Massive enlargement of gastric pouch as a complication of gastrojejunal anastomotic stenosis following one anastomosis laparoscopic gastric bypass: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: By 2030 it is predicted that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men will be living with obesity. The only long-term effective strategy for achieving significant weight loss over time is surgical treatment. One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) has been proposed as an effective therapeutic option.

Fluorescence polarization assay for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis: adaptation to field use.

A fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) was used to test whole blood samples prepared by mixing blood cells from cattle without exposure to Brucella abortus (B. abortus) with sera from animals with confirmed (bacteriologically) infection. A cut-off value between negative and positive values was initially established to be 87.

Evaluation of a fluorescence-polarization assay for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in México.

A homogeneous fluorescence-polarization assay (FPA) was used for the serological diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in México. The assay uses O-polysaccharide prepared from Brucella abortus lipoplysaccharide (20-30 kDa) conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate as a tracer. To measure the fluorescence polarization, a FPM-1 fluorescence-polarization analyzer was used with the procedure described by Nielsen et al.
