antibiotic/obesity

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of prophylactic antibiotics on the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) and the cost-effectiveness of this prophylaxis for breast cancer surgery in overweight or obese women. BACKGROUND SSI is higher than expected after breast surgery. Obesity was found to be

Mounting evidence has linked postnatal antibiotic use with body mass index (BMI) in children, but the influence of prenatal antibiotic use on offspring obesity risk remains unclear. We aimed to assess the association between fetal exposure to antibiotics and obesity at ages 4 and 7 years among

UNASSIGNED An association between antibiotic use and excessive weight gain or obesity in healthy infants and young children has been reported, but evidence is inconsistent and based on observational studies of growth in relation to incidental antibiotic exposures. UNASSIGNED To evaluate whether

Global obesity has nearly doubled and is now a common occurrence in high-income and developing countries. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 1.4 billion adults are obese. Although the prevalence of obesity is increasing over the last decades, pharmacokinetic evaluations are still

OBJECTIVE Obesity is becoming a major burden on healthcare systems worldwide. The management of infections is problematic due to both an increased risk of morbidity and mortality, as well as a lack of information about dosing of antibiotics in the obese population. Recommendations in this patient

BACKGROUND Obesity has been associated with disruption of the gut microbiota, which is established during infancy and vulnerable to disruption by antibiotics. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between early-life antibiotic exposure and subsequent development of overweight and central

Background: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the available evidence on prenatal and early infancy antibiotic exposure and the association with overweight and obesity in later childhood. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science for

The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide, and there is growing interest in better delineating the role of the human gut microbiome in this phenomenon. Obesity-specific gut microbiome features have been observed in both human and animal studies, and these variations appear to play a

Against the background of reduced susceptibility of many pathogens to available antibacterial agents an optimized dosing of antibiotics is of increasing importance to avoid therapeutic failures and / or microbial resistance. Consideration of the individual body weight, as well as kidney and liver

BACKGROUND Since January 2005, the situation of metabolic and obesity surgery in Germany has been constantly evaluated by the German Bariatric Surgery Registry (GBSR). Data registration is performed using an internet online database with prospective data collection. All registered data were analysed

BACKGROUND Studies of the protective effect of breastfeeding on asthma have not brought unequivocal results, and thus this issue remains controversial. Antibiotic use, known to increase asthma risk, may be involved in this relationship. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of

Traditionally, there have been uniform antibiotic dosing guidelines for prophylaxis for clean-clean-contaminated surgery in both non-obese and obese adults. All other factors predisposing to surgical site infections (SSIs) being equal, over time, the preferred drug is cefazolin. The usual dose,

In agriculture, antibiotics are used for the treatment and prevention of livestock disease. Antibiotics perturb the bacterial gut composition but the extent of these changes and potential consequences for animal and human health is still debated. Six calves were housed in a controlled environment.
