Background: Obesity is a chronic disease linked to over 200 health conditions, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. Despite the availability of multimodal treatments, there is a lack of standardised, patient-centred outcome measures to effectively assess and improve clinical care. This project aimed to define a core set of standardised outcome measures for adults with obesity, incorpo

Microplastic (MP) pollution is increasingly recognized as a critical issue in coastal environments, where complex interactions between ocean currents, winds, waves, and human activities govern the transport and deposition of synthetic particles. Although previous studies in Asia have documented MPs accumulation linked to riverine discharge, tourism pressures, and monsoonal circulation, limited wor

The field of high energy physics (HEPs) has seen a marked increase in the use of machine learning (ML) techniques in recent years. The proliferation of applications has revolutionised many aspects of the data processing pipeline at collider experiments including the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this whitepaper, we discuss the increasingly crucial role that ML plays in real-time analysis (RTA) a

Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer (CRC) is a metastatic condition associated with poor prognosis. Tumor dissemination within the peritoneal cavity is influenced by inflammatory responses, immune activation, and tumor-matrix interactions, particularly following surgical trauma. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC

BACKGROUND: Patients perceive high levels of weight prejudice, stigma, and discrimination within health systems, affecting their ability to manage their obesity and related chronic conditions. Scientific and patient obesity associations worldwide have prioritized the reduction of weight stigma to improve patient experiences in health systems and overall health outcomes. Since a significant proport

The lack of standardization in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has made measurement and comparison of quality of life (QoL) outcomes in research focused on obesity treatment challenging. This study reports on the results of the second and third global multidisciplinary Standardizing Quality of life measures in Obesity Treatment (S.Q.O.T.) consensus meetings, where a core set of PROMs to

PURPOSE: The focus of measuring success in obesity treatment is shifting from weight loss to patients' health and quality of life. The objective of this study was to select a core set of patient-reported outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures to be used in clinical obesity care.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Standardizing Quality of Life in Obesity Treatment III, face-to-face hybrid consensus

Background Previous studies of minimally invasive liver surgery described results and experiences in high-volume centres and early adopters, but data on national levels are lacking. This study evaluated the implementation and outcomes of minimally invasive liver surgery in Sweden over a 15-year period, with a focus on colorectal liver metastases. Methods Data from patients undergoing liver surgery

Selective TDP-43 overexpression in oxytocin neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus causes a decrease in oxytocin-immunopositive cells compared to uninjected mice. AAV-mediated TDP-43 overexpression in oxytocin neurons does not appear to be a major driver of behavioural and metabolic phenotypes in mice.

PURPOSE: To develop Mexico's first methodologically rigorous clinical practice guideline for the management of adult overweight and obesity. The target audiences are interdisciplinary healthcare professionals across healthcare systems who are the first point of contact for patients with obesity in Mexico, patients, and health system decision makers.RECENT FINDINGS: A review of recent international

BACKGROUND: An international panel of obesity medicine experts from multiple professional organizations examined patterns of obesity care and current obesity treatment guidelines to identify areas requiring updating in response to emerging science and clinical evidence.AIMS: The panel focused on multiple medical health and societal issues influencing effective treatment of obesity and identified s

Background: The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare centralized the surgical care of patients with anorectal malformations from four to two centres in 2018. This retrospective review compares short-term complications after anorectal reconstruction before and after centralization. Methods: Hospital records of all infants in Sweden who underwent reconstruction of an anorectal malformation b
