The effects of a low-carbohydrate diet on appetite: A randomized controlled trial.

Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The relationship between dietary macronutrient composition and appetite is controversial. We examined the effects of a year-long low-carbohydrate diet compared to a low-fat diet on appetite-related hormones and self-reported chan...

Long-term clinical and functional impact of biliopancreatic diversion on type 2 diabetes in morbidly and non-morbidly obese patients.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
SETTING: Obesity surgery has been proposed as a treatment option for diabetic patients with body mass index (BMI)<35 kg/m(2), but the efficacy of metabolic surgery has not been conclusively determined.

Robotic infrarenal paraaortic and pelvic nodal staging for endometrial cancer: feasibility and lymphatic complications.

Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica
INTRODUCTION: This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and lymphatic complications of robotic pelvic and infrarenal paraaortic lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer patients.

A systematic comparison of feature space effects on disease classifier performance for phenotype identification of five diseases.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Automated phenotype identification plays a critical role in cohort selection and bioinformatics data mining. Natural Language Processing (NLP)-informed classification techniques can robustly identify phenotypes in unstructured medical notes. In this ...

Continence outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in patients with adverse urinary continence risk factors.

BJU international
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the continence outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in suboptimal patients that have challenging continence recovery factors such as enlarged prostates, elderly patients, higher body mass index (BMI), salvage ...

Obesity and perioperative pulmonary complications in robotic gynecologic surgery.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Robotic gynecological surgery is feasible in obese patients, but there remain concerns about the safety of this approach because the positioning required for pelvic surgery can exacerbate obesity-related changes in respiratory physiology. ...

Functional evaluation of out-of-the-box text-mining tools for data-mining tasks.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: The trade-off between the speed and simplicity of dictionary-based term recognition and the richer linguistic information provided by more advanced natural language processing (NLP) is an area of active discussion in clinical informatics. ...

Appraisal of adaptive neuro-fuzzy computing technique for estimating anti-obesity properties of a medicinal plant.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
This research examines the precision of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy computing technique in estimating the anti-obesity property of a potent medicinal plant in a clinical dietary intervention. Even though a number of mathematical functions such as SPSS an...
