This study evaluated the relationship between noradrenergic function and long-term weight recovery in patients with anorexia nervosa. Eleven patients with long-term weight maintenance (6 to 72 months) had lower plasma and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of norepinephrine and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylglycol than did healthy controls. Reduced noradrenergic activity may be associated with long-term stability of weight recovery in patients with anorexia nervosa.

Aim: In the Japanese health checkup system for older adults aged ≥75 years, the Questionnaire for Medical Checkup of Old-Old (QMCOO) was adopted after 2020. However, the prognostic significance of this questionnaire for the incidence of functional disability is uncertain. The current study aimed to validate the prognostic significance of the QMCOO, and to develop a simple risk score for functional disability by analyzing health insurance claims data including annual health checkup data.

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may present long-term complications that require revisional surgery or even reversal to normal anatomy. Data on the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of RYGB reversal remain scarce.
Methods: We identified 48 cases of RYGB reversals with complete 90-day follow-up within a multi-centric international retrospective database of elective secondary bariatric surgery.
Predicting work ability impairment in post COVID-19 patients: a machine learning model based on clinical parameters.

The Post COVID-19 condition (PCC) is a complex disease affecting health and everyday functioning. This is well reflected by a patient's inability to work (ITW). In this study, we aimed to investigate factors associated with ITW (1) and to design a machine learning-based model for predicting ITW (2) twelve months after baseline.

Importance: Poor nutrition and growth in childhood have short-term and long-term consequences, so understanding the timing of the onset of an impaired nutritional status is crucial for diagnosing and treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at its earliest stage.
Objective: To assess anthropometric trajectories before a pediatric diagnosis of IBD and growth recovery after diagnosis.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based cohort study included children born in Denmark from January 1, 1997, through December 31, 2015, with weight and length or height measurements at birth and at least 1 length or height and weight measurement at school age based on the Danish Medical Birth Register and the Danish National Child Health Register.
