AI Article Synopsis
- Weight loss medications and surgeries are increasingly accessible for people with diabetes, potentially leading to diabetes remission and improved health markers.
- Despite significant weight loss and better diabetes management, some complications, like peripheral neuropathy, may persist and can lead to conditions such as Charcot foot.
- Individuals who have lost substantial weight should remain vigilant about foot health since the risk of foot disease continues, even with improved diabetes status.
Article Abstract
Medication to aid weight loss and weight loss surgery are becoming more commonly available for people with diabetes. As a result of profound weight loss, diabetes may go into remission and many biochemical and physical parameters improve. However, some of the end organ damage associated with diabetes may not improve, peripheral neuropathy being an example. We present three cases in people with diabetes and pre-existing peripheral neuropathy who had lost significant weight. They became more mobile and developed a Charcot foot despite their diabetes improving significantly. People who have lost significant weight should continue to monitor their feet because the risks of foot disease remain even if diabetes goes into remission.

Purpose Of Review: This review explores the mechanistic pathways and clinical implications of phytochemicals in obesity management, addressing the global health crisis of obesity and the pressing need for effective, natural strategies to combat this epidemic.
Recent Findings: Phytochemicals demonstrate significant potential in obesity control through various molecular mechanisms. These include the modulation of adipogenesis, regulation of lipid metabolism, enhancement of energy expenditure, and suppression of appetite.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with cognitive impairments which are linked to a deficit in cholinergic function. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of TeMac™ to prevent memory impairment in scopolamine-rats model of Alzheimer's disease and by in silico approaches to identify molecules in TeMac™ inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. The cholinergic cognitive dysfunction was induced by intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine (1 mg/kg daily) in male Wistar rats for seven consecutive days.

This study sought to quantify continued weight loss after abdominoplasty procedures.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on all abdominoplasty cases performed by the senior author between 2018 and 2022.

: carbohydrate-restricted diets (CRDs) have gained attention to address metabolic dysregulation commonly observed in dyslipidemia, a condition posing significant risks to cardiovascular health. However, the effectiveness of CRDs in improving cardiovascular health remains contentious. This meta-analysis comprehensively evaluated the long-term effects of CRDs on glucolipid metabolism and weight loss in individuals with dyslipidemia.

Paradoxical reactions (PRs) to biologic medications, such as psoriasis, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), have been increasingly recognized. The aim of reporting this case is to establish an association between golimumab and exacerbation or new (de novo) IBD in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). Our case involves a young patient with juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who developed de novo IBD following golimumab therapy for active spinal disease.
