Background: Patients with obesity have a higher risk of complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We investigated the change in weight 1 and 2 years post-Bariatric Surgery (BS) in patients that had undergone both TKA and BS as well as the risk of revision after TKA based on if BS was performed before or after the TKA.
Methods: Patients who had undergone BS within 2 years before or after TKA were identified from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Register (SOReg) and the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) between 2007 and 2019 and 2009 and 2020, respectively. The cohort was divided into two groups; patients who underwent TKA before BS (TKA-BS) and patients who underwent BS before TKA (BS-TKA). Multilinear regression analysis and a Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze weight change after BS and the risk of revision after TKA.
Results: Of the 584 patients included in the study, 119 patients underwent TKA before BS and 465 underwent BS before TKA. No association was detected between the sequence of surgery and total weight loss 1 and 2 years post-BS, - 0.1 (95% confidence interval (CI), - 1.7 to 1.5) and - 1.2 (95% CI, - 5.2 to 2.9), or the risk of revision after TKA [hazard ratio 1.54 (95% CI 0.5-4.5)].
Conclusion: The sequence of surgery in patients undergoing both BS and TKA does not appear to be associated with weight loss after BS or the risk of revision after TKA.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by the presence of at least one cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor, underscoring its potential to elevate CVD risk in affected individuals. However, evidence linking MASLD to subclinical coronary atherosclerosis remains scarce, and further investigations are necessary to elucidate the independent role of varying MASLD severities as a CVD risk factor.
Methods: This study analyzed 7,507 participants aged ≥ 40 who underwent comprehensive health evaluations at the Shanghai Health and Medical Center.

Background: There are no studies that compare the outcomes and complications of single-versus two-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) after primary ACLR failure. This purpose of this study is to examine clinical and functional outcomes and complications associated with single and two-stage revision ACLR after primary ACLR failure.
Methods: All patients who underwent single or two-stage revision ACLR after primary ACLR failure between 2012 and 2021 with a minimum of a 2 year follow-up were included.

Background: Workplace health promotion is essential for individual and organisational well-being and disease prevention, also in industrial workers. As the transfer of the evidence on the effectiveness of such programs into practice is limited due to scattered effects, the need for a consolidation of the available studies is given. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesise the evidence on the effectiveness of workplace health promotion programs for industrial workers.

Background: Numerous noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers have been reported and validated as effective predictors of hematoma expansion (HE). Our objective was to develop and validate a score based on NCCT markers and clinical characteristics to predict risk of HE in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients.
Methods: We prospectively collected spontaneous ICH patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University to form the development cohort (n = 395) and at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University to establish the validation cohort (n = 139).

Aim: To quantify and categorise retrospectively all adverse events occurring during unplanned neonatal emergency interhospital transfers conducted by the Transfer Service of the Spedali Civili di Brescia over 3 years.
Methods: The revised data were extracted from specific questionnaires filled out by staff. The events were classified according to an adapted retrieval team model (PANSTAR); the risk level was assessed using an effective risk assessment score.
