Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The Effect of Bariatric Surgery After Five Years-A Prospective Multicenter Trial.

Background: The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is high among the bariatric surgery candidates. Obesity is the most important individual risk factor for OSA. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) on OSA 5 years after the surgery.

Correlation of fatigue with disability and accelerometer-measured daily physical activity in patients with relapsing-remitting MS.

Background: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, measuring its effects on patients in daily life is challenging. This study aimed to discover the association between relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients' disability, fatigue, and accelerometer-measured physical activity.

Effectiveness of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Weight Loss in Patients With Obesity Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Severe obesity is a major health concern. However, a few patients remain resistant to bariatric surgery and other treatments. Animal studies suggest that weight may be altered by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from a lean donor.

Obstructive sleep apnea: the effect of bariatric surgery after 12 months. A prospective multicenter trial.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder, particularly in bariatric patients. It is known to be tightly linked with metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular morbidity. Obesity is the most noteworthy individual risk factor for OSA.

The Use of MoCA and Other Cognitive Tests in Evaluation of Cognitive Impairment in Elderly Patients Undergoing Arthroplasty.

Objective: To examine the prevalence and effect of cognitive impairment on treatment outcomes in elderly patients undergoing arthroplasty and to describe the feasibility of cognitive tests.

Materials And Methods: The participants were 52 patients with a mean age of 78 years 11 months (SD: 3.3), waiting for primary arthroplasty.
