Article Abstract

Background: Patients with class I obesity may need metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in the presence of obesity-associated medical problems, but MBS in this class of obesity is under debate. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of MBS in patients with class I obesity.

Methods And Materials: This study was a historical cohort carried out on 112 patients with class I obesity with body mass index (BMI) of 30-35 kg/m with a 24-month follow-up underwent MBS at Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital. The required data were extracted through the Iran National Obesity Surgery Database. The data required for the study consisted of demographic information such as age, gender, and obesity-associated medical problems like type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and dyslipidemia before surgery, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery.

Results: Mean age of the patients was 38.10 ± 10.04 years; mean BMI was 32.96 ± 1.35 kg/m and 83.9% (n = 94) of patients were female. Out of 18 patients with T2DM, 11 patients (61.11%) had complete remission and seven patients (38.88%) had partial remission. Obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease were observed in 18 (16.07%), 23 (20.53%), 43 (38.39%), and 13 patients (11.60%) before surgery and resolved at 24-month follow-up. Post-operative complications during the 24-month follow-up were checked to assess safety and there were no De novo gastroesophageal reflux disease, intolerance, leakage, pulmonary thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis, incisional hernia, hypoalbuminemia (Albumin < 3.5 g/dl), excessive weight loss (BMI < 18.5 kg/m) at any time during 24-months follow-ups and mortality. Early complications occurred as splenic injury in one case (0.89%), wound infection in one patient (0.89%), and extra-luminal bleeding in 10 (8.92%) after surgery, without any mortality.

Conclusion: MBS is safe and effective in class I obesity and can be considered in selected patients with obesity-associated medical problems.

Aims: Skeletal muscle energetic augmentation might be a mechanism via which intravenous iron improves symptoms in heart failure, but no direct measurement of intrinsic mitochondrial function has been performed to support this notion. This molecular substudy of the FERRIC-HF II trial tested the hypothesis that ferric derisomaltose (FDI) would improve electron transport chain activity, given its high dependence on iron-sulfur clusters which facilitate electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation.

Methods And Results: Vastus lateralis skeletal muscle biopsies were taken before and 2 weeks after randomization.

Aims: The PARACHUTE-HF trial (NCT04023227) is evaluating the effect of sacubitril/valsartan compared with enalapril on a hierarchical composite of cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, first heart failure hospitalization), and change in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in participants with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) caused by chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC). We describe the baseline characteristics of participants in PARACHUTE-HF compared with prior HFrEF trials.

Methods And Results: PARACHUTE-HF, a multicentre, active-controlled, open-label trial, enrolled 922 participants with confirmed CCC, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-IV, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%.

Background: Endometrial carcinoma (EC) represents a significant clinical challenge due to its pronounced molecular heterogeneity, directly influencing prognosis and therapeutic responses. Accurate classification of molecular subtypes (CNV-high, CNV-low, MSI-H, POLE) and precise tumor mutational burden (TMB) assessment is crucial for guiding personalized therapeutic interventions. Integrating proteomics data with advanced machine learning (ML) techniques offers a promising strategy for achieving precise, clinically actionable classification and biomarker discovery in EC.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), one of the emerging developing classes of antitumor drugs, have transformed the therapeutic paradigm in oncology. It stands out due to its properties of boasting the strength of both chemotherapy and targeted therapy. In small cell lung cancer (SCLC), ADC has also demonstrated its potential and appealing effect.
