Background: In bariatric surgery, inflammatory biomarkers predict outcomes. Limited research on complete blood cell (CBC) markers stresses the need for correlation study. This research explores links between CBC inflammatory markers, body changes, and fatty liver grades in Iranian bariatric patients.

However, the overall effects of these diets on various outcomes remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the impact of preoperative restricted calorie diets on weight, body mass index (BMI), operation time (OT), and hospital stay (HS) in bariatric surgery patients.

The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of vitamin D deficiency on clinical outcomes following elective spinal fusion surgery by conducting a meta-analysis on the relevant literature.
Methods: Studies included in this analysis involved patients older than 18 years who underwent elective spinal fusion surgery.

Objective: Obesity is an important issue in spine surgeries due to its negative effects on the quality of surgery, more complications, and adverse consequences. This study compared the outcomes of obese and non-obese patients undergoing instrumented posterior fusion surgery in the lumbar spine.
Methods: In this prospective observational study conducted in a university hospital, we compared the rate of vertebral fusion, surgical site infection (SSI), pain, and disability in 160 patients undergoing instrumented posterior fusion surgery in the lumbar spine between obese and non-obese patients.
This study review the prevalence of selenium deficiency after bariatric surgery, incidence, and symptoms. A systematic literature search and meta-analysis was performed in PubMed and Scopus for articles published by November 1, 2021, including the keywords "Roux-en Y gastric bypass", "RYGB", "Omega bypass", "Mini bypass", "One anastomosis gastric bypass", "Bariatric surgery", "Weight loss surgery", "Metabolic surgery", "Gastric bypass", "Loop gastric bypass", "Selenium", "Selenium deficiency", or a combination of aimed tothem in the title or abstract. In this review, nine studies examining a total of 1174 patients were included in this meta-analysis.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of protein supplementation on vertebral fusion and enhanced recovery after posterior spine fusion (PSF) surgery.
Summary Of Background Data: Nonfusion is one of the most common complications of lumbar spine surgery.
Background: Dysfunction and weakness due to atrophy of the paraspinal muscles is a major issue after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) surgery, resulting in pain and disability. Considering the role of protein in muscle regeneration, it seems that protein supplements after surgery may prevent muscle atrophy. To date, to our knowledge, no intervention study has investigated the effect of protein supplementation on the volume of paraspinal muscles, pain, or disability after PSF.

Background: There are no data on the validity of the modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (m-NUTRIC)-score and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002)-score in Iranian intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) is still used in most Iranian ICUs. Our goal was to test the validity of these tools in the Iranian ICU population.

Although many studies have been done to determine the relationship between BMI and risk of mortality in the ICU, their results were inconsistent. This study aimed to conduct a dose-response meta-analysis of published observational studies to assess the effect of BMI on the risk of mortality in patients admitted to the ICU.
