Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore pediatric physical therapists' (PTs') experiences including successes, challenges, and barriers with cross-cultural communication with Arabic-speaking Middle Eastern children and their families who require interpreter services.
Methods: Eight PTs consented to participate in qualitative dyadic interviews. Transcription and interviews were conducted virtually in Microsoft Teams.
Background: Many patients complain of nutritional symptoms after bariatric surgery (BS), including hair loss, cramps, and paresthesia, but their link with biological alterations has been poorly studied.
Objectives: To assess in a large cohort of subjects the relationship between nutritional symptoms and biological deficits both in the short term (ST ≤ 1 year) and long term (LT ≥ 3 years) after the 2 most common procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
Methods: Nutritional symptoms and biological parameters (including vitamins, minerals, and protein parameters) were prospectively recorded.
Background: Many studies have shown that hyperfiltration induced by obesity decreases after bariatric surgery, while others also showed an increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Furthermore, the factors that influence GFR after bariatric surgery have been poorly studied. The objective was to study the impact of bariatric surgery on renal function and clarify the factors that determine the evolution of GFR after surgery.

Background: Long-term prospective data on nutritional complications after GBP are missing. It is not known whether severe deficiencies are prevented by standard multivitamin supplementation and what parameters are influenced by patient adherence to nutritional care.
Article Synopsis
- Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is believed to cause fewer nutritional deficiencies than gastric bypass (GBP), but a study comparing the two procedures matched subjects for weight loss to assess nutritional outcomes.
- Results showed that while significant differences in certain nutritional parameters existed between the two procedures post-surgery, the overall number of deficiencies did not increase and weight loss was similar for both groups.
- Some specific nutritional markers were adversely affected after GBP, suggesting potential malabsorption or changes in liver metabolism, despite systematic multivitamin supplementation after surgery.
