Purpose Of Review: We sought to critically evaluate the recent literature published over the past 3 years on the topic of weight regain after bariatric surgery in children, adolescents, and adults, with an emphasis on clinically- relevant information for pharmacologic treatment of weight regain after metabolic and bariatric surgery.
Findings: There are multiple pharmacotherapeutic agents available to treat obesity in children, adolescents, and adults; these agents have varying efficacy and indications for use and have been studied in a variety of clinical and research scenarios. We present an overview of these findings.
Summary: This review represents a comprehensive compilation of the recently published data on efficacy of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy in the treatment of weight regain after bariatric surgery for children, adolescents, and adults.

This study designs and develops a wearable exoskeleton piano assistance system for individuals recovering from neurological injuries, aiming to help users regain the ability to perform complex tasks such as playing the piano. While soft robotic exoskeletons have proven effective in rehabilitation therapy and daily activity assistance, challenges remain in performing highly dexterous tasks due to structural complexity and insufficient motion accuracy. To address these issues, we developed a modular division method based on multi-domain mapping and a top-down process model.

Background: Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are not rare and often require an intervention at some point of time. Pediatric cardiac catheterization, a minimally invasive procedure, is performed to diagnose and to correct many cardiac abnormalities. Deep sedation with spontaneously breathing patients is the preferred technique for pediatric catheterization in the pediatric population.

Routine laboratory testing during inpatient care is essential because these patients often provide inaccurate information about their diet and purging behaviors. However, blood gas analysis for an acid-base evaluation is rarely performed in the psychiatric setting because psychiatrists are not accustomed to evaluating the results.

Since long-term results after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are rather scarce, this study aims to add LSG results with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. Prospectively collected data from primary LSG in a tertiary bariatric center from 08/2007 to 12/2018 with follow-up ≥ 5 years were analyzed retrospectively. Primary endpoints included total body weight loss (%TBWL) and excess weight loss (%EWL), insufficient weight loss (IWL), weight regain (WR), remission of associated diseases, development of new-onset gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and nutritional deficiencies.

The increasing prevalence of obesity, complex nature of this chronic disease, and risks of developing obesity-related comorbidities outline the need for sustainable and effective management for people living with obesity. In addition to behavioral interventions, obesity medications (OMs) are increasingly considered an integral part of management of people living with obesity. OM adherence is essential to achieve the health benefits of these medications.
