Time-restricted eating outperforms calorie counting in weight loss for type 2 diabetes patients

In a six-month randomized clinical trial, researchers found that time-restricted eating (TRE) was more effective than daily calorie restriction for weight loss and equally effective in regulating glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. The study suggests TRE could be a simpler and more easily adhered to dietary strategy for managing the condition.

Anesthesiologist-administered sedation improves discharge outcomes for patients after common procedures

Patients who had common procedures performed outside of the operating room (OR) were more likely to go home instead of to a long-term care facility when they were discharged from the hospital if their sedation was administered or directed by an anesthesiologist, rather than by a physician who is not a trained anesthesiologist, according to a first-of-its-kind study presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2023 annual meeting.
