Relationship Between Vitamin D Levels with In-Hospital Complications and Morphofunctional Recovery in a Cohort of Patients After Severe COVID-19 Across Different Obesity Phenotypes.

Background And Objectives: the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the necessity of understanding the factors influencing susceptibility and disease severity, as well as a better recovery of functional status, especially in postcritical patients. evidence regarding the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in reducing the severity of COVID-19 is still insufficient due to the lack of primary robust trial-based data and heterogeneous study designs. the principal aims of our study were to determine the impact of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency on complications during intensive care unit (icu) stay, as well as its role in muscle mass and strength improvement as well as morphofunctional recovery during a multispecialty 6-month follow-up program based on adapted nutritional support and specific physical rehabilitation.

Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are predictive factors associated with type 2 diabetes persistence after metabolic surgery: A prospective study.

Background: Metabolic surgery is the most effective therapeutic strategy for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Several preoperative clinical factors have been associated with T2DM remission after metabolic surgery. However, other potential predictors remain unexplored.
