AI Article Synopsis

  • This study reviews the existing literature on nutritional, fluid, and exercise guidelines for patients who have had bariatric surgery, highlighting a lack of strong evidence to support current recommendations, which are mostly based on expert opinion.* -
  • Nutritional deficiencies are frequently seen in these patients, and routine screening along with nutrient replacement tends to address most of these issues effectively.* -
  • Engaging in increased physical activity prior to surgery has shown to enhance quality of life, and walking is recommended as a primary form of exercise post-surgery, with pedometers suggested as a helpful tool for tracking activity.*

Article Abstract

Unlabelled: To review the literature for nutritional, fluid, and exercise recommendations in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Data Sources: PubMed (1980 - October 2008). The bibliographies of selected literature were reviewed for additional sources. A systematic review of the literature is presented. There is little high-quality evidence to support any recommendations currently. Most recommendations are expert opinion. Nutritional deficiencies are common. Routine screening and nutrient replacement is adequate for most deficiencies. Increased physical activity before surgery is associated with improved quality of life. Walking is adequate as a primary activity after surgery. Pedometers may serve as a useful tool to help guide exercise recommendations. There is need for further research upon specific exercise recommendations.

These contractures may result from repeated intramuscular injections during childhood. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic process, treatment, and outcomes can provide insights into effective management strategies.

Orthobiologic injections including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and cell-based injections are becoming increasingly popular. Evidence suggests that these therapies can be effective in certain situations. The efficacy of these injections may be more dependent on the quality of the injectate, which given their autologous nature, may be dependent on lifestyle choices like exercise, diet, and supplements.

Background: Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) has demonstrated efficacy in acutely improving athletic performance. However, its distinction from general warm-up (GW) effects remains ambiguous, and experimental designs adopted in most PAPE studies exhibit important limitations.

Objectives: The aims of this work are to (i) examine the effects of research methodology on PAPE outcomes, (ii) explore PAPE outcomes in relation to comparison methods, performance measures, GW comprehensiveness, recovery duration, participants' characteristics, conditioning activity (CA) parameters, and (iii) make recommendations for future PAPE experimental designs on the basis of the results of the meta-analysis.
