    Abstract With already wide disparities in physical health and life expectancy, COVID-19 presents people with mental illness with additional threats to their health: decreased access to health services, increased social isolation, and increased socio-economic disadvantage. Each of these factors has exacerbated the risk of poor health and early death for people with mental illness post-COVID-19. Unless effective primary care and preventative health responses are implemented, the physical illness epidemic for this group will increase post the COVID-19 pandemic. This perspective paper briefly reviews the literature on the impact of COVID-19 on service access, social isolation, and social disadvantage and their combined impact on physical health, particularly cancer, respiratory diseases, heart disease, smoking, and infectious diseases. The much-overlooked role of poor physical health on suicidality is also discussed. The potential impact of public health interventions is modelled based on Australian incidence data and current research on the percentage of early deaths of people living with mental illnesses that are preventable. Building on the lessons arising from services' response to COVID-19, such as the importance of ensuring access to preventive, screening, and primary care services, priority recommendations for consideration by public health practitioners and policymakers are presented.

    Abstract The uncertain, ever-changing and an ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic means that it may take some time before we can fully appreciate the negative effect of the pandemic and lockdown on our sleep and mental health. It is increasingly recognised that in the aftermath of pandemic, several persistent sleep, neuropsychiatric and physical sequelae may continue long after the pandemic is over. A body of evidence to date also highlights a significant disparity in sleep and mental health difficulties in specific vulnerable groups in the community, with different temporal profiles and sleep issues that are reported. In this perspective, we argue for a possible mechanistic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its imposed restrictions and social isolation on sleep quality. We similarly discuss some of the potential international differences, as well as similarities, behind reported idiosyncratic biological vulnerabilities that may have contributed to the genesis of sleep issues. Lastly, we propose some possible implementations and innovations that may be needed in restructuring of sleep disorders services in order to benefit recovering COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Background: Despite excellent reported outcomes after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a percentage of patients go on to have a secondary bariatric surgery to manage side-effects or address weight regain after LSG. Reported weight loss outcomes for patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) after previous LSG are variable. We sought to determine the weight-loss outcomes of patients undergoing LRYGB after LSG in the largest bariatric surgical network in Canada and to determine whether outcomes differ according to indications for conversion.
    Methods: The Bariatric Registry is a multi-center database with prospectively collected standardized data on patients undergoing bariatric surgery at ten Bariatric Centers of Excellence within the Ontario Bariatric Network in Ontario, Canada. A retrospective analysis was performed of patients who underwent LRYGB after previous LSG between 2012 and 2019. Weight loss outcomes were compared between patients who underwent LRYGB for insufficient weight loss/weight regain and those who underwent conversion to LRYGB for other reasons.
    Results: Excluding patients with multiple revisions and those without follow-up data, 48 patients were included in the analysis: 33 patients (69%) underwent conversion to LRGYB for insufficient weight loss/weight regain (Group 1) and 15 patients (31%) underwent conversion for other reasons (Group 2). Mean body mass index (BMI) measured pre-LSG, pre-LRYGB, and at mid-term follow-up after LRYGB was 61, 48, and 43 kg/m
    Conclusions: Conversion to LRYGB after previous LSG resulted in an additional loss of 4 kg/m

    Abstract Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is highly prevalent in the bariatric population but not all patients develop liver fibrosis. Considering that fibrosis may affect clinical outcomes, it is important to assess and treat contributing factors. In this population, it is not clear whether dietary intake is a contributor. The objective was to determine the relationship between dietary intake components and liver fibrosis before and 1 y after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
    Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional (n = 133) study conducted between 2013 and 2022. In addition, a subgroup of 44 patients were followed for 1 y post-RYGB. Anthropometrics, biochemical measurements, and 3-d food records and liver biopsies were obtained presurgery and, in a subgroup of patients, as for the cohort, 1 y post-RYGB.
    Results: In the cross-sectional study, 78.2% were female, with a median age of 48 y and body mass index of 46.8 kg/m
    Conclusions: In bariatric patients before surgery, higher age, alanine transaminase, and total calorie and lower copper intakes were independent risk factors associated with liver fibrosis. These relationships were no longer observed after RYGB, likely due to the effect of surgery on weight and similar postsurgery diet among patients.

    Abstract There are no internationally agreed descriptors for categories of neonatal transports which facilitate comparisons between settings. To continually review and enhance neonatal transport care we need robust categories to develop benchmarks. This review aimed to report on the development and application of key measures across a national neonatal transport service. The UK Neonatal Transport Group (UK-NTG) developed a core dataset and benchmarks for transported infants and collected annual national data. Data were reported back to teams to allow benchmarking and improvements. From 2012 to 2021, the rate of UK neonatal transfers increased from 18 to 22/1000 live births despite a falling birth rate. Neonatal transfers on nitric oxide increased until 2016 before plateauing. The proportion of transport services able to provide high frequency oscillation and servo-controlled therapeutic hypothermia increased over the study period. High-flow nasal cannula oxygen use increased, becoming the most frequently used non-invasive respiratory support mode. For infants <27 weeks of gestational age, transfers for uplift of care in the first 3 days of life have fallen from 420 (2016) to 288 (2020/2021) and for lack of neonatal capacity from 24 (2016) to 2 (2020/2021). The rate of ventilated infants completing transfer with CO
