Article Synopsis
- The global obesity pandemic is critical due to its link with serious health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, leading to higher mortality rates.
- Bariatric surgery is currently the best treatment for obesity, allowing most patients to lose significant weight, but many experience weight regain over time.
- Anti-obesity medications may be helpful after bariatric surgery to enhance weight loss or prevent regaining lost weight, and preliminary data suggests they can effectively support bariatric outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Neuroblastoma survivors experience early signs of weakened immune response, particularly in their CD8 T cells, shortly after therapy.
- They also show elevated levels of TNF-α in their plasma, indicating inflammation.
- Over time, some signs of immune recovery are noted, but it's unclear if this recovery is permanent or temporary, especially given that late side effects are common in childhood cancer survivors.
