ABSTRACT Context: The relationship between back pain and obesity is well characterized; therefore, the neurosurgical consultant visit for back pain may be a key interventional opportunity for weight loss. Aims: The aim of this project was to evaluate efficacy of an educational intervention for back pain. Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate effectiveness of an educational intervention (Show patient's own MRI, Explain degenerative disc disease, Relate to weight issues, Reference other weight-related comorbidities, and Encourage a plan of action for weight loss [SERRE]). This has been performed since 2014 for patients presenting to the first author's neurosurgical spine clinic with nonsurgical back pain and body mass index (BMI) over 35. Results: The average BMI was 50.7. Fifty-five percent of patients had additional weight-related comorbidities. After SERRE intervention, 82% of patients were open to weight loss interventions. However, only 22% of patients went on to follow-up with a formal weight management program and only 9% of patients went on to have a documented weight loss. The lack of success was largely attributed to social issues and severe medical comorbidities within the specific population. Conclusions: Incorporation of patient education regarding the relationship of weight loss to back pain and other weight-related comorbidities is well received in a rural specialist consultation setting. Improved communication with primary care physicians regarding this message and further supportive actions may improve follow-through, and therefore success of ultimate weight loss interventions.

This study aims to determine the correlation between hatching egg weight with egg weight loss and DOC weight of Bangkok male crossbreed chickens with Pelung broodstock. This research uses a unit of automatic digital hatching machines (temperature regulation and automatic turning). The research material is Bangkok rooster chicken, amounting to two tails and four Pelung broilers. The chicken is crossed, and then the eggs are collected to be hatched eggs. This study uses digital camera tools, digital scales, and calculators. The coded eggs are hatched for 21 days. The parameters measured in this study were: Hatching egg weight (grams), egg weight of day 18th hatching, egg weight loss (%) / egg shrinkage, DOC weight, the correlation value between the weight of hatching eggs with egg weight loss, the correlation value between the weight of hatching eggs with the weight of DOC. Data analysis using correlation. The results obtained were the average hatching egg weight of 45.91 ± 3.75 grams, the average of hatching eggs on the 18th day 41.13 ± 3.43 grams, egg weight loss 10.40 ± 0.56%, weight DOC 35.36 ± 3.33 grams, correlation of hatching egg weight to DOC0.98 weight, hatching egg correlation with egg weight loss -0.25. Based on the results of the study,  it can be concluded that the characteristics of Bangkok crossbreed hatching eggs with Pelung brooders are in the normal range.  The correlation of hatching egg weight with very high DOC weight and positively correlated, correlation of hatching egg weight with low egg weight loss and negatively correlated.
