Alcohol sensitivity in women after undergoing bariatric surgery: a cross-sectional study January 23, 2020

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), the most common bariatric surgeries performed worldwide, increase the risk to develop an alcohol use disorder (AUD). This might be due, in part, to surgery-related changes in alcohol pharmacokinetics. Another risk factor, unexplored within this population, is having a reduced subjective response to alcohol’s sedative effects.

Long-Term Outcomes Comparing Metabolic Surgery to No Surgery in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Body Mass Index 30-35 January 23, 2020

We previously conducted a randomized study comparing metabolic surgery to medical weight management (MWM) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and body mass index (BMI) 30-35 kg/m2. At three-year follow-up, surgery was very effective in T2D remission; furthermore, in the surgical group, those with a higher baseline soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products […]

Maternal and Fetal Outcomes of Asian Pregnancies After Bariatric Surgery January 23, 2020

Obesity is a risk factor for pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), Pre-Eclampsia (PE), Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and Large Gestational Age (LGA) pregnancy. Bariatric surgery is widely accepted to treat obesity but associated with small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses.
