367 and 0.934). Suicidal ideation was reported by 16% at the 5-year follow-up. Participants reporting suicidal ideation had lost significantly less excess weight than participants without suicidal ideation (P = 0.009).

Five years after adolescent MBS, a substantial minority still struggles with mental health issues, and women are more burdened than men. Our results indicate an association between less optimal weight loss and suicidal ideation 5years after MBS. The findings emphasize the importance of offering long-term follow-up and mental health treatment several years after MBS.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has high morbidity and mortality rates. COPD impairs body functioning, reduces quality of life, and creates a great economic burden for society. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has become an important nonpharmacological treatment for COPD. This paper systematically reviews economic evaluations of PR in COPD patients in different settings.

We aimed to understand the cost-effectiveness of PR in different settings for COPD to provide economic evidence for decision-makers.

We searched eight databases from their inception to 23 November 2019. Verubecestat datasheet The results were presented in terms of an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), and the decision uncertainty was expressed by cost-effectiveness acceptability curves (CEACs). We used the Consensus on Health Economic Criteria to assess study quality.

This review included ten studies that matched the selection criteria. Five studies compared PR with usual care in primary healthcare or outpatient departments. Two studies compared community-based PR with hospital PR or usual care. In the other studies, PR was mainly carried out at home. Compared with usual care, PR was cost-effective in primary healthcare institutions or outpatient departments. According to CEACs, community-based PR had a 50% probability of cost-effectiveness at £30,000/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) compared with hospital PR in the UK. Based on the ICER, community-based PR was "moderately" cost-effective, with a ratio of €32,425/QALY compared with usual care in the Netherlands. Home-based PR was dominant compared with usual care, and tele-rehabilitation was dominant compared with traditional home PR.

PR conducted in different settings can potentially be cost-effective, as measured using QALY or the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ).

This challenge is exemplified in Myanmar, where an active shark fishery exists despite a nationwide ban on targeted shark fishing. We used the Kipling method (5W1H) to gather a complete story of non-compliance in five small-scale fishing communities in the Myeik Archipelago. Among 144 fishers surveyed, 49% were aware of the nationwide ban. Shark fishers (24%) tended to be younger individuals who did not own a boat and perceived shark fishing to be prevalent. Compliant fishers were motivated by a fear of sharks and lack of capacity (equipment, knowledge), whereas food and income were cited as key motivations for non-compliance. The results of our study emphasize that in resource-dependent communities, improving compliance for effective shark conservation may require addressing broader issues of poverty, food security and the lack of alternatives.Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) are multifactorial and characterized by dysfunctional, time dependent, highly varying hyper- to hypo-inflammatory host responses contributing to disease severity. Furthermore, host-pathogen interactions are diverse and difficult to identify and characterize, due to the many different disease endotypes. There is a need for both refined bedside diagnostics as well as novel targeted treatment options to improve outcome in NSTI. In order to achieve clinically relevant results and to guide preclinical and clinical research the vast amount of fragmented clinical and experimental datasets, which often include omics data at different levels (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.), need to be organized, harmonized, integrated, and analyzed taking into account the Big Data nature of these datasets. In this chapter, we address these matters from a systems perspective and yet personalized approach. The chapter provides an overview on the increasingly more frequent use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to aggregate and generate knowledge from burgeoning clinical and biochemical information, addresses the challenges to manage this information, and summarizes current efforts to develop robust computer-aided clinical decision support systems so to tackle the serious challenges in NSTI diagnosis, stratification, and optimized tailored therapy.In necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) there is a need to identify biomarker sets that can be used for diagnosis and disease management. The INFECT study was designed to obtain such insights through the integration of patient data and results from different clinically relevant experimental models by use of systems biology approaches. This chapter describes the current state of biomarkers in NSTI and how biomarkers are categorized. We introduce the fundamentals of top-down systems biology approaches including analysis tools and we review the use of current methods and systems biology approaches to biomarker discover. Further, we discuss how different "omics" signatures (gene expression, protein, and metabolites) from NSTI patient samples can be used to identify key host and pathogen factors involved in the onset and development of infection, as well as exploring associations to disease outcomes.Mouse models are invaluable resources for studying the pathogenesis and preclinical evaluation of therapeutics and vaccines against many human pathogens. Infections caused by group A streptococcus (GAS, Streptococcus pyogenes) are heterogeneous ranging from mild pharyngitis to severe invasive necrotizing fasciitis, a subgroup of necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs). While several strains of mice including BALB/c, C3H/HeN, CBA/J, and C57BL/10 offered significant insights, the human specificity and the interindividual variations on susceptibility or resistance to GAS infections limit their ability to mirror responses as seen in humans. In this chapter, we discuss the advanced recombinant inbred (ARI) BXD mouse model that mimics the genetic diversity as seen in humans and underpins the feasibility to map multiple genes (genetic loci) modulating GAS NSTI. GAS produces a myriad of virulence factors, including superantigens (SAg). Superantigens are potent immune toxins that activate T cells by cross-linking T cell receptors with human leukocyte antigen class-II (HLA-II) molecules expressed on antigen-presenting cells.
