Abstract

Surgery is not always required in patients with spondylolisthesis. Meanwhile, surgical adverse events contribute significantly to postoperative morbidity. Restriction of the patient's activities, muscle rehabilitation, and other nonoperative measures, including the intermittent use of a rigid back brace, often are sufficient if the symptoms are minimal, and the slippage is mild.

Research in Context: Obesity and metabolic health

The complexities of metabolism and body weight

Losing weight and reversing obesity might seem straightforward: eat fewer calories than you burn. But that’s not as easy as it sounds. This special Research in Context feature explores the many factors that affect the body’s metabolism and weight, some of which are difficult to control.

Losing weight and reversing obesity might seem straightforward: eat fewer calories than you burn. But many of us know that’s not as easy as it sounds.

“I think that most people overestimate how much conscious control we have, over long periods of time, over both the amount of food that we eat as well as the type of food that we eat,” says NIH metabolism researcher Dr. Kevin Hall.
