Article Abstract
Introduction: Dry weight management in dialysis patients is crucial but often subjective, primarily based on symptoms. Due to continuous fluid removal in peritoneal dialysis (PD) and intermittent ultrafiltration in hemodialysis (HD), symptom-based assessments may be biased, leading to varying results. Surprisingly, no direct comparison of dry weight changes between PD and HD has been conducted. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of transitioning from PD to HD on body weight and related clinical parameters.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 127 stable PD patients who transitioned to HD. Changes in body weight, echocardiographic parameters, albumin, and hemoglobin levels were analyzed over a 1-year period post-transition.
Results: The mean patient age was 57.1 ± 15.5 years, with an average PD vintage of 5.8 ± 4.9 years. Most patients had hypertension. After transitioning to HD, body weight decreased significantly, with a reduction of -2.8 kg at 1 month, -5.3 kg at 3 months, and -7.5 kg 1 year post-transition. Echocardiographic parameters showed no significant changes. However, serum albumin and hemoglobin levels increased slightly but significantly after the transition, and the number of antihypertensive medications was also reduced.
Conclusion: The transition from PD to HD results in significant reductions in body weight. These findings underscore the often-overlooked issue of fluid overload in PD patients and its potential impact on patient outcomes.

Exploratory Assessment of Preoperative GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Before Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Retrospective Matched Analysis.
Obes Surg
September 2025
Clinique Mutualiste de Pessac, Pessac, France.
Background: Preoperative treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) before bariatric surgery has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated the impact of neoadjuvant treatment with GLP-1 RAs on weight loss and postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy for severe obesity.
Method: A retrospective single-center study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2023.

E-Da Hospital, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
Background: We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of using additional obesity management medications (OMMs) within the first year after undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 246 patients who underwent primary LSG in our institution and were followed up for at least 12 months. We collected body weights preoperatively and at three, six, 12, and 24 months postoperatively, along with body composition and laboratory results preoperatively and at 12 months.
Algorithm to detect ISUP ≥ 2 prostate cancer using canine detection.

Bichat Claude Bernard Hospital, Public Assistance of Paris Hospitals, Paris, France.
Purpose: Screening and diagnosing ISUP ≥ 2 prostate cancer is challenging. This study aimed to determine whether canine detection could be beneficial addition to the ISUP ≥ 2 prostate cancer diagnostic protocol by creating a decision-making algorithm for men with suspected prostate cancer.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study at two urology institutions and a French veterinary school, including men with a suspicion of prostate cancer from November to April 2023, which were divided into two groups according to their prostate biopsy results.
Association between the English National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme and incident multiple long-term conditions.

Existing evaluations of the National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) in England have demonstrated associated reductions in body weight, hemoglobin A1c and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). In this study, we examined associations between completion of the NHS DPP and incidence of T2D and 30 other long-term conditions (LTCs), including LTCs considered linked to the program's interventional goals of body weight reduction, increased physical activity and improved diet quality (LTC-L) and LTCs considered to be possibly linked to those goals (LTC-PL). We found that completers of the NHS DPP had lower incidences of T2D, LTC-L and LTC-PL compared to non-attenders.

Background: The relationship between intraoperative end-tidal CO (etCO) levels and postoperative outcomes remains unclear. We conducted a post hoc analysis of two randomised trials in adults undergoing major surgery under general anaesthesia.
Methods: We re-analysed individual participant data comparing high or low positive end-expiratory pressure with low tidal volume intraoperative ventilation using a merged database derived from two randomised trials in non-obese (PROVHILO: ISRCTN70332574) and obese (PROBESE: NCT02148692) patients.
