Introduction: The diagnosis of cardiac contusion, caused by blunt chest trauma, remains a challenge due to the non-specific symptoms it causes and the lack of ideal tests to diagnose myocardial damage. A cardiac contusion can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Several diagnostic tests have been used to evaluate the risk of cardiac complications, but the challenge of identifying patients with contusions nevertheless remains.

- Previous studies indicate that GPR17 agonists promote feeding, while antagonists reduce it; however, whole body GPR17 knockout in C57Bl/6 mice did not impact energy balance significantly.
- Selective knockout in certain neuronal populations in mice leads to protection against obesity induced by high-fat diets, suggesting that the strain of mice used may influence outcomes.
- In 129 strain GPR17 knockout mice, a notable increase in energy expenditure and intake was observed alongside improved metabolic markers, indicating that the lack of GPR17 may enhance sympathetic activity and alter energy dynamics in response to low plasma fuel availability.
Purpose: Staple line leak (SLL) is a serious complication after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Common endoscopic treatment options include self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS), endoscopic internal drainage (EID), and endoscopic closure. The endoscopic negative pressure therapy (ENPT) is a promising treatment option combining temporary sealing of the defect with drainage of the inflammatory bed.

Materials And Methods: Eight patients were treated with EVT for SLL.
Background: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is deemed to be the most serious complication following total hip arthroplasty. Obesity and smoking are known risk factors for PJI. However, the influence of these variables on infection free survival, of septic revision hip arthroplasty, is yet to be explored.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The impact an article has on a specific field is manifested by its number of citations. The aim of this systematic review was to perform a citation analysis and identify the 100 most-cited articles in the field of minimally invasive (MI) gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Methods: The Institute for Scientific Information Web of Knowledge (1945-2017) was utilised to identify the top 100 most-cited articles in the field of MI GI surgery, using 19 distinct keywords.
Introduction: Obesity is considered a major risk factor for gallstone formation and is important due to its increasing prevalence worldwide. Many studies have reported an increased incidence of gallstone formation following bariatric surgery. This report documents a rare case of a complicated cholecystitis following sleeve gastrectomy and describes our management of the case and the management options for gallbladder disease in bariatric patients.
