During major flood events, waterborne contaminants are relatively poorly characterized. This is due to logistical difficulties associated with obtaining water samples in potentially dangerous flood conditions. Herein, we report analyses of water samples from a large, flooded landscape in Victoria, Australia, during a major flood event.

Therefore, alterations in gastrointestinal anatomy during bariatric surgery can change SGLT and GLUT receptor activity. These changes offer an additional mechanism for weight loss and may explain the differential impact of the various bariatric surgical procedures.

However, outcomes vary based on patient's BMI. Single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve (SADI-S) is a novel procedure with promising short-term results.

- - A global trend is shifting outpatient procedures, including sleeve gastrectomy (SG), to ambulatory surgical settings, but more research is needed to confirm safety before broad implementation.
- - This study focuses on collecting data from 365 patients who underwent outpatient laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, ensuring it meets the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery’s criteria for safety.
- - Results showed low complication rates (1.6%) and no reported mortalities, indicating that same-day discharge after SG can be safe for carefully selected patients in experienced medical centers.
