Neurofilament light chain and vaccination status associate with clinical outcomes in severe COVID-19.

Blood neurofilament light chain (NFL) is proposed to serve as an estimate of disease severity in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We show that NFL concentrations in plasma collected from 880 patients with COVID-19 within 5 days of hospital admission were elevated compared to controls. Higher plasma NFL associated with worse clinical outcomes including the need for mechanical ventilation, intensive care, prolonged hospitalization, and greater functional disability at discharge.

Effectiveness, Compliance, and Acceptability of Preoperative Weight Loss with a Liquid Very Low-Calorie Diet Before Bariatric Surgery in Real Practice.

Objective: A preoperative very low-calorie diet (VLCD) is a common method to reduce weight before bariatric surgery. However, patient compliance and acceptability are not always known. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, compliance, and acceptability of our regimen in a metropolitan academic quaternary care center.

Inpatient Glycemic Protocol for Patients with Diabetes Undergoing Bariatric Surgery.

Background: Bariatric surgery is a recommended treatment for diabetes in severely obese patients. Their immediate post-operative anti-hyperglycemic requirements differ from other hospitalized diabetics, yet no standardized protocols addressing glycemic control for this group exist.

Objective: We aimed to create a safe, easily implemented protocol for immediate post-operative glycemic control, which we defined as the first 30 days.

Behavioral transitions and weight change patterns within the PREMIER trial.

Little is known about the transition in behaviors from short-term weight loss to maintenance of weight loss. We wanted to determine how short-term and long-term weight loss and patterns of weight change were associated with intervention behavioral targets. This analysis includes overweight/obese participants in active treatment (n = 507) from the previously published PREMIER trial, an 18-month, multicomponent lifestyle intervention for blood pressure reduction, including 33 intervention sessions and recommendations to self-monitor food intake and physical activity daily.
