An analysis of the nutrition was carried out in 50 obese subjects with questionnaire technique. It was found that moderately obese patients received an excess of calories in comparison with the standards and requirements but approximately 25% of the obese subjects of this group was adequately fed. One of the important nutritive errors in the examined obese subjects was significant percentage of fat in the daily ration and relatively low content of the complex carbohydrates. Nutrition might be considered high-protein++. Obese subjects frequently eat irregularly, and ate between meals, especially sweets.

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are harmless growths of the epidermis that commonly develop in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, or groin. While usually asymptomatic, these lesions can cause discomfort from rubbing or cosmetic issues. They are more prevalent in middle-aged and older individuals and are often correlated with conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance.

We describe, to our knowledge, the first use in Dubai of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in a patient who suffered intraoperative cardiac arrest due to presumed cardiac channelopathy. A 40-year-old patient presented for open myomectomy surgery. She had no other medical problems apart from obesity.

BMC Med

Center of Research in Food Environment and Prevention of Obesity and Non-Communicable Diseases (CIAPEC), Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology (INTA), University of Chile, Santiago, Chile.
Background: Chile's Food Labelling Law was implemented in three phases with increasingly stricter limits. After initial implementation, sugars and sodium decreased in packaged foods, with no significant changes for saturated fats. It is unclear whether full implementation is linked with further reformulation or if producers reversed changes due to consumers' preferences.

Background: Non-absorbed dietary emulsifiers, including carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), directly disturb intestinal microbiota, thereby promoting chronic intestinal inflammation in mice. A randomised controlled-feeding study (Functional Research on Emulsifiers in Humans, FRESH) found that CMC also detrimentally impacts intestinal microbiota in some, but not all, healthy individuals.
Objectives: This study aimed to establish an approach for predicting an individual's sensitivity to dietary emulsifiers via their baseline microbiota.
Estimating direct tissue effects versus weight loss effects of incretin-based drugs for obesity on various chronic conditions.
Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol
January 2025
School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK.
The extent to which newer, incretin-based drugs for obesity improve disease outcomes via weight loss versus the direct effects of these drugs is the subject of intense interest. Although reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events appear to be predominantly driven by the direct tissue effects of such drugs, the associated weight loss effects must be relevant to the benefits observed in other major outcomes, albeit to differing extents. In this Personal View, we draw on evidence to support that weight loss is at least partly responsible (albeit to differing extents) for the reported benefits of incretin-based drugs for obesity in people living with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes.
