Associations Between Weight Loss Prior to Knee and Hip Arthroplasty and Peri‐ and Post‐Operative Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In some of the existing literature, obesity is associated with increased complications in those who undergo lower limb arthroplasty. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to assess if pre‐arthroplasty weight loss mitigates increased post‐operative risks. Methods This systematic review and meta‐analysis was registered on

Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: the Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

Haemodynamic‐energetic mechanism of sudden cardiac death in severe aortic stenosis: A modelling study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A sudden decrease in total peripheral resistance (TPR), as observed during vasovagal syncope, leads to a reduction in aortic systolic pressure (AO pressure) and afterload. In healthy individuals, the consequent decrease in left ventricular systolic pressure (LV pressure) lowers stroke work and myocardial energy expenditure.
