Bariatric Surgery Improves Serum CD40L Levels as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Risk: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
AbstractCD40 and its ligand have been recently implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This meta-analysis examined the effect of bariatric surgery in reducing circulating CD40L levels. A systematic review was performed using Embase, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The meta-analysis was provided by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) V4 software. The overall effect size was detected by a random-effects meta-analysis and the leave-one-out approach. Random-effects meta-analysis of 7 studies including 191 subjects showed a significant reduction in CD40L after bariatric surgery (standar...

Medium and Long-Term Weight Loss After Revisional Bariatric Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
AbstractDespite the current increase in revisional bariatric surgery (RBS), data on the sustainability of weight loss remain unclear. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess weight loss outcomes in adult patients undergoing RBS with follow-up > 2 years. Twenty-eight observational studies (n = 2213 patients) were included. The %TWL was 27.2 (95%CI = 23.7 to 30.6), and there was a drop in BMI of 10.2 kg/m2 (95%CI = − 11.6 to − 8.7). The %EWL was 54.8 (95%CI = 47.2 to 62.4) but with a high risk of publication bias (Egger’s test = 0.003). The overall quality...

Routine Upper Gastrointestinal Series Post-bariatric Surgery: Predictors, Usage, and Utility
ConclusionRoutine UGI series may be of limited value for the detection of anastomotic leaks after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and patients should undergo routine imaging based on clinical parameters. Gastric bypass procedure and female gender were factors increasing the likelihood of routine post-operative UGI. Further larger scale analysis of this important topic is warranted.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

A Dutch Survey on Medication Adjustments after Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: Experiences of Bariatric Surgeons, Internists, Pharmacists, and General Practitioners
ConclusionsThe majority of prescribers and pharmacists believe that patients will receive better pharmacotherapy if healthcare professionals take MBS into account. However, not all prescribers think they are competent to act adequately. To improve this, information on changed drug effects after MBS should be more widely shared among healthcare professionals via resources that are easily accessible.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)
