Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to measure meniscal extrusion in knee osteoarthritis patients using ultrasound in both supine and standing positions, then compare these results to magnetic resonance imaging findings.
- Involving 60 patients, the study found that ultrasound provided higher measurements of medial and lateral meniscal extrusion while standing, compared to both supine ultrasound and MRI.
- The results indicated that ultrasound is more effective than MRI for quantifying meniscal extrusion, particularly highlighting the significance of measuring in weight-bearing positions for accurate assessment.
Objective: To compare food intake and eating behaviour in children and adolescents with obesity (OBE) undergoing weight loss intervention and normal weight (NW) in a real-life Snack Scenario.
Methods: Sixty OBE were examined before (T0) and after weight loss (T1) and compared to a single measurement comparison group of 27 NW. Participants watched a 20-min film and were encouraged to snack from a variety of foods ad libitum.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the impact of a short educational program before metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on patients' mental health, perceived helpfulness, and the effectiveness of online delivery.
- Participants showed significant improvements in anxiety, depression, and stress levels, while their quality of life remained stable.
- The program was equally beneficial for both face-to-face and online participants, indicating that online classes are a viable alternative for preoperative education.
Introduction: COVID-19 affected global physical and psychological health. The purpose of this study was to explore the pandemics impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), mental health (anxiety, depression, and perceived stress) and eating behavior in people with severe obesity participating in a multimodal conservative behavioral weight loss (BWL) program conducted via videoconferencing. Additionally, the efficacy of the six-month BWL program in a virtual video-based setting during the pandemic was examined.

The current focus of home and community-based services (HCBS) is on increasing consumer engagement and individualizing care. Telehealth interventions provide additional services without the burden of face-to-face encounters and have yet to be evaluated for feasibility and acceptability in rural HCBS.
