Purpose: The risks carried by pregnancy after bariatric surgery (BS) include small-for-gestational age (SGA) newborn and prematurity. However, the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood in pregnant women after BS.
Material And Methods: This single-center retrospective observational cohort study includes all women with a first and single pregnancy after BS who completed at least one clinical and biological nutritional assessment during pregnancy between 2010 and 2016.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) biomarkers and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in type 2 diabetes patients, emphasizing the potential for NAFLD biomarkers to enhance cardiovascular risk assessment.* -
- Researchers examined data from 617 patients with type 2 diabetes, using computed tomography to measure coronary artery calcium scores and FibroMax® panels from blood samples to evaluate liver conditions.* -
- Results showed a significant association between increasing FibroTest® stages and higher CAC scores, suggesting that NAFLD biomarkers can independently contribute to predicting cardiovascular risk beyond traditional factors.*
Cardiac adipose tissue volume assessed by computed tomography is a specific and independent predictor of early mortality and critical illness in COVID-19 in type 2-diabetic patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different types of fat in the body (cardiac, visceral, and subcutaneous) relate to the severity of COVID-19 in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).
- Researchers analyzed 202 patients using chest CT scans to measure fat volumes and focused on predicting early ICU admission or death after COVID-19 admission over a 21-day period.
- Results showed that in T2D patients, cardiac fat volume was significantly linked to early adverse outcomes, while visceral and subcutaneous fat did not have a notable impact; for T2D patients, a cardiac fat volume above 100 mL/m was identified as a critical threshold for risk.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate malnutrition in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and its correlation with disease severity and clinical outcomes like ICU transfer or death.
- Among 114 patients studied, a significant 42.1% were found to be malnourished, with an even higher rate of 66.7% in those coming from the ICU.
- Lower levels of albumin were linked to an increased risk of ICU transfer, indicating a crucial need for early nutritional assessments in COVID-19 patients to improve management.
