Physical activity has been associated with a lower risk of various types of cancer and reduced cancer-specific mortality. Less is known about its impact on pancreatic cancer. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize evidence on the association between physical activity and pancreatic cancer risk and mortality.

Ideally, the membranes should be able to achieve good enantioselectivity, while maintaining high stability in harsh solvents. However, engineering membranes for chiral molecular separation in harsh organic solvent environments is still a big challenge.

Summary Of Background Data: IH is one of the most important and challenging complications following RYGB. Therefore, early and adequate diagnosis of IH is necessary.
Introduction: Over the past decade, robotic pancreatic surgery has gained popularity. Although anatomically comparable, the small size of pediatric patients might impede the use of the surgical robot due to the size of the robotic arms. Pediatric pancreatic resection is rarely indicated, hence only few cases of pediatric robotic pancreatic resection have been described (Hagendoorn et al.

Multiple case reports have described this complication, and recently, several retrospective studies have been published describing the surgical treatment of intussusception. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of intussusception following RYGB and provide insight into outcomes of subsequent operative treatment.
