We present a randomized clinical trial to compare postoperative pain, complications, feeling of a foreign body, and recurrence between heavyweight and lightweight meshes in patients with bilateral groin hernia. Sixty-seven patients with bilateral hernia were included in our study. In each patient, the side of the lightweight mesh was decided by random numbers table. Pain score was measured by visual analogue scale, on 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th postoperative day, and one year after the surgery. There were no statistically significative differences between both meshes in postoperative complications. About differences of pain average, there were statistically significant differences only on the 1st postoperative day (P <0.01) and the 7th postoperative day (P <0.05). In the review after a year, there were no statistically significative differences in any parameter. In our study, we did not find statistically significative differences between lightweight and heavyweight meshes in postoperative pain, complications, feeling of a foreign body, and recurrence, except pain on 1st and 7th postoperative day.

Aberrant resting-state functional network centrality and cognitive impairment in unmedicated, euthymic bipolar patients.
BMC Psychiatry

Background: Cognitive impairment is prevalent in bipolar disorder (BD), and has negative impacts on functional impairments and quality of life, despite euthymic states in most individuals. The underlying neurobiological basis of cognitive impairment in BD is still unclear.
Methods: To further explore potential connectivity abnormalities and their associations with cognitive impairment, we conducted a degree centrality (DC) analysis and DC (seed)-based functional connectivity (FC) approach in unmedicated, euthymic individuals with BD.

Department of Vascular Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Aleppo University Hospital, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria.
Introduction And Importance: Leriche syndrome (LS), or aortoiliac occlusive disease, is a rare form of peripheral arterial disease leading to claudication, impotence, and diminished femoral pulses due to atheromatous obstruction of the infrarenal aorta and common iliac arteries. Early identification is crucial as untreated LS can result in severe complications. Treatment primarily involves surgical interventions, with endovascular options considered as alternatives.
