Article Abstract

This paper presents a secondary analysis of data from a study of 216 people participating in a trial of program shared medical appointments (PSMA) in weight management. The focus of this paper is the Aboriginal women who participated in this translational research project and who were not reported on specifically in the primary analysis and publication. This paper, therefore, examines the use of PSMA as a culturally safe and responsive procedure to facilitate weight management. Twogroups, totalling 25 Aboriginal women, participated in a 6-session 12-week culturally responsive weight management PSMA. Repeated weight and satisfaction measures at 3, 6 and 12 months were collected. 19 of 25 (76%) Aboriginal women completed the MYU. 16 (84%) lost some weight, and 5 (26%) lost clinically significant weight (> 5%), sustained for 1 year. The participants and providers rated the procedure > 4 on 5-point Likert scales for satisfaction. 95% reported that they preferred MYUs for weight management over 1:1 consultations with their general practitioner. The data indicates that programmed shared medical appointments appear to be a culturally safe and responsive procedure to support the Aboriginal women, in this study, to manage their weight.

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.

Association of intraoperative end-tidal CO levels with postoperative outcomes: a patient-level analysis of two randomised clinical trials.

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.

Purpose: The ability to accurately detect and characterize intramammary micro- and macrocalcifications without ionized radiation has significant clinical implications for early breast cancer assessment. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the feasibility of detecting intramammary calcifications using 3D multi-echo gradient echo (ME-GRE) magnitude and true susceptibility-weighted images (tSWI) compared to digital mammography (DM) in patients with different breast sizes and densities of breast parenchyma at 1.5T.

Background: Theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) are central to the development and evaluation of implementation strategies supporting evidence-based practice (EBP). However, evidence on how and to what extent TMFs are used in implementation trials remains limited.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the nature and extent of TMF use in implementation trials, identify which TMFs are most frequently employed, and explore temporal trends in their use.

Introduction: Listening to music while driving is a common practice. Extensive research has explored its effects on driving performance, with a growing consensus suggesting that the optimal complexity of music varies depending on different driving scenarios to maintain drivers' arousal levels. However, these optimal levels can vary significantly among individuals.
