A co-produced mixed methods protocol: Exploring perceptions of oral health care and quality of life in people with mental health conditions.

This planned mixed methods protocol is designed to explore oral health care for individuals living with serious mental health conditions (SMHC). It was co-produced by academics, people with lived experience of mental health conditions, and oral and mental health clinicians. The study seeks to explore oral health quality of life predictors and oral health care experiences of people diagnosed with serious mental health conditions (e.

Metabolic Adaptation and Its Determinants in Adolescents Two Years After Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Weight loss is associated with reductions in resting energy expenditure (REE), which are impacted by changes in body composition following sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Current data regarding changes in measured REE (mREE) and metabolic adaptation in adolescents after SG are limited. We evaluated changes in mREE, metabolic adaptation, and body composition in youths after SG vs.

Effectiveness of a Neurocritical Care Course with Problem-Based Learning and Discussion Format in Asia.

Numerous barriers hinder the effective delivery of neurologic care as well as the education of health care professionals in the low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study assessed the knowledge of the participants after Comprehensive Neurocritical Care Course (CN3C) in the LMICs. Data from 177 participants were collected and analyzed.

Audiological Outcome of Tympanoplasty With Mastoidectomy in Middle-Aged and Younger Patients With Chronic Otitis Media.

Objective: Chronic otitis media (COM) is characterized by chronic, intermittent, or persistent discharge through a perforated tympanic membrane. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the postoperative audiological outcomes in middle-aged patients compared to younger patients who underwent tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy via post-auricular approach for the treatment of COM.

Methods: This prospective interventional study included patients admitted in wards from August 2017 to January 2019 at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Aligarh, India.

Increased copeptin may reflect vasopressin-related metabolic changes after bariatric surgery.

Objective: Mechanisms underlying metabolic improvement following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) may provide insight into novel therapies. Vasopressin improves body composition and protects against hypoglycemia. Associations of copeptin, a stable cleavage product of vasopressin, with BMI and insulin resistance suggest an adaptive increase in vasopressin to counteract metabolic disruption.
