Effects of Exercise Mode on Improving Cardiovascular Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Bariatric Surgery: A Narrative Review
Obesity affects 600 million people globally and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Bariatric surgery is an increasingly popular therapeutic intervention for morbid obesity to induce rapid weight loss and reduce obesity-related comorbidities. However, some bariatric surgery patients, after what is considered a successful surgical procedure, continue to manifest obesity-related health issues, including weight gain, reduced physical function, persistent elevations in blood pressure, and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness. Cardiorespiratory fitness is a strong predictor of mor...

Longitudinal Gastrectomy for Nonbariatric Indications
CONCLUSION: LLG seems to be an appropriate intervention for various gastric pathologies. Training of residents and fellows in the minimally invasive surgical steps of LLG is encouraged.PMID:34035960 | PMC:PMC8124009 | DOI:10.1155/2021/9962130

Prehabilitation Coming of Age: IMPLICATIONS FOR CARDIAC AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION
While cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs traditionally involve exercise therapy and risk management following an event (eg, myocardial infarction and stroke), or an intervention (eg, coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention), prehabilitation involves enhancing functional capacity and optimizing risk profile prior to a scheduled intervention. The concept of prehabilitation is based on the principle that patients with higher functional capabilities will better tolerate an intervention, and will have better pre- and post-surgical outcomes. In addition to improving fitness, prehabilitati...

Saint Luke's will build new rehab hospital in KC
Saint Luke's Health System announced Tuesday it plans to build a freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Kansas City. The hospital has not selected a location, but said it plans to open a more than 60,000-square-foot hospital with 60 beds. The rehabilitation hospital will include a dedicated stroke unit, brain injury unit, specially equipped rooms for bariatric patients, pet therapy and an outdoor healing garden. It will also including a training apartment where patients and their families…
