Pharmacological treatment of NASH.
Abstract
Lifestyle modifications, especially weight loss, are efficient on NASH liver injury, however rarely followed in clinical practice. The target population of pharmacologic treatments is represented by patients with NASH and fibrosis. Out of histological improvement, efficacy of treatments should be assessed through liver morbi-mortality benefit, but also on extrahepatic events, such as cardiovascular. Among anti-diabetic treatments, glitazones et GLP-1 agonists have shown efficacy on histological liver injury. Vitamin E is efficient on liver injury but at the cost of prostate cancer and stroke over risk. Ab...

Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia Increase Frailty Syndrome in the Elderly
Conclusions
World population is aging and the increase in life expectancy is often unhealthy. In particular, musculoskeletal aging, which leads to sarcopenia and osteoporosis, has several causes such as changes in body composition, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance. Sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and more frequently, sarcopenic obesity are commonly associated with aging and frequently closely linked each other, often leading to the development of a frailty syndrome. Frailty syndrome favors an increased risk of loss function in daily activities, for cardiovascular diseases, cancers, falls, and mortality. As the number of eld...

Plant-Derived Alkaloids: The Promising Disease-Modifying Agents for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Conclusion
This paper summarizes the current findings regarding the anti-colitis activity of plant-derived alkaloids and shows how these alkaloids exhibit significant and beneficial effects in alleviating colonic inflammation. These natural alkaloids are not only promising agents for IBD treatment but are also components for developing new wonder drugs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms or toxicological evaluation of most plant-derived alkaloids still require much scientific research, and their actual efficacies for IBD patients have not been verified well in field research. Thus, further clinical trials to elu...

Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Ischemic Stroke Incidence in Gastric Cancer Survivors: A Nationwide Study in Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: CHD and ischemic stroke risk decreased after gastrectomy. The amount of weight loss and accompanying metabolic changes seemed to mediate the reduction of such risk. Reassessment of cardiovascular risk factors after gastrectomy and consideration of cardiovascular risk in the selection of treatment modality are suggested.

Weight Loss in Italy?
One of the women I work with wanted to know about the new diet drug called Belviq.
The FDA is always approving a new “miracle” weight-loss pill, only to recall it a few years later. To date, at least 34 diet drugs have been taken off the market.
Diet pills cause all kinds of problems — heart attack, stroke and psychiatric disorders.
