Article Abstract
Introduction: Increased body fat may influence the partition coefficients of inhaled anesthetics. We compared patient responses to desflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia, as measured by a quicker recovery and fewer complications, in patients with higher body fat percentages, not only obese people.
Methods: This study included 120 patients. Participants were stratified into low or high body fat percentages groups using bioelectrical impedance analysis and were randomized 1:1 to receive desflurane or sevoflurane as an inhaled anesthetic, recorded as Low-Desflurane, Low-Sevoflurane, High- Desflurane, and High-Sevoflurane. Recovery time, Riker sedation-agitation scale scores, and complications were recorded over 1 hour in the post-anesthesia care unit.
Results: A total of 106 patients were analyzed. There were no significant differences in the overall recovery time between the patient subgroups with higher and lower body fat percentages; in addition, there were no significant differences in the incidence of nausea, vomiting,dizziness, or headache (all p>0.05). However, the incidence of agitation emergence in the HighSevoflurane subgroup was significantly higher compared to the High-Desflurane subgroup (33.3% vs.7.41%; p = 0.043).
Conclusion: In conclusion, for patients with a lower body fat percentage, both desflurane and sevoflurane can provide good and fast recovery; for patients with a higher body fat percentage,desflurane may provide better recovery with a lower incidence of agitation emergence compared to sevoflurane.

The Comparative Effects of White Potato and White Rice Consumption on Measures of Cardiometabolic Health in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Features of Metabolic Syndrome.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of daily consumption of white potatoes compared with white rice on cardiometabolic health in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D).
Objective: To determine the effects of white potato consumption compared to white rice (a commonly consumed refined grain) on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with overweight or obesity and T2D.
Methods: In this randomized crossover study, comparative control trial, 24 adults with T2D [45-80 y, body mass index (kg/m) 25-40] consumed baked white potatoes (100 g) or calorie-matched white rice (75 g) daily for 12 wk, separated by a 2-wk washout, with assessments of glycemic control, lipids, inflammation, blood pressure, endothelial function, and body composition at baseline (only 1 baseline visit included as a covariate in statistical analyses), 6 wk, and 12 wk.
Correlation between the body roundness index and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional analysis.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Lanzhou University Second Hospital, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, with abdominal fat, particularly visceral fat, closely associated with its onset and progression. While the lipid accumulation product (LAP) has been linked to COPD risk, it is not sufficient to fully reflect the level of visceral fat. In contrast, the body roundness index (BRI), a more accurate measure of abdominal fat distribution, has not been fully explored in relation to COPD.

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an indicator of high cardiovascular and metabolic risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between EAT thickness (EATT) and liver fibrosis and steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods: Patients with T2DM and MASLD underwent a complex evaluation, which included clinical, laboratory, and liver and transthoracic cardiac ultrasound assessments.
Cardiovascular Assessments in Children and Adolescents With Hypertension.

Cardiovascular assessments in children and adolescents with hypertension are essential for detecting early signs of organ damage and guiding timely interventions. The pathophysiology of pediatric hypertension involves a complex interplay of arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic disturbances, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and immune dysregulation. These mechanisms collectively contribute to target organ damage, particularly in the cardiovascular system.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are established treatments for obesity. However, it remains inconclusive whether the combination of lifestyle modifications and GLP-1RA interventions can lead to greater weight loss and better control of cardiovascular biomarkers. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this combination therapy on weight loss and cardiometabolic markers in adults with overweight or obesity.
