A obesity paradox has been described following heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to analyze the association between food intake-involved adipokines and long-term weight changes. Leptin, adiponectin, and omentin were analyzed in 92 acute HF (AHF) patients at discharge, classified on the basis of weight gains or losses > 6%. The mean follow-up was 256 ± 143 days. Leptin and adiponectin levels were similar among weight groups. However, omentin levels were higher in those patients who had gained weight (16 ± 5 ng/mL) than in those who had lost weight (12 ± 4 ng/mL) or showed no weight change (11 ± 5 ng/mL; p < 0.002). Omentin levels were the best independent predictors for patients with weight gain, who had less mortality and hospital readmission during the follow-up. The association between omentin levels and weight gain might explain part of the obesity paradox in HF.

: Persistence of childhood adiposity is known to be associated with long-term adverse cardiometabolic risks. Yet, cross-sectional body mass index (BMI) is often used to classify obesity in clinical care and research. This study aimed to develop and validate a childhood obesity classification system using longitudinal clinical data.

We previously identified the mitochondrial protein 4-Nitrophenylphosphatase Domain and Non-Neuronal SNAP25-Like 1 (Nipsnap1) as a novel regulatory factor that integrates with lipid metabolism and is critical to sustain the long-term activation of BAT, but the precise mechanism and function of Nipsnap1 is unknown.
Objectives: Define how the regulatory factor Nipsnap1 integrates with lipid metabolism.
Emotional Eating Interventions for Adults Living With Overweight and Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Behaviour Change Techniques.
J Hum Nutr Diet

School of Health, Obesity Institute, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds, UK.
Background: Emotional eating (EE) is a barrier to the long-term success of weight loss interventions. Psychological interventions targeting EE have been shown to reduce EE scores and weight (kg), though the mechanisms remain unclear. This review and meta-analysis aimed to identify the specific behaviour change techniques (BCTs) associated with improved outcomes.

Department of Faculty Surgery No. 2, I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University), Moscow, Russia.
Aim: Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has gained significant importance in treating cancers. The current study is a meta-analysis that aimed to assess the short-term efficacy and long-term prognostic impact of NOSES and conventional laparoscopic (CL) surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Method: Published reports in several medical databases up to February 2024 were searched and information pertinent to outcomes of NOSES and CL in retrospective and randomized studies to treat CRC was collected.
Obesity after Natural disasters and Associated Risk Factors: A Systematic Review.
Disaster Med Public Health Prep
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Department of Public Health, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Türkiye.
Background: Natural disasters occur unexpectedly, leading to long-term consequences like obesity. That contributes to various noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. This review aimed to examine the link between natural disasters and obesity, along with related risk factors.
