Objective: To describe the oral health status of patients with obesity and to explore the socio-demographic characteristics, comorbidities, lifestyle habits (tobacco, alcohol, sweet/acidic diet), and saliva parameters most associated with the dental caries experience. Material and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 204 patients' data with obesity attending a therapeutic education programme. Caries experience (number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth [DMFT]), periodontal status, oral hygiene, occlusal tooth wear, masticatory inefficiency, and saliva parameters were recorded.

One of the complications of extreme obesity is massive localized lymphedema (MLL), due to compromised lymphatic drainage. There is a lack of literature guiding the medical management of these conditions.

- * The French Endocrine Society and associated organizations created a reference document to address the complexities of managing these tumors, which can recur and lead to serious health issues, including impaired quality of life for patients, especially those with hypothalamic syndrome.
- * Recent research has identified two tumor types—papillary and adamantinomatous—with different molecular signatures and treatment strategies, prompting ongoing developments in therapeutic options, including new medications for associated symptoms like hyperphagia.
Importance: A major issue in the management of craniopharyngioma-related obesity (CRO) is the ineffectiveness of the current therapeutic approaches.
Objective: To study the efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 analogs compared with placebo in adults with obesity CRO.
Design: A double-blind multicenter superiority randomized clinical in trial in two parallel arms.
Context: Obesity is accompanied by damages to several tissues, including the brain. Pathological data and animal models have demonstrated an increased inflammatory reaction in hypothalamus and hippocampus.
Objective: We tested whether we could observe such pathological modifications in vivo through quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics.
