Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Endocrinology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Low birth weight, Small for gestational age and Hyperandrogenism. His Polycystic ovary, Insulin resistance, Hyperinsulinism, Precocious puberty and Body mass index investigations are all subjects of Internal medicine research. He interconnects Metformin and Dyslipidemia in the investigation of issues within Polycystic ovary.

Francis de Zegher works mostly in the field of Endocrinology, limiting it down to concerns involving Gestational age and, occasionally, Alpha-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase FTO. His Low birth weight study incorporates themes from Birth weight, Multicenter trial and Pediatrics. He combines subjects such as Gynecology, Cohort and Uterus with his study of Small for gestational age.

His most cited work include:

  • Precocious pubarche, hyperinsulinism, and ovarian hyperandrogenism in girls: relation to reduced fetal growth. (438 citations)
  • Early development of adiposity and insulin resistance after catch-up weight gain in small-for-gestational-age children. (411 citations)
  • Acute and prolonged critical illness as different neuroendocrine paradigms (328 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Insulin resistance, Polycystic ovary and Small for gestational age. In most of his Endocrinology studies, his work intersects topics such as Birth weight. His study in Birth weight is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Low birth weight, Gestational age and Obstetrics.

His Polycystic ovary research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sex hormone-binding globulin and Ovulation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Growth hormone treatment, Growth hormone and El Niño, Pediatrics, Short stature in addition to Small for gestational age. His Precocious puberty research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Adrenarche and Menarche.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (75.70%)
  • Endocrinology (73.71%)
  • Insulin resistance (19.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (75.70%)
  • Endocrinology (73.71%)
  • Polycystic ovary (17.93%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Polycystic ovary, Insulin resistance and Body mass index. As part of his studies on Internal medicine, Francis de Zegher often connects relevant subjects like Small for gestational age. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Offspring and Gestation.

The various areas that Francis de Zegher examines in his Polycystic ovary study include Metformin and Ovulation. His work carried out in the field of Insulin resistance brings together such families of science as Adipose tissue and Gastroenterology. Francis de Zegher combines subjects such as Birth weight and Type 2 diabetes with his study of Body mass index.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Central Obesity, Faster Maturation, and 'PCOS' in Girls. (22 citations)
  • Abnormal differentiation of B cells and megakaryocytes in patients with Roifman syndrome (20 citations)
  • Metformin for Rapidly Maturing Girls with Central Adiposity: Less Liver Fat and Slower Bone Maturation. (8 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Mutation

Francis de Zegher mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Obesity, Metformin and Polycystic ovary. Francis de Zegher performs multidisciplinary studies into Endocrinology and Weight gain in his work. His Obesity research integrates issues from Body mass index and Physiology.

He interconnects Birth weight and Insulin resistance in the investigation of issues within Body mass index. In his study, Randomized controlled trial, Adrenarche, Central Adiposity, Low birth weight and Bone maturation is inextricably linked to Visceral fat, which falls within the broad field of Metformin. His Polycystic ovary study incorporates themes from Ovulation and Pioglitazone.
