Abstract
Background General obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone disease (GSD), but whether central obesity contributes additional independent risk remains controversial. We aimed to comprehensively clarify the effect of body fat distribution on GSD. Methods We first investigated the observational association of central adiposity, characterized by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), with GSD risk using data from UK Biobank (N=472,050). We then explored the genetic relationship using summary statistics from the largest genome-wide association study of GSD (ncase=43,639, ncontrol=506,798) as well as WHR, with and without adjusting for body mass index (BMI) (WHR: n=697,734; WHRadjBMI: n=694,649). Results Observational analysis demonstrated an increased risk of GSD with one unit increase in WHR (HR=1.18, 95%CI=1.14-1.21). A positive WHR-GSD genetic correlation (r g =0.41, P=1.42×10-52) was observed, driven by yet independent of BMI (WHRadjBMI: r g =0.19, P=6.89×10-16). Cross-trait meta-analysis identified four novel pleiotropic loci underlying WHR and GSD with biological mechanisms outside of BMI. Mendelian randomization confirmed a robust WHR-GSD causal relationship (OR=1.50, 95%CI=1.35-1.65) which attenuated yet remained significant after adjusting for BMI (OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.09-1.26). Furthermore, observational analysis confirmed a positive association between general obesity and GSD, corroborated by a shared genetic basis (r g =0.40, P=2.16×10-43), multiple novel pleiotropic loci (N=11) and a causal relationship (OR=1.67, 95%CI=1.56-1.78). Conclusion Both observational and genetic analyses consistently provide evidence on an association of central obesity with an increased risk of GSD, independent of general obesity. Our work highlights the need of considering both general and central obesity in the clinical management of GSD.

A sex- and site-specific relationship between body mass index and osteoarthritis: evidence from observational and genetic analyses. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2023; 31:819-828. [PMID: 36889626 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2023.02.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We primarily aimed to investigate whether there are phenotypic and genetic links underlying body mass index (BMI) and overall osteoarthritis (OA). We then intended to explore whether the relationships differ across sexes and sites. METHOD We first evaluated the phenotypic association between BMI and overall OA using data from the UK Biobank. We then investigated the genetic relationship leveraging summary statistics of the hitherto largest genome-wide association studies performed for BMI and overall OA. Finally, we repeated all analyses in a sex- (female, male) and site- (knee, hip, spine) specific manner. RESULTS Observational analysis suggested an increased hazard of diagnosed OA per 5 kg/m2 increment in BMI (hazard ratio = 1.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.37-1.39). A positive overall genetic correlation was observed for BMI and OA (rg = 0.43, P = 4.72 × 10-133), corroborated by 11 significant local signals. Cross-trait meta-analysis identified 34 pleiotropic loci shared between BMI and OA, of which seven were novel. Transcriptome-wide association study revealed 29 shared gene-tissue pairs, targeting nervous, digestive, and exo/endocrine systems. Mendelian randomization demonstrated a robust BMI-OA causal relationship (odds ratio = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.42-1.52). A similar pattern of effects was observed in sex- and site-specific analyses, with BMI affecting OA comparably in both sexes and most strongly in the knee. CONCLUSION Our work demonstrates an intrinsic relationship underlying BMI and overall OA, reflected by a pronounced phenotypic association, significant biological pleiotropy, and a putative causal link. Stratified analysis further reveals that the effects are distinct across sites and comparable across sexes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Omadacycline is approved for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) and acute bacterial skin and soft tissue infection (ABSSSI). The integration of newer agents into clinical use involves understanding the nuances of clinical decision-making. This review will provide an in-depth focus on omadacycline in clinical practice. AREAS COVERED Literature review of omadacycline utilizing PubMed was performed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of omadacycline pharmacology, microbiology, registrational Phase 3 clinical trials, and post-marketing clinical studies. In addition, the immunomodulatory and other attributes of tetracycline class of antibiotics, of which omadacycline is a member, are reviewed, introducing the concept of antibiotic selection with attention to the bacterial pathogen and human host relationship. EXPERT OPINION Omadacycline builds upon the favorable attributes of tetracycline antibiotics and provides very reliable empiric coverage for both Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus spp. Clinicians require a more robust understanding of antibiotics, including omadacycline, in order to optimize patient outcomes, streamline care, and reduce medical costs.

Abstract
Drug dosing in obese patients continues to be challenging due to a lack of high-quality evidence to guide dosing recommendations. We first published guidance for antibiotic dosing in obese adults in 2017, in which we critically reviewed articles identified from a broad search strategy to develop dosing recommendations for 35 antimicrobials. In this updated narrative review, we searched Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library using Medical Subject Headings including anti-infectives, specific generic antimicrobial names, obese, pharmacokinetics, and others. We reviewed 393 articles, cross-referenced select cited references, and when applicable, referenced drug databases, package inserts, and clinical trial data to update dosing recommendations for 41 antimicrobials. Most included articles were pharmacokinetic studies, other less frequently included articles were clinical studies (mostly small, retrospective), case reports, and very rarely, guidelines. Pharmacokinetic changes are frequently reported, can be variable, and sometimes conflicting in this population, and do not always translate to a documented difference in clinical outcomes, yet are used to inform dosing strategies. Extended infusions, high doses, and therapeutic drug monitoring remain important strategies to optimize dosing in this population. Additional studies are needed to clinically validate proposed dosing strategies, clarify optimal body size descriptors, dosing weight scalars, and estimation method of renal function in obese patients.

