    Abstract Importance: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remains one of the most commonly performed operations for morbid obesity and is associated with significant long-term weight loss and comorbidity remission. However, health care utilization rates following RYGB are high and abdominal pain is reported as the most common presenting symptom for those seeking care.
    Observations: Given the limitations of physical examination in patients with obesity, correct diagnosis of abdominal pain following RYGB depends on a careful history and appropriate use of radiologic, laboratory and endoscopic studies, as well as a clear understanding of post-RYGB anatomy. The most common etiologies of abdominal pain after RYGB are internal hernia, marginal ulcer, biliary disease (eg, cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis), and jejunojejunal anastomotic issues. Early identification of the etiology of the pain is essential, as some causes, such as internal hernia or perforated gastrojejunal ulcer, may require urgent or emergent intervention to avoid significant morbidity. While laboratory findings and imaging may prove useful, they remain imperfect, and clinical judgment should always be used to determine if surgical exploration is warranted.
    Conclusions and relevance: The etiologies of abdominal pain after RYGB range from the relatively benign to potentially life-threatening. This Review highlights the importance of understanding key anatomical and technical aspects of RYGB to guide appropriate workup, diagnosis, and treatment.

    Abstract Bottom waters of the Louisiana mid-continental shelf regularly become hypoxic with < 64 mmol m−3 (< 2 mg/l) dissolved oxygen (DO) during spring and summer months. This hypoxia is ultimately due to freshwater and nutrient inputs from the Mississippi River system. Two local controls of hypoxia were investigated, rates of respiration (R) in bottom waters versus the metabolic age of bottom water oxygen pools, estimated as time since oxygen saturation (TSOS). Fast R could lead to hypoxia even in recently formed bottom waters, while conversely, extended periods of bottom water isolation and TSOS could lead to hypoxia formation even when R is slow. Shipboard 24 h dark R measurements that were carried out during July shelfwide cruises in 2007 and 2008 indicated relatively slow R and long TSOS for hypoxic waters. To check these shipboard incubation results, oxygen isotopes were measured and modelled as field indicators of past R (RP), a time-averaged measure of in situ R that occurred prior to sampling during the days-to-weeks of oxygen drawdown in bottom waters. The isotope measurements showed that shipboard incubation R (RI) experiments underestimated RP that was 18–34% higher for hypoxic bottom waters than normoxic (DO > 64 mmol m−3) bottom waters. The field isotope measurements also showed that RP was above average and more important when and where river influences were larger, especially in the flood year 2008 and on the eastern shelf. In contrast, bottom water metabolic ages estimated as TSOS were above average and more important for hypoxia formation when and where river influences were smaller, especially in the average-flow year 2007 and on the western shelf.

    Abstract Sediment denitrification plays an important role in nitrogen removal in aquatic systems. However, the importance in nitrogen removal in reservoirs, with a focus on seasonal differences of conditions such as macrophyte beds and environmental factors, is less well understood. This study examined sediment denitrification rate (Dₙ), and their potential controlling factors were determined in both macrophyte beds and deeper waters in the subtropical reservoir. The mean Dₙ in the reservoir annually was 18.0 ± 6.3 (mean ± S.E.) mmol N m⁻² d⁻¹, with significant seasonal variation (p < 0.01), i.e. 43.2 ± 12.8, 6.7 ± 6.3, and 4.0 ± 2.2 mmol N m⁻² d⁻¹ in winter, spring and summer respectively. There were no statistical differences in Dₙ between shallow waters with macrophyte beds and deeper waters without macrophyte beds, although macrophyte beds had higher denitrification rates in summer. The Dₙ rates were significantly correlated with temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrate-nitrogen concentration (NO₃⁻-N) (p < 0.01) and turbidity (p < 0.05). Linear regression models demonstrated environmental variables explained between 36% and 76% of the variation in Dₙ. The correlation with NO₃⁻-N concentrations suggests that it may be a limited factor for Dₙ. Annual nitrogen removal of the reservoir by a combination of sediment and water denitrification was totally estimated to be 370 t N with an annual removal efficiency of approximately 11%. Nitrogen removal was much higher in winter than other seasons, with about 305 t N removed, accounting for 12% of the total nitrogen inputs. Therefore, denitrification appears to play a minor role throughout much of the year, but in winter months when nitrate accumulates, it may play a more major role.

    Abstract Trace element accumulation pathways are important in many ecological and toxicological studies on aquatic organisms, yet these pathways are often poorly understood. To study the influence of diet and environment on the trace element composition of species within estuarine food webs, we performed a community level assessment of 28 trace elements (including major and minor elements) in common fish and prawn taxa across four estuaries, and in fish, prawn, and other invertebrate taxa within a single estuary. Despite sediment substrates from the four estuaries having distinctly different geochemical compositions, food web samples showed no separation by estuary, but clear separation by taxa. Grouping of taxa by trace elements was related to feeding ecology, with pelagic taxa separated from benthic taxa, and mixed feeding by generalist taxa. Arsenic and selenium were more concentrated in benthic fish, while aluminium, barium, copper, iron, manganese, vanadium, and zinc were more concentrated in pelagic fish. Trophic level did not appear to influence trace element composition. Previous laboratory studies have shown that food sources influence trace element concentrations in marine taxa and this study confirms that this also occurs in natural food webs. These results improve our understanding of the dominant importance of diet and physiology in controlling the trace element composition of species within estuarine food webs.

    Abstract Floods are extreme weather events that can rapidly change water quality in receiving estuaries. The delivery of nutrients to the coastal zone via floods may stimulate productivity; however, in urban areas, the degradation of water quality and influx of contaminants can negatively affect inhabiting biota. Determining flood effects on inhabiting biota is important for informing catchment management practices. We investigated the body condition response of a commercially important prawn species, the brown tiger prawn Penaeus esculentus, to a large cyclone-driven flood in an urbanized subtropical coastal bay. Prawns were caught 10 days before the flood, 11 days after the flood, and 53 days after the flood in bare substrate areas of central Moreton Bay in Australia. Stable isotopes (δ¹⁵N and δ¹³C) were determined for prawn muscle tissue, and lipid content and a length-weight (Fulton’s K) index were used to assess prawn body condition. There were two distinct isotope signatures of tiger prawns living in either riverine or marine influenced areas, suggesting different residency areas within the bay. A flood signal (lower δ¹³C values post-flood) was detected in prawns in the southern area closest to the Logan River. Condition indices showed a short-term increase in condition of prawns in these southern sites, with no apparent condition change in prawns at other sites. A concurrent pulse in benthic primary productivity (chlorophyll a biomass) was measured in this southern area. Our results suggest that nutrients from the flood stimulated benthic primary production that was transferred through the food web, with positive impacts on prawn nutrition at southern sites. With an expected increase in unpredictable weather, including floods, under a changing climate, understanding short- and long-term ecosystem responses in modified catchments is important for mitigating sediment erosion and estuarine and coastal infilling effects, while maintaining productivity benefits to fisheries in receiving estuaries.
