"Impact of preoperative gastrointestinal microbiota on weight-loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a pilot study ".

Background Information: In recent years the composition of gut microbiome has been linked to development of several diseases. The goal of the following study was to establish whether it is connected to the outcome of bariatric surgery. The objective was to analyze the oral and gut microbiota of patients suffering from morbid obesity who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).

Changes in the Composition of Oral and Intestinal Microbiota After Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass and Their Impact on Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery.

Background: We aimed to assess the changes in composition of bacterial microbiota at two levels of the digestive tract: oral cavity and large intestine in patients 6 months after bariatric surgery.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study including patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Before surgery and 6 months after the procedure, oral swabs were obtained and stool samples were provided.

Tissue Fillers for the Nasolabial Fold Area: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Tissue fillers injections remain to be one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures. The aim of this meta-analysis was to systematize and present available data on the aesthetic outcomes and safety of treating the nasolabial fold area with tissue fillers. We conducted a systematic review of randomized clinical trials that report outcomes concerning treatment of nasolabial fold area with tissue fillers.

Differences in Compositions of Oral and Fecal Microbiota between Patients with Obesity and Controls.

The aim of this study was to compare the differences in compositions of oral and fecal bacterial microbiota between patients with morbid obesity and normal-weight controls. This was a prospective cohort study. The study included group 1 (patients with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m) and group 2 (patients with BMI from 18.

Relationship between bariatric surgery outcomes and the preoperative gastrointestinal microbiota: a cohort study.

Background: The composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota is associated with obesity. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota influences the outcomes of bariatric surgery.

Objectives: We aimed to analyze using oral swabs and stool samples the microbiota of patients with morbid obesity who were undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

Does Postoperative Oral and Intestinal Microbiota Correlate with the Weight-Loss Following Bariatric Surgery?-A Cohort Study.

The composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota is associated with obesity. The aim of this study was to verify if, six months after bariatric surgery, patients who achieve satisfying weight-loss after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) have a different composition of oral and intestinal microbiota in comparison with those who do not. This prospective cohort study was conducted between November 2018 and November 2020.

Arterial resections in pancreatic cancer - Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The number of pancreatic resections due to cancers is increasing. While concomitant venous resections are routinely performed in specialized centers, arterial resections are still controversial. Nevertheless they are performed in patients presenting with locally advanced tumors.

Challenges associated with bariatric surgery - a multi-center report.

Introduction: Due to the constantly growing demand for surgical treatment of obesity, it is necessary to create new bariatric centers and further improve presently active ones.

Aim: To identify which stages of conducting peri-operative care and organizing a modern bariatric center currently pose the greatest challenge.

Material And Methods: An anonymous survey was designed and distributed to bariatric surgeons.

Alarming decline in recognition of anatomical structures amongst medical students and physicians.

Background: Insufficient anatomical training can put patients' safety at risk. The aim of this study was to assess the proficiency of medical students and physicians in identifying labeled anatomical structures. The second aim of the study was to evaluate factors that can affect this recognition.

Assessment of knowledge concerning urology among medical students in Poland.

Background And Objective: Urological diseases represent a significant health issue worldwide. Presented study aimed at assessing current urological knowledge and confidence in performing urological diagnostic and therapeutic procedures among medical students at Jagiellonian University Medical College in Poland and compare it on different stages of the undergraduate medical education.

Material And Methods: We designed an anonymous survey distributed among Polish students from 1st to 6th year of medical studies, before and after clinical urology course.
