Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder among reproductive-age women. As a leading cause of anovulatory infertility, it complicates fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization. The widely accepted 2003 Rotterdam diagnostic criteria for PCOS include sub-phenotypes based on variations in androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology. In this systematic review, we examined the impacts of inositol and vitamin D on fertility in PCOS. Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, we used relevant keywords to comprehensively search databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and MDPI. From an initial pool of 345 articles, 10 met the inclusion criteria. The articles suggest that vitamin D and inositol, particularly myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, may represent therapeutic options for PCOS. Vitamin D influences ovarian follicular development, glucose regulation, and insulin sensitivity. When combined with metformin therapy, it is associated with improved menstrual regularity and ovulation. Inositol is crucial for cellular signaling, energy metabolism, glucose regulation, and fertility. This systematic review underscores the importance of investigating inositol and vitamin D within a PCOS management strategy, given the disorder’s prevalence and impacts on fertility and metabolic health. Although these agents show promise, additional research could clarify their mechanisms of action and therapeutic benefits. This review emphasizes the need for exploration of effective treatments to improve the quality of life among individuals with PCOS. Inositol and vitamin D represent potential options, but more studies are required to elucidate their roles in the management of this condition.

This study investigated the impact of online shopping addiction on compulsive buying behaviour and life satisfaction write among students which include both male and females from different cities of Pakistan. The purpose of the study was to find scientifically that whether online shopping addiction has impact on compulsive buying behaviour and life satisfaction or not. Research participants were 300 individuals, 150 males and 150 females with age range of 20 to 30 years. The study is quantitative in nature. Purposive sampling technique has been used. The online shopping addiction scale. Compulsive buying behaviour screening tool by maccarrone-eaglen and schofield in 2017 and the satisfaction with life scale by diener, emmons, larsen and griffin in 1985 were administered on the participants. To test the hypothesis, descriptive statistics, linear regression, Pearson bivariate correlation and t test, were used. The findings of present study highlights that online shopping addiction is strong predictor of compulsive buying behaviour and life satisfaction. It also indicated that online shopping addiction and compulsive buying behaviour are having significant positive correlation between them while online shopping addiction and compulsive buying behaviour have significant negative correlation with life satisfaction. The results also show that female students have higher score on online shopping addiction and compulsive buying behaviour while male students have higher score on life satisfaction. Hypothetical and actual results are closely related.
