Background: Time-restricted eating (TRE) shows promise for managing weight and metabolic issues, yet its application in real-world healthcare settings remains underexplored. This study aims to assess the real-world utilisation and short-term outcomes of TRE in clinical practice.
Methods: This observational study used a retrospective chart review of 271 adults who attended a metabolic specialist clinic between 2019 and 2023. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with TRE adoption, while paired sample -tests evaluated changes in outcomes among those who received TRE advice.
Results: Among the 271 patients, 76% were female, 90% Caucasian, and 94% overweight/obese. Of all patients, 47.2% received TRE advice, mainly using the 16:8 method, alongside additional dietary guidance for 60% of patients. Working status and baseline metabolic profiles were the only factors significantly associated with TRE adoption. Among those who followed TRE, 81% experienced modest but significant reductions in weight (-1.2 kg, < 0.01), BMI (-0.4 kg/m, < 0.01), and waist circumference (-3.7 cm, < 0.01).
Conclusions: This study highlights TRE as a feasible and practical dietary strategy for improving metabolic health in healthcare settings. However, further research and improved data capture are needed to explore long-term adherence, potential adverse effects, and the effectiveness of TRE across diverse patient populations.

Background: Transitioning into the first year of clinical practice as a nurse or changing specialties in the nursing career presents a critical phase for novice nurses characterized by excitement, apprehension, and the phenomenon of "transition shock." Within perioperative nursing, this transition phase takes on distinctive challenges. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on transition programs and arrangements.

Importance: Food insecurity is a growing public health concern, but its association with perinatal complications remains unclear.
Objective: To examine whether food insecurity in pregnancy was associated with the risk of perinatal complications and determine whether these potential associations differed by receipt of food assistance.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used data from a pregnancy survey conducted between June 22, 2020, and September 9, 2022, at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, an integrated health care system serving a diverse population of 4.
