Effect of interdisciplinary obesity care on metabolic markers and body weight in people with type 2 diabetes in a rural setting: A randomised controlled trial.

Management of type 2 diabetes includes medications that can unintentionally increase obesity and insulin resistance. This unblinded, single-centre, randomised controlled trial focused on rural Australian adults with type 2 diabetes (aged 18-75 and body mass index [BMI] >30 kg/m), measuring the effectiveness of a tailored interdisciplinary obesity care approach compared with usual diabetes care. Led by a nurse practitioner with allied health support (dietitian ± psychologist and physiotherapist), the bariatric treatment involved reducing weight-gaining medications, a 500-calories/day deficit, an unsupervised exercise program emphasising movement/strength and psychotherapy, 3-monthly to 24-months with support phone calls at weeks 2, 4, 8 and 10.

Observation of the decay.

Using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of collected by the CMS experiment at , the decay is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The relative branching fraction, with respect to the decay, is measured to be , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is related to the uncertainties in and .

Accelerated Resolution Therapy for Early Maladaptive Grief Study Protocol.

Unlabelled: The objective of this manuscript is to present the protocol of a study aiming to test the effects of Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART) on pre-loss grief and prolonged grief among older adult family caregivers. This study also aims to better understand predictors of response to ART®, and cognitive processes that occur among grieving individuals following ART®.

Design: The study is a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial.

Observation of the ϒ(3S) Meson and Suppression of ϒ States in Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV.

The production of ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions is studied in their dimuon decay channel using the CMS detector at the LHC. The ϒ(3S) meson is observed for the first time in Pb-Pb collisions, with a significance above 5 standard deviations. The ratios of yields measured in Pb-Pb and pp collisions are reported for both the ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons, as functions of transverse momentum and Pb-Pb collision centrality.
