Introduction: There are concerns that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) can cause severe gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). The aim of this study was to assess GORD symptoms and quality of life following LSG.
Methods: A prospective study of patients undergoing LSG (2014-2016) was performed with follow-up by DeMeester Reflux/Regurgitation Score, Bariatric Quality of Life Index (BQLI) and Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS) Score pre-operatively, 6 months and 1-year post-operatively.

In this study, light-sensitive photosensitizers (Chlorin e6, Ce6) were linked to TiO and SiO nanoparticles (NPs) in order to develop new kinds of NP-based drug delivery systems for cancer treatment by PDT. TiO or SiO NPs were modified either by the growth of a polysiloxane layer constituted of two silane reagents ((3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)) around the core (PEGylated NPs: TiO@4Si-Ce6-PEG, SiO@4Si-Ce6-PEG) or simply modified by APTES alone (APTES-modified NPs: TiO-APTES-Ce6, SiO-APTES-Ce6). Ce6 was covalently attached onto the modified TiO and SiO NPs via an amide bond.

Background: The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS) evaluates the results of obesity treatments by analyzing 3 domains: weight loss, changes in co-morbidities, and quality of life. Up to 3 points are allowed for each, and points are deducted for complications and reoperations. The final score classifies the results in 5 outcome groups, providing an objective definition of success or failure.

Background: Laparoscopic gastric bypass, currently the most popular surgical method for bariatric therapy, have proved to be effective in weight loss, but some matters regarding its long-term efficacy for super-obese patients (BMI >50 kg/m2) have arisen. Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a complex technique that has shown good results in the treatment of the super-obese patient. We analyze our >5 years results, evaluating weight loss, morbidity and mortality of this operation, depending on the length of the common and alimentary limbs.
