Summary: This study evaluated the long-term cardiovascular outcomes of bariatric surgery in the Medicare population and found that it is associated with a lower risk of mortality, new-onset heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The benefits of bariatric surgery were especially evident in patients aged 65 and older.

Summary: Revisional bariatric surgery is becoming more popular as long-term follow-up studies show a high failure rate of primary surgery. This study aimed to determine the best revisional procedure after failure of primary restrictive surgery. The results showed that biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass were the most effective procedures in terms of weight loss.

Summary: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of medical therapy, sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in patients with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The results showed that RYGB is the most cost-effective treatment strategy, resulting in the highest number of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term consequences of laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) in obese patients. The results showed a significant reduction in BMI at 2 years, but a plateau at 3 and 4 years, with a significant BMI increase at 6 years. Weight regain was observed in 35 patients at the 6-year mark, resulting in a high rate of revisions. Predictors for weight regain included disrupted plication fold, increased hunger, and non-adherence to regular exercise.

Summary: The study findings suggest that in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery may be associated with greater weight loss, better diabetes control, and lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and nephropathy compared with sleeve gastrectomy (SG) surgery.

Summary: This study examined the outcomes of patients diagnosed with malignancy before and after bariatric surgery in a French multisite cohort. The results showed that patients with a history of malignancy and those diagnosed with postoperative malignancy mainly had breast and gynecologic cancers. It was found that the weight loss outcomes one and two years after surgery were similar in both groups. Furthermore, the study suggests that a history of malignancy should not be considered an absolute contraindication for bariatric surgery.

Summary: This study examines the association between bariatric surgery and adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women. It finds that bariatric surgery is associated with a reduction in the risks for gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, chorioamnionitis, cesarean delivery, large for gestational age neonate, macrosomia, and neonatal intensive care unit admission. However, it is also associated with an increased risk for small for gestational age neonates.

Summary: Obesity is linked to worsened asthma outcomes, but bariatric surgery has shown to be effective in weight loss and asthma improvement. Compared to nonsurgical weight loss programs, bariatric surgery offers greater weight loss and more consistent improvement in asthma symptoms. However, more research is needed to study the effects of surgery on both mild and severe asthma cases.

Summary: Among patients with severe obesity undergoing SG and RYGB, significantly more weight loss was observed at 5 years compared to nonsurgical patients. Weight regain was common after surgery, but regain to within 5% of baseline was rare.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between beta cell function and total body weight loss (TBWL%) 1 to 4 years after bariatric surgery in patients with morbid obesity. The results showed that baseline beta cell function was associated with long-term weight loss, especially after the first year post-surgery. This may be a helpful predictor of weight loss in clinical practice.

Summary: A longitudinal study examined the duration of antibodies after COVID-19 infection. The results showed that the expected antibody response significantly increased within the first 100 days post-infection, and individuals may remain antibody positive beyond 500 days depending on age, body mass index, smoking or vaping use, and disease severity.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the growth of children exposed to drugs during pregnancy. The results showed that children born with low birthweight and exposed to multiple types of tobacco/opioid drugs had lower BMI percentiles from 2-16 years compared to unexposed children. Specific combinations of drug use appeared to delay or accelerate growth at different stages of childhood for those born with low birthweight.

Summary: This study investigated the use of marijuana, conventional cigarettes, and alternate tobacco products/devices in young adults after pediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery. The results showed that both surgical and nonsurgical groups continued to use these substances up to 6 years post-surgery. The use of tobacco products/devices after surgery was associated with lower body mass index and greater weight loss.

Summary: This study aimed to determine if depression and anxiety are associated with MBS completion and if this varies by race and ethnicity. The results showed that participants with anxiety were less likely to complete MBS, and women were more likely to have anxiety. These findings can provide risk factors for non-completion in pre-MBS programs.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to investigate the prevalence of internalizing symptomatology among Multiracial adolescents in the United States and to report on the methods utilized to measure Multiracial race and internalizing symptoms. The study found significant variability in prevalence estimates for internalizing symptoms among Multiracial adolescents, depending on the specific symptom examined and the measurement method used. This review highlights the gaps in current knowledge and methodological inconsistencies in understanding internalizing symptoms among this population, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive epidemiological research.
