Purpose: We aimed to assess outcomes in patients undergoing sequential intragastric balloon (IGB) treatment for obesity.
Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent treatment between May 2014 and February 2023 were identified. We recorded outcomes including: weight at 3-monthly intervals, progression to definitive bariatric procedure and morbidity.
Article Synopsis
- - Methemoglobinemia is a condition where hemoglobin is oxidized, preventing it from binding oxygen, leading to symptoms like cyanosis and potential heart failure; it can be congenital or acquired, with the congenital form being rare.
- - A case study of a 22-year-old man with congenital methemoglobinemia demonstrated the need for careful perioperative management during dental surgery, including avoiding certain anesthetics and ensuring appropriate oxygenation levels.
- - Effective management of congenital methemoglobinemia during surgery requires preoperative assessment, multidisciplinary care, avoidance of oxidizing agents, and strategies to maintain the patient's oxygenation and cardiovascular stability.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, requiring invasive surgery often before a child's first birthday. Current materials used during CHD surgery lack the ability to grow, remodel, and regenerate. To solve those limitations, 3D bioprinting is an emerging tool with the capability to create tailored constructs based on patients' own imaging data with the ability to grow and remodel once implanted in children with CHD.

It has been linked to autoimmune illnesses, including systemic lupus erythematosus, which may lead to cancer formation. However, the role of DNASE1 in cancer has not been studied.
