Endoscopic negative pressure therapy for post-sleeve gastrectomy proximal staple line leaks: A single center experience of 40 patients.

Introduction: Post-sleeve gastrectomy (SG) proximal staple line leak is a rare yet serious complication. Endoscopic negative pressure therapy (ENPT) has emerged as a safe technique, showing promising results in treating leakages of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, often in conjunction with surgical interventions. A standardized treatment algorithm has not been established.

Screen interaction behavior in companion dogs: results from a dog owner survey.

Despite availability of video content marketed for dog () entertainment, there is little information on dog behaviors when viewing content, nor describing which content is engaging. The aims of this study were to define demographics of dogs that engage with screens, owner observed behaviors, and perceived content interest. A digital survey was distributed to dog owners (03/2022-03/2023).

What Is Your Diagnosis?

In collaboration with the American College of Veterinary Radiology.

Panel of emerging cardiac biomarkers contributes for prognosis rather than diagnosis in chronic heart failure.

Background: As complex disease, heart failure is associated with various pathophysiological and biochemical disorders. No single biomarker is able to display all these characteristics. Therefore, we evaluated a multimarker panel together with the biochemical gold-standard NT-proBNP.

Equal performance of novel N-terminal proBNP (Cardiac proBNP®) and established BNP (Triage BNP®) point-of-care tests.

Background: Recently, a novel point-of-care test (POCT) for N-terminal proBNP (NTproBNP) has been introduced (Cardiac proBNP®, Roche).

Aim: The aim was to compare the novel POCT for NTproBNP with the established POCT for BNP.

Methods: NTproBNP and BNP were assessed in 222 individuals with chronic heart failure (n = 151) or controls (n = 71) with both POCTs.
