Objective: Assess the role of inflammation on operating time in younger vs. older bariatric surgery patients.

Methods: Fifty-five younger (F: 46, Age: 34.9 ± 4.0 years, body mass index [BMI]: 48.2 ± 1.0 kg m) and 48 older (F: 34, Age: 57.0 ± 5.1 years, BMI: 46.8 ± 1.0 kg m) adults were studied prior to surgery. Blood pressure, glycaemic control (fasting glucose/insulin, HbA), lipids (high-density lipoprotein and triglycerides) and inflammation (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1]) were assessed. Metabolic risk severity -scores were calculated from clinical outcomes. Omental adipose biopsies were collected at surgery for MCP-1 protein analysis. Operating time was used to characterize surgical difficulty.

Results: Older vs. younger adults had higher HbA ( = 0.03). There was no difference in BMI, lipids, metabolic risk severity or insulin between groups, but operating time was longer in older vs. younger individuals ( = 0.04). Circulating MCP-1 was also elevated in older vs. younger adults ( = 0.04) independent of HbA, although this was not explained by omental fat. Nevertheless, serum MCP-1 was associated with increased metabolic risk severity ( = 0.27,  = 0.01). In addition, operating time was linked to HbA ( = 0.30,  = 0.01) and omental MCP-1 protein ( = 0.31,  < 0.01).

Conclusions: MCP-1 is associated with longer operating time and increased metabolic risk severity in older bariatric patients independent of glycaemic control. Pre-operative treatment of inflammation may be required to enhance surgery effectiveness.

Background: Many tools have been developed to predict the risk of diabetes in a population without diabetes; however, these tools have shortcomings that include the omission of race, inclusion of variables that are not readily available to patients, and low sensitivity or specificity.

Objective: We aimed to develop and validate an easy, systematic index for predicting diabetes risk in the Asian population.

Methods: We collected the data from the NAGALA (NAfld [nonalcoholic fatty liver disease] in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) database.

Objective: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-4/6 inhibitors have significantly improved outcomes in several cancers but can also induce various organ system toxicities, including musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the musculoskeletal adverse events (MSAEs) associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors based on real-world data.

Methods: Reports of MSAEs linked to CDK4/6 inhibitors from the first quarter (Q1) of 2015 and 2023 Q4 were extracted from the FAERS.
