Guidelines on vitamin D replacement in bariatric surgery: Identification and systematic appraisal
TL;DR: Current CPGs recommendations on vitamin D supplementation in bariatric surgery differ between societies and do not fulfill criteria for optimal guideline development, in part possibly due to limited resources, and are based on expert opinion.

Abstract: Introduction Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapeutic option to reduce weight in morbidly obese individuals, but it results in a number of mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) attempt to balance those benefits and harms to provide guidance to physicians and patients. Objectives We compare and evaluate the quality of the evidence and of the development process of current CPGs that provide recommendations on vitamin D replacement in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, using a validated tool. Methods We searched 4 databases, with no time restriction, to identify relevant and current CPGs. Two reviewers assessed eligibility and abstracted data, in duplicate. They evaluated the quality of CPGs development process using the Appraisal of Guidelines, Research, and Evaluation II (AGREE II) tool that consists of 6 domains. A content expert verified those assessments. Results We identified 3 eligible CPGs: (1) the Endocrine Society (ES) guidelines (2010); (2) the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), The Obesity Society (TOS), and the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) guidelines (update 2013); and (3) the Interdisciplinary European (IE) guidelines on Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (latest update 2014). The ES and the AACE/TOS/ASMBS guidelines recommended high doses of vitamin D, varying from 3000 IU daily to 50,000 IU 1–3 times weekly. Vitamin D doses were not mentioned in the IE guidelines. The recommendations were based on a low quality of evidence, if any, or limited to a single high quality trial, for some outcomes. In terms of quality, only the IE guidelines described their search methodology but none of the CPGs provided details on evidence selection and appraisal. None of the three CPGs rigorously assessed the preferences of the target population, resource implications, and the applicability of these guidelines. According to the AGREE II tool, we rated the ES guidelines as average in quality, and the other two as low in quality. Conclusion Current CPGs recommendations on vitamin D supplementation in bariatric surgery differ between societies. They do not fulfill criteria for optimal guideline development, in part possibly due to limited resources, and are based on expert opinion. Thus, the pressing need for high quality randomized trials to inform CPGs, to be developed based on recommended standards.

TL;DR: Clinical commissioning groups need to ensure that a shared care model is implemented as patient safety and long‐term follow‐up are important.

TL;DR: The most common procedures being sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass are described as purely restrictive, malabsorptive, or combined restrictive-malabsorptive procedures limiting food intake, nutrient absorption, or both.

Vitamin D and intestinal calcium transport after bariatric surgery.
TL;DR: In humans, even with optimized 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and recommended calcium intake, fractional calcium absorption decreased dramatically after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and in rats, intestinal calcium absorption was lower after RYGB than after sham surgery, despite elevated 1,25-dihyroxyv vitamin D levels.

TL;DR: The goal of therapy of vitamin D‐deficiency osteomalacia is to alleviate symptoms, promote fracture healing, restore bone strength, and improve quality of life while correcting biochemical abnormalities.
Analysis of vitamin levels and deficiencies in bariatric surgery patients: a single-institutional analysis
TL;DR: The highest prevalence of vitamin B1 and A deficiencies were seen in the first year postoperatively and Vitamin D deficiency improved after surgery, but elevated parathyroid hormone was common after RYGB.

TL;DR: Most non-branded multivitamins are lower cost alternatives to branded multIVitamins, with similar compositions, and the AACE recommendation for two-tablet doses of multivitamin supplementation is not being met by most English centres.

TL;DR: CPGs containing recommendations for antidepressant use during pregnancy were of moderate to high quality, and future guidelines should take into account the observed drawbacks in some domains, and specifically focus a more in depth approach of depression during pregnancy.

Combined endothelial and epithelial barrier disruption of the colon may be a contributing factor to the Ebola sepsis-like syndrome.
TL;DR: If colonic barrier disruption or vascular exposure of bacterial antigens from the colon is found to comprise an important mechanism of the Ebola sepsis-like syndrome, protocolized timed decontamination of the bowel with or without timed prophylactic antibiotics might warrant investigation.
