Background: Globally, totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is increasingly being accepted by surgeons for the treatment of gastric cancer. Overlap anastomosis and π-shaped anastomosis are the two most commonly used anastomosis methods in total laparoscopic surgery; however, their safety and suitability for the population are still unclear.
Methods: A total of 162 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent total laparoscopic total gastrectomy with overlap or π-shaped anastomosis were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Positivity for anti-gp210 and anti-centromeric antibodies (ACA) in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) have been associated with the progression of liver failure and portal hypertension (PH), respectively. The value of combining risk autoantibody assessments with prognostic scoring systems in improving risk assessment in patients with PBC remains unclear.
Aims: To investigate the prognostic significance of various combinations of anti-gp210 and ACA statuses and their enhancing the prognostic utility on the GLOBE scoring system.

Objective: This study aims to explore the association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and stroke and all-cause mortality, and compare whether it has an advantage over Life's Simple 7 (LS7).
Methods: This study investigated data from NHANES spanning from 1999 to 2018. The LE8 was categorized as low, moderate and high cardiovascular health (CVH).

Introduction: Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) constitute two major advances in pain management after major abdominal surgery. However, the role of PCIA or PCEA has not been particularly studied in elderly patients with gastric cancer. The aim of this study is to make a comparison between PCIA and PCEA in terms of their performance on short-term outcomes in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy.

Background: The concomitant hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (c-TIF) is a novel anti-reflux procedure that addresses the hiatus and the gastro-esophageal flap valve for surgical candidates with GERD. We aim to compare the outcomes of a hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (TIF) vs surgical partial fundoplication (anterior and posterior) with regards to quality-of-life scores at 12 months after surgery.
Study Design: Following IRB approval, a prospectively maintained anti-reflux database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent a c-TIF procedure or a surgical hiatal hernia repair with partial fundoplication.
