Pulsatile Luteinizing Hormone Amplitude and Progesterone Metabolite Excretion Are Reduced in Obese Women
Akas Jain,Alex J. Polotsky,Dana Rochester,Sarah L. Berga,Tammy L. Loucks,Gohar Zeitlian,Karen E. Gibbs,Hanah N. Polotsky,Sophia Feng,Barbara Isaac,Nanette Santoro +10 more
TL;DR: A novel defect in the amplitude but not the frequency of LH pulsations appears to underlie the reproductive phenotype of obesity, and the deficit in pregnanediol glucuronide appears to exceed the deficits in LH.

Perioperative risk factors for 30-day mortality after bariatric surgery: is functional status important?
TL;DR: It is found that baseline functional status before surgery is the single most powerful predictor of perioperative survival and should be incorporated into risk stratification models.

Partial recovery of luteal function after bariatric surgery in obese women
Dana Rochester,Akas Jain,Alex J. Polotsky,Hanah N. Polotsky,Karen E. Gibbs,Barbara Isaac,Gohar Zeitlian,Cheryl Hickmon,Sophia Feng,Nanette Santoro +9 more
TL;DR: Women of very high BMI have deficient luteal LH and PDg excretion and a delayed ovulatory Pdg rise compared with normal-weight women, and although these parameters improved with weight loss, PdG did not approach levels seen in normal- Weight women.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y pancreatic cyst-jejunostomy.
TL;DR: Laroscopic cyst-jejunostomy offers a feasible alternative in the minimally invasive management of pancreatic pseudocyst, and compares favorably with both open and laparoscopic internal drainage procedures.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the published literature from 1995-2018 on management of gallbladder disease in patients undergoing bariatric surgery found that in symptomatic patients who are undergoing bariatrics surgery, concomitant cholecystectomy is acceptable and safe.
