Summary: Surgery plays a crucial role in the treatment of solid organ malignancies, with intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) emerging as a potential tool to address various challenges faced by cancer surgeons. Recent advances in tracer development, near-infrared camera approvals, and clinical trials have shown promising progress in the field of IMI. The use of IMI is increasingly recognized as an improvement to standard oncologic surgical resections and is expected to advance the field of cancer surgery in the coming years.

Summary: The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) launched the Sarcopenic Obesity Global Leadership Initiative (SOGLI) to reach expert consensus on a definition and diagnostic criteria for Sarcopenic Obesity (SO). The present paper describes the proceeding of the Sarcopenic Obesity Global Leadership Initiative (SOGLI) meeting that was held on November 25th and 26th, 2022 in Rome, Italy. This consortium involved the participation of 50 researchers from different geographic regions and countries. The document outlines an agenda advocated by the SOGLI expert panel regarding the pathophysiology, screening, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of SO that needs to be prioritized for future research in the field.

Summary: Obesity is a major health problem, especially in children and adolescents. Lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, are the main approach for obesity prevention and treatment, but they often fail. Pharmacological treatment can be used in pediatric patients after multidisciplinary intervention failure, but only a limited number of drugs are approved for this population. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new pharmacological approaches.
