ADA 2025
Among 60,327 Indians, 73.7% consumed at least one FAFH meal/week. Young adults, men, urban residents, and college-educated individuals had the highest intake. Obesity was more common in those eating ≥2 FAFH meals/week (18%) vs. normal-weight individuals (12.7%). These patterns call for public health interventions targeting dietary habits and metabolic risk

ADA 2025
In a VA-based study of semaglutide users without diabetes, those who engaged in lifestyle intervention (LI) via the MOVE! program saw greater weight loss both during treatment (−8.3% vs. −7.4%) and 12 months post-discontinuation (−5.8% vs. −3.3%) compared to non-LI peers. LI appeared to enhance initial weight loss and mitigate post-treatment weight regain.

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) reduced hypoxia risk in obese patients undergoing sedated upper GI endoscopy. Desaturation events were markedly lower in nCPAP groups (7.6%) compared to standard nasal cannula oxygen (25.3%). Patients on nCPAP also had higher minimum oxygen saturation levels (97.1% vs. 95.9%). Older age predicted desaturation, with nasal cannula users facing higher odds (OR 5.4).

Sci Rep.
Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) frequently cluster and progress overtime in CD. Their prevalence increased from 21.1% at diagnosis to 47.3% at 25 years. Peripheral arthritis showed strong ties with other EIMs, including axial spondiloarthropathy, skin and ocular involvement and thromboembolism. Oral ulcers frequently co-occurred with multiple systemic EIMs. Joint involvement and skin lesions were most common.

Acta Derm Venereol.
New research showed that adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) experiencing frequent or unstable flares had a higher mental health burden than those with stable disease. Patients with <6 flares/year reported lower anxiety and depression scores (3 and 1), while those with 14 or more flares had 2-3 times higher scores (anxiety: 4-6; depression: 2-3). Findings support incorporation of flare patterns into treatment planning

In adult atopic dermatitis, have you noticed a strong link between flare frequency and mental health burden?

Am J Obstet Gynecol.
New evidence pinpointed key reproductive factors linked to higher peripheral arterial disease (PAD) risk in women. Early (<12 y) or late (>14 y) menarche increased PAD risk by 43% and 36%, resp. Risk increased per miscarriage (aHR 1.06), stillbirth (1.18), and abortion (1.09). Hysterectomy and oophorectomy each raised PAD risk by 24%. A U-shaped link was seen between the number of children and PAD risk in both sexes.
