Cancer cachexia (CC) is a devastating metabolic syndrome characterized by skeletal muscle wasting and body weight loss, posing a significant burden on the health and survival of cancer patients. Despite ongoing efforts, effective treatments for CC are still lacking. Metabolomics, an advanced omics technique, offers a comprehensive analysis of small-molecule metabolites involved in cellular metabolism. In CC research, metabolomics has emerged as a valuable tool for identifying diagnostic biomarkers, unravelling molecular mechanisms and discovering potential therapeutic targets...

INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography in patients with Obesity allows us to measure different layers of abdominal fat (Superficial subcutaneous, Deep subcutaneous, Preperitoneal, Omental and Perirenal), not assessable by DEXA or CT scan. Omental and Perirenal fat depots are considered predictors of metabolic complications. Liraglutide is particularly effective in reducing weight in patients with insulin-resistance, but its direct impact on each abdominal fat layer is unknown. METHODS: We measured, at the L4 level, all 5 abdominal fat depots in 860 patients with obesity (72...

The identification of monogenic causes for cornification disorders has enhanced our understanding of epidermal differentiation and skin barrier function. Autosomal dominant lamellar ichthyosis (ADLI) is a rare condition, and ASPRV1 was the only gene linked to ADLI to date. We identified a heterozygous variant (ENST00000686631.1:c.1372G>T, p.(Val458Phe)) in the NKPD1 gene in seven individuals from a four-generation German pedigree with generalized lamellar ichthyosis by whole exome sequencing. Segregation analysis confirmed its presence in affected individuals, resulting in a LOD score of 3...

Osteoporosis is a metabolic and systemic disease characterized by alterations at the level of bone tissue with loss of bone mineral density, changes in microarchitecture, mineralization and remodeling that determine greater bone fragility and risk of fracture. Falls in the elderly are a risk factor closely related to fragility fractures and numerous studies demonstrate this relationship. Vertebral fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology differs from osteoporotic fractures at other skeletal sites, as only one-third are clinically recognized...

It is hypothesized that COVID-19, post-COVID and post-mRNA COVID-19 (and other related) vaccine manifestations including "long haul syndrome" are due to deficiency of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and dysregulation of their metabolism. This proposal is based on the observation that EFAs and their metabolites can modulate the swift immunostimulatory response of SARS-CoV-2 and similar enveloped viruses, suppress inappropriate cytokine release, possess cytoprotective action, modulate serotonin and bradykinin production and other neurotransmitters, inhibit NF-kB activation, regulate cGAS-STING pathway, modulate gut microbiota, inhibit platelet activation, regulate macrophage and leukocyte function, enhance wound healing and facilitate tissue regeneration and restore homeostasis...

Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by a toxic excess of serotonin leading to overstimulation of the nervous system. Because it is a diagnosis of exclusion, it can be underrecognized, making the true incidence unknown. The classic triad of serotonin syndrome includes neuromuscular excitation, autonomic instability and altered mental status. If left unrecognized and untreated, patients are at a high risk of mortality. The most common class of medication that carries an increased risk of serotonin syndrome, when used in combination, is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); however, medications that increase serotonin production, increase serotonin release, inhibit serotonin metabolism and stimulate serotonin receptors can increase the possibility of serotonin syndrome...

Screen time (ST) on digital devices has increased in recent decades due to digital development. Furthermore, constant engagement with digital devices alters sleep patterns, leading to nocturnal eating behaviour among users. These phenomena are therefore of great concern, as digital device addiction and night eating are associated with unhealthy food intake, increasing the metabolic syndrome (MetS) risks. The purpose of this review was to examine the evidence of the influence of ST and night eating behaviour (NEB) on dietary intake and its association with MetS based on previous literature...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review article was to describe recent advances in our knowledge about how diabetes and metabolic syndrome are changing the face of familial hypercholesterolemia. RECENT FINDINGS: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, most commonly caused by disruption to LDL receptor function, leads to lifelong elevation of LDL cholesterol and increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Familial hypercholesterolemia was originally described as a form of 'pure' hypercholesterolemia, in the sense that levels of LDL were uniquely affected...

SCOPE: Obesity and metabolic diseases are closely associated, and individuals who become obese are also prone to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Gut microbiota is mediated by diet and can influence host metabolism and the incidence of metabolic disorders. Recent studies have suggested that improving gut microbiota through a fructooligosaccharide (FOS)-supplemented diet may ameliorate obesity and other metabolic disorders. Although accumulating evidence supports the notion of the developmental origins of health and disease, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure...
