    Abstract Overweight, obesity, undernutrition and their respective sequelae have devastating tolls on personal and public health worldwide. Traditional approaches for treating these conditions with diet, exercise, drugs and/or surgery have shown varying degrees of success, creating an urgent need for new solutions with long-term efficacy. Owing to transformative advances in sequencing, bioinformatics and gnotobiotic experimentation, we now understand that the gut microbiome profoundly impacts energy balance through diverse mechanisms affecting both sides of the energy balance equation. Our growing knowledge of microbial contributions to energy metabolism highlights new opportunities for weight management, including the microbiome-aware improvement of existing tools and novel microbiome-targeted therapies. In this Review, we synthesize current knowledge concerning the bidirectional influences between the gut microbiome and existing weight management strategies, including behaviour-based and clinical approaches, and incorporate a subject-level meta-analysis contrasting the effects of weight management strategies on microbiota composition. We consider how emerging understanding of the gut microbiome alters our prospects for weight management and the challenges that must be overcome for microbiome-focused solutions to achieve success.

    Abstract Purpose: This study uses a large national legal database to analyze characteristics of malpractice claims involving U.S. medical students.
    Method: The Westlaw database was searched in September 2023 for malpractice cases involving medical students from January 1, 1900, through September 1, 2023. Each case was independently reviewed by 2 authors, abstracting each variable. Categorical data were summarized as frequency of occurrence (i.e., number and percentage), and continuous data were summarized with means, medians, and ranges. All authors independently reviewed the dataset to identify potential themes and codes.
    Results: There were 65 cases that met the inclusion criteria. Reported patient outcomes were death (19, 29%), pain (25, 38%), and disability (36, 55%). The most common specialties involved were emergency medicine (16, 25%), general surgery (14, 22%), and obstetrics and gynecology (13, 20%). The most common primary alleged errors attributed to students related to medical decision-making (30, 46%), procedural complication (24, 37%), and poor communication (11, 17%). Among 23 (35%) cases reporting year of training, 1 (4%) included a second-year student, 13 (57%) included third-year students, and 9 (39%) included fourth-year students. Of the 65 lawsuits, 28 (43%) resulted in a settlement or verdict against the medical student. The total amount paid in these cases was $78,192,612, with a mean (median) of $3,007,408 ($1,050,000) per case. Of these 28 cases, 14 (50%) cited minimal or no physician supervision.
    Conclusions: Medical malpractice claims involving medical students are rare but commonly relate to medical decision-making, procedural complication, and poor communication, with a lack of supervision being frequently cited. These results can be used to guide students and supervising physicians on how to avoid scenarios that may increase vulnerability to medical malpractice lawsuits.

    Abstract Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, referral, uptake, and adherence remain low.
    Objective: To determine effectiveness of interventions to increase patient referral, uptake, and adherence to PR programs for patients with COPD.
    Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-randomized controlled trials, pre-post studies, and uncontrolled studies were sought from 7 databases and 3 clinical trial registries, to end August 2021. Full articles/conference abstracts were included if a coordinated set of activities was targeted to healthcare professionals (HCPs) caring for COPD patients, adults with COPD or their carers, to increase referral, uptake or adherence to any type of PR program. Two review authors independently screened titles, abstracts and full texts, extracted data and critically appraised studies using standard risk of bias tools.
    Results: From 11,272 records, 30 studies (23 full-text; 7 abstracts) met inclusion criteria: study interventions and designs were varied and generally low quality, targeting patients (n=13), HCPs (n=14) or both (n=3 studies). A CCT of patient held evidence score cards increased referral by 7.3% compared to 1.3% for usual care (p-0.03). A cluster RCT involving COPD nurse home visits with individualized care plans increased uptake to 31% compared to 10% in usual care (p=0.002). For people with anxiety or depression, one RCT of cognitive behavioral therapy alongside PR increased adherence (mean sessions 14.0 (sd 1.7) compared to 12.4 (sd 2.6)).
    Conclusion: Although a small number of studies, the weight of evidence suggested that interventions incorporating partnership working between patients and HCPs appeared to increase referral, uptake, and adherence with greater effectiveness than those targeting single populations. Increasing knowledge and empowering HCPs and patients may be important strategies. Concerns about study design and risk of bias suggest clear need for well-designed trials of interventions to report full pathway outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: Work-related asthma (WRA) refers to asthma caused by exposures at work (occupational asthma) and asthma made worse by work conditions (work-exacerbated asthma). WRA is common among working-age adults with asthma and impacts individual health, work-life and income but is often not detected by healthcare services. Earlier identification can lead to better health and employment outcomes. However, the optimal tool for screening and its effectiveness in practice is not well established. Screening tools may include whole questionnaires, questionnaire items, physiological measurements and/or immunological tests. Since the publication of the most contemporary WRA or occupational asthma-specific guidelines, further studies evaluating tools for identifying WRA have been performed. Our systematic review aims to summarise and compare the performance of screening tools for identifying WRA in both clinical and workplace settings.
    Methods and analysis: We will conduct a systematic review of observational and experimental studies (1975-2021) using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, CDSR, DARE, HTA, CISDOC databases and grey literature. Two independent reviewers will screen the studies using predetermined criteria, extract data according to a schedule and assess study quality using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Test Accuracy 2 tool. Screening tools and test accuracy measures will be summarised. Paired forest plots and summary receiver operating characteristic curves of sensitivities and specificities will be evaluated for heterogeneity between studies, using subgroup analyses, where possible. If the studies are sufficiently homogenous, we will use a bivariate random effect model for meta-analysis. A narrative summary and interpretation will be provided if meta-analysis is not appropriate.
    Ethics and dissemination: As this is a systematic review and does not involve primary data collection, formal ethical review is not required. We will disseminate our findings through open access peer-reviewed publication as well as through other academic and social media.
