Background: Sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery these days but is associated with de novo reflux.
Objective: We aimed to study the influence of hypotonic lower esophageal sphincter (LES) on postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Methods: Patients with pre- and postoperative esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) and 24-h pH monitoring (pHM) were included retrospectively in our study.
Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), introduced by Mason in 1982, is now discarded because of important long-term complications and technical difficulties to do revisional surgery. We investigated the long-term complications of VBG in our center and compared it with the literature data. Patients who underwent an open VBG at the University Hospital of Nantes between October 1991 and May 2006 were included.

We aimed to assess whether the Diabeloop Generation 1 (DBLG1) hybrid closed-loop artificial pancreas system improved glucose control compared with sensor-assisted pump therapy.
Methods: In this multicentre, open-label, randomised, crossover trial, we recruited adults (aged ≥18 years) with at least a 2 year history of type 1 diabetes, who had been treated with external insulin pump therapy for at least 6 months, had glycated haemoglobin (HbA) of 10% or less (86 mmol/mol), and preserved hypoglycaemia awareness.
