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.

A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 and influenza patients on ECMO

Woon Hean Chong et al.

Summary: A meta-analysis comparing the use of ECMO in patients with COVID-19 and influenza found similar clinical characteristics, ECMO duration, and mortality rates between the two groups. The duration of mechanical ventilation before ECMO did not influence outcomes in these patients. Patients with COVID-19 benefit similarly from ECMO salvage therapy as those with influenza.

The impact of obesity on immune response to infection: Plausible mechanisms and outcomes

Giovanna Muscogiuri et al.

Summary: Emerging data suggest an association between obesity and infectious diseases, potentially due to chronic low-grade inflammation, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinemia weakening immune responses, as well as anatomical-functional changes and increased microbial proliferation in skin folds due to excessive adipose tissue.

Tien-Chou Soong et al.

Summary: This study compared the safety, long-term weight loss, and adverse events of three commonly performed bariatric procedures in super-obese patients. The results showed that OAGB had better weight loss results compared to SG, while SG had a lower rate of remission in dyslipidemia.
