Article Synopsis
- The Asia-Pacific region faces a significant challenge with obesity, which is linked to various health issues and rising medical costs; a hypothetical 10% weight loss could lead to significant savings over the next decade.
- Using an epidemiological-economic model, the study assessed current and future obesity-related health costs and problems in Australia, South Korea, Thailand, and India, revealing that costs could increase dramatically if no action is taken.
- A 10% weight reduction could save billions in medical expenses by 2032 while reducing the incidence of obesity-related comorbidities, highlighting the need for effective policies to support obesity management in the region.
Aims: Patient satisfaction is associated with positive diabetes outcomes. However, there are no identified studies that evaluate both patient- and clinic-level predictors influencing diabetes care satisfaction longitudinally.
Methods: Data from the INtegrating DEPrEssioN and Diabetes treatmENT trial was used to perform the analysis.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is mostly caused by parathyroid adenoma(s) which are generally localized using routine imaging modalities such as neck ultrasonography and Tc-SestaMIBI scintigraphy. However, these can miss ectopic parathyroid adenomas due to their limited sensitivities. These ectopic lesions can later lead to failure of surgical excision and necessitate the need for a re-exploration.

Over the last few years, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and body adiposity index (BAI), derived from anthropometric, and biochemical measures, have gained importance as a measure of obesity. However, unlike other common indices like body mass index, and waist circumference, the genetic predisposition of VAI, and BAI under-examined.

Introduction: To assess the performance of growth hormone stimulation tests (GHSTs) in the evaluation of short stature.
Methods: It was a single-centre retrospective study carried out in children evaluated for short stature between January 2005 to March 2020. The clonidine stimulation test (CST) and glucagon stimulation test (GST) were used to assess growth hormone (GH) reserve (GST was performed only when peak GH levels were between 5 to ≤10 ng/mL on CST).
