blood glucose, and raising the chance of pregnancy, says an article published in Therapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism by SAGE Journals.

With a frequency of up to 20%, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a diverse endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age. Menstrual abnormalities, polycystic ovarian morphology, and excess androgen are biochemical and clinical hallmarks of PCOS. The primary glucose and lipid homeostasis cell regulator AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is stimulated by metformin, decreases hepatic glucose synthesis. Inhibition of glucose in the hepatocytes is linked to AMPK activation. This research was done by Mohammed Altigani Abdalla and colleagues. to conduct a thorough assessment of the literature on the therapeutic effects of metformin on the clinical and metabolic parameters in PCOS-affected women.
