Background: Digital health interventions and mobile technologies can help to reduce the rates of obesity and overweight conditions.

Material And Methods: This involved non-randomised community intervention in Nursing Homes with a control group. The program was implemented gradually from 2007 to 2009 in 10 Nursing Homes (857 beds) which participated voluntarily.
Background: Current knowledge of the risk for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) rests on studies that narrowly selected patients and procedures. Hypothesizing that PPC occurrence could be predicted from a reduced set of perioperative variables, we aimed to develop a predictive index for a broad surgical population.
Methods: Patients undergoing surgical procedures given general, neuraxial, or regional anesthesia in 59 hospitals were randomly selected for this prospective, multicenter study.
