Background: Surgeons are likely to encounter patients on GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and should be aware of any associated risks or complications. Here we review the existing literature on GLP-1RA use as it pertains to non-bariatric surgeons.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how epigenetic changes contribute to brain development and gene regulation in different types of neurons, specifically excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
- - Researchers created epigenetic maps and found that specific histone modifications linked to neuron types are concentrated in regions known as super enhancers rich in EGR1 motifs.
- - Results suggest that EGR1 binding in excitatory neurons primarily occurs in postnatal stages, while in inhibitory neurons, binding sites are accessible earlier in embryonic development, indicating different timing in gene regulation.
The surge in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) usage, particularly among young adults, poses significant public health concerns. This study aimed to identify predictors of e-cigarette use, quit attempts, and frequency among undergraduate students in a Hispanic-serving university in Texas. A cross-sectional study was conducted between August 1 and October 26, 2023, recruiting undergraduate students through the Sona system, an online experiment management platform.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines attitudes and perceptions towards vaping among 495 undergraduate students across three universities in Mexico, focusing on the rising trend of e-cigarette use and its health risks.
- Findings reveal that 17.54% of participants vape, with most starting around 17 years old; many report vaping for over 100 days.
- The research highlights the importance of educating students on the health dangers associated with vaping and the chemicals in e-cigarette liquids, especially since younger students show earlier initiation compared to those from other regions.
Objective: To determine stillbirth ratio and its association with maternal, perinatal, and delivery characteristics, as well as geographic differences in Latin American countries (LAC).
Methods: We analysed data from the Perinatal Information System of the Latin American Center for Perinatology and Human Development (CLAP) between January 2018 and June 2021 in 8 health facilities from five LAC countries (Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic). Maternal, pregnancy, and delivery characteristics, in addition to pregnancy outcomes were reported.
