Application of a simple anatomic approach to lesions of the cardia, both benign and malignant, in consecutive patients has demonstrated an excellent exposure with the same flexibility as the standard, circumferential, diaphragmatic, and abdominal incision used for the past 50 years. The technical details of the procedure and its application are described, along with the pertinent embryology, anatomy, and physiology that led to this approach.

Compact Arterial Monitoring Device Use in Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA): A Simple Validation Study in Swine.
Cureus
October 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced small bowel strictures (diaphragm disease) - an under-recognized cause of small bowel obstruction.
J Gastrointest Surg

Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Small bowel obstruction, often linked to long-term NSAID use, is a significant health issue that can lead to serious complications and high healthcare costs; the study focuses on a specific condition known as small bowel diaphragm disease.* -
- Researchers reviewed cases from 2010 to 2023, identifying 22 patients who had elective small bowel surgery, with all having documented NSAID use and evidence of strictures, but no signs of severe inflammation or other complications.* -
- The findings suggest that while preoperative imaging like CT or MR enterography can indicate strictures in most patients, it cannot definitively diagnose small bowel diaphragm disease, highlighting the need for surgeons to consider this condition in patients with obstruction and NSAID history.*
Standardized procedure for preventing late intestinal complications following minimally invasive total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a single-center retrospective cohort study.
Surg Endosc
July 2024
Department of Surgery, Fujita Health University, 1-98 Dengakugakubo, Kutsukake, Toyoake, Aichi, 470-1192, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of improved surgical procedures for preventing late complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, comparing two groups over ten years.
- The researchers found that the rate of late overall complications and intestinal complications significantly decreased after standardizing the surgical procedure, indicating better outcomes for patients.
- Specifically, the incidence of late complications fell from 9.0% in the first group (before standardization) to 2.9% in the second group (after standardization), highlighting Period-I as a risk factor for these complications.
Management of Paraesophageal Hernias.
Thorac Surg Clin
May 2024
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford School of Medicine, 300 Pasteur Drive, Falk Building, Stanford, CA 94305, USA. Electronic address:
Paraesophageal hernias are classified according to the altered anatomic relationships between the gastroesophageal junction or stomach and the diaphragmatic hiatus. Herniation of these structures into the mediastinum may produce common complaints such as reflux, chest pain, and dysphagia. The elective repair of these hernias is well tolerated and significantly improves quality of life among patients with symptomatic disease.

Centrifugal force is one of the factors that cannot be ignored in high-speed shaft systems. The multiple corrugated diaphragm (MCD) Coupling is suitable for high-power and high-speed situations; hence, it is crucial to investigate the stress and deformation of the wave disc under centrifugal load. This paper first uses the rotating shell thin film model to derive the circumferential stress and deformation displacement of the MCD under centrifugal load.
