Ileocolonic Intussusception Secondary to Colon Cancer: A Rare Cause of Abdominal Pain In Adults.

Intussusception, defined as the telescoping of one segment of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent one, is a rare cause of abdominal pain in the adult population due to underlying benign or malignant pathology. With the liberal use of CT in the evaluation of patients with abdominal pain, the diagnosis became more reliable. Resection of the bowel segment is the recommended treatment in most cases.

Nutritional Deficiencies Before and After Bariatric Surgery in Low- and High-Income Countries: Prevention and Treatment.

Nutritional deficiencies represent a prevalent concern among individuals with obesity, stemming from suboptimal dietary habits, chronic inflammation, and preoperative weight reduction efforts. Bariatric surgical interventions, employing either restrictive, malabsorptive or a combination of the two methods, further compound these deficiencies. Commonly observed nutritional deficits following bariatric surgeries include vitamin B, vitamin D, thiamine, folate, iron, and protein deficiencies.

Comparing Perioperative Outcomes of Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) With Volatile Anesthesia in Patients With Obesity: A Systematic Review.

In this systematic review, the perioperative outcomes of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and volatile anesthesia were compared in obese adults (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) undergoing elective surgery. The review analyzed data from 12 randomized-controlled trials involving 935 patients, sourced from PubMed/MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The focus was on intraoperative vital signs, emergence time, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), duration of post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, and ICU admission rates.
