Effect of laparoscopic gastric sleeve vs. laparoscopic gastric bypass in Roux-Y on long-term weight loss in obese mexican population.

Objective: Compare the weight loss results between long-term procedures up to 5 years, after undergoing MGL and RYGB in Mexican patients with obesity and associated comorbidity. The most common bariatric surgical procedures worldwide are, laparoscopic gastric sleeve (MGL) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), as a treatment for weight loss and remission of comorbidity associated with obesity; however, they are the long-term weight loss results in the Mexican population are unknown.

Method: Retrospective, observational cohort of patients with obesity undergoing MGL or RYGB in a private hospital Medica Sur, in Mexico City, in the period from 2013 to 2021.

Performance of Indocyanine-Green Imaging for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping and Lymph Node Metastasis in Esophageal Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background And Objectives: Lymphatic mapping with indocyanine-green (ICG) and near-infrared light fluorescent imaging is widely used for sentinel lymph node staging in different types of cancer but is not fully accepted for all procedures because studies have reported heterogeneous results. This study aimed to assess the detection rate (DR) of ICG imaging for sentinel lymph node mapping (SLNM) and lymph node metastases (LNMs) in esophageal cancer.

Methods: A systematic search was performed to identify relevant studies examining the use of ICG imaging for SLNM in patients with esophageal cancer.

Performance of Indocyanine green for sentinel lymph node mapping and lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer: a diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis.

Background: Indocyanine green has been widely employed as a secure and easy technique for sentinel lymph node mapping in different types of cancer. Nonetheless, the usage of Indocyanine green has not been fully implemented due to the heterogeneous results found in published studies. Thus, the objective of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the overall performance of Indocyanine green for sentinel lymph node mapping and node metastasis in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.

Present and past perspectives on Clostridium difficile infection.

Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive bacillus that has become one of the main hospital-acquired human gastrointestinal infections in recent years. Its incidence is on the rise, involving more virulent strains, affecting new and previously uncontemplated groups of patients, and producing changes in clinical presentation and treatment response that influence disease outcome. Early diagnosis and disease stratification based on the severity of C.

[Wilkie Syndrome. A case report].

Background: Wilkie syndrome, also referred as superior mesenteric artery syndrome, is an unusual cause of a proximal small bowel obstruction. It is characterised by the compression of the duodenum in its third portion due to a narrowing of the space between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. Its presentation symptoms are consistent and include the obstruction of the proximal small bowel.
