Immunometabolic Changes Following Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Comparative Study.

Background: Immunometabolism is the interaction between immune system and nutrient metabolism. Severe obesity is considered a state of meta-inflammation associated with obesity that influences the development of chronic-degenerative diseases.

Objective: We aimed to establish the immunometabolic differences in bariatric patients and to determine whether cellular immunity is associated with metabolic changes.

[Metabolic, clinical and body composition changes in Mexican adults undergoing bariatric surgery].

Background: morbid obesity is a major public health problem that is increasing. Currently, there are a limited number of studies carried out in the Mexican population that describe the effects of bariatric surgery. Objective: to establish in obese people who undergoing weight loss surgery, the metabolic and body composition difference before and after bariatric surgery.

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with liver fibrosis in patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery.

Background: Obesity is a significant risk factor for metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The association between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and liver fibrosis has not been fully elucidated in patients with obesity and MASLD.

Methods: This observational retrospective study included clinical and biochemical parameters of patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery.

Gallbladder plication as a rare complication of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty: A case report.

Background: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive procedure used in the treatment of obesity, with a complication rate of less than 2% of cases. There have been only two reported cases worldwide of gallbladder injuries as a major complication of ESG.

Case Summary: We present the case of a 34-year-old patient who developed a complication after ESG.

Presence of human adenovirus 36 in visceral fat tissue, viral load, and analysis of its genetic variability.

It has been proposed that infection by adipogenic viruses constitutes a "low risk" factor for obesity. Here, we report the presence of adenovirus 36 (Ad36) and its viral load copy number in fat tissue of participants with obesity and normal weight; phylogenetic analysis was performed to describe their relationship and genetic variability among viral haplotypes. Adipose tissue obtained from 105 adult patients with obesity (cases) and 26 normal-weight adult participants as controls were analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) amplifying the partial Ad36 E1a gene.
