We aimed to investigate the association of bariatric surgery, compared with usual care, on all-cause mortality in individuals who underwent surgery and matched controls, stratified by the presence of diabetes. This retrospective cohort study utilized population-based electronic medical record data. Individuals who underwent one of three types of bariatric surgery during 2005-2014 were included. For each surgical patient, three non-surgical individuals were matched according to age, sex, body mass index, and diabetes status. The cohort comprised 9564 individuals with diabetes and 23,976 individuals without diabetes. During a median follow-up of 4.2years, adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality for non-surgery vs. surgery were 2.38 (95%CI 1.75, 3.26) and 1.73 (95%CI 1.26, 2.36) among individuals with diabetes and individuals without diabetes, respectively. Considered separately, HRs for mortalierations for bariatric surgery candidates. The reinforcement-enhancing effect (REE) of nicotine refers to the drug's ability to enhance the strength of other primary and conditioned reinforcers. The main aim was to investigate neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying nicotine's strengthening of a primary visual reinforcer (i.e., a light cue), using a subcutaneous (SC) dose previously shown to provide plasma nicotine levels associated with habitual smoking. Adult male rats pressed an "active" lever to illuminate a brief cue light during daily 60-min sessions. Rats that showed a clear REE were tested with systemically administered pretreatment drugs followed by nicotine (0.1mg/kg SC) or saline challenge, in within-subject counterbalanced designs. Pretreatments were mecamylamine (nicotinic, 0.1-1mg/kg SC), SCH 39166 (D1-like dopaminergic, 0.003-0.2mg/kg SC), naloxone (opioid, 1 and5mg/kg SC), prazosi
