Multi-view radiomics and dosiomics analysis with machine learning for predicting acute-phase weight loss in lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
We propose a multi-view data analysis approach using radiomics and dosiomics (R&D) texture features for predicting acute-phase weight loss (WL) in lung cancer radiotherapy. Baseline weight of 388 patients who underwent intensity modulated radiation t...

Laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADJB-SG): Surgical risk and long-term results.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Single-anastomosis duodeno-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADJB-SG) was developed as a simplified technique of DJB-SG, but long-term data are lacking.

Higher serum levels of fibroblast growth factor 21 in old patients with cachexia.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)21 is promptly induced by short fasting in animal models to regulate glucose and fat metabolism. Data on FGF21 in humans are inconsistent and FGF21 has not yet been investigated in old patients with cachexia, ...

Can the artificial intelligence technique of reinforcement learning use continuously-monitored digital data to optimize treatment for weight loss?

Journal of behavioral medicine
Behavioral weight loss (WL) trials show that, on average, participants regain lost weight unless provided long-term, intensive-and thus costly-intervention. Optimization solutions have shown mixed success. The artificial intelligence principle of "re...

Effect of a short-term physical activity intervention on liver fat content in obese children.

Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease and can present with advanced fibrosis or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 7-day intense physical activity interventio...

Resolution of type 2 diabetes after sleeve gastrectomy: a 2-step hypothesis.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Weight loss (WL) and altered gut hormonal levels are involved in glucose homeostasis after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Comparing clinician descriptions of frailty and geriatric syndromes using electronic health records: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Geriatric syndromes, including frailty, are common in older adults and associated with adverse outcomes. We compared patients described in clinical notes as "frail" to other older adults with respect to geriatric syndrome burden and healt...

Effects of Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension diet on androgens, antioxidant status and body composition in overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a randomised controlled trial.

Journal of human nutrition and dietetics : the official journal of the British Dietetic Association
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in reproductive age women. The present study aimed to determine the effects of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on reproductive hormones, plasma tota...

Early Australian experience in robotic sleeve gastrectomy: a single site series.

ANZ journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: The use of robotic platforms in bariatric surgery has recently gained relevance. With an increased use of this technology come concerns regarding learning curve effects during the initial implementation phase. The sleeve gastrectomy thoug...
