A growing global trend of adult obesity and the increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity in children indicate a higher risk in the future of adult diseases related to obesity. Current anti-obesity medications regulate appetite and metabolism by acting either in peripheral tissues or in the central nervous system. On the other hand, subsequent weight regain is a typical response to weight loss methods, and there is little evidence that current anti-obesity medications can help maintain long-term weight loss without causing a range of undesirable side effects. The combination of anti-obesity drugs targets multiple molecular pathways and structures in the central nervous system that are involved in weight regulation. This systematic review involves trials performed in pediatric populations, published up to 2025 and systematically searched on the ClinicalTrials.gov database, using “Glucagon like peptide-1 analog, Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists” as the criterion for the “Intervention/treatment” category. We evaluated the entero-insular axis in pediatric patients with obesity, along with the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of the Glucagon like peptide-1receptor agonists. We analyzed incretin hormones and summarized the drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Our objective is to identify new treatment strategies as we improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of obesity and the incretin axis.

Background: This study investigates bacterial etiology and antibiotic resistance in pediatric leukemia patients to determine the impact of chronic pathology on treatment efficacy. Methods: Thirty cases of children aged 1–16 years (18 boys, 12 girls) were analyzed, identifying 13 pathogens, including 8 Gram-positive and 5 Gram-negative bacteria. Results: Among the patients, 11 girls presented with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) type B, while one boy and one girl had acute myeloid leukemia, and, as for boys, three had ALL type T and two had pre-B ALL. The most common pathogens were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, 11 patients), methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA, 6 patients), Klebsiella spp., and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Due to the patients’ compromised health, most required intensive care and strong antibiotic regimens, including linezolid, vancomycin, and ertapenem, which showed limited resistance. Conclusions: These findings highlight the critical importance of understanding bacterial resistance patterns to guide effective treatments in vulnerable populations. Knowing specific resistance profiles can be lifesaving, allowing for tailored therapies that improve survival rates in children with leukemia facing serious bacterial infections. Focusing on the dual aspects of pediatric patients and multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, this study aims to highlight the importance of addressing these factors together to enhance therapeutic approaches in vulnerable populations.
