Purpose: The effect of hyperinsulinemia on short-term outcomes after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with obesity combined with insulin resistance is unclear.
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent LSG at our center between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. Patients were divided into hyperinsulinemia (HINS) and nonhyperinsulinemia (NHINS) groups based on fasting insulin levels. The primary endpoint was weight change. Metabolic disease outcomes, postoperative complications, and quality of life score changes were secondary endpoints.
Results: A total of 92 patients were included in this study, with 59 in the HINS group and 33 in the NHINS group. At 6 months postoperatively, the median (P, P) %EWL was 76.01 (64.40, 86.99)% in the HINS group and 92.02 (86.78, 100.88)% in the NHINS group (P<0.001). The mean %TWL (SD) was 23.26 (7.14)% in the HINS group and 26.80 (6.55)% in the NHINS group (P=0.021). The remission of dyslipidemia and hypertension in the NHINS group and the HINS group were not significantly different (P>0.05 for all). The differences in QOL between groups were not statistically significant (P=0.788). In terms of postoperative complications, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (P>0.05 for all).
Conclusion: HINS negatively influences weight change in patients with obesity and insulin resistance, and the NHINS group had better postoperative weight loss. In terms of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and postoperative complications, there was no significant effect of HINS.

Objective: Smartphones and wearable devices can be effective tools to objectively assess patient mobility and well-being before and after spine surgery. In this retrospective observational study, the authors investigated the relationship between these longitudinal perioperative patient activity data and socioeconomic and demographic correlates, assessing whether smartphone-captured metrics may allow neurosurgeons to distinguish intergroup patterns.
Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective study of patients who underwent spinal decompression with and without fusion between 2017 and 2021 was conducted.

Background: Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and associated with reduced life expectancy metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is the treatment indicated when patients are unable to lose weight through lifestyle changes and medication alone. However, more evidence is necessary to show non-inferiority of e-health compared to in-person monitoring with regard to important parameters for the success of surgical treatment of obesity such as anthropometric changes.
Methods And Analyses: This review study will include cohort studies involving individuals with obesity and e-health or in-person patient monitoring before and after MBS.

The mycobiome plays a key role in the host immune responses in homeostasis and inflammation. Recent studies suggest that an imbalance in the gut's fungi contributes to chronic, noninfectious diseases such as obesity, metabolic disorders, and cancers. Pathogenic fungi can colonize specific organs, and the gut mycobiome has been linked to the development and progression of various cancers, including colorectal, breast, head and neck, and pancreatic cancers.

To understand differences in anti-factor-Xa levels produced by two different dosing strategies (conventional and individualized) for therapeutic enoxaparin in a cohort of hospital inpatients. A multicenter, retrospective cohort study over a two- and a half-year period for inpatients with stable renal function and on therapeutic enoxaparin. Anti-factor-Xa levels were taken 3-5 h after enoxaparin administration and a minimum of 48 h of dosing.

Objectives: To compare postoperative complication rates of patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) with patients without MetS after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients aged >40 years who underwent HoLEP at our institution from 2007 to 2022. Criteria for MetS were diagnoses of at least three of the following: diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, or obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m).
