Background: Historically, mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) is performed prior to bariatric procedures; but our counter parts in colorectal surgery have shown that no-MBP is non-inferior to MBP, in regard to post-operative complications. The purpose of our study was to show that no-MBP prior to bariatric surgery is also non-inferior to MBP.
Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on patients undergoing bariatric surgical procedures (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, or Sleeve Gastrectomy). We randomized patients to MBP and no-MBP. Number of post-operative complications (intraabdominal abscess, anastomotic leak, acute kidney injury, dehydration), readmission, and wound infection for 30 days post-procedure was recorded.
Results: A total of 139 patients were enrolled with 71 in the MBP group and 68 in the no-MBP group. Complication rates were similar between the MBP and no-MBP (12.7% vs. 10.2%, respectively; p = 0.660). Median hospital length of stay was similar for MBP and no-MBP (1 vs. 1 day, respectively; p = 0.782). Hospital readmissions for MBP vs. no-MBP was, 4.4% vs. 5.6%, respectively (p = 1.000).
Conclusion: Mechanical bowel preparation is likely not necessary prior to bariatric procedures.

The effect of preoperative mechanical bowel preparation in paediatric bowel surgery on postoperative wound related complications: A meta-analysis.

Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP), a routine nursing procedure before paediatric bowel surgery, is widely should in clinical practice, but its necessity remains controversial. In a systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the effect of preoperative MBP in paediatric bowel surgery on postoperative wound-related complications in order to analyse the clinical application value of MBP in paediatric bowel surgery. As of November 2023, we searched four online databases: the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the impact of mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) versus no MBP on patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery across two multicenter studies in Italy, involving 8359 patients.
- It found that patients who did not have MBP experienced a significantly lower rate of anastomotic leakage (3.5%) compared to those who did (6.0%), while no significant differences were noted in surgical site infections between the two groups.
- Additionally, patients without MBP had lower reoperation rates and shorter hospital stays, suggesting that avoiding MBP may be more beneficial for elective colorectal surgeries.
Schwann cells and myelin in human peripheral nerve: Major protein components vary with age, axon size and pathology.

Aims: We examined major protein components of Schwann cells (SCs) and myelin in normal and diseased human peripheral nerves.
Methods: We evaluated distributions of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), P0 protein (P0) and myelin basic protein (MBP) in frozen sections of 98 sural nerves.
Results: Non-myelinating SC in normal adults contained NCAM, but not P0 or MBP.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been considered to specifically affect the central nervous system (CNS) for a long time. As autonomic dysfunction including dysphagia can occur as accompanying phenomena in patients, the enteric nervous system has been attracting increasing attention over the past years. The aim of this study was to identify glial and myelin markers as potential target structures for autoimmune processes in the esophagus.
