High correlations between measures of internalized weight bias (IWB) and body image (BI) have resulted in concerns that IWB is conceptually redundant with BI. This investigation examined the contribution of the unique variance of BI and IWB on three important, weight-related factors: self-esteem, depressive symptoms, and body shame. The study included 403 participants recruited through a Qualtrics research panel.

Objective: Assess the impact on liver fibrosis in NAFLD of adipose tissue (adipose tissue insulin resistance index [adipo-IR]) and liver (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance [HOMA-IR]) IR in people with T2D and NAFLD.
Design: Participants were screened by elastography in the outpatient clinics for hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, including routine metabolites, cytokeratin-18 (a marker of hepatocyte apoptosis/steatohepatitis), and HOMA-IR/adipo-IR.
Objective: Assess the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and of liver fibrosis associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in unselected patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Research Design And Methods: A total of 561 patients with T2DM (age: 60 ± 11 years; BMI: 33.4 ± 6.
Background: Electronic medical record (EMR) alerts are automated messages that notify the physician of important information. However, little is known about how EMR alerts affect the workflow and decision-making of emergency physicians (EPs).
Study Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the number of EMR alerts EPs receive, the time required to resolve alerts, the types of alerts EPs receive, and the impact of alerts on patient management.
