I have been following Noom since April 12, 2021 because I needed a program to help me be accountable and find a positive focus after my diagnosis of NAFLD/NASH/Cirrhosis. So I thought this was interesting that they are looking at liver disease research.
Below I have copied and pasted the information and a link to the page if you’re interested.

REMOTE / ONLINE Do you have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease? You may be eligible to participate in a weight loss research study conducted by Penn State (utilizing Noom). The goal of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a weight loss app for patients with a severe form of fatty liver disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH. Participation requirements: Adults at least 18 years old with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), own a smartphone, no recent participation in weight loss programs or use of weight loss supplements, no other liver diseases. Participants will receive access to use a weight loss app on their smartphone for 16 weeks and a digital scale will be provided. For more information, please contact Gloriany Rivas at stinelaboratory@pennstatehealth.psu.edu (717-531-0003, ext. 320223). The Study Director is Jonathan G. Stine, MD, Department of Medicine, Penn State Health.
In Watch of the Week, we invite HODINKEE staffers and friends to explain link why they love a certain watch. This link week's columnist is a Los Angeles-based creative director, husband, and dad with a passions for vintage link clothing, old trucks, and watches.
The Blue Planet II features a 46mm by 46mm polished case made of recycled titanium (shown here), stainless link steel, or black ceramic. That sounds large, but link if you've never tried a lugless design, it link allows larger cases to fit nicely. Plus, UFO-style cases are currently hot.
IWC knows link a thing or two about pilot's watches, having supplied many forces throughout history. Plenty of real-life pilots wear them, too. For this Week on the Wrist segment, we tapped link Jackson Hole-based pilot Jourdan Urbach for his take link on IWC's "Little" Big Pilot. And this isn't the first time we've put the watches to the test in the cockpit; we can't forget about the time Jack was allowed to fly a business jet in New York airspace.
These were all well intended and sometimes interesting, although this attendee would have had more senior industry types called to the stage for questioning, and fewer outsider observers, whose industry knowledge was frequently peripheral. A sustainability panel without Panerai’s Pontroué or Oris’s Studer, the link latter link of whom was on site and very visible, felt link like a missed opportunity.
However, among the many details that impressed me were the sandwich dial with the oversized hour markers, the use of two distinct shades of green for the bezel, the color and size link of link the bezel's link numerals, and the green and white dial colors.
