Objective This study aimed to investigate the complex relationships between demographic factors, oral health indicators, self-compassion, and psychological well-being among elderly individuals by using a path model analysis. Methods The findings of this cross-sectional study are derived from data collected from a sample of 204 patients, including 120 females and 84 males, aged between 60 and 92 years, with an average age of 74.2 years (SD = 7.

- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of infertility due to a lack of ovulation, and obesity worsens these reproductive issues; bariatric surgery might improve fertility rates but hasn't been vigorously tested against other treatments.
- This study involved 80 women with PCOS and obesity, who were randomly assigned to either undergo bariatric surgery (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) or receive behavioral and medical therapy to compare their impact on ovulation rates over a year.
- The study aimed to track the number of confirmed ovulatory events through regular progesterone testing, with results pending since participants were recruited between February 2020 and February 2021, and some participants dropped out of the trial.
Purpose: Chronic abdominal pain after RYGB is a known issue. Identifying the potential patient-related and modifiable risk factors might contribute to diminish the risk for this undesirable outcome.
Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study with prospective data collection was conducted with inclusion of all patients who underwent RYGB surgery between 2015 and 2021.
Inflammasomes are multimeric protein complexes, sensors of intracellular danger signals, and crucial components of the innate immune system, with the NLRP3 inflammasome being the best characterized among them. The increasing scientific interest in the mechanisms interconnecting inflammation and tumorigenesis has led to the study of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the setting of various neoplasms. Despite a plethora of data regarding solid tumors, NLRP3 inflammasome's implication in the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies only recently gained attention.

One possible mechanism for this is increased glycemic variability (GV) which occurs after bariatric surgery. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) versus vertical sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on GV during pregnancy and to investigate the relationships of GV, type of bariatric surgery and maternal and neonatal outcomes.
