We examined associations of weight concerns and weight gain with adolescent tobacco cessation treatment and whether these effects differed by gender or ethnoracial group. Participants were 115 urban adolescents recruited for a randomized clinical trial of nicotine replacement therapy. Baseline weight gain concerns were assessed using the Eating Disorders module from the Diagnostic Interview for the Child and Adolescent (DICA-IV). The average weight gain during the trial was 0.59 +/- 2.85 kg among the 43.5% of participants who completed the treatment study. As indicated by the DICA, baseline weight gain concerns were not associated with weight gain during treatment, study completion, or abstinence from smoking at 3-month posttreatment follow-up; these results did not vary by gender or ethnoracial group. Adolescents who quit smoking gained no more weight during the trial than those who smoked.

Background: Hydration and urine alkalinization are the mainstays for the prevention of methotrexate-induced nephrotoxicity. Current oncology protocols recommend pediatric patients who are administered high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) to be aggressively hydrated with an alkaline solution, which may lead to overhydration. This pilot study sought to determine whether reduced posthydration results in a shorter time to methotrexate elimination without increasing adverse effects.

Weight gain was not associated with regimen type and slowed in years 2 to 3, with 44%, 34%, and 23% experiencing increasing, decreasing, and stable trajectories. Although 23% had significant weight gain year 1, many subsequently lost weight despite continuing antiretroviral therapy.
