| Summary |
"Presents key studies that have shaped the practice of medicine. Selected using a rigorous methodology, the studies cover topics ranging from dieting to cardiovascular disease, insomnia to obstetrics. For each study, a concise summary is presented with an emphasis on the results and limitations of the study, and its implications for practice. Brief information on other relevant studies is provided, and an illustrative clinical case concludes each review. A section of review questions and answers is included at the back of the book to ensure that readers take away the key messages from each study. For this new edition, the contents were reorganized to include ten new studies, and the references, guidelines, and implications of existing studies were thoroughly updated. This book is a must-read for health care professionals and anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice." -From publisher. |

"Study Interventions: Participants in the placebo group received standard lifestyle recommendations. Participants in the metformin group received standard lifestyle recommendations along with metformin 850 mg twice daily. Participants in the lifestyle group were given an intensive lifestyle modification program taught by case managers on a one-to-one basis with the goal of achieving and maintaining a 7% or greater reduction in body weight, improvements in dietary intake, and physical activity of at least 150 minutes per week. The lifestyle modification program was taught during 16 sessions over a 24-week period, and reinforced with individual (usually monthly) and group sessions after that"-- Provided by publisher. |
