The Banded One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Trial (RiMini Trial): Protocol of a Prospective Single-Center Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Long-term recurrent weight gain remains a persistent challenge in metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). One strategy for managing recurrent weight gain involves the placement of a non-adjustable silicone ring around the reduced stomach pouch. This technique may lead to more significant weight loss and a reduced risk of long-term recurrent weight gain.

Feasibility and Links Between Emotions, Physical States, and Eating Behavior in Patients After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery: Experience Sampling Study.

Background: Lifestyle modification is essential to achieve and maintain successful outcomes after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). Emotions, physical states, and contextual factors are considered important determinants of maladaptive eating behavior, emphasizing their significance in understanding and addressing weight management. In this context, experience sampling methodology (ESM) offers promise for measuring lifestyle and behavior in the patient's natural environment.

DELTO Study: Delphi Consensus on Long-Term Textbook Outcome After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery.

Background: This study aimed to create a comprehensive Core Outcome Set (COS) for assessing the long-term outcome (≥ 5 years) after Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS), through the use of the Delphi method.

Methods: The study utilized a three-phase approach. In Phase 1, a long list of items was identified through a literature review and expert input, forming the basis for an online Delphi survey.

Stereoselective Synthesis of -2,4-Disubstituted Tetrahydrofurans via a Pd-Catalyzed Hayashi-Heck Arylation and Rh-Catalyzed Hydroformylation Sequence.

A catalytic, two-step protocol for the expedient synthesis of -2,4-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans is described. In the first step, an enantioselective and regioselective Pd-catalyzed Hayashi-Heck arylation was developed using ()-hexaMeOBiphep to generate 5-aryl-2,3-dihydrofurans. A subsequent Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation step proceeds at low Rh loading with high regio- and diastereoselectivity for the -2,4-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran isomer.
