Background: Previous studies have shown that antipsychotics with high propensity for antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) influence glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) mediated glucose intake. Variation in the gene encoding TBC1 domain family member 1 (TBC1D1), a Rab-GTPase activating protein regulating GLUT4 trafficking, has been associated with obesity. Therefore, we investigated the impact of TBC1D1 polymorphisms on AIWG.

Methods: We analyzed rs9852 and rs35859249 in TBC1D1 in 195 schizophrenia subjects treated mostly with clozapine or olanzapine for up to 14 weeks. Association was tested using analysis of variance and analysis of covariance with change (%) from baseline weight as the dependent variable.

Results: Analysis of covariance showed a non-significant trend for lower weight gain in carriers of the T-allele of rs9852 than in C-allele homozygotes (p = 0.063). This effect was more pronounced in the subgroup of patients treated with clozapine or olanzapine (p = 0.024). For rs35859249, no significant association with AIWG could be detected.

Conclusions: This is the first study examining the association between TBC1D1 and AIWG. The moderate association of rs9852, located in the 3'UTR near a miRNA binding site, indicates an influence of TBC1D1 on AIWG. Further investigations remain necessary to elucidate the role of this gene in AIWG.

Background: Coccidia are among the primary pathogens causing diarrhea and even fatalities in lambs. With the increasing use of chemical drugs to treat coccidiosis, the problem of drug resistance is becoming more and more threatening. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify novel alternative drugs for the treatment of the lamb coccidia.

Background: Growing evidence shows that dysregulated metabolic intrauterine environments can affect offspring's neurodevelopment and behaviour. However, the results of individual cohort studies have been inconsistent. We aimed to investigate the association between maternal diabetes before pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with neurodevelopmental, cognitive and behavioural outcomes in children.

Objectives: To evaluate body mass index (BMI) trajectories over time and to evaluate common comorbidities across a large, nationally representative sample of youth with Down syndrome (DS) STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective study included children ages 2 through18 years within the Cerner Health Facts database with a diagnosis of DS and a medical visit between 2010 and 2017. Comorbid conditions were mapped into PheCodes (ie, one or more ICD codes that combine into specific diseases or traits) and were included if they occurred in at least 1% (145 PheCodes) of the sample.

Results: Outcomes trajectories were analyzed through generalized additive mixed models.

Background: The ring-augmented Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (raRYGB) has been reported to result in higher long-term weight loss compared to regular Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, the type of ring used varied within studies, leading to heterogeneity in reported results. Therefore, this study compares the 5-year results of RYGB with and without ring augmentation using a specific prefabricated gastric ring.
