COVID-19 era and GLP-1 RA era: Is it a renaissance when the dusk of global tragedy co-occurring with the dawn of magical remedy?
The hypothesis is that the world should explore to either validate or refute whether glucagon-like peptide–1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are drawing some if not all of their all-rounder multisystem capacities in general and their weight-reducing capabilities in particular as catalyzed by natural and/or vaccine-induced immunities against SARS-CoV-2 and their variants implicated as the causative agents for onset and evolution of COVID-19 pandemic globally. The simplest initial exploration could be healthcare systems running queries in their historical databases to assess whether patients who have been receiving GLP-1 RAs since before the pandemic are reporting significantly larger weight-loss since after the pandemic, and if it is so, then whether those significant results could be validated with laboratory and basic research to demonstrate antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 acting as catalysts for larger weight-loss with GLP-1 RAs.
期刊介绍:
Medical Hypotheses is a forum for ideas in medicine and related biomedical sciences. It will publish interesting and important theoretical papers that foster the diversity and debate upon which the scientific process thrives. The Aims and Scope of Medical Hypotheses are no different now from what was proposed by the founder of the journal, the late Dr David Horrobin. In his introduction to the first issue of the Journal, he asks ''what sorts of papers will be published in Medical Hypotheses? and goes on to answer ''Medical Hypotheses will publish papers which describe theories, ideas which have a great deal of observational support and some hypotheses where experimental support is yet fragmentary''. (Horrobin DF, 1975 Ideas in Biomedical Science: Reasons for the foundation of Medical Hypotheses. Medical Hypotheses Volume 1, Issue 1, January-February 1975, Pages 1-2.). Medical Hypotheses was therefore launched, and still exists today, to give novel, radical new ideas and speculations in medicine open-minded consideration, opening the field to radical hypotheses which would be rejected by most conventional journals. Papers in Medical Hypotheses take a standard scientific form in terms of style, structure and referencing. The journal therefore constitutes a bridge between cutting-edge theory and the mainstream of medical and scientific communication, which ideas must eventually enter if they are to be critiqued and tested against observations.
