Hypovitaminosis D and hyperparathyroidism: a five-year postoperative follow-up of 30,458 gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy patients
Bariatric procedures are associated with nutrient deficiencies. Studies show an association between gastric bypass (RYGB) and hypovitaminosis D as well as hyperparathyroidism, yet few compare RYGB to sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and large long-term analyses are scarce.

Surgical Treatment of Persistent Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacteraemia After n-Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for Gastric Bleeding Varices
We report the case of a 34-year-old man with history of cirrhosis due to Wilson ’s disease and severe portal hypertension who was hospitalized as a result of upper gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to fundic varices that were treated with NCBA. Eight weeks after the bleeding episode he was readmitted with a 14-day history of fever and chills.Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from blood cultures. He presented with persistentP.  aeruginosa bacteraemia despite correct antibiotic treatment. A PET-CT scan was performed to rule out infection source, and inflammatory changes at the NCBA site plug were found. A presumptive ...
