Purpose: Metabolic surgery remains underutilized for treating type 2 diabetes, as less invasive alternative interventions with improved risk profiles are needed. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a novel magnetic compression device to create a patent limited caliber side-to-side jejunoileal partial diversion in a nonhuman primate model.
Materials And Methods: Using an established nonhuman primate model of diet-induced insulin resistance, a magnetic compression device was used to create a side-to-side jejunoileal anastomosis.
Background: Accurately measuring the risk of pressure injury remains the most important step for effective prevention and intervention. Relative contributions of risk factors for the incidence of pressure injury in adult critical care patients are not well understood.
Objective: To develop and validate a model to identify risk factors associated with hospital-acquired pressure injuries among adult critical care patients.
Unlabelled: Accurately measuring the risk of pressure injury remains the most important step for effective prevention and intervention. Time-dependent risk factors for pressure injury development in the adult intensive care unit setting are not well understood.
Objectives: To develop and validate a dynamic risk prediction model to estimate the risk of developing a hospital-acquired pressure injury among adult ICU patients.
Background/purpose: Previous studies have shown that a patent, watertight esophageal anastomosis can be accomplished safely using specially-shaped magnets in piglets. However, it is unclear whether such a magnetic esophageal compression anastomosis (MECA) remains patent in the long-term. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of MECA in an experimental pig model over an observation period of 2 months.
