Obesity and diabetes as high-risk factors for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19)

Yue Zhou et al.

Summary: The Covid-19 outbreak has evolved into a global health crisis, with the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes exacerbating the risks of infectious diseases. This study provides a synthesis of recent advances in understanding the relationships between obesity, diabetes, and Covid-19, offering special treatment guidance for these at-risk populations.

Diabetes and COVID-19: Role of insulin resistance as a risk factor for COVID-19 severity

Charitha Gangadharan et al.

Summary: This review explores the pathological links between insulin resistance and COVID-19 disease severity. Insulin resistance, underlying metabolic syndrome, affects insulin signaling pathways leading to endothelial cell damage and inflammation-coagulation processes, making diabetic patients more susceptible to severe forms of COVID-19.

HIV infection and COVID-19 death: a population-based cohort analysis of UK primary care data and linked national death registrations within the OpenSAFELY platform

Krishnan Bhaskaran et al.

Summary: This study found that people living with HIV in the UK are at a higher risk of COVID-19 mortality compared to those without HIV. Even after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, and a range of comorbidities, the elevated risk remained significant, especially among individuals of Black ethnicity. Targeted policies should be considered to address this increased risk in the evolving pandemic response.

GlyNAC Supplementation Improves Glutathione Deficiency, Oxidative Stress, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Inflammation, Aging Hallmarks, Metabolic Defects, Muscle Strength, Cognitive Decline, and Body Composition: Implications for Healthy Aging

Rajagopal Sekhar

Summary: Cellular increases in oxidative stress and decline in mitochondrial function are key defects in aging. GlyNAC supplementation can improve these defects, enhance mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, and improve multiple aging hallmarks.

COVID-19 Post-acute Sequelae Among Adults: 12 Month Mortality Risk

Arch G. Mainous et al.

Summary: The study found a significant increase in 12-month mortality risk for patients with severe COVID-19 compared to those who were COVID-19 negative or had mild/moderate cases, highlighting the importance of further investigation into post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.

COVID-19: A methyl-group assault?

Andrew McCaddon et al.

Summary: The socio-economic implications of COVID-19 are devastating, with considerable morbidity attributed to 'long-COVID'. The varied symptoms of long-COVID may be explained by increased methyl-group requirements caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, and methyl-group support could be beneficial for such individuals.

Glycine and N-acetylcysteine (GlyNAC) supplementation in older adults improves glutathione deficiency, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, genotoxicity, muscle strength, and cognition: Results of a pilot clinical trial

Premranjan Kumar et al.

Summary: This study conducted a 36-week clinical trial in older adults, showing that GlyNAC supplementation for 24 weeks improved red-blood cell GSH deficiency, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction in older adults. It also improved inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, genomic damage, cognition, strength, gait-speed, exercise capacity, and lowered body fat and waist circumference. However, the benefits declined after stopping GlyNAC supplementation for 12 weeks.

Assessment of musculoskeletal pain, fatigue and grip strength in hospitalized patients with COVID-19

Sansin Tuzun et al.

Summary: Musculoskeletal symptoms are common in COVID-19 patients, with severe ischemic myalgia regardless of disease activity. Muscle weakness is more prominent in women with lower grip strength, and should be considered in rehabilitation strategies for COVID-19 patients.

Stelios F. Assimakopoulos et al.

Summary: Oral NAC administration reduces the risk of progression to severe respiratory failure and mortality in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. NAC significantly decreases 14- and 28-day mortality in severe disease patients.
