Constraint programming is known for being an efficient approach to solving combinatorial problems. Important design choices in a solver are the , designed to lead the search to the best solutions in a minimum amount of time. However, developing these heuristics is a time-consuming process that requires problem-specific expertise.

Introduction: Obesity is a known risk factor for dyslipidemia. We aimed to evaluate the association between nine obesity indices and various types of abnormal lipid levels in the young and middle-aged.
Methods: From July to November 2022, we distributed health survey questionnaires to the target population in the hospital and collected their biochemical and anthropometric data.

The incidence of gastroesophageal cancers is rising, driven, in part, by an increasing burden of risk factors of obesity and gastroesophageal reflux. Despite efforts to address these risk factors, and a growing interest in methods of population screening, the bulk of these tumours are unresectable at diagnosis. In this setting, effective systemic treatments are paramount to improve survival and quality of life.

Deciding what type of health professional to be: the postural profile that is assumed in the care relationship is born from this challenge. These postures have a profound impact on the way in which care for the patient and end-of-life decisions will be developed. Broadly speaking, we can distinguish five macro postural profiles: the scientistic posture (the natural sciences are the only guide for the professional); the vitalist posture (the goal of saving the patient's life at all costs); the specialist posture (fragmentation of care managed by multiple specialists); the philanthropic posture (in which empathetic closeness to the patient prevails); the conversational posture (care "with" the patient, not "on" him).
