Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder: recent advances in neurobiology and treatment.

Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by persistent insufficient nutritional and/or energy intake. ARFID, before referred to as "selective eating disorder", was introduced recently in the DSM-5 as a replacement for and expansion of the previous diagnosis. Individuals with ARFID may limit food variety and intake due to avoidance based on the sensory characteristics of the food or related to any adverse consequences of eating without the intention of losing weight and concerns of body image.

Long-term Effect of Lifestyle Interventions on the Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality of Subjects With Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Lifestyle interventions improve the metabolic control of individuals with hyperglycemia.

Purpose: We aimed to determine the effect of lifestyle interventions on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in this population.

Data Sources: Searches were made through MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, and Web of Science (no date/language restriction, until 15 May 2022).

Effects of obesity on kidney transplantation outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The effects of obesity on outcomes reported after kidney transplantation have been controversial. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to elucidate this issue.

Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and gray literature were searched up to August 6, 2013.

Association between 276G/T adiponectin gene polymorphism and new-onset diabetes after kidney transplantation.

Background: New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a well-recognized complication of kidney transplantation and is associated with poor outcomes. Both adiponectin and chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) proteins are related to glucose metabolism and genetic variations in their genes can lead to development of NODAT. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of adiponectin and CCL5 genes polymorphisms with NODAT in a population of Caucasian kidney transplant recipients.
