Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the implications of social contingency measures and interruption of outpatient follow-up on weight gain in children and adolescents with a previous diagnosis of obesity.
Methods: This is an observational study with data from electronic medical records of children and adolescents followed up at a specialized outpatient clinic from 2019 to 2023. Weight gain, height, BMI variation, BMI z-score, laboratory tests, and associated comorbidities were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- * Lithium (Li) has been found to have beneficial osteogenic and antioxidant effects, making it a good candidate for enhancing bone tissue repair in diabetics when released from bioactive glass-ceramic materials.
- * A study showed that glass-ceramic microparticles created from a specific type of bioactive glass demonstrated antioxidant activity and promoted bone formation in a rat model of type 1 DM, suggesting their potential use in regenerative medicine for bone tissue.
Article Synopsis
- * It involved 37 patients, with measurements taken both pre- and post-operatively using specific software, showing similar median leg length discrepancies (LLD) and femoral offset changes between the two methods.
- * Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in outcomes, suggesting that using both pre- and intraoperative techniques may be beneficial for restoring femoral parameters in these surgeries.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the utility of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) app as a remote exercise support strategy in children with obesity through assessing adherence, possible effects on obesity-related outcomes, and perceptions of its use to support counseling and improve the treatment of children with obesity.
Methods: Thirty-seven children (94.6% with obesity; 45.
Aims: To assess whether impaired vestibular perception of self-motion is a risk factor for unsteadiness and falls in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Materials And Methods: 113 participants (65-75 years old) with T2D underwent tests of roll and pitch discrimination, postural stability (Berg Balance Scale, Modified Romberg Test, and quantitative posturography), clinical examination and blood chemistry analyses. Falls 1-year after enrolment were self-reported.
