Relationship between pancreatic resection volume and post-operative glucose intolerance in distal pancreatectomy: A retrospective study.

Background And Objectives: Some researchers are concerned that the performance of pancreatic resection in cases of low malignancy with distal localization will increase, resulting in the occurrence or worsening of post-operative glucose intolerance. Herein, we retrospectively investigated the relationship between the pancreatic resection ratio and post-operative glucose intolerance in distal pancreatectomy (DP).

Methods: Total 135 patients who underwent DP at our hospital and were followed up for > 12 months between January 2013 and December 2022 were included.

Transcatheter Arterial Embolization for Blunt Splenic Injury With Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta: The Significance of Early Involvement of Radiologists.

Splenectomy is a common procedure for managing splenic injury in patients with unstable vital signs. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has emerged as a limited alternative to splenectomy, although the role of TAE can be expanded upon the stabilization of vital signs. The current case report discusses a man in his 50s, in shock after a motor vehicle accident, who was successfully stabilized using resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), followed by splenic artery embolization (SAE) instead of splenectomy, with early involvement of diagnostic and interventional radiologists from the initial stage of care.

Elective Cholecystectomy After Endoscopic Gallbladder Stenting for Acute Cholecystitis: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis.

Objective: To investigate the influence of endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) on subsequent cholecystectomy. We retrospectively compared the surgical outcomes of EGBS, followed by elective cholecystectomy with those of immediate cholecystectomy (IC).

Patients And Methods: A total of 503 patients were included in this study.

Giant Adrenal Lipoma with Hemorrhage Requiring Extended Surgical Resection.

Adrenal lipoma is a rare, benign tumor, reported to account for 0.7% of primary adrenal tumors. A 69-year-old man presented with left lateral abdominal pain.

The effects of combined elastic- and free-weight tension vs. free-weight tension on one-repetition maximum strength in the bench press.

The present study investigated the effects of training combining elastic tension, free weights, and the bench press. Eleven college-aged men (untrained) in the bench press participated in the 13-week study. The participants were first given instructions and then practiced the bench press, followed by a one-repetition maximum (1RM) test of baseline strength.

Reversible haptotropic shift in zirconocene-hexapentaene complexes.

Low-valent zirconocene species reacted with 1,1,6,6-tetraalkyl-1,2,3,4,5-hexapentaenes to form both 1-zirconacyclopent-3-ynes and eta2-pi-coordinated complexes according to the alkyl groups (R) and the existence of the neutral ligand (L). Haptotropic interconvertion between these two complexes was observed. It was proposed that double insertion of isocyanide into the Zr-C bond of 1-zirconacyclopent-3-ynes takes place via the isocyanide adduct of the eta2-pi-complex as an intermediate.
