Objective: The twisting of the gastric tube is one of the main causes of persistent reflux and food intolerance after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). To date, there is no classification for gastric twist after SG. This study aimed to propose an endoscopic classification for this condition and outline the clinical profile of these patients with sleeve gastrectomy.
Methods: Patients in the postoperative period of SG presenting endoscopic findings of gastric twist were included. All patients underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy 12 months after SG. The classification proposed consists of three degrees: degree I: mild rotation of the staple line without relevant shrinkage of the gastric lumen; degree II: moderate rotation of the staple line, leading to a focal area of fixed narrowing that requires additional maneuvers for its transposition; and degree III: severe rotation of the staple line leading to stenosis, with increased difficulty for transposition or complete blockage.
Results: Out of 2,723 patients who underwent SG, 45 (1.6%) presented gastric twist. Most patients were female (85%), with mean age of 39±10.4 years. In all, 41 (91.1%) presented degree I, 3 (6.7%) presented degree II, and 1 (2.2%) had degree III. Most patients were asymptomatic (n=26). Vomiting was the most prevalent symptom (15.5%). Statistically significant correlation of twisting degrees was not observed for both the presence of symptoms and the degrees of esophagitis.
Conclusion: Gastric twist after SG is rare, with generally mild and asymptomatic presentation. The endoscopic classification was not statistically related to clinical presentation but set the ground for further analysis.

Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia Syndrome With Aortic Stenosis: A Twist on Heyde Syndrome?

Heyde syndrome is a triad of aortic stenosis (AS), gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding from angiodysplasia, and acquired von Willebrand disease (vWD). It is hypothesized that stenotic aortic valves cleave von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers, predisposing patients to bleeding from GI angiodysplasias. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that aortic valve replacement often leads to the resolution of GI bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- A rare case of diprosopia, a condition with facial abnormalities, was observed in a blue shark embryo from the South Atlantic Ocean.
- The embryo had significant deformities, including two faces and a twisted spinal column, but most internal organs appeared normal upon microscopic analysis.
- This study marks the first documentation of internal organ morphology in a diprosopia specimen, suggesting that the embryo's survival may depend on its feeding ability and predator evasion skills post-birth.

Copper(II)-based complexes are promising candidates as anti-cancer agents due to their ability to target cancer cells. Here we describe the synthesis and characterization of two copper(II) thiosemicarbazone complexes with the ligands 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde N4-methylthiosemicarbazone (HL) and 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde N4-(4-(dimethylamino)phenylthiosemicarbazone (HL) and general formula [Cu(L)]. The complexes show stability in aqueous solution with 1 % of DMSO that allows to stablish its solution profile in biological buffers.

Objectives: To investigate the selection rules of acupoints for promoting gastrointestinal function recovery after colorectal cancer surgery using complex network technology.
Methods: Relevant literatures on acupuncture and moxibustion for promoting gastrointestinal function recovery after colorectal cancer surgery were searched from databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Chinese Journal Service Platform, and SinoMed from retrieved to May 9, 2023. Literatures were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a database of acupuncture and moxibustion for promoting gastrointestinal function recovery after intestinal cancer surgery was established.
