Introduction: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has experienced considerable growth, addressing the challenges of obesity and its complications. The lack of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in Latin America motivates this study, highlighting the need to understand the evolution of research in this area and its impact on clinical decision-making and health policies.
Methodology: A cross-sectional bibliometric study was carried out using the Scopus database.
Comment on: Insulin resistance levels predicted metabolic improvement and weight loss after metabolic surgery in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Burns in the context of a shared psychotic disorder in a Colombian referral centre: A case report.
Rev Colomb Psiquiatr (Engl Ed)
November 2023
Introduction: Shared paranoid disorder is characterised by the development of psychotic symptoms in people who have a close affective bond with a subject suffering from a mental disorder. This case is the first case of burn injuries reported in the context of this disorder.
Case: We describe a young couple, with a similar pattern of burns caused by contact with a griddle.
Diaphragmatic Dynamics and Thickness Parameters Assessed by Ultrasonography Predict Extubation Success in Critically Ill Patients.

Introduction: A frequent cause of weaning and extubation failure in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients is diaphragm muscle dysfunction. Ultrasound (US) evaluation of the diaphragm yields important data regarding its thickness (diaphragm thickening fraction [TFdi]) and its movement or excursion (diaphragmatic dynamics) that reveal the presence of diaphragmatic dysfunction.
Methods: Cross-sectional study, which included patients older than 18 years with invasive mechanical ventilation with an expected duration of more than 48 h, in a tertiary referral center in Colombia.
Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a growing global health issue linked to obesity, prompting the need for bariatric surgery as a potential solution.
- A study in Colombia analyzed the effectiveness of bariatric surgery on MetS among patients treated from 2015 to 2019, comparing pre- and post-surgery conditions.
- Results showed a significant drop in MetS prevalence from 66.2% to 3.7% after surgery, highlighting the procedure's effectiveness in improving metabolic health in the Colombian population.
