The Effect of Metabolic Bariatric Surgery on Cardiovascular Risks: A Prospective Study Measuring Antibodies to Apolipoprotein A-1.

Background: Obesity is a chronic disease associated with other associated medical problems, including atherogenic dyslipidemia. Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) has been shown to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk (CVR). Anti-ApoA-1 antibodies (AAA1) are independently associated with cardiovascular disease, which remains a major cause of death in individuals with obesity.

Early Weight Recidivism Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Although weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) can be substantial, weight recidivism is still a major concern. The aim of our work is to study early weight recidivism following LSG and to evaluate the role of gastric computed tomography volumetry (GCTV) in the assessment of patients experiencing early weight regain.

Methods: One-hundred and one morbidly obese patients undergoing LSG were prospectively studied.

A rare case of acute abdomen due to strangulated Waldayer's hernia.

Introduction: An internal hernia is the herniation of an intestinal segment into an intra-peritoneal fossa, is an uncommon cause for intestinal obstruction and is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.

Presentation Of Case: We report a male patient 19 years old presenting with acute abdomen due to a strangulated Waldayer's hernia.

Discussion: The paraduodenal hernias are more common in males (M:F ratio 3:1).
