Abstract Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass is a very common surgical procedure in managing morbid obesity. Approximately 303,890 roux-en-y surgeries were performed in the United States in between the years of 2012 to 2017, and the number is steadily increasing as more Americans are diagnosed with obesity.i This featured case report describes a 52-year-old female presenting with complications seven years following Roux-en-y gastric bypass. Four years post-operatively, she presented to the ER with a pelvis fracture. It was incidentally found that she had osteoporosis with a t-score of -2.9. It was also found that her bone mineral density (BMD) for women for her age was low with a z-score of -3.5 and her 10-year probability of getting fractures was high with a Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) score of 6.2%. Seven years following Roux-en-y gastric bypass, she presented to our primary care office with Vitamin B12 deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism due to Vitamin D deficiency. We attempted to correct the deficiencies with high dose of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and calcium citrate. Eight months later, the B12 levels was normalized, but the secondary hyperparathyroidism and Vitamin D deficiency were not corrected. This case illustrates the complications that can occur following a Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass, importance of supplement compliance, and proper follow-up with Roux-en-y patients.

Liberal Political Theory

The persistence of racial inequality in the United States raises deep and complex questions of racial justice. Some observers argue that public policy must be “color-blind,” while others argue that policies that take race into account should be defended on grounds of diversity or integration. This chapter begins to sketch an alternative to both of these, one that supports strong efforts to address racial inequality but that focuses on the conditions necessary for the liberty and equality of all. It argues that while race is a social construction, it remains deeply embedded in American society. A conception of racial justice is needed, one that is grounded on the premises provided by liberal political theory.

This article investigates the relationship between Asian American and modern Japanese history by analyzing the image of Japanese Americans in postwar Japan. Based on a book of photographs featuring Japanese immigrants in Hawai‘i published in 1956, it analyzes how their image was appropriated and redefined in Japan to promote as well as reinforce the nation’s political and cultural alliance with the United States. The photographs showed the successful acculturation of Japanese in Hawai‘i to the larger American society and urged the Japanese audience to see that their nation’s postwar reconstruction would come through the power and protection of the United States. Japanese Americans in Hawai‘i served as a lens through which the Japanese in Japan could imagine their position under American hegemony in the age of Cold War.

The first completely researched history of U.S. Spanish-language television traces the rise of two foremost, if widely unrecognized, modern American enterprises—the Spanish-language networks Univision and Telemundo. It is a standard scholarly history constructed from archives, original interviews, reportage, and other public materials. Occasioned by the public’s wakening to a “Latinization” of the U.S., the book demonstrates that the emergence of Spanish-language television as a force in mass communication is essential to understanding the increasing role of Latinos and Latino affairs in modern American society. It argues that a combination of foreign and domestic entrepreneurs and innovators who overcame large odds resolves a significant and timely question: In an English-speaking country, how could a Spanish-speaking institution have emerged? Through exploration of significant and colorful pioneers, continuing conflicts and setbacks, landmark strides, and ongoing controversies—and with revelations that include regulatory indecision, behind-the-scenes tug-of-war, and the internationalization of U.S. mass media—the rise of a Spanish-language institution in the English-speaking U.S. is explained. Nine chapters that begin with Spanish-language television’s inception in 1961 and end 2012 chronologically narrate the endeavor’s first 50 years. Events, passages, and themes are thoroughly referenced.
