There are many unsolved questions about safety of bariatric surgery in the context of severely obese patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and notably on antiretroviral therapy (ART) absorption. Here, we provide the first case series of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) pharmacokinetic in four HIV-infected patients before and after sleeve-gastrectomy. Our case-series showed a transient and reversible decrease of TDF bioavailability one month after sleeve-gastrectomy without any consequences on CD4 cells and HIV viral load. More studies are needed since the impact of bariatric surgery on drug absorptions in the field of infectious diseases remains poorly investigated.

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Alimentação, Nutrição e Saúde - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS - Brasil.
Background: The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (rs4340) is associated with the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF). This polymorphism may contribute to a greater propensity for severe HF and excess weight.
Objective: To evaluate adiposity, cardiac function, and their association with ACE I/D polymorphism in HF patients.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), especially the ApoE4 isotype, is suggested to influence the severity of respiratory viral infections; however, this association is still unclear. The presence of allele ε4 impacts the development of flu-like syndromes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Apo E4 isoform on the severity and duration of flu-like syndromes, including the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which have a reciprocal relationship compounded by obesity, are highly prevalent in the Middle East affecting morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the severity of MASLD and liver fibrosis among adult Emirati patients with long-standing T2DM.
Design And Participants: This cross-sectional study used noninvasive methods to assess the severity of MASLD and fibrosis progression in an adult cohort of Emirati patients (N = 546) with a mean T2DM duration of 16 years.
Identification of factors related to functional prognoses in craniopharyngiomas.

Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-5-1 Shikata-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama, 700-8558, Japan.
Purpose: Craniopharyngiomas are histologically benign tumors, but their proximity to vital neurovascular structures can significantly deteriorate functional prognoses and severely restrict patients' social interaction and activity. We retrospectively identified risk factors related to the functional prognoses in patients with craniopharyngioma treated at our center.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 40 patients who underwent surgery for craniopharyngioma and follow-up at our institution between 2003 and 2022.
