Port Site Placement and Outcomes for Surgical Obesity and Metabolic Surgeries (PSPOSO) Checklist: A New Reporting Checklist Based on Evidential Assessment of the Number of Trocars and Positions.

Since the early 1980s, efforts to standardize ergonomic practices in laparoscopic surgeries have aimed to improve procedural efficiency and reduce complications, but clinical validation remains limited. In metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS), innovations in trocar site placements, driven by the popularity of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), have advanced surgical techniques. However, practices often vary based on individual surgeon preferences rather than standardized evidence-based criteria.

Expert-Based Narrative Review on Compression UltraSonography (CUS) for Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a pathological condition that develops when a thrombus forms within the deep venous system. Typically, it involves the lower limbs and, less frequently, the upper extremities or other unusual districts such as cerebral or splanchnic veins. While leg DVT itself is rarely fatal and occasionally can lead to limb-threatening implications, its most fearsome complication, namely pulmonary embolism, is potentially fatal and significantly contributes to increased healthcare costs and impaired quality of life in affected patients and caregivers.

Precision Emergency Medicine: A Systematic Review.

Precision medicine, which customizes healthcare based on individual genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, has significantly advanced various medical fields. However, its adoption in emergency medicine remains limited despite the potential to enhance patient outcomes through more accurate diagnostics and personalized treatments. This systematic review examined current evidence on the application of precision medicine in emergency care by analyzing studies published between 2010 and 2024.

Multiseptate gallbladder in a pediatric pateint: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Multiseptate gallbladder (MSG) is an uncommon congenital condition characterized by internal septa dividing the gallbladder into multiple compartments. This condition poses unique challenges in diagnosis and management due to its rarity and varied clinical presentations.

Case Presentation: A 4-year-old female presented with a three-month history of colicky abdominal pain.

Comparison of transverse dimensional and incisor changes between wide and narrow orthodontic archwires: a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To clinically compare the effects of broader archwires to standard archwires, using conventional brackets in both cases, on the transverse and incisor changes in maxillary and mandibular arches during leveling and alignment.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-two patients presenting with crowding were allocated into two groups; one group received the broad Damon archwires while the other received standard 3M OrthoForm III Ovoid archwires. All participants were treated with conventional brackets using similar archwire sequences (0.

Can Incidental Gastric GISTs During Bariatric Surgeries Change the Primary Plan of Surgery? A Single Team Experience and a Systematic Review of Literature.

As bariatric surgeries (BS) increase, more incidental findings are liable to be discovered. Incidental gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) during BS can be found in around 0.7% of the cases.

Perceptions of Pharmacy Graduate Students Toward Research Ethics Education: A Cross-Sectional Study from a Developing Country.

Despite the potential value of graduate-level research ethics training, most Middle East countries, including Jordan, do not routinely offer formal research ethics training. In students enrolled in Jordanian master's level graduate program in pharmacy, the current study assessed: 1- differences in pre- and post-enrollment exposure to research ethics core themes, 2- whether this exposure was through a formal course or in an informal setting, and 3- student attitudes towards research ethics education and the need for integrating a dedicated research ethics course into pharmacy graduate programs. A 12-item on-line survey was developed by the authors and disseminated to a convenience sample of current and former master-level pharmacy students in Jordan.
