Aims: To evaluate whether weight-loss interventions are associated with obesity-associated cancers (OAC) in individuals with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilised the TriNetX federated research network. Three cohorts of adults with overweight/obesity and T2D, treated with either semaglutide, tirzepatide or bariatric surgery (BS) between June 2005 and June 2025, were propensity score matched (1:1) to cohorts treated with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) using potential confounding factors.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the emergence and dissemination patterns of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.318 and B.1.525 (Eta) variants in Nigeria and Africa, highlighting their significance for public health policies during a pandemic.
- By combining genomic and travel data, the research indicates that both variants originated from within Africa, with B.1.525 emerging specifically in Nigeria before spreading globally.
- The findings emphasize the importance of understanding regional connectivity and bidirectional transmission in Africa, revealing that the risks of virus importation between countries have been underestimated.
