Rate of Cardiovascular Events and Safety Outcomes Seven Years Following Gastric Bypass Versus Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Objective: The study aimed to assess major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), complications requiring revision surgery, and bariatric conversion surgery 7 years after gastric bypass (GB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) using real-world data.

Background: GB and SG both result in weight loss and improved cardiometabolic health. Whether the long-term rate of MACE differs between the 2 bariatric procedures is unclear.

Changes in skin-physiology after local heat application using two different methods in individuals with complete paraplegia: a feasibility and safety trial.

Study Design: Interventional feasibility study.

Objectives: To evaluate safety and effects of local heat preconditioning on skin physiology using water-filtered infrared-A radiation (wIRA) or warm water therapy (wWT) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Setting: Acute and rehabilitation center, specialized in SCI.
