Impact of prior bariatric surgery on outcomes of hospitalized patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a propensity score-matched analysis of the U.S. nationwide inpatient sample
CONCLUSIONS: Prior bariatric surgery is associated with favorable in-hospital outcomes in hospitalized patients with SLE and decreased likelihood for several SLE-related complications.PMID:37735043 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.06.006

Stroke-related risk factors during pregnancy in women who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery compared with women who have not undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: MBS helps women lose weight and decrease the incidence of some pregnancy-related risk factors for stroke. However, there is a notable racial health disparity.PMID:37150625 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.03.017

Association of Bariatric Surgery With Cardiovascular Outcomes in Adults With Severe Obesity and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results of this study suggest that, compared with nonsurgical care, bariatric surgery was associated with significant reduction in CVD risk in individuals with severe obesity and NAFLD.PMID:36205997 | DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.35003

Pre-operative evaluation in obstructive sleep apnea patients undergoing bariatric surgery: sleep laboratory limitations
Worldwide, venous thromboembolism (VTE) is among the leading causes of death from cardiovascular disease, surpassed only by acute myocardial infarction and stroke. The spectrum of VTE presentations ranges, by degree of severity, from deep vein thrombosis to acute pulmonary thromboembolism. Treatment is based on full anticoagulation of the patients. For many decades, it has been known that anticoagulation directly affects the mortality associated with VTE. Until the beginning of this century, anticoagulant therapy was based on the use of unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin and vitamin K antagonists, warfarin in p...

Contraception et obésité
Publication date: Available online 31 October 2015 Source:Gynécologie Obstétrique & Fertilité Author(s): M. Lobert, M. Pigeyre, H. Gronier, S. Catteau-Jonard, G. Robin La prévalence de l’obésité augmente massivement depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années dans les pays industrialisés. Les femmes obèses ont une activité sexuelle, non différente des femmes de poids normal, et bénéficieraient d’une couverture contraceptive moindre et d’un risque de grossesse non désirée plus élevé. En outre, l’obésité constitue un facteur de risque important d’accident thromboembolique veineux et arté...

Contraception and obesity.
Abstract The prevalence of obesity is increasing massively over several decades in industrialized countries. Obese women are sexually active but they use fewer contraceptive methods and are at high risk of unintended pregnancy. In addition, obesity is an important risk factor for venous thromboembolism events and arterial thrombosis (myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke). All of these data are to be considered in choosing a contraceptive method for obese women. Except depot medroxyprogesterone acetate injection, the progestin-only contraceptives (progestin only pills and etonogestrel subdermal implant) and th...

Abstract 203: Outcomes Comparison of Low Risk Medical and Surgical Patients Treated with Unfractionated Heparin vs. Enoxaparin Poster Session II
Conclusions: In low-risk medical and general surgical patients, UFH was as effective as enoxaparin in the prevention of thromboembolic events, with no difference in the incidence of HIT. When compared to UFH, enoxaparin was associated with lower MI and mortality rates, and shorter LOS and ICU LOS, at the expense of higher rates of stroke and TIA. Enoxaparin was associated with lower total inpatient costs than UFH.
