Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery in Patients on Chronic Opioids: Can Bariatric Surgery Assist with Decreasing Long-term Opioid Utilization?

Purpose: The aim of our study was to assess long-term opioid use following bariatric surgery in patients on preoperative narcotics.

Methods: We evaluated patients utilizing preoperative opioids (OP) who underwent primary laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) from 2013 to 2020. Patients were propensity-matched to those without preoperative opioid use (NOP) by demographics and comorbidities.

Quaternary ammonium disinfectants cause subfertility in mice by targeting both male and female reproductive processes.

Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC) and didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) are common ingredients in household bathroom and kitchen cleaning sprays. ADBAC+DDAC cause reproductive toxicity in mice. The aim of the present study was to investigate gender-specific reproductive effects from ADBAC+DDAC.
