Abstract
Purpose of review: Gain insight on the effect of some recently studied nutrients and nutritional markers on the COVID-19 disease course.
Recent findings: In vitro studies indicate that SCFAs do not interfere with SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. Observational studies indicate that eating processed or red meat three or more times per week had overall higher risk of pneumonia. Studies suggest that markers of regular outdoor physical activity (high HDL, lack of vitamin D deficiency, lack of obesity, etc.) prevent severe complications of COVID-19.
Summary: Although no definitive nutrients were found to significantly alter the COVID-19 disease course, some therapeutic candidates such as calcium, vitamin D, and albumin were surmised. Other nutrients that modulate serum lipid levels, cytokine levels, and albumin levels may hold promise for prevention of morbid or fatal outcomes related to COVID-19, as does the reduction of red or processed meat consumption.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of surgery. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those for whom the elucidation of novel surgical techniques and related technologies is essential. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include bariatric surgery; CT screening; endovascular treatment of complex vasculopathies; minimally invasive surgery; natural orifice surgery; and transplantation.
