TL;DR: A single centre, open, 1-year randomised trial to compare the incidence of hypoglycaemia after RYGB or SG and the assessment of the comparative ability of the two surgical procedures in determining the improvement or normalisation of insulin sensitivity, given the established relevance of insulin resistance in the cardiometabolic syndrome of obesity.

TL;DR: The results show that use of MCTs is increased in surgical patients because of enhanced tissue uptake of the corresponding free fatty acids, whereas there does not seem to be an increase of M CT hydrolysis in response to acute disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, a network meta-analysis compared different weight loss interventions on the improvement of osteoarthritis symptoms and clinical conditions in subjects affected by obesity and found that the most effective interventions reducing pain were bariatric surgery, low-calorie diet and exercise, and intensive weight loss and exercise.

TL;DR: This paper explores the possibility of using an asymptotic state observer for the real-time reconstruction of insulin blood concentration in an individual by using only measurements of the glucose blood concentration.

TL;DR: The cost analysis of the various elements (exams, imaging studies, therapies, etc.) shows that none independently influences the high cost burden of CDI, but that it is the simple length of hospital stay that represents the most important factor.
