AI Article Synopsis

  • Obesity is a chronic disease that makes long-term weight loss maintenance challenging, often leading to relapse after initial success.
  • Digital behavior change interventions are emerging as promising tools to support individuals in maintaining weight loss.
  • The manuscript offers insights on incorporating user-centered design and implementation strategies throughout the development of these digital interventions to enhance their effectiveness and market readiness.

Article Abstract

Obesity is a chronic disease, and while weight loss is achievable, long-term weight loss maintenance is difficult and relapse common for people living with obesity. Aiming to meet the need for innovative approaches, digital behavior change interventions show promise in supporting health behavior change to maintain weight after initial weight loss. Implementation of such interventions should however be part of the design and development processes from project initiation to facilitate uptake and impact. Based on the development and implementation process of eCHANGE, an evidence-informed application-based self-management intervention for weight loss maintenance, this manuscript provides suggestions and guidance into; (1) How a can be used from initiation to implementation of digital interventions, and (2) How a can accelerate implementation of research-based innovation from idea to market.

Genome-wide association mapping of bruchid resistance loci in soybean.

PLoS One

January 2025

Department of Agricultural Production, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.

Soybean is a globally important industrial, food, and cash crop. Despite its importance in present and future economies, its production is severely hampered by bruchids (Callosobruchus chinensis), a destructive storage insect pest, causing considerable yield losses. Therefore, the identification of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with bruchid resistance in soybean is crucial as it helps breeders to develop new soybean varieties with improved resistance and quality.

Background: Sheep's tail docking is a widespread practice, which is banned or critically discussed in some countries to improve animal welfare.

Objective: The aim was to determine the influence of breeding for short-tailedness (ST) or long-tailedness (LT) in sheep on the development of reproduction parameters and lamb performance.

Method: One hundred forty-nine ewes were mated with four rams according to tail length.

Background: Medications initially intended for diabetes treatment are now being used by other patients for weight loss. In the specialized literature, there are numerous meta-analyses investigating this aspect.

Areas Of Uncertainty: The authors aimed to explore whether the application of scientometric methods for literature review within meta-analyses could provide clear answers to specific research questions.

Dihydroartemisinin ameliorates skeletal muscle atrophy in the lung cancer cachexia mouse model.

J Cancer Res Ther

December 2024

Department of Medical Ultrasound, Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, People's Republic of China.

Introduction: Cancer cachexia (CC) is characterized by weight loss with specifically reduced skeletal muscles and adipose tissues in patients with late-stage cancer. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), an effective antimalarial derivative of artemisinin, has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties.

Materials And Methods: This study examined the effects of DHA on the Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)-induced CC mouse model.

Physical activity improves myocardial structure, function and resilience via complex, incompletely defined mechanisms. We explored effects of 1-2 wks swim training on cardiac and systemic phenotype in young male C57Bl/6 mice. Two wks forced swimming (90 min twice daily) resulted in cardiac hypertrophy (22% increase in heart:body weight, P<0.
