[Q]: n-3 Fatty acids lower plasma triacylglycerols not only in the fasting state but also in the postprandial state. However, it is not known whether chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, and VLDLs are all affected equally or whether some lipoprotein species are lowered preferentially.', 'Lipoproteins, including large and small chylomicron remnants, were determined specifically with the aid of a newly developed method involving a combination of size-exclusion chromatography and fluorometric determination of retinyl palmitate, which served as a marker for exogenous fat.', 'Twelve hypertriacylglycerolemic men were treated for 6 wk with 4 capsules containing 85% fish-oil concentrate/d; each capsule contained 850 mg n-3 fatty acid ethyl esters (49.1% eicosapentaenoic acid by wt and 32.2% docosahexaenoic acid by wt). Oral-fat-tolerance tests were performed before and after the treatment. Blood samples were drawn in the fasting state and until 8 h postprandially.', 'Treatment with n-3 fatty acids reduced the fasting VLDL-triacylglycerol concentration by 44% (P < 0.05) and postprandial chylomicrons and VLDLs at 4, 6, and 8 h (P < 0.05) by 49-64% and 36-43%, respectively. Chylomicron remnants were reduced only in the late postprandial phase: large chylomicron remnants by 19% at 6 h and by 43% at 8 h (P < 0.05) and small chylomicron remnants by 31% at 8 h (P < 0.05).
[A]: Are postprandial chylomicrons and VLDLs in severe hypertriacylglycerolemia lowered more effectively than are chylomicron remnants after treatment with n-3 fatty acids?


[Q]: We designed an assessment and education program which was delivered to patients prior to first outpatient appointment for bariatric surgery. We hypothesised that this program would streamline care and would lead to improved weight loss following bariatric surgery.', 'The program incorporates a structured general practitioners (GP) review, a patient information evening and an on-line learning package. It was introduced in September 2012. Patient flow through the program was recorded. Outcomes of the new program were compared with contemporaneously treated patients who did not undertake the pre-hospital program.', 'All 636 patients on the waiting list for first appointment at the Alfred Health bariatric surgery clinic were invited to participate. There were 400 patients ultimately removed from the waiting list for first appointment. Of the remaining 236 patients, 229 consented to participate in the new program. The mean BMI was 47.8\u2009±\u20099.2. The fail to attend first appointment rate dropped from 12 to 2.1\xa0%. At 12\xa0months post-bariatric surgery, patients who undertook the new program (n\u2009=\u200982) had a mean excess weight loss (EWL) of 41.1\u2009±\u200920.3\xa0% where as those treated on the standard pathway (n\u2009=\u200961) had a mean EWL 32\u2009±\u200918.0\xa0% (p\u2009=\u20090.012).

[Q]: Septic hip revisions are associated with greater complications and higher costs than aseptic revisions. It is unclear whether blood loss and transfusion requirements are different in septic and aseptic revisions. We hypothesized that the blood loss and transfusion are dependent on the complexity of the revision surgery and patient's general health rather than the presence of infection.", 'We retrospectively reviewed 626 revision total hip arthroplasties in 547 patients between 2009 and 2013. All the procedures were classified as septic (n\xa0= 120) or aseptic (n\xa0= 506) based on the Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria for periprosthetic joint infection. Independent risk factors for transfusion and blood loss were analyzed using a multiple regression analysis.', 'The transfusion rate was higher in septic revisions (septic\xa0= 108/120 [90%], aseptic\xa0= 370/506 [73%]; P < .001), so was the average amount of blood loss (septic\xa0= 2533 ± 161 mL, aseptic\xa0= 1974 ± 68 mL; P < .001). After adjusting for potential confounders, infection was not an independent risk factor for transfusion (P = .176) or blood loss (P = .437). Increasing age (P = .004), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists score (P = .047), lower preoperative hemoglobin (P < .001), cell saver use (P < .001), and complex revision surgery (P < .001) were independently associated with greater risk of transfusion.
