Introduction: Outcomes of long-term (5-10-year) weight loss have not been investigated thoroughly and the role of pre-operative weight loss on long-term weight loss, among other factors, are unknown. Our regional bariatric service introduced a 12 week intensive pre-operative information course (IPIC) to optimise pre-operative weight loss and provide education prior to bariatric surgery. The present study determines the effect of pre-operative weight loss and an intense pre-operative information course (IPIC), on long-term weight outcomes and sustained weight loss post-bariatric surgery.

- Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a rare skin condition with limited treatment options, leading to challenges in managing patient care and health outcomes in the US and Germany.
- The study analyzed healthcare data from 2016 to 2021, tracking treatment patterns and negative health outcomes in 5,495 adults with PPP, predominantly affecting women around 54-57 years old.
- Findings showed a high prevalence of topical treatments but low adherence rates, with oral and biologic treatments leading to better adherence and improved health outcomes compared to no treatment.
Objective: To compare how often owners identified concerns about their pets' behavior during routine examinations in 2 test conditions (voluntarily or when completing a questionnaire), and to test the efficacy of a simple behavior screening questionnaire to be used by practicing veterinarians.
Animals: Privately owned dogs and cats presenting for routine examinations to 1 of 2 primary care clinics.
Methods: The study was conducted in 2 sequential phases.
