Article Abstract
Background: According to the current evidence, behavior modifications are an effective part of a non-surgical multiprofessional obesity treatment program (MOTP). The purpose of the present study was to report changes in weight as well in psychological variables during a one year MOTP. We aimed to identify the associations of emotional state and patients' emotion regulation skills with weight change.
Methods: Prospective interventional study. Data of participants attending the one year obesity treatment in either a group or individual structured MOTP were analyzed. Weight, BMI (Body Mass Index) and measures on psychosomatic variables, emotion regulation skills, affective state, shame and guilt were collected at baseline, after three months and after one year. Mixed-effects models were used for the statistical analysis of BMI.
Results: We included 238 patients at baseline (t1), 234 after three months (t2) and 179 after one year (t3). A drop in BMI measurements of at least 5% was observed in 20.6% of participants at t2 and 41.4% of participants at t3. After three months, participants showed significant improvements in the following psychosomatic variables: somatisation ( < 0.001), interpersonal sensitivity ( < 0.001), emotion regulation skills ( < 0.01), and attention to emotions ( < 0.05). Most of the improvements could be maintained after one year. BMI reduction was associated with a positive change in emotions, improvements in emotion regulation skills, and a reduction of depressive symptoms, disgust and shame.
Conclusions: The results indicate that the assessment and treatment of psychological aspects like depression, emotion regulation skills, body awareness, and acceptance should be a vital part of an interdisciplinary MOPT.
Trial Registration: Ethical approval for the present study was obtained from the Bern Kantonal Ethics Committee (KEK-Bern-Study Nr 258/14), Bern, Switzerland.

Toward Health Equity: A Workshop Report on the State of the Science of Obesity Interventions for Adults.
Obesity (Silver Spring)
September 2025
Division of Hematology, Oncology, and Palliative Care, School of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA.
Objective: From October 18-20, 2022, the National Institutes of Health held a workshop to examine the state of the science concerning obesity interventions in adults to promote health equity. The workshop had three objectives: (1) Convene experts from key institutions and the community to identify gaps in knowledge and opportunities to address obesity, (2) generate recommendations for obesity prevention and treatment to achieve health equity, and (3) identify challenges and needs to address obesity prevalence and disparities, and develop a diverse workforce.

Introduction: Erysipelas is a common disease in the emergency department, whereas necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are rare but more severe. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence, incidence, population-based incidence rate, one-year mortality and clinical presentation of erysipelas and NSTIs, and the aetiology, treatment and recurrence of erysipelas.
Methods: This was a population-based cohort study including acute non-trauma patients ≥ 18 years old with erysipelas or NSTIs from the Region of Southern Denmark in the period from 1 January 2016 to 19 March 2018.
Severe Hypoalbuminaemia after Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass: A Diagnosis of Exclusion.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med

Department of Internal Medicine, Local Health Unit of São João, Porto, Portugal.
Unlabelled: Bariatric surgery has emerged as a highly effective treatment option for individuals with obesity. Severe hypoalbuminaemia is a feared complication after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It is characterised by a low serum albumin level of <25 g/l, neither explained by renal losses, protein-losing enteropathy nor by liver disfunction, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of daily consumption of white potatoes compared with white rice on cardiometabolic health in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D).
Objective: To determine the effects of white potato consumption compared to white rice (a commonly consumed refined grain) on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with overweight or obesity and T2D.
Methods: In this randomized crossover study, comparative control trial, 24 adults with T2D [45-80 y, body mass index (kg/m) 25-40] consumed baked white potatoes (100 g) or calorie-matched white rice (75 g) daily for 12 wk, separated by a 2-wk washout, with assessments of glycemic control, lipids, inflammation, blood pressure, endothelial function, and body composition at baseline (only 1 baseline visit included as a covariate in statistical analyses), 6 wk, and 12 wk.
Preserved ratio impaired spirometry, dysanapsis and airflow obstruction with low forced expiratory volume in 1 s in childhood asthma.

Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: Airway obstruction is a characteristic spirometric finding in asthma but the clinical significance of other abnormal spirometric patterns is less well described. We aimed to explore pre- and post-bronchodilator (BD) prevalences and clinical characteristics of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), dysanapsis and airflow obstruction with low forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV) in children diagnosed with asthma.
Methods: We extracted specialist care data (clinical and spirometry) from the Swedish National Airway Register (n=3301, age 5-17 years).
