| Abstract |
It has been observed that bariatric surgery, in addition to its profound weight-reduction effects, leads to a durable resolution of type 2 diabetes. This supports the possibility that a cure for this disease may be obtainable, both by surgery as well as with drugs or devices that mimics the effects of surgery'. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of gastrointestinal surgery may also facilitate understanding of the elusive etiology of this condition. Current evidence supports a role for surgical interventions in the treatment algorithm of obese patients with type 2 diabetes, while a number of device-based gastrointestinal interventions are now being investigated as novel and less invasive alternatives. Interventional diabetology could be defined by the use and study of traditional surgical options and novel, gastrointestinal device- based interventions for diabetes. In this manuscript, we discuss how the introduction of interventional diabetology may shape the way we approach diabetes in the 21st century. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 October 2012.
All research outputs
#20,171,868
of 22,684,168 outputs
Outputs from Current Atherosclerosis Reports
#705
of 762 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,223
of 175,904 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Atherosclerosis Reports
#7
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,684,168 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 762 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 175,904 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
