  • PMVT is an uncommon but increasingly recognized complication following sleeve gastrectomy, with incidence rates between 0.37% and 1%, primarily affecting middle-aged women with a high mean body mass index.
  • Nearly 40% of patients had pre-existing conditions like hypertension and diabetes, while a notable percentage tested positive for hereditary thrombophilia.
  • Although PMVT poses significant risks, including a 14.6% rate of acute major complications and a 3.37% mortality rate, further research is needed to improve prevention and management strategies for this condition.

Optical constants of amorphous GeO(x) films as a function of wavelength are determined for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, in thin films grown by laser deposition and dc sputtering of Ge in an oxygen environment. We determined the oxygen content of the films by combining nuclear reaction analysis and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. Spectroscopic ellipsometry is used to determine the film optical constants.
