Higher Adherence to ERAS Society® Recommendations is Associated with Shorter Hospital Stay Without an Increase in Postoperative Complications or Readmissions in Bariatric Surgery: the Association Between Use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols and Postoperative Complications after Bariatric Surgery (POWER 3) Multicenter Observational Study.

Purpose: The effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways in patients undergoing bariatric surgery remains unclear. Our objective was to determine the effect of the ERAS elements on patient outcomes following elective bariatric surgery.

Materials And Methods: Prospective cohort study in adult patients undergoing elective bariatric surgery.

[Inadequate secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide in children with acute brain injury].

Objective: Fluid and electrolyte disturbances are frequent after acute brain damage. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which can also be found in brain tissue, could be a hormone implicated in such disorders (cerebral salt wasting syndrome).

Patients And Methods: Plasma ANP levels were analyzed in 50 children with acute neurological deterioration (secondary to traumatic, infectious, convulsive tumor or vascular disorders) evaluated according to the modified Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).

Induction of interleukin-1 alpha production by Porphyromonas gingivalis in mononuclear blood cell cultures from periodontitis patients.

The capacity of mononuclear blood cells to produce interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) after stimulation with Porphyromonas gingivalis in cell culture was studied. The results obtained with cells from periodontitis patients were compared with those from a control population. The concentration of IL-1 alpha in serum and saliva was also determined and compared with the concentration in mononuclear blood cell cultures.
