Abstract

One of the current criteria for bariatric surgery is to be of an age between 18 and 65 years. In all the available literature, there is a lack of studies focusing on the results of bariatric surgery in younger patient. This could be of great interest because the weight loss response can be altered by differences in metabolism or compliance rate. In recent years, a high amount of patients between 18 and 25 years of age have undergone bariatric surgery in our center, and it is our aim to evaluate the weight loss results in this youngest patient group. All preoperative and perioperative data from patients aged 18-25 and 35-55 years (control group) were collected retrospectively. Bariatric procedures took place between 2011 and 2014. Follow-up data were gathered prospectively by collecting (laboratory) measurements and questionnaires. In total, 103 young adults (mean age 22.5) were matched to 103 adult control patients (mean age 42.6) on BMI and date of surgery. Of the young adults' group, 75 patients underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) compared with 80 patients in the control group. Three years after RYGB, mean %total body weight loss (%TBWL) was 34 (± 9) and 30.3 (± 9) (p = 0.03), respectively. Bariatric surgery is effect...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
