Background: Bariatric surgery has profound effects on weight loss, metabolic regulation, and gut hormone modulation, which make it an efficient tool for managing obesity and improving diabetes outcomes.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the atherogenic indices, including atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), atherogenic coefficient (AC), Castelli's risk index II (CRI-II), and lipoprotein combine index (LCI) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) living with excess weight, who have undergone bariatric surgery.
Setting: Three types of surgery including one-anastomosis gastric bypass/mini gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were performed on patients with obesity and T2D in the period of August 2009 to February 2021 at the Surgical Department of Hazrat-e Rasool Hospital (University Hospital), Tehran, Iran.
Background: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the pediatric population's most frequent malignant intracranial lesions. Prognostication plays a crucial role in optimizing treatment strategy in the MB setting. Several studies have developed ML-based models to predict survival outcomes in individuals with MB.

- Diabetes is a major global health issue, especially among older adults, leading to complications and reduced quality of life; hence, this study focused on diabetes control and complications in this demographic.
- Researchers analyzed 2,770 older adults with type 2 diabetes, noting high rates of comorbidities like metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and coronary artery disease, as well as complications such as albuminuria and retinopathy.
- Despite most patients receiving treatment (primarily metformin), only a small percentage met key health goals for A1c, cholesterol, and blood pressure, highlighting ongoing challenges in diabetes management among older adults.
