Gastric bypass is a clinical option for obesity surgery. An increased susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori infection in the bypassed stomach has been speculated. The aim of the present study was to examine the susceptibility of the bypassed stomach to H. pylori infection in rats and mice. Adult Sprague-Dawley and Wistar rats and NMRI mice were subjected to either gastric bypass or laparotomy only as control. The animals were inoculated with the CagA- and VacA- positive H. pylori strain 67/21 (not mouse-adapted) in the first experiment and with 9 additional isolates in the second, by injection into the bypassed stomach or the control stomach during surgery. The stomach of each animal was collected for H. pylori culture 2-3 weeks later. While all the rats were H. pylori negative, 54% of gastric bypassed mice and 75% of controls were positive (P = 0.4). We conclude that susceptibility to H. pylori infection in the stomach is not increased by gastric bypass surgery.

Gastric partitioning versus gastrojejunostomy for gastric outlet obstruction due to unresectable gastric cancer: randomized clinical trial.
BJS Open

Department of Gastroenterology, Hospital das Clinicas HCFMUSP, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Sao Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Gastric outlet obstruction due to unresectable tumours is usually managed with a gastrojejunostomy. Unfortunately, the unsatisfactory outcomes of this procedure have led to the search for alternatives, including gastric partitioning.
Methods: Monocentric, randomized, parallel, open-label trial that included patients with obstructive, unresectable distal gastric tumours.
Outcomes of Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass With Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S): A Single Bariatric Center Experience.

Introduction Bariatric surgery is increasingly employed to address the global burden of morbid obesity, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) representing the predominant procedure. However, some patients, particularly those with extreme obesity (BMI >50 kg/m²), may experience unsatisfactory weight-related outcomes following RYGB. While biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) offers superior weight reduction for this population, its complexity and associated risks limit its widespread use.

Background: Post bariatric hypoglycaemic (PBH) is a late complication of weight loss surgery, characterised by critically low blood glucose levels following meal-induced glycaemic excursions. The disabling consequences of PBH underline the need for the development of a decision support system (DSS) that can warn individuals about upcoming PBH events, thus enabling preventive actions to avoid impending episodes. In view of this, we developed various algorithms based on linear and deep learning models to forecast PBH episodes in the short-term.

Background: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is an analytical technique increasingly applied in biological analysis. This study investigates the application of FTIR to identify early biochemical changes, particularly in lipid profiles, in individuals undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
Methods: An observational study involving patients from a university hospital's Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Program, with evaluations performed before (T0) and two months after (T1) RYGB.

Background: Metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) remains the most effective and long-lasting treatment for obesity and its complications. Apart from any surgical complications, the often less obvious but possibly severe side-effects of nutritional deficiencies have become of interest in recent years. OAGB is known to come with the need for thorough supplementation.
