Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective long-term solutions for treating obesity due to its sustained weight loss and reduction of obesity-related comorbidities. However, nutritional deficiencies are common due to the alteration of the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal tract. These include the malabsorption of macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and drugs. In this report, we present the case of a female patient who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and subsequently developed exclusive potassium malabsorption refractory to oral replenishment.

Prediction of ischemic stroke in patients with H-type hypertension based on biomarker.
Sci Rep

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Anzhen Road No. 2, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100029, China.
Hypertension combined with hyperhomocysteinemia significantly raises the risk of ischemic stroke. Our study aimed to develop and validate a biomarker-based prediction model for ischemic stroke in Hyperhomocysteinemia-type (H-type) hypertension patients. We retrospectively included 3,305 patients in the development cohort, and externally validated in 103 patients from another cohort.

Introduction: Diazoxide is the first-line treatment for children with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HI). In these cases, diazoxide raises blood glucose levels by suppressing insulin release, preventing hypoglycemia, and potentially devastating end-organ sequelae. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is an exceedingly rare side effect of diazoxide.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are frequently used medications to treat a wide variety of gastrointestinal conditions. By irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump, they remarkably reduce gastric acid secretion. However, chronic PPI intake can result in serious complications, including severe hypomagnesemia.

Article Synopsis
- Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stones, is commonly seen in patients with Crohn's disease, prompting a study to explore its characteristics and risk factors.
- A total of 27 Crohn's patients and 27 healthy individuals were compared, revealing that Crohn's patients had significantly lower urinary levels of calcium, magnesium, and other substances, along with higher intestinal oxalate absorption linked to urinary stone formation.
- The study found that extensive ileal resections contribute to this increased oxalate absorption, suggesting that treatments like calcium and magnesium supplementation, as well as alkali citrate therapy, could help manage stone formation in these patients.
