Incidence and management of internal hernia after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass without preventive closure of mesenteric defects: a single-center retrospective study.

The rising prevalence of obesity has led to an increase in bariatric procedures, with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) being one of the most commonly performed surgeries due to its efficacy and safety. However, internal hernia (IH) remains a significant complication post-LRYGB. The debate over preventive closure of mesenteric defects (MD) during LRYGB continues, with no consensus on the optimal technique.

Occurrence Of Limatus Durhamii In Artificial Containers In Atlantic Forest, São Paulo, Brazil.

has wild habits with ecological plasticity in anthropized environments. We report the occurrence of this species in several types of artificial containers in 2 fragments of the Atlantic Forest in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 1,428 larvae were collected, in which plastic containers had the highest abundance of immature forms of Li.

Analysis of diversity and an updated catalog of mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) in the Capivari-Monos Environmental Protection Area, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Capivari-Monos Environmental Protection Area (EPA) is located in the southern part of the São Paulo city Green Belt. Since the 1950s, this region has been affected by uncontrolled urban sprawl, resulting in a change in the ecological habits of some vector mosquitoes. Over the last two decades, cases of autochthonous bromeliad malaria associated with the presence of anopheline mosquitoes in the EPA have been recorded.

Taxonomic history, biology and ecology of Culex (Microculex) (Diptera: Culicidae).

Microculex is a subgenus of Culex that is mainly associated with natural breeding sites in wild environments such as cut bamboos, tree holes and bromeliads. However, recent findings of Culex (Microculex) species in bromeliads in urban areas and in artificial breeding sites close to human habitations suggest that they are becoming more tolerant of urbanization. Whilst dispersion studies of this subgenus have shown the ecological valency of some species in relation to human-impacted areas, there is a scarcity of studies on the blood-feeding habits, vector capacity and taxonomy of Microculex.
