Hammert, WB, Dankel, SJ, Kataoka, R, Yamada, Y, Kassiano, W, Song, JS, and Loenneke, JP. Methodological considerations when studying resistance-trained populations: Ideas for using control groups. J Strength Cond Res 38(12): 2164-2171, 2024-The applicability of training effects from experimental research depends on the ability to quantify the degree of measurement error accurately over time, which can be accounted for by including a time-matched nonexercise control group.

- - The study aimed to understand how different diets (higher-carbohydrate vs. low-carbohydrate) affect gastrointestinal health, symptoms, quality of life, and fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in individuals with obesity over 12 months.
- - Participants were divided into three dietary groups: one with refined carbs, one with minimally refined carbs, and a low-carb high-fat diet, with no significant weight loss differences observed in the long term.
- - While fiber intake increased in all groups, there were no notable changes in irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, but significant improvements in reflux symptoms were reported in one dietary group after 12 months.
Background: Ketosis seems to attenuate, or prevent, the rise in both ghrelin concentrations and subjective hunger ratings that follow weight loss. However, most of the previous studies have employed very-low energy diets (VLED) and are therefore limited in terms of generalizability.
Objectives: To compare changes in ghrelin plasma concentrations after a low-carbohydrate (LCD) versus an isocaloric low-fat low energy diet (LED) in females with lipedema.
Differentiating between an irrational versus a rational fear of hypoglycemia has treatment implications and presents significant challenge for clinicians facing patients with type 1 diabetes, illustrated in this case. A 39-year-old woman with autoimmune-positive insulin-dependent diabetes sought help to alleviate severe diabetes distress, and symptoms of depression and anxiety, associated with unpredictable drastic blood glucose drops. After exhausting conventional methods, she adopted a ketogenic diet (KD).

- * Researchers used a dual-frequency ultrasound method to evaluate liver fat in 24 Wistar rats, comparing those on a high-fat diet to a control group over different time periods.
- * Results showed that the ultrasound technique provided a strong correlation between measured fat content and actual liver fat levels, indicating its potential for clinical use in diagnosing fatty liver disease.
