Metabolic syndrome (MetS) presents a global health challenge characterized by cardiometabolic risk factors like central obesity, elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and high fasting glucose levels. Despite lifestyle interventions and medications, the increasing prevalence of MetS calls for effective treatments. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has emerged as a promising intervention. This review examines the role of SG in improving MetS outcomes, drawing from a PubMed/Medline literature search. It highlights SG's multifaceted metabolic effects, including hormonal changes and improved insulin sensitivity, contributing to improved metabolic outcomes. Additionally, SG leads to significant weight loss and effectively addresses comorbidities like hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with low rates of early morbidity and mortality. However, long-term studies indicate that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) provides more sustained weight loss and superior resolution of metabolic comorbidities, whereas SG is associated with fewer early complications and a lower risk of nutritional deficiencies. In conclusion, SG offers a valuable option for managing MetS, providing significant weight loss and comorbidity improvement. Nevertheless, potential long-term complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and suboptimal weight response, emphasize careful patient selection and monitoring.

Objectives: Cancer-related cachexia affects approximately 50% to 80% of cancer patients and contributes significantly to cancer-related mortality, accounting for 20% of deaths. This multifactorial syndrome is characterized by systemic inflammation, anorexia, and elevated energy expenditure, leading to severe weight loss and muscle wasting. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for developing effective interventions.

As accessibility and legalization of cannabis rise throughout the United States (US), programs have sought guidance about whether its use should be considered a contraindication or, if not a contraindication, what recommendations patients should receive regarding appropriate use before and after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). In this review, medical, nutritional, pharmacological, and psychological considerations are presented by a multidisciplinary group of members of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). Research suggests several risks associated with long-term cannabis use in the general population, but research in the MBS population, specifically, is limited.

Introduction: Patients with obesity seeking bariatric surgery undergo an extensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals' (HCPs) to assess patient compliance among other factors and determine their eligibility for surgery. However, the HCPs' assessments are not devoid of bias that may affect eligibility and preoperative decisions. This study aimed to investigate team members' ability to predict patient outcomes following bariatric surgery.

This study investigated the effects of chitosan/gelatin (CG) coatings containing pomegranate peel extract (PPE) on the physical-chemical, microbiological, volatile profile, and sensory characteristics of strawberries over 12 days of refrigerated storage. The coatings containing PPE minimized the weight loss of the fruits by 11 % and delayed their fungal contamination by 6-8 days. Uncoated fruits showed soluble solids content, pH, and titratable acidity values characteristics of highly deteriorated fruits.

Our internal sensory systems encode various gut-related sensations, such as hunger, feelings of fullness, and nausea. These internal feelings influence our eating behaviors and play a vital role in regulating energy balance. Among them, the neurological basis for nausea has been the least well characterized, which has hindered comprehension of the connection between these sensations.
