Background: This study aimed to compare outcomes following antral preserving (AP) and antral resecting (AR) laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in terms of weight loss, gastric emptying time, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), resolution of associated medical problems, and complications.
Methods: Patients were prospectively randomized into two groups: the AR group (resection starting 2 cm from the pylorus) and the AP group (resection at 5 cm from the pylorus). Follow-up evaluations included assessments of weight loss using percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) and percentage of total weight loss (%TWL), gastric emptying, GERD symptoms, associated medical problem resolution, residual gastric volume, and complications.
Introduction: Acute and chronic pancreatitis (CP) are inflammatory conditions of the pancreas that cause local and systemic complications. The epidemiology of these conditions are not well-known in India.
Methods And Analysis: We describe the protocol and procedures of a multicentre study for delineating the epidemiology of pancreatitis in India.
Article Synopsis
- Non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD) occurs when patients experience ongoing symptoms despite following a gluten-free diet for 6-12 months, with a prevalence found to be about 22% in a systematic review of studies.
- The analysis identified inadvertent gluten exposure as the leading cause of NRCD, affecting one-third of the patients, followed by functional gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome.
- The findings highlight the need for better adherence to gluten-free diets and the development of new treatments to address symptoms persisting from unintentional gluten intake.
The whole-genome sequences of four multi-drug-resistant strains, namely, DAK02, DAK03, DAK05, and DAK10, are reported here. The strains were isolated from fecal samples of ulcerative colitis patients from Northern India. The size of the draft genome sequence ranged from 4,809 to 5,000 kb.
