Treatment of sleeve gastrectomy leak with an endoscopic stent.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is used increasingly for obesity treatment. The most important complications of this procedure are bleeding and staple line leak. In this article, a 44-year-old female patient who developed a leak at the gastro-oesophageal junction following a revision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is presented.

Differentially displayed proteins as a tool for the development of type 2 diabetes.

Background: Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease that still requires a great deal of work to be carried out to understand the pathophysiology. Recently, researchers have focused on studying the organs and tissues known to be involved in the development of the type 2 phenotype using a proteomic approach. Little work has been reported on plasma of type 2 diabetics in whom the clinical status has been well characterized.

The effects of salt and storage temperature on microbiological changes in hot-smoked mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio L.).

In this study, microbiological changes during processing and preservation of smoked mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) fillets were examined. In the processing phase the brining in two different salt concentration and smoke were used.

Quality of life for obese women and men in Turkey.

Introduction: Obesity is a complex, multifaceted disease that is widespread and growing in the developing world. People who are obese experience health-related quality-of-life impairments.

Methods: We administered the SF-36 Health Survey questionnaire to 1752 obese adults and 400 normal-weight adults in Izmir City, Turkey.

Effect of water temperature on the selectivity of monofilament gill nets (PA).

In this study, the selectivity feature of monofilament gill nets used in the Keban Dam Lake, varying with water temperature changing with the seasons was investigated in this research. The research was conducted between 20.07.

Effect of I-deprenyl and gliclazide on oxidant stress/antioxidant status and dna damage in a diabetic rat model.

Background: This study investigates the possible effect of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), selegyline (l-deprenyl), in combination with oral antidiabetic-gliclazide (OAD), in preventing oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetes model in male Swiss Albino rats by measuring oxidant stress/ DNA damage and antioxidant levels.

Methods: Diabetic rats were divided into four groups (n = 10) as (1) diabetic untreated (DM), (2) deprenyl treated (DM + D), (3) gliclazide treated (DM + O), and (4) gliclazide and deprenyl treated (DM + O + D). Controls were divided into two groups (n = 8) (1) untreated (C), and (2) deprenyl treated (C + D).

Effect of vitamin E and C supplementation combined with oral antidiabetic therapy on the endothelial dysfunction in the neonatally streptozotocin injected diabetic rat.

Background: This study investigates the contribution of vitamin supplementation to the efficacy of oral antidiabetic therapy on the reversal of endothelial dysfunction in a model of type-2 diabetes in rat.

Methods: Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin injection to neonatal rats which were breastfed for 4 weeks, then fed 6 weeks with normal food or food supplemented with 2% vitamin E and 4% vitamin C. Some diabetic rats were treated with gliclazide for 6 weeks.
