Untargeted Metabolomics Identifies N‐Lactoyl‐Amino Acids as Dose‐Responsive Plasma Biomarkers of Metformin Adherence in Type 2 Diabetes

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Metformin is the most widely prescribed antidiabetic drug, yet adherence remains difficult to objectively assess. Using untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics, we analyzed plasma from 637 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with confirmed metformin use and 143 nondiabetic controls, annotating 614 metabolites.

Obesidade e intervenção coronariana: devemos continuar valorizando o Índice de Massa Corpórea? Obesity and coronary intervention: should we continue to use Body Mass Index as a risk factor?

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2008
FUNDAMENTO: Para discriminar risco coronariano elevado, indicadores de obesidade central são melhores do que o Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC), que é ainda o índice antropométrico (IA) mais utilizado para seguimento após intervenção coronariana percutânea

Neurofeedback for Binge‐Eating Disorder: Neurophysiological Outcome Predictors and Rapid Response

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pioneer studies suggested the effectiveness of food‐specific electroencephalography (EEG) and real‐time functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (rtfNIRS) neurofeedback (NF) trainings in the treatment of binge‐eating disorder (BED). These trainings aim to improve participants' neurophysiological self‐regulation.

Multivariate Trajectories of Eating Disorder Symptoms and Weight Status in 10‐ to 17‐Year‐Old Children and Adolescents

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Eating disorders (EDs) often emerge in adolescence, but developmental trajectories across different core features remain largely unclear. Method The prospective, community‐based study included N = 898 participants aged 9.5–17.5 years (47.6% female, age 11.8 ± 1.4 years) with annual follow‐up over 2–6 (3.4 ± 1.2) years.
