Background: Several studies have documented a beneficial short-term effect on lipid profile after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), but there is limited data on long-term changes.
Objectives: To describe long-term (> 10 years) changes in lipid profile after RYGB and to explore the relationship of lipid changes to changes in weight and baseline and demographic parameters.
Methods: The BAROBS study is a prospective observational study post RYGB conducted at three different hospitals.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used a dual-frequency ultrasound method to evaluate liver fat in 24 Wistar rats, comparing those on a high-fat diet to a control group over different time periods.
- * Results showed that the ultrasound technique provided a strong correlation between measured fat content and actual liver fat levels, indicating its potential for clinical use in diagnosing fatty liver disease.
Background: Earlier studies have estimated the impact of increased body mass index (BMI) on healthcare costs. Various methods have been used to avoid potential biases and inconsistencies. Each of these methods measure different local effects and have different strengths and weaknesses.

Materials And Methods: The BAROPS study is a prospective observational study of patients who had follow-up > 10 years after RYGB. Patients with heart rate (HR) ≤ 50 bpm were compared to patients with HR > 50 bpm.
Background: Abdominal pain and postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) are common after bariatric surgery.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the potential relationship between abdominal pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and PBH more than a decade after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with dietary intervention has an educational role in reducing symptoms.
Subjects: At two public hospitals in Norway (one University Hospital) 22 of 46 invited patients who reported abdominal pain more than weekly took part.
