There has been no feasible approach for predicting weight loss after bariatric surgery. This study develops wide and deep learning (WAD), a predictive explainable artificial intelligence sleeve gastrectomy with medical image non-image data, such as electronic records (EMRs). Prospective data came from 42 patients at university hospital. They were followed one year The dependent variable consisted of three categories: minimal, moderate, significant change groups, classified based on...

Limited evidence exists regarding associations between obesity and kidney cancer among Asians. We examined the measures risk of cancer. included 23,313,046 adults who underwent health examinations provided by Korean National Health Insurance Service 2009–2012 performed multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. During 5.4 years follow-up, 18,036 cases were recorded, cumulative incidence was 0.12%. General abdominal associated with 1.32-fold increased compared groups without...

Anti-reflux surgery (ARS) is an efficient treatment option for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Despite growing evidence of the efficacy and safety ARS, medications including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) remain most commonly administered treatments GERD. Meanwhile, ARS can be effective patients who need continuously or those are refractory to PPI treatment, if proper candidates selected. However, in practice, often regarded as a last resort unresponsive PPIs. Accumulating ARS-related...

We aimed to investigate how body weight fluctuation affects the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by conducting a nationwide cohort study. A total 3,855,884 participants from National Health Insurance System health check-up data 2012 were included in this study, and follow-up continued until 2016. Body was measured at least thrice between 2009 2012. variability (BWV) estimated using average successive (ASV) indices. Cox proportional hazards regression models used evaluate association BWV...

Introduction Levodopa (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine)g, a dopamine precursor that circulates in the peripheral region, is involved pancreatic glycemic control. Although previous animal studies have shown levodopa correlated with insulin secretion beta cells, mechanism by which pancreas uses differently humans obesity and type 2 diabetes remains unknown. Our study aimed to observe how uptakes utilizes under obese diabetic conditions. Materials method 18 F-fluoro-L-dopa positron emission...

Background: Amino acid metabolites (AAMs) have been linked to glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated whether (1) baseline AAMs predict T2D remission 12 months after bariatric surgery (2) are superior for predicting postoperatively compared with existing prediction models. Methods: Among 24 participants undergoing surgery, 16 diabetes-related were quantified at postoperative 3 months. Existing models included the ABCD, DiaRem, IMS Results: Baseline...
