Paradigm Shift In Obesity Treatment: An Extensive Review Of Current Pipeline Agents, Ecesu Çeti̇n, Brian Pedersen, Mehmet Furkan Burak

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Obesity is a multifaceted disease that poses a significant public health challenge. Recent discoveries in understanding the biological pathways that regulate satiety and metabolism have led to a shift in the treatment paradigm for obesity. Thus, the gap between pharmacological and surgical interventions has diminished. The latest approved anti-obesity medications are achieving weight loss comparable to surgery. These GLP-1 analog-based therapies not only cause substantial weight loss but also improve obesity-associated comorbidities. However, there are still unmet needs in obesity care, and treatment options with alternative pathways are necessary. Whether achieved through lifestyle changes or medication, weight loss often leads …

Synthetic Osteobiologics In Spine Surgery: A Review, Aydin Si̇nan Apaydin, Eli Johnson, Prince Antwi, Brett Rocos, Michael M. Haglund, Christopher Shaffrey, Peter Passias, Muhammad Adb-El-Barr, Khoi Than

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aimOsteobiologics are increasingly used in orthopedics and spine surgery to facilitate bone healing and prevent non-union. Synthetic osteobiologics are artificial materials crafted in laboratories that aim to replicate the natural composition and functionality of bone. Notable examples, such as calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate, are engineered to mirror the mineral aspect of bone. They mimic human bone functionality, exhibiting osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic properties. These characteristics promote cell attachment, migration, recruitment, and differentiation. Consequently, synthetic osteobiologics (osteoconductive grafts) have been introduced in bone fracture repair. The main strength of synthetic osteobiologics in spine surgery lies in improving fusion rates and …
