Long-Term Outcome of One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass: 10-Year Follow-Up of a Single Institution Series.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety, nutritional status, and resolution of obesity complications of patients following one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).

Methods: A retrospective observational study of patients who underwent OAGB in our center between January 2011 and December 2013 was performed.

Results: During the study period, 152 patients underwent OAGB procedure in our center.

Toxicity of crude oil-derived polar unresolved complex mixtures to Pacific herring embryos: Insights beyond polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Crude oil toxicity to early life stage fish is commonly attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, it remains unclear how the polar unresolved complex mixture (UCM), which constitutes the bulk of the water-soluble fraction of crude oil, contributes to crude oil toxicity. Additionally, the role of photomodification-induced toxicity in relation to the polar UCM is not well understood.

Assessment of prevalence of vascular contact of the facial nerve in asymptomatic patients using three-dimensional constructive interference in steady-state (3D CISS) MRI acquisition.

Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of vascular contact of the facial nerve in patients without hemifacial spasm or facial palsy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Material And Methods: Our radiology database was accessed to find a series of consecutive adult patients who underwent MRI of the brain during the study period, excluding those with a history of hemifacial spasm (HFS), facial palsy, traumatic brain injury, intracranial tumour, intracranial surgery, trigeminal neuro-vascular compression, brain radiation therapy, and studies with poor image quality. A total of 112 (224 sides) MRIs of the posterior fossa were independently reviewed by 2 radiologists for neurovascular contact involving the facial nerve.
