Do obese patients have inadequate protein intake related to protein intolerance up to 1 year following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass?
These results suggest that postoperative patients consume insufficient amounts of protein, possibly mediated by protein intolerance. Protein supplementation following RYGBP deserves further consideration.
Despite the complexity of this pathology, decalcification and patch-reconstruction of the mitral annulus during mitral valve surgery can be performed with low technical risk and acceptable long-term results.
