PCOS has long been primarily perceived as a gynaecological or ovarian disorder; however, mounting research [has] shown that PCOS is underpinned by endocrine disturbances in insulin, androgens, and neuroendocrine and ovarian hormones. 1, record 1, English, - polyendocrine%20metabolic%20ovarian%20syndrome

polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome; PMOS; polycystic ovary syndrome; PCOS: "Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome" (PMOS) [was] previously named "polycystic ovary syndrome" (PCOS)[. The] term "PCOS" is inaccurate, implying pathological ovarian cysts, obscuring diverse endocrine and metabolic features, and contributing to delayed diagnosis, fragmented care, and stigma ... Preferred terms [are] "polyendocrine," "metabolic," and "ovarian," reflecting the condition's multisystem pathophysiology, and "polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome" [is] the consensus new name [since May 2026]. 1, record 1, English, - polyendocrine%20metabolic%20ovarian%20syndrome

Le syndrome des ovaires polykystiques (SOPK) est dû à un dérèglement hormonal d'origine ovarienne [ou centrale]. Il entraîne une production excessive d'hormones androgènes (habituellement produites en petite quantité dans l'organisme féminin) dont il résulte souvent une élévation du taux de testostérone dans le sang des femmes concernées. 2, record 1, French, - syndrome%20m%C3%A9tabolique%20ovarien%20polyendocrinien

syndrome métabolique ovarien polyendocrinien; SMOP; syndrome des ovaires polykystiques; SOPK : La dénomination initiale de cette maladie[, «syndrome des ovaires polykystiques»,] vient de sa description, effectuée dans les années 30, qui reposait sur l'observation de ce que l'on pensait être des kystes dans les ovaires des patientes. [...] Pour mieux refléter la réalité de cette maladie hormonale et métabolique complexe, elle a été renommée «syndrome métabolique ovarien polyendocrinien» (SMOP) en mai 2026. 2, record 1, French, - syndrome%20m%C3%A9tabolique%20ovarien%20polyendocrinien

En appliquant à une électrode métallique [...] une tension négative suffisante, on repousse les électrons que le semi-conducteur a en surplus et l'on arrive à inverser le type du silicium. Il devient P (porteur de charges positives) dans [...] le canal. Source et drain sont alors reliés par un canal de même type qu'eux, et le dispositif est conducteur (cela est le cas du MOS-P). 4, record 2, French, - transistor%20%C3%A0%20canal%20P
