Quadriceps muscle weakness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis?
This study detected no association between quadriceps weakness after ACL reconstruction and knee OA as measured 10-15 years later.
RYGB results in a rapid improvement in insulin resistance and a clinically significant decrease in fasting glucose and insulin levels. This improvement is significant at the 3rd post-operative day, and by the 5th day, patients express insulin resistance levels that are similar to those expressed at 6 months after surgery. This work highlights the acute metabolic impact of surgery. Understanding the behavior of insulin and glucose after surgery might improve our knowledge of the pathophysiology of diabetes and lead to novel therapies and tailored surgical approaches.
