Associations between zinc deficiency, taste changes and salivary flow rate following gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy surgeries (2024)
Journal Article
Mozaffar, B., Mozaffar, H., Alkharaiji, M., Elbahrawy, A., & Idris, I. (2024). Associations between zinc deficiency, taste changes and salivary flow rate following gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy surgeries. Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2024, Article 1197571. https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/1197571

Background. The prevalence of taste change (hypogeusia) and its association with zinc deficiency is unclear due to differences in methods of assessment. We investigate the prevalence of hypogeusia using mixed methods and link it with changes in zinc...

The Effects of Preoperative Glycaemic Control (HbA1c) on Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Outcomes: Data from a Tertiary-Referral Bariatric Centre in the UK (2024)
Journal Article
Wilmington, R., Abuawwad, M., Holt, G., Anderson, R., Aldafas, R., Awad, S., & Idris, I. (2024). The Effects of Preoperative Glycaemic Control (HbA1c) on Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Outcomes: Data from a Tertiary-Referral Bariatric Centre in the UK. Obesity Surgery, 34, 850-854. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11695-023-06964-x

Background: Current recommendations advocate the achievement of an optimal glucose control (HbA1c < 69mmol/mol) prior to elective surgery to reduce risks of peri- and post-operative complications, but the relevance for this glycaemic threshold prior...
