Association between metabolic and bariatric surgery and malignancy: a systematic review, meta-analysis, trends, and conclusions.

Background: Conflicting studies have investigated the association between obesity, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), and cancer.

Objectives: Our study aimed at elucidating the trends in cancer incidence that are related to obesity and weight loss managed through MBSs, like Colo-rectal, breast, uterine, and esophageal cancer.

Setting: We conducted a search using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library electronic databases through May 2020.

Gender Comparisons of Surgical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB): a Historical Cohort Study.

Introduction And Purpose: Clinical trials in the field of bariatrics have frequently been gender imbalanced, with males representing only 20% of examinees. Long-term gender-oriented results in one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), and specifically quality of life (QOL) parameters, have not been addressed sufficiently. A better understanding of gender's effect on OAGB outcomes can play an important role in selecting the appropriate bariatric surgery for patients.

Patient mobilization in the intensive care unit: Assessing practice behavior - A multi-center point prevalence study.

Objectives: To describe intensive care unit mobility clinical practice behaviors and the factors associated with these behaviors that could explain the theory-practice gap.

Methodology: A multi-center, descriptive, retrospective, one-day point prevalence study.

Setting: intensive care patients hospitalized for a minimum of 24 hours, in 20 Israeli Adult Intensive Care Units, from six medical centers.

Laser tissue soldering of the gastrointestinal tract: A systematic review LTS of the gastrointestinal tract.

Background: Laser Tissue Soldering (LTS) is a promising tissue bonding technique in which a solder is applied between the tissues and then irradiated by laser, causing it to solidify and form links with the tissue.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic review summarizing the state of research of LTS in the gastrointestinal tract.

Results: Most studies were conducted on large animal tissues, using liquid proteinaceous solder, and irradiated by a continuous wave laser at 808 nm.

PO 21% oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion in kidney transplantation: Any clinical benefit?

Background: In deceased donor kidney transplantation (KT), the use of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has been acquiring the status of best practice in the pre-transplant management of kidney grafts. Two types of HMP are currently available, oxygenated HMP and non-oxygenated HMP. However, data on the real clinical impact of oxygenation on KT outcome are still heterogeneous.
