Loss-of-control (LOC) eating is associated with poor weight-loss outcomes following bariatric surgery. It is not clear whether eating patterns (e.g., total number of daily meals/snacks, eating after suppertime, eating when not hungry) and unhealthy weight control behaviors (e.g., smoking, using laxatives) are associated with or predictive of LOC eating.

To examine whether eating patterns and unhealthy weight-control behaviors are associated with LOC eating and, if so, whether they predict LOC eating in bariatric patients.

Multicenter study, United States.

This is a secondary analysis of the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 study. Assessments were conducted before surgery and at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 84 months after surgery. Logistic mixed models were used to examine the longitudinal associations between eating patterns, unhealthy weight-control behaviors, and LOC eating. Time-lag techniques were applied to examine whether the associated patterns and behaviors predict LOC eating.

The participants (n = 1477) were mostly women (80%), white (86.9%), and married (62.5%). At the time of surgery, the mean age was 45.4 ± 11.0 years and the mean body mass index was 47.8 ± 7.5 kg/m

. The total number of daily meals/snacks, food intake after suppertime, eating when not hungry, eating when feeling full, and use of any unhealthy weight-control behaviors were positively associated with LOC eating (P < .05). Food intake after suppertime, eating when not hungry, and eating when feeling full predicted LOC eating (P < .05).

Meal patterns and unhealthy weight control behaviors may be important intervention targets for addressing LOC eating after bariatric surgery.

Laparoscopic 1- (single-) anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) was developed as a simplified technique of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), but super long-term data are lacking.

To evaluate the risks and long-term results of OAGB over a period of 20 years.

Tertiary teaching hospital.

A total of 2223 patients underwent OAGB from 2001 to 2020; the mean age was 35.3 ± 11.4 years (range, 14-71 yr), 70.2% were female, and the mean body mass index was 40.2 ± 11.9 kg/m

. All data were kept in a prospective bariatric database. Patients were divided into 4 groups, based on the 5-year period in which their surgery was performed, and a retrospective analysis was conducted.

The means for operating time, intraoperative blood loss, and length of hospital stay after OAGB were 131.9 ± 40.1 minutes, 38.5 ± 30.7 mL, and 4.5 ± 4.0 days, respectively. There were 27 patients (1.2%) with 30-day postoperative major complications overall, but the group rate decreased to .4% in the last 5-year period. At postoperative years 5, malnutrition is a major side effect.

Our results showed that OAGB is a safe and durable primary bariatric procedure, with sustained weight loss and a high resolution of T2D up to 20 years post surgery in Taiwan, although malnutrition is a major side effect.

The composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota is associated with obesity. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota influences the outcomes of bariatric surgery.

We aimed to analyze using oral swabs and stool samples the microbiota of patients with morbid obesity who were undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

A university hospital in Poland.

This prospective cohort study was conducted between November 2018 and June 2019. RP-102124 Participants underwent SG or no surgery (controls). Results were then analyzed as a group 1 (surgical participants who achieved a percentage of excess weight loss [%EWL] >50%), group 2 (surgical participants who achieved a %EWL <50%), and group 3 (nonsurgical controls). %EWL was measured 6 months following surgery. Before surgery, oral swabs were obtained and stool samples were provided. The endpoint was the composition of the gut microbiota.

Group 1 comprised 19 participants, group 2 comprised 11 participants, and group 3 comprised 16 participants. No participants were lost to follow-up during the study. Participants in group 1 had an oral microbiota that was enriched in the phyla Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. Their intestinal microbiota was enriched in the Proteobacteria. In contrast, the oral microbiota of group 2 was enriched in the Actinobacteria and the intestinal microbiota was enriched in the phyla Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes.

The compositions of the microbiota of the oral cavity and large intestine are related tothe weight loss achieved following SG.

The present paper explores the introduction of computer-based nursing documentation in a hospital as an example of organizational learning viewed through the lens of organizational education. It provides insights into existing routines and patterns of nursing practice within the organization and seeks, in understanding them, to support organizational learning in hospital settings. The focus of this article is on the analysis of patterns of practice specific to the organization in order to derive the specific need for support of organizational learning for the hospital as an organization.

A mixed-methods approach was used to record data, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. Its theoretical focus draws on organizational education in examining organizational learning – a context in which the use of mixed-methods approaches, triangulation and multiperspectivity appeared to be best suited for the task.

The results demonstrate that the practical implementation of computer-based nursing documenta, yet few examples aimed at creating an understanding of existing practices, particularly in relation to hospital settings. This paper fills this lacuna by describing extant practices in such a setting and seeks to support organizational learning processes in this context.
