Background: Malnutrition is a rare but severe complication following obesity surgery. Our objective was to analyze these cases of malnutrition and their management at the Grenoble University Hospital.

Methods: Retrospective data between 2006 to 2016 was analyzed from Department of Medical Information, Severe Obesity Outcome Network, and register of the Department of Artificial Nutrition. Data collected concerned age, sex, anthropometric data, surgical procedures and history of obesity surgery, initial surgical follow-up, delay from surgery, nutritional characteristics, nutritional and surgical management, follow-up and outcomes.

Results: Six patients had protein malnutrition after obesity surgery. Five patients (N.=5/6 83%) were initially operated on in other establishments. Only 1 patient in the cohort of 484 patients operated at on our institution was suffering from malnutrition (N.=1/484, 0.2%). All patients showed an excess weight loss of over 100%. Albumin level averaged 24.8 g/L at time of diagnosis. Patients were mainly operated on for an omega bypass (N.=4/6, 66%). Delay of malnutrition was 17.25 months in this category of patients whereas it was 84 months in patients having been operated on by another intervention. 3 patients (i.e. 50%) had chronic kidney disease when their initial surgery was performed. Two patients presented acute idiopathic pancreatitis following obesity surgery.

Conclusions: Patients are at risk of malnutrition, especially after omega bypass and in patients with chronic kidney disease. Occurrence of acute pancreatitis is an alert to the risk of malnutrition.

Background: Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, primarily due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, leads to impaired cortisol and aldosterone production and excess adrenal androgens. Lifelong glucocorticoid therapy is required, often necessitating supraphysiological doses in youth to manage androgen excess and growth acceleration. These patients experience higher obesity rates, hypertension, and glucose metabolism issues, complicating long-term health management.

Background: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a suitable solution for the treatment of morbid obesity. Investigating an MBS method that has the best outcomes has always been the main concern of physicians. The current study aimed to compare nutritional, anthropometric, and psychological complications of individuals undergoing various MBS Techniques.

Metabolic syndrome (Mets) in adolescents is a growing public health issue linked to obesity, hypertension, and insulin resistance, increasing risks of cardiovascular disease and mental health problems. Early detection and intervention are crucial but often hindered by complex diagnostic requirements. This study aims to develop a predictive model using NHANES data, excluding biochemical indicators, to provide a simple, cost-effective tool for large-scale, non-medical screening and early prevention of adolescent MetS.

Department of Surgery, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York; Division of Health Services Policy and Practice, Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, School of Public Health and Health Professions, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York.

Background: Earlier evidence indicated that metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) may adversely affect neonatal outcomes among patients conceiving soon after MBS, but recent studies demonstrated conflicting results, especially for new surgical techniques.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of MBS types and surgery to birth interval on maternal, birth, and nonbirth outcomes in women with severe obesity.

Setting: New York State's all-payer hospital discharge database (2008-2019).

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications (POC) in elderly patients (EP) compared to younger patients (YP) following immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after total mastectomy (TM).

Methods: This retrospective study included patients treated at the Institut Universitaire of Cancer of Toulouse-Oncopole (IUCT-O) between January 2014 and May 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of POC within 30 days postoperatively.
