Abstract
World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) is pleased to announce that the executive summary of the updated Obesity Guideline is now available online in Portuguese and Spanish. The guideline can be viewed and downloaded at https://www.worldgastroenterology.org/guidelines/obesity. Roughly 1.5 billion people live with obesity worldwide. This disease can exert appreciable adverse effects on virtually all aspects of a person’s life—physical, psychological, and socioeconomic. Empirically linked to several-year reductions in both quality-adjusted life-years and life span, it confers increased risks for a host of life-altering and potentially life-threatening comorbidities, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and at least 13 forms of cancer. Yet, only a small minority of patients seek formal treatment, and few achieve meaningful, sustained weight loss or the amelioration of obesity-associated comorbidity. One major reason for this is woefully inadequate knowledge among the public and among primary health care providers regarding various treatment options that have been proven effective. WGO worked in partnership with the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders on this publication. This joint effort gives clinicians a tool to use when dealing with those who struggle with obesity. The guideline was led by Drs Scott Shikora (USA), Reem Sharaiha (USA), Kevin P. White (Canada), Guilherme Macedo (Portugal), James Toouli (Australia), and Lilian Kow (Australia). Prof Macedo is the Past President of WGO (2021 to 2023) and Prof Toouli is also a Past President of WGO (2013 to 2015). In addition to the summary, the “Methodology and results of a joint IFSO-WGO Delphi Survey of 94 intercontinental, interdisciplinary experts in obesity management” paper is also available in Portuguese and Spanish at the link above. Save the Date: GASTRO 2024 in Marrakech, Morocco. WGO is pleased to announce that GASTRO 2024 will take place from 7–9 November 2024 in Marrakech, Morocco, in partnership with the Société Marocaine des Maladies de l'Appareil Digestif. More information will be available shortly.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
