Evaluating the Safety of the Intragastric Balloon: Spanish Multicenter Experience in 20,680 Cases and with 12 Different Balloon Models.

Introduction: Intragastric balloon (IGB) is a minimally invasive and reversible option for obesity treatment. There is a worldwide growing number of different IGB models. The efficacy and safety profile for each model must be demonstrated.

Multicoverage Study of Femtosecond Laser-Induced Desorption of CO from Pd(111).

We study the strong coverage dependence of the femtosecond laser-induced desorption of CO from Pd(111) using molecular dynamics simulations that consistently include the effect of the laser-induced hot electrons on both the adsorbates and surface atoms. Adiabatic forces are obtained from a multicoverage neural network potential energy surface that we construct using data from density functional theory calculations for 0.33 and 0.

Spanish Intragastric Balloon Consensus Statement (SIBC): practical guidelines based on experience of over 20 000 cases.

Background: intragastric balloons (IGBs) are a minimally invasive, increasingly popular option for obesity treatment. However, there is only one worldwide guideline standardizing the technical aspects of the procedure (BIBC, SOARD 2018).

Objectives: to construct a practical guideline for IGB usage by reproducing and expanding the BIBC survey among the Spanish Bariatric Endoscopy Group (GETTEMO).

Urban and social vulnerability assessment in the built environment: An interdisciplinary index-methodology towards feasible planning and policy-making under a crisis context.

The current global crisis on Covid-19 has an adverse impact on urban regeneration of the built environment in emerging countries, with a recent world GDP drop of around 4.9 % and around 20-30 % decrease in economic funds intended for renovation policies, being required new decision support mechanisms to diagnose and quantify the vulnerability of existing neighbourhoods, aiming to conduct feasible and adjusted regeneration strategies. This research contributes with a novel interdisciplinary index-methodology for assessing the adequacy of housing environments with social backwardness, based on a dual weighting procedure of four main dimensions: Building, Urban, Environmental and Social (BUES), calculated through technical inspections, from technicians, together with social questionnaires, from users, with respect to 32 variables related to housing environments, urban services, and environmental issues.

Photoinduced Desorption Dynamics of CO from Pd(111): A Neural Network Approach.

Modeling the ultrafast photoinduced dynamics and reactivity of adsorbates on metals requires including the effect of the laser-excited electrons and, in many cases, also the effect of the highly excited surface lattice. Although the recent ab initio molecular dynamics with electronic friction and thermostats, (,)-AIMDEF [Alducin, M.; 2019, 123, 246802], enables such complex modeling, its computational cost may limit its applicability.

Endoscopic treatment of postoperative esophagogastric leaks with fully covered self-expanding metal stents.

Background: the management of postoperative esophageal leaks is a huge therapeutic challenge. Thanks to the advances in endoscopy, treatment with esophageal stents has been proposed as a valid option.

Aims: the main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of fully covered esophageal metal stents in the treatment of postoperative esophageal leaks.

Housing and neighbourhood diagnosis for ageing in place: Multidimensional Assessment System of the Built Environment (MASBE).

Current urban, health and social challenges demand new multidisciplinary assessment systems for decision-making in the built environment from the perspective of the elderly, as an even more vulnerable population. This research contributes with a Multidimensional Assessment System of the Built Environment (MASBE) that provides an integral diagnosis on the perceived suitability of urban and housing environments for an ageing population, whose novel approach is structured and weighted through 35 multidisciplinary variables that are organised in seven dimensions: design, accessibility, comfort, maintenance, security and health, use and control, and stimulus. The system is applied and tested in reference case studies from Spain and Mexico, in order to demonstrate its operation and replicability.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the management of biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Background: biliary complications are frequent after orthotopic liver transplantation and the management of these complications with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is available. The aims of the study were to analyze the experience in the endoscopic management of biliary complications after liver transplantation in a third level center. Furthermore, the factors associated with higher rates of technical and clinical success were determined.

Weak-field coherent control of photodissociation in polyatomic molecules.

A coherent control scheme is suggested to modify the output of photodissociation in a polyatomic system. The performance of the scheme is illustrated by applying it to the ultrafast photodissociation of CHI in the A-band. The control scheme uses a pump laser weak field that combines two pulses of a few femtoseconds delayed in time.

[Gastrointestinal bleeding caused by small bowel leiomyosarcoma].

The small bowel leiomyosarcoma is a infrequent tumour in the clinical practice. We report the case of a 50 year old male admitted to the hospital on two occasions for gastrointestinal bleeding. On the second occasion a push enteroscopy located in jejunum a tumour.

[Evaluation and improvement in the information of the patients who carry out a digestive endoscopy].

Introduction: The information is an important part of the attendance process though in occasions it can be inadequate or deficient.

Aim: We detect an opportunity of improvement in the inadequate information of the patients who carry out an endoscopia. The aim is to evaluate and to improve the quality of the information.

[Amebic colitis in an immunocompetent host].

Amebic colitis is a low prevalence illness in developed countries. Its diagnosis is infrequent and is usually made in certain groups of risk. Images studies are not useful in differential diagnosis with other illnesses as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBS).

[Multiple angiodysplasia of the small intestine. A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge].

Small bowel bleeding is infrequent and presents a challenge to the clinician. Approximately 30-40% of gastrointestinal bleeding localized in the small bowel is due to angiodysplasia, a vascular malformation. We present the case of a patient with multiple angiodysplasia of the small bowel who required push enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy to establish the diagnosis.