Abstract
The progressive increase in antibiotic resistance in recent decades calls for urgent development of new antibiotics and antibiotic stewardship programs to help select appropriate treatments with the goal of minimising further emergence of resistance and to optimise clinical outcomes. Three new tetracycline-class antibiotics, eravacycline, omadacycline, and tigecycline, have been approved within the past 15 years, and represent a new era in the use of tetracyclines. These drugs overcome the two main mechanisms of acquired tetracycline-class resistance and exhibit a broad spectrum of in vitro activity against gram-positive, gram-negative, anaerobic, and atypical pathogens, including many drug-resistant strains. We provide an overview of the three generations of tetracycline-class drugs, focussing on the efficacy, safety, and clinical utility of these three new third-generation tetracycline-class drugs. We also consider various scenarios of unmet clinical needs where patients might benefit from re-engagement with tetracycline-class antibiotics including outpatient treatment options, patients with known β-lactam antibiotic allergy, reducing the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection, and their potential as monotherapy in polymicrobial infections while minimising the risk of any potential drug-drug interaction. KEY MESSAGESThe long-standing safety profile and broad spectrum of activity of tetracycline-class antibiotics made them a popular choice for treatment of various bacterial infections; unfortunately, antimicrobial resistance has limited the utility of the early-generation tetracycline agents.The latest generation of tetracycline-class antibiotics, including eravacycline, tigecycline, and omadacycline, overcomes the most common acquired tetracycline resistance mechanisms.Based on in vitro characteristics and clinical data, these newer tetracycline agents provide an effective antibiotic option in the treatment of approved indications in patients with unmet clinical needs - including patients with severe penicillin allergy, with renal or hepatic insufficiency, recent Clostridioides difficile infection, or polymicrobial infections, and those at risk of drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
Omadacycline, a first-in-class aminomethylcycline antibiotic, is approved in the USA as intravenous (IV) and/or oral therapy for treatment of adults with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) or acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). Phase 1 and 3 studies indicate that omadacycline dose adjustments are not required for any patient group based on age, sex, race, weight, renal impairment, end-stage renal disease, or hepatic impairment. Equivalency of exposure has also been demonstrated for 300 mg oral and 100 mg IV doses. Using an oral loading-dose regimen results in drug exposures exceeding established efficacy targets against the most common CABP and ABSSSI pathogens by Day 2 of treatment, and omadacycline has demonstrated clinical efficacy and is well tolerated. The oral-only dosing regimens provide the potential for treatment of CABP and ABSSSI either within a hospital setting or in the community, which could support earlier hospital discharge and reduced treatment costs.

Abstract
Objectives We assessed the plasma and soft-tissue pharmacokinetic exposure of omadacycline in infected patients with diabetic foot infection (DFI) and healthy volunteers using in vivo microdialysis. Methods Eight patients and six healthy volunteers were enrolled and received an omadacycline IV loading dose (200 mg) followed by two oral doses (300 mg) every 24 h. Microdialysis catheters were placed in the soft tissue near the infected diabetic foot wound (patients) or thigh (healthy volunteers). Plasma and dialysate fluid samples were collected, starting immediately prior to the third dose and continued for 24 h post-dose. Protein binding was determined by ultracentrifugation. Results The mean ± SD omadacycline pharmacokinetic parameters in plasma for infected patients and healthy volunteers were: Cmax, 0.57 ± 0.15 and 1.14 ± 0.26 mg/L; t½, 16.19 ± 5.06 and 25.34 ± 12.92 h; and total omadacycline AUC0–24, 6.27 ± 1.38 and 14.06 ± 3.40 mg·h/L, respectively. The omadacycline mean plasma free fraction was 0.21 and 0.20 for patients and healthy volunteers, corresponding to free plasma AUC0–24 of 1.13 ± 0.37 and 2.78 ± 0.55 mg·h/L, respectively. Omadacycline tissue AUC0–24 was 0.82 ± 0.38 and 1.37 ± 0.48 mg·h/L for patients and volunteers, respectively. Conclusions The present study describes the plasma and soft-tissue exposure of omadacycline in patients with DFI and healthy volunteers. Integrating these data with the microbiological, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic and clinical efficacy data is foundational to support clinical assessments of omadacycline efficacy specifically for DFI. This, coupled with the once-daily oral administration, suggests omadacycline could be an advantageous translational therapy for the hospital and outpatient setting.
