Summary: The study suggests that probiotics may reduce olanzapine-induced weight gain at the early stage of treatment and delay olanzapine-induced appetite increase. However, this difference disappears at 8 and 12 weeks of treatment.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of olanzapine on metabolic parameters, and found that high-dose olanzapine treatment may lead to early weight gain, while low-dose treatment is associated with increases in blood lipids and blood pressure. Treatment duration and co-prescription of other medications were also found to be related to weight gain.

Summary: The study found that the antidiabetic drug EMPA effectively attenuated the body weight gain induced by the atypical antipsychotic drug Ola in female Wistar rats. The impact of Ola on female Wistar rats was significantly different from male rats, indicating a potential gender difference in body weight gain caused by antipsychotic drugs.

Summary: Atypical antipsychotics can cause metabolic syndrome, including weight gain, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. Olanzapine and clozapine have the highest risk of metabolic alterations, while newer medications like ziprasidone and lurasidone may be more tolerable in terms of metabolic profile. Differences in efficacy among antipsychotics should be considered, with clozapine being the most effective but potentially associated with increased metabolic risks. A multidisciplinary approach combining psychoeducation and therapeutic drug monitoring is proposed as a first-line strategy to avoid metabolic syndrome.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the ranges of gestational weight gain (GWG) associated with the lowest risks of adverse maternal and infant outcomes using Brazilian GWG charts. The findings showed that GWG z-scores were associated with large-for-gestational-age (LGA) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births, indicating the importance of GWG range in affecting maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Summary: The study found that many pregnant women did not receive advice on physical activity, gestational weight gain, and nutrition. Women with weight problems were less likely to be targeted for counseling, although the majority viewed receiving information on these topics positively. Verbalization of the weight problem was associated with a greater chance of receiving information about physical activity, gestational weight gain, and nutrition.

Summary: This study explores the role of pharmacogenomics in predicting weight gain associated with antidepressant medication. The results suggest that CYP2C19 metabolizer status may mediate weight gain observed with citalopram, while no significant differences in weight outcomes were found for paroxetine, sertraline, or fluoxetine based on metabolizer status.

Summary: The study found that there was no significant difference in growth between formula-fed and breastfed infants in the early stages of life. However, infants consuming formula with higher protein content grew faster at 2-3 months old. Furthermore, formula-fed infants showed faster growth compared to breastfed infants as time progressed.

Summary: This study found that weight change is associated with changes in biochemical and histological features of NASH in patients. Weight loss can improve NASH and fibrosis, while weight gain may worsen disease activity. Therefore, NASH management should include recommendations for avoiding weight gain and supporting weight loss.

Summary: Second-generation antipsychotics, such as olanzapine, are commonly used to treat schizophrenia. However, their use has been associated with metabolic dysfunction. This study aimed to explore the relationship between olanzapine serum concentration and metabolic dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia. The results showed that olanzapine-induced metabolic dysfunction was more severe and dose-dependent in drug-naive patients but independent in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Further studies with a longer observation period and a larger sample are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: The neurobiological correlates of response inhibition can predict the response of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) to pharmacological and cognitive behavioral therapy treatment. The integrity of response inhibition may be crucial for the success of treatment for MDD. Electrophysiological correlates of response inhibition may serve as a general prognostic marker for treatment response in MDD.

Summary: In this study, the association between six ABCB1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and antidepressant treatment outcomes was investigated through a systematic review and meta-analysis. No significant association was found between ABCB1 SNPs and antidepressant treatment outcomes in the CAN-BIND-1 sample. However, a significant association between rs1128503 and treatment response was observed in the meta-analysis. These findings provide limited evidence for the implementation of ABCB1 genotyping to inform antidepressant treatment.

Summary: In this study, a nutrigenomics approach was applied to investigate the association between dietary habits and COVID-19 severity and deaths. The results showed that distinct dietary habits of Indians, including increased consumption of certain food components and regular consumption of tea and turmeric, may contribute to the lower death rate from COVID-19 compared to western populations. These food components were found to suppress cytokine storm and various severity-related pathways of COVID-19.

Summary: The omissions of the Brazilian Federal government in managing the COVID-19 crisis and their anti-science stance have caused severe consequences. The lack of mass-testing programs resulted in the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 throughout the Brazilian population. A study found that SARS-CoV-2 infection can be successfully identified through testing of oral tissue samples, suggesting its use for further research on SARS-CoV-2 patients and cautioning against using oral tissue samples as a tool for asymptomatic epidemiological surveillance.

Summary: The introduction of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) in Brazil had significant impacts on the epidemiological and public health scenario. This study investigated the frequency, introduction, and dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 variants in 12 Brazilian capitals. Analysis showed that Omicron VOC replaced Delta VOC within approximately 3.5 weeks and had a lower viral load in infected patients. Clinical outcome analysis indicated that individuals infected with Omicron were less likely to require ventilatory support. These findings emphasize the importance of national surveillance programs and the faster spread of Omicron over Delta VOC in Brazil.

However, the CXCR6 rs2234355 was found to be associated with mortality in the codominance model, with individuals carrying the A/A genotype having a higher risk of death compared to those carrying the A/G genotype.

The use of BD-PRS in investigating genetically influenced neuroimaging markers of vulnerability to BD is supported, as these markers can be observed in youth with BD early in their illness and in healthy youth.
