Dietitian‐led very low‐calorie diet for preoperative rehabilitation in patients with obesity awaiting non‐bariatric elective laparoscopic surgery: A retrospective study

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Obesity increases the risks and complexity of laparoscopic surgeries. Preoperative very low‐calorie diets (VLCDs) can demonstrate significant preoperative weight loss. However, the optimal VLCD duration remains unclear. Excessive loss of muscle mass associated with VLCDs may elevate surgical and postoperative risks. This study aimed

Addition of Phentermine‐Topiramate to a Digitally Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention: A Double‐Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study compared the effects of phentermine‐topiramate‐ER (mid‐dose 7.5/46 mg) versus placebo on weight loss and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk outcomes when used as an adjunct to a digitally enhanced lifestyle intervention (DELI).

On the Convergence of Conjugate Gradient and GMRES Algorithms in the Forward Backward Sweep Method for Optimal Control

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
Optimal control combines state and adjoint equations, which yield the state (x$$ x $$) and adjoint (lambda) variables as a function of the control variables (u$$ u $$). This structure allows us to design strategies for iteratively updating the control variable, based on conjugate gradient (CG) or GMRES algorithms.

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Meteorological versus spatial drivers of the spatial synchrony of forest insect pest outbreaks in North America

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.
