Effects of film-forming components on the viability of probiotics and the application of synbiotic pectin film in preserving Da Xanh pomelo and Thai jackfruit fresh-cut.

Minimally processed products are highly convenient, and fresh-cut fruits coated with the synbiotic film have many advantages. This study investigated the film-forming components and preservation ability of Da Xanh pomelo and Thai jackfruit fresh-cut by synbiotic pectin film. The results showed that PA70 film combined with 1.

Resuscitation Leadership Training: A Simulation Curriculum for Emergency Medicine Residents.

Introduction: Throughout training, emergency medicine (EM) residents must learn to work within, and eventually lead, multidisciplinary teams in high-acuity dynamic situations. Most residents do not undergo formal resuscitation team leadership training but learn these skills through mentorship by and observation of senior physicians. We designed and implemented a formal simulation-based leadership training program for EM residents.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy; Novice Surgeon Learning Curve.

Introduction: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a novel endoscopic procedure used to treat achalasia and other spastic esophageal disorders that is an alternative to Heller myotomy. We seek to define the learning curve of POEM for a foregut surgeon with no formal endoscopic or POEM training by analyzing different intraoperative factors in a single series.

Methods And Procedures: The first 38 consecutive patients undergoing POEM by a single foregut surgeon were included in this retrospective study.

Safety comparison of minimally invasive abdomen-only esophagectomy versus minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: We report mortality and post-operative complications from esophageal resection in the treatment of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma or stricture, comparing a minimally invasive abdomen-only esophagectomy (MIAE) approach with a minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIILE) approach.

Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma or stricture treated by either MIAE or MIILE was conducted. MIAE was offered for strictures less than five centimeters or cancers that were American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Stage ≤ T2 without lymphadenopathy.
