Introduction: Primary obesity surgery, endoluminal (POSE) is a promising procedure for weight loss surgery because it is outpatient, is incisionless and has short recovery time. We demonstrate the POSE procedure as a potential option for the bariatric patient.
Materials And Methods: Using an endoluminal camera, we videotaped one of our surgeons performing the POSE procedure. With rows of sutures in the fundus and antrum, the stomach's volume is reduced.
Results: We demonstrate a successful POSE procedure in its entirety.
Conclusions: The POSE procedure is a promising option for the bariatric patient. Long-term studies are needed to show its efficacy.

Introduction: Language barriers within clinical settings pose a threat to patient safety. As a potential impediment to understanding, they hinder the process of obtaining informed consent and uptake of critical medical information. This study investigates the impact of the current use of interpreters, with a particular focus on of engaging laypersons as interpreters, rather than professional interpreters potentially affecting patient safety.

Molecular Docking is a critical task in structure-based virtual screening. Recent advancements have showcased the efficacy of diffusion-based generative models for blind docking tasks. However, these models do not inherently estimate protein-ligand binding strength thus cannot be directly applied to virtual screening tasks.
