They estimate standing for six hours daily burns about 54 extra calories, potentially amounting to about 22 pounds lost over four years, depending on food intake and activity.

Baylor uterine transplants push on amid cost and outcomes
Baylor Medicine continues a 2016 clinical trial to transplant uteri from living donors to eight women including two who gave birth and two currently undergoing embryo transfers. Four required hysterectomy due to complications. Experts question resource use for a non life threatening condition, while patients celebrate births and the potential to help more couples. The program faces funding gaps as trials may expand or end after the current cohort.
