Evolution of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms after bariatric surgery: A dose-response meta-analysis.

Background: Obesity is associated with increased prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease, with recent reports suggesting improvement in gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and weight loss following bariatric surgical intervention. However, the exact impact of the type of bariatric surgery on the evolution of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms has remained unexamined.

Methods: We systematically searched electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to December 2018) for eligible studies that satisfy prespecified inclusion criteria.

Myxedema Psychosis: Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis.

Background And Objective: The term myxedema psychosis (MP) was introduced to describe the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in patients with untreated hypothyroidism, but the optimal assessment and treatment of this condition are unclear. We aimed to synthesize data from the literature to characterize the clinical presentation and management of MP.

Methods: We performed a systematic review according to the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses) guidelines in PubMed (Medline), Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases, including observational studies, case series, and case reports published from 1/1/1980 to 31/12/2019 in the English language.

Fluid Administration in Emergency Room Limited by Lung Ultrasound in Patients with Sepsis: Protocol for a Prospective Phase II Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Sepsis remains a major health challenge with high mortality. Adequate volume administration is fundamental for a successful outcome. However, individual fluid needs differ between patients due to varying degrees of systemic vasodilation, circulatory flow maldistribution, and increased vascular permeability.

Myxedema psychosis: A protocol for a systematic review and a pooled analysis.

Background: Myxedema psychosis (MP) is a rare presentation of hypothyroidism. Although known for >70 years, a significant lack of systematic literature describing this condition exists. This limits the clinician's ability to identify and manage this entity properly.

GERD outcome after bariatric surgery: A protocol for systematic review and meta analysis.

Background/aim: Obesity is associated with increased incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and it has been suggested that GERD symptoms may be improved by weight reduction. However, various patterns of bariatric surgery may affect symptoms of GERD due to the changed anatomy of stomach and esophagus. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to analyze the effect of bariatric surgery on GERD.
