Marrow Fat May Affect Bone Mass After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Negative independent association seen for marrow fat and bone mineral density changes
History of C-Section Ups Risk of Complications in Hysterectomy
Women with previous C-section have increased odds of reoperation, peri-, post-op complications
Myocardial Injury Depends on Valve Type in Transfemoral TAVR
But extent of cardiac biomarker elevation does not predict mortality after transfemoral TAVR
Wound Complication Rate for C-Section Varies With Suture Type
Reduced complications with poliglecaprone 25 versus polyglactin 910 for women undergoing C-section
Factors Unrelated to Allograft Quality Tied to Organ Turndown
Holiday or weekend procurement, shorter donor stature, location of procurement tied to later acceptance
Mortality Down Only for Gastric Bypass Patients With Diabetes
RYGB patients without diabetes did not have significantly improved mortality compared to controls
Guidance Provided for Preventing Practice Billing Errors
Practices should have a compliance plan and policy and someone responsible for enforcing it
More Than Two-Thirds of Post-Op Patients Have Unused Opioids
Further, patients report low rates of proper disposal of unused opioids
Reconstruction Method in Gastric CA Surgery Affects Bone Density
Billroth-I reconstruction better than Roux-en-Y for preventing bone mineral density loss
