The impact of duration and severity of obesity exposure on cardiometabolic health.

Purpose: Duration and severity of exposure to excess adipose tissue are important risk factors for complications, but are generally not examined in conjunction. We developed a metric considering both factors to examine the relationship between obesity-related complications and parameters of cardiometabolic health in patients undergoing a metabolic bariatric procedure (MBS).

Materials & Methods: Data from patients screened for primary MBS between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed.

A randomized controlled trial of rectal versus intramuscular diclofenac for post-operative analgesia after open myomectomy.

Aim: To determine the efficacy and safety of rectal versus intramuscularly administered Diclofenac in reducing post-operative pain in the first 24 h after open-myomectomy.

Methods: A single blind, placebo controlled randomized trial consisting of 90 consenting women that had open-abdominal-myomectomy. They were randomized into two-groups (rectal-group and intramuscular-group) of 45 women (1:1 ratio).

Lessons Learned from Telemonitoring in an Outpatient Bariatric Surgery Pathway-Secondary Outcomes of a Patient Preference Clinical Trial.

Background: Remote monitoring is increasingly used to support postoperative care. This study aimed to describe the lessons learned from the use of telemonitoring in an outpatient bariatric surgery pathway.

Materials And Methods: Patients were assigned based on their preference to an intervention cohort of same-day discharge after bariatric surgery.

Heparin-resistance in AL amyloidosis: a case report.

Background: Non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance during CPB occurs by complex-forming with heparin-binding proteins. Currently, there are no specific recommendations for non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance.

Case Presentation: We present a fatal case of a 70-yr-old male-patient undergoing cardiac-surgery in which refractory heparin-resistance was observed.

Telemonitoring for perioperative care of outpatient bariatric surgery: Preference-based randomized clinical trial.

Importance: Implementation of bariatric surgery on an outpatient basis is hampered by concerns about timely detection of postoperative complications. Telemonitoring could enhance detection and support transition to an outpatient recovery pathway.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate non-inferiority and feasibility of an outpatient recovery pathway after bariatric surgery, supported by remote monitoring compared to standard care.
