May Gastrointestinal and Sensory Manifestations be related to Worse COVID-19 Phenotypes

  Abstract Extra pulmonary symptoms may contribute to poor outcome in COVID-19. We compared the frequency of gastrointestinal and sensory manifestations (GSM) between mild and severely ill patients with COVID-19, alone or combined with classic respiratory manifestations (CRM). Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (n = 357) were classified according to their disease severity by using a neutrophile/lymphocyte ratio value ≥18 for severe illness. Presence of CRM and baseline clinical data were recorded. Presence of >3 liquid evacuations per day (diarrhea), decreased usual bowel movements (constipation), nausea/vomiting, lack of appetite (anorexia), abdominal pain, loss of taste (dysgeusia) and/or loss of smell (anosmia) were personally recorded by the investigators at the study admission. Severely ill patients (47.3%) presented worse clinical markers than mildly ill patients, including higher risk of malnutrition and higher need for non-invasive respiratory support ...

Food Sources and Bioavailability of Calcium

  Abstract The identification of the calcium ration by self-questionnaires validated in the region of Blida and the Wilayas of approximately is one of the rare studies in Algeria. She was interested in a part of the Algerian population with characteristics that do not seem very different from the general population; however, this dietary survey must be supplemented by a study on a representative sample of the general population. The study showed insufficient calcium intake mainly secondary to low consumption of milk and dairy products. This low calcium intake was objectified by the two questioning methods (Fardellone and CERIN), however, it will be desirable to establish Algerian self-questionnaires validated and verified by our learned society. The results obtained are worrying, which obliges us to immediately introduce a prevention and control strategy against the multiple pathologies linked to this low calcium intake, the main one being osteoporosis with its se...

The Use of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

  Opinion Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of progressive liver abnormalities from simple hepatic steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, and/or hepatocellular carcinoma [1]. Parallel to the rising burden of obesity and metabolic syndrome, NAFLD has emerged as the leading cause of chronic liver disease at an estimated global prevalence of 24% [2]. Besides its known clinical burden for liver-related morbidity and mortality, NAFLD is potentially linked with other extra-hepatic chronic diseases and may be considered a multisystem condition. Particularly, NAFLD increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and all-cause mortality [1]. Potential pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the detrimental effects of NAFLD include hyperglycemia, systemic inflammation, and increased oxidative stress [3]. Sodiumglucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of ...
