Background: Urinary collection over 24 h is a cornerstone in the care of patients with nephrolithiasis, obesity, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The completeness of 24-h urinary collection is assessed by urinary creatinine excretion, which reflects the muscle mass. Hence, it is of paramount importance to define expected values of daily urinary creatinine excretion to correctly interpret urinary collection.

However, the extent to which nutritional and functional outcomes are evaluated remains uncertain. Thus, we conducted a systematic mapping to assess the presence of nutritional and functional outcomes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating NuSHs.

We examined the outcome of obese patients who underwent BS after the age of 69 in the French population. Operated subjects were matched with non-operated obese patients (n = 1307 in each group after matching).

Objective: To examine the association between healthy lifestyle factors and the incidence of major obesity-related diseases in adults with obesity compared with those with normal weight.
Background: People are conversing about bariatric surgery on social media, but little is known about the main themes being discussed.
Objective: To analyze discussions regarding bariatric surgery on social media platforms and to establish a cross-cultural comparison of posts geolocated in France and the United States.
Methods: Posts were retrieved between January 2015 and April 2021 from general, publicly accessed sites and health-related forums geolocated in both countries.
Background: Despite bariatric surgery showing significant weight loss trajectories for many patients, a substantial proportion regain weight after the first year following surgery. The addition of telemedicine to standard care could support patients with engaging in a more active lifestyle and thus improve clinical outcomes.
Objective: Our aim was to evaluate a telemedicine intervention program dedicated to the promotion of physical activity including digital devices, teleconsultation, and telemonitoring the first 6 months following bariatric surgery.

Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is increasingly used in the setting of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). However, little is known about the role of primary EUS-GE. The aim of the present study is to compare the outcomes of EUS-GE by using the freehand technique as a first- and second-line approach after enteral stenting (ES).

Most patients who undergo MBS are women of childbearing age. Data in the scientific literature are generally of a low quality due to a lack of well-controlled prospective trials regarding obstetric, neonatal, and child outcomes.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: It has been suggested that shortening the length of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) to 150 cm in one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) would reduce nutritional complication rates without impairing weight loss outcomes. The aim of this study is to compare patients who underwent OAGB with a 200-cm BPL (OAGB-200) to patients with OAGB with a 150-cm BPL (OAGB-150) in terms of weight loss and late morbidity.
Methods: This is a monocentric retrospective matched cohort study including patients with a body mass index between 35 and 50 kg/m who underwent an OAGB-150 or an OAGB-200.
Objective: Studies on obesity costs have focused on global costs of people with obesity but scarcely investigated their precise use of health care. The aim of this study is to document real-life health care use across obesity classes.
Methods: Data of participants with obesity and enrolled in the CONSTANCES cohort were analyzed.
While research publications on bariatric surgery (BS) have grown significantly over the past decade, there is no mapping of the existing body of evidence on this field of research. We performed a systematic review followed by a mapping of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in BS for people with obesity. From January 2020 to December 2020, we performed a systematic review of RCTs evaluating BS, versus another surgical procedure, or versus a medical control group, through a search of Embase and PubMed.

This complication can be treated either with an additional enteroenterostomy without shortening of gastric pouch (long biliopancreatic limb Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L-BPL-RYGB)) or revision to conventional short biliopancreatic limb Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (S-BPL-RYGB).

However, there are no data on gut hormone secretions after OAGB. The aim of this study was to compare fasting and postprandial secretions of gut and pancreatic hormones in OAGB versus RYGB patients.
