Metformin in the management of antipsychotic-induced weight gain – why the ‘weight’
Antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) contributes significantly to the 2-3-fold higher rates of obesity seen amongst those living with a severe mental illness (SMI). 1 Clinically significant weight gain (≥7% increase in weight) has been linked to almost all antipsychotics. 2 Adjunctive metformin treatment has been demonstrated to effectively reduce AIWG. 3 However, metformin's position within current AIWG management algorithms is typically lim…
Mapping of serological testing and Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence studies performed in 20 European countries, March-June 2020
BACKGROUND: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic spread across Europe from February 2020. While robust SARS-CoV-2 serological assays were quickly developed, only limited information on applied serological testing is available. We describe the extent and nature of SARS-CoV-2 serological testing used in Europe and assess the links between epidemiology, mitigation strategies applied and seroprevalence. METHODS: An online questionnaire on SARS-CoV-2 serology was …
BMI ≥ 50 kg/m 2 is associated with a younger age of onset of overweight and a high prevalence of adverse metabolic profiles
Objective To study the demographic and clinical parameters of three different categories of obesity, with particular focus on a cohort of individuals with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m 2 , the fastest growing category of obesity. Design Over 700 obese individuals were studied (186 with BMI = 30–39 kg/m 2 , 316 with BMI = 40–49 kg/m 2 and 290 with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m 2 ). Results Median BMI was 51 kg/m 2 for patients who reported onset of overweight before 15 years of …
