Efficacy and Safety of Bariatric Surgery in Dutch People Living with HIV: a Retrospective Matched Cohort Analysis.

Purpose: Obesity is rising among people with HIV (PLWH), sparking interest in bariatric surgery (BS) for this group. Yet, large-scale comparative research on BS outcomes in PLWH is lacking.

Methods: We performed a retrospective, matched cohort analysis in PLWH and HIV uninfected controls.

Changes in nutrient composition and diet quality in the first 6 months following bariatric surgery: An observational cohort study.

Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) may result in inadequate nutrient intake and poor diet quality, which can lead to nutritional complications. The present study aimed to evaluate changes in macro- and micronutrient composition and diet quality in the first 6 months following BS.

Methods: One hundred seven participants undergoing BS (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: n = 87, sleeve gastrectomy: n = 20) completed 3-day food records before and 6 months after surgery.

Preoperative Weight Gain Is Not Related to Lower Postoperative Weight Loss, But to Lower Total Weight Loss up to 3 Years After Bariatric-Metabolic Surgery.

Introduction: Weight loss prior to bariatric-metabolic surgery (BMS) is recommended in most bariatric centers. However, there is limited high-quality evidence to support mandatory preoperative weight loss. In this study, we will evaluate whether weight gain prior to primary BMS is related to lower postoperative weight loss.

Radiofrequency ablation for autonomously functioning nodules as treatment for hyperthyroidism: subgroup analysis of toxic adenoma and multinodular goitre and predictors for treatment success.

Purpose: Treatment of hyperthyroidism caused by autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTN) with I often leads to undesirable hypothyroidism. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a promising alternative. This retrospective analysis aimed to examine the efficacy of, and postprocedural hypothyroidism after, RFA for AFTN.
