Background: bariatric surgery stands as an effective intervention for weight loss and improved metabolic control in obesity, although over time there is a proportion of weight regain and type-2-diabetes (T2D) relapse.

Aims: to explore the role of physical activity (PA) after surgery and its impact on metabolic parameters during a 5-year follow-up.

Methods: 148 individuals who underwent bariatric surgery completed scheduled examinations over 5-years. Physical assessments and laboratory tests were conducted pre-surgery and annually thereafter. PA levels were evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Results: participants were split into the PA group, who engaged in regular physical activity, and No-PA group, who remained sedentary throughout. In T2D individuals before surgery, PA group showed significant reductions in blood pressure and a lower T2D recurrence (6.7 ​% vs 36 ​%) compared to No-PA group. In normoglycemic individuals, the PA group led to sustained BMI reduction and improved blood pressure control (p ​< ​0.001) compared to No-PA group, for the entire duration of follow-up.

Conclusions: regular PA demonstrated cardio-metabolic benefits post-bariatric surgery. Integrating PA into post-bariatric care could enhance long-term outcomes.

Aim: Determine if low-cost magnification devices (USB computer microscope, smartphone) enable the acquisition and maintenance of basic microsurgical skills by comparing skills learned using these devices against those learned using a surgical microscope. Determine whether skills acquired using these devices can be transferred to the surgical microscope.

Material And Methods: Twelve neurosurgical participants, ranging from faculty to postgraduate year-1 trainees, were randomly divided into three groups for training using a surgical microscope, smartphone, or USB microscope.

Obesity significantly influences drug pharmacokinetics (PK), which challenges optimal dosing. This study examines the effects of diet-and-exercise-induced weight loss on key drug-metabolizing enzymes and gastric emptying in patients with obesity, who frequently require medications for comorbidities. Participants followed a structured weight management program promoting weight loss over 3-6 months and were not concomitantly on potential CYP inducers or inhibitors.

Enveloped viruses have caused the majority of epidemics and pandemics over the past decade. Direct sensing of virus particles (virions) holds great potential for the functional analysis of enveloped viruses. Here, we explore a series of viral membrane-targeting amphipathic helical (AH) peptide-based molecular probes for the assessment of infectious titers of the human coronavirus 229E virus (HCoV-229E).

Objective: This study explores the influence of social network structures on self-management behaviors among older adults with diabetes in rural Korean villages, focusing on dietary management, physical activity, and blood glucose monitoring.

Design: Employing social network analysis (SNA), the study assessed network structures in three villages, focusing on variations in degree, closeness, and betweenness centralities to understand their impact on health behavior dissemination and adoption.

Results: The analysis identified significant differences in network configurations across the villages.

Toe- Brachial Index: Utility, Futility, and Diagnostic Criteria.

Angiology

Gonda Vascular Center, Department of Cardiology, Division of Vascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.

Ankle brachial index (ABI) can be unreliable in patients with non-compressible vessels. Our aim is to determine the feasibility of toe brachial index (TBI) and reporting criteria in a large population. We evaluated Doppler waveforms and segmental pressures in 26,719 limbs.
