Bariatric surgery leads to shifts in gut microbial composition function, while genome-wide association studies reveal underpinnings of polygenic obesity, informing risk, therapeutic outcomes, nutrigenomics-based interventions. Objectives This pilot study aimed identify associated with weight loss 12 months after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Setting Single academic institution university clinic Methods...
Depression and anxiety are prevalent among bariatric surgery candidates, yet little is known about the course of symptoms after surgery.

The diagnosis of a hiatal hernia (HH) can be made by barium oesophagram or upper endoscopy. Data regarding the ability high-resolution manometry (HRM) with oesophageal pressure topography (OPT) to identify HH remains limited. We aim assess diagnostic accuracy automated localisation on compared physician visual interpretation detection HH.Patients (n=181) from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, undergoing HRM OPT 1 January 2015 December 2017 were reviewed.
