Objective: Little is known about the longer-term maintenance, remission, or development of binge eating behaviour (BE) following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). This brief report investigated BE prior to and 10 years following MBS and examined mental health and weight outcomes between BE groups (never BE, continued BE, remitted BE, or developed 'de novo' BE).
Method: One hundred and eighty-three participants (76.
Article Synopsis
- Previous studies hinted at a link between body fat and penile cancer risk, but evidence was limited; this study analyzed 829,081 Norwegian men to explore the relationship between BMI and penile cancer incidence.
- Over 25 million person-years of follow-up revealed that higher BMI was associated with increased risk of penile cancer, with significant hazard ratios for those with BMI over 30.
- The findings suggest that obesity correlates with higher penile cancer risk, indicating a need for more research to understand the underlying causes.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for treating esophageal cancer at various centers globally, aiming to pinpoint areas for enhancement in surgical outcomes.
- Over three time periods (2016-2023), data from 28 centers was analyzed, revealing improvements in textbook outcome rates, lymph node yields, and decreased hospital stays, particularly with McKeown procedures.
- The results showed varying success rates in surgical outcomes and complications, with a noteworthy decrease in anastomotic leakage rates and hospital stays over time, highlighting advancements in surgical techniques.
