Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the success of bariatric surgeries in patients with severe obesity
Conclusion: We showed a significantly poorer weight outcome at the one-year follow-up of the BS during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic. These results need further investigations to determine the preventive measures and management by evaluating the associated factors. (Source: Obesity Facts)

The EASO new investigator award in clinical research 2021. Role of chronotype in obesity.
Background: Chronotype is the expression of the timing of circadian rhythmicity of a subject, and three categories of chronotype have been identified: morning, evening and intermediate chronotype. Subjects with morning chronotype prefer to carry out most of their daily activities in the morning while subjects with evening chronotype perform most of their daily activities in the second half of the day. Intermediate chronotype is in an intermediate position between the above reported categories. Recently evening chronotype has been associated with an increased risk of developing chronic diseases. Thus, the aim of this manusc...

Rapid emergence of appetite and hunger resulting in weight gain and improvement of eating disorder symptomatology during and after short-term off-label metreleptin treatment of a patient with anorexia nervosa
Off-label treatment of a 15-year-old female patient with anorexia nervosa with human recombinant leptin (metreleptin) for nine days was associated with self-reported increments of appetite and hunger resulting in rapid weight gain, substantial improvement of eating disorder cognitions and of depression. The results further substantiate the effects of metreleptin on both AN and depression. We contrast these results with the widespread view that leptin is an anorexigenic hormone. Randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm the described effects. (Source: Obesity Facts)

Clinical impact of Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor analogs on the complications of obesity
Background: Obesity is a chronic disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to its complications. The aims of obesity treatment are primarily to accomplish weight loss, and prevention or treatment of its complications. Lifestyle changes along with behavioral therapy constitute the first line treatment of obesity followed by pharmacotherapy. Glucagon-like peptide receptor analogs (GLP-1 RA ’s) are among the approved pharmacotherapy options. Their central effect on suppressing appetite results in considerable weight loss. However their effect on the complications of obesity have not been very well recogn...
