The impact of obesity surgery on newborn anthropometrics in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome.

Purpose: Obesity surgery and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are both associated with increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction. We investigated whether offspring of mothers with PCOS who underwent obesity surgery had an increased risk of deviating birth anthropometrics compared to offspring of mothers without PCOS.

Methods: In this observational study, data from two study databases (BAROBS and PregMet2) were supplemented with data from patient's records from secondary and tertiary hospitals.

The Prevalence of Bradycardia 12 Years After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass for Severe Obesity.

Purpose: The aim was to describe the frequency of bradycardia 12 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), relations to weight loss, patient characteristics, and the clinical impact.

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.

Proton Shell Gaps in N=28 Nuclei from the First Complete Spectroscopy Study with FRIB Decay Station Initiator.

The first complete measurement of the β-decay strength distribution of _{17}^{45}Cl_{28} was performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) with the FRIB Decay Station Initiator during the second FRIB experiment. The measurement involved the detection of neutrons and γ rays in two focal planes of the FRIB Decay Station Initiator in a single experiment for the first time. This enabled an analytical consistency in extracting the β-decay strength distribution over the large range of excitation energies, including neutron unbound states.

Postbariatric hypoglycemia, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal symptoms after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass explored by continuous glucose monitoring.

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.

Long-term changes in lung function after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with severe obesity.

Obesity can decrease the lung function. The proposed mechanisms of reduced lung function in persons with obesity have been altered mechanical properties in the lung and chest wall, airway narrowing and increased respiratory resistance. The aim of this current study was to analyse the long-term results after gastric bypass surgery in patients with reduced lung function.
