This study aimed to identify factors associated with optimal weight loss response by analyzing pre-weight loss data from a cohort of 2577 patients with obesity who visited weight management clinics between 2013 and 2022. Out of these, 1276 patients had follow-up data available. Following dietary and exercise interventions, 580 participants achieved optimal weight loss outcomes. Participants were subsequently divided into two groups based on their weight loss outcomes: those who achieved optimal weight loss response and those who did not. Statistical analysis, conducted using RStudio, identified thirteen predictor variables through LASSO and logistic regression, with age emerging as the most influential predictor. A nomogram was developed to predict optimal weight loss response, showing good predictive performance (AUC = 0.807) and clinical applicability, validated by internal validation methods. Decision curve analysis (DCA) further illustrated the nomogram's clinical utility. The developed nomogram prediction model for optimal weight loss response is user-friendly, highly accurate, and demonstrates excellent discriminative and calibration capabilities.

Thermogravimetry coupled with simultaneous evolved gas analysis by mass spectrometry was used for discerning organic compounds released during the thermal degradation of paint whose chemical compositions are not readily accessible. Thermogravimetric analyses up to 600°C revealed distinct degradation patterns under inert and oxidative conditions. Significant degradation of paint initiates at around 360°C and concludes at 500°C in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Introduction: Obesity, affecting 38% of adults globally, carries economic burdens and health risks like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Weight-loss programs often face challenges due to stigma and poor body image, impacting individuals' quality of life. Research on interventions targeting weight stigma is lacking, emphasizing the need for comprehensive approaches addressing psychological and behavioral aspects for effective care.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have produced substantial weight loss effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cohorts, but these effects have not been thoroughly studied in patients with obesity and without diabetes. This review aimed to analyze direct comparative studies for semaglutide versus other GLP-1 RA (liraglutide and efinopegdutide) in facilitating weight loss and evaluating adverse events in patients with obesity. A systematic search following the guidelines established by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for direct comparative studies comparing semaglutide with other GLP-1 RA on weight loss in patients with obesity.

Introduction: This article presents the fourth detection of macroscopic cystic lesions due to sarcocystosis in domestic pigs during routine meat inspection worldwide, and the first molecular detection of in a domestic pig in Poland. Pigs can become intermediate hosts for by accidental ingestion of oocysts or sporocysts present in food or water contaminated by the faeces of canids (definitive hosts).

Material And Methods: The affected swine showed no clinical symptoms such as weight loss, dermatitis or dyspnoea suggesting sarcocystosis.
