In a large multisite cohort of Veterans who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, we compared the 5-year suicidal ideation and attempt rates with matched nonsurgical controls. ⋯ Bariatric surgery appears to be associated with a greater risk of suicidal ideation and attempts than nonsurgical treatment of patients with severe obesity, suggesting that patients need careful monitoring for suicidal ideation and additional psychological support after bariatric surgery.

To report an innovative endoscopic surgery for subcutaneous vascular malformations and intramuscular fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) at our center. ⋯ Endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive, effective, and safe treatment for subcutaneous vascular malformations and intramuscular FAVA. This approach can set a new standard that minimizes wound complications and reduces recovery time in patients undergoing resection for benign soft-tissue lesions.

ReviewMachine Learning of Physiologic Waveforms and Electronic Health Record Data: A Large Perioperative Data Set of High-Fidelity Physiologic Waveforms.
Perioperative morbidity and mortality are significantly associated with both static and dynamic perioperative factors. The studies investigating static perioperative factors have been reported; however, there are a limited number of previous studies and data sets analyzing dynamic perioperative factors, including physiologic waveforms, despite its clinical importance. To fill the gap, the authors introduce a novel large size perioperative data set: Machine Learning Of physiologic waveforms and electronic health Record Data (MLORD) data set. They also provide a concise tutorial on machine learning to illustrate predictive models trained on complex and diverse structures in the MLORD data set.
