Article Synopsis
- Obesity significantly increases the risk of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and this study aimed to examine how prevalent SIBO is in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, along with its clinical and nutritional effects over 24 months.
- The study involved 51 patients (mostly women with high BMI) who were tested for SIBO and other health indicators before and at various points after their surgery, revealing that 17.6% had SIBO pre-surgery, which skyrocketed to 89.5% post-surgery.
- The findings indicate a sharp rise in SIBO prevalence following surgery, leading to symptoms like anal incontinence and fatty diarrhea due to lipid
Article Synopsis
- Recent research links loss of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to cognitive decline, suggesting a similar mechanism may underlie neurological symptoms in post-COVID patients.
- Investigations revealed persistent low testosterone levels in some men post-COVID could indicate hypothalamic impact, connecting hormonal changes to cognitive issues.
- Dysfunction of GnRH neurons and certain brain cells due to SARS-CoV-2 could lead to reproductive, metabolic, and mental health problems, potentially increasing risks for neurological disorders across all ages.
[The effect of body mass index on outcome of body contouring surgeries].

Background: The generalization of bariatric surgery interventions has led in recent years to an explosion in demand for body contouring surgeries. These operations can be followed by postoperative complications; and residual obesity, defined by a BMI≥30, is traditionally considered as a relative contraindication. The objective is to study the influence of a BMI≥30 on the risk of postoperative complications.

Despite a growing interest in legitimacy in recent decades and in the psychological field in particular, its definitions and measurements appear to be heterogeneous, subject to debate and in need of a common theoretical framework. Therefore, one can expect these limitations to also concern the definitions and measurements of legitimacy in the field of road safety.

Although many patients report high levels of postoperative satisfaction after BS, some remain unsatisfied with their outcome. Studies of factors that predict postoperative satisfaction have yielded varying results.
