Background: During laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), many surgeons use an intraoperative sizing device. However, the choice of intraoperative sizing device varies and the optimal choice or combination of sizing devices, such as a bougie or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is an association between the use of a sizing device or a combination of sizing devices on rates of dehydration, bleeding, and staple line leak following LSG.
Materials And Methods: Patients between the ages of 18 to 80 who underwent elective LSG were identified using the American College of Surgeons Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (ACS-MBSAQIP) database from 2015 to 2019. Postoperative outcomes, including rates of dehydration, bleeding, and staple line leak, were compared across 4 groups: those that utilized bougie and EGD (both), those that utilized only bougie (bougie only), those that utilized only EGD (EGD only), and those that did not utilize either sizing device (neither).
Results: In all, 533,151 cases met the inclusion criteria. On univariate analysis, the bougie-only group experienced the highest rates of dehydration events. On multivariate analysis, the use of both sizing devices was associated with significantly lower odds of events related to dehydration versus bougie only (aOR 0.869, P =0.0002), and bougie only was associated with significantly higher odds of events related to dehydration versus EGD only (aOR 1.773, P =0.0006).The neither-sizing device group did not show any statistically significant differences in any of the comparisons.
Conclusions: Bougie use alone was associated with more dehydration-related complications, while EGD use demonstrated a protective effect. Not using a sizing device was associated with equivalent outcomes to all combinations of sizing devices. These findings highlight the need for the standardization of sizing devices during LSG and suggest that foregoing sizing devices may be a management option without early adverse sequelae.

This laboratory study aims to assess the effects of misaligning different trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) under varying spectral and corneal spherical aberration (SA) conditions. With an IOL metrology device under monochromatic and polychromatic conditions, the following models were studied: AT ELANA 841P, AT LISA Tri 839MP, FineVision HP POD F, Acrysof IQ PanOptix, and Tecnis Synergy ZFR00V. The SA was simulated using an aberration-free and average-SA cornea.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can utilize the residual photons from indoor light and continuously supplement the energy supply for low-power electron devices, thereby showing the great potential for sustainable energy ecosystems. However, the solution-processed perovskites suffer from serious defect stacking within crystal lattices, compromising the low-light efficiency and operational stability. In this study, we designed a multifunctional organometallic salt named sodium sulfanilate (4-ABS), containing both electron-donating amine and sulfonic acid groups to effectively passivate the positively-charged defects, like under-coordinated Pb ions and iodine vacancies.

: Accurate determination of the natural head position (NHP) is essential in orthognathic surgery for optimal surgical planning and improved patient outcomes. However, traditional methods encounter reproducibility issues and rely on external devices or patient cooperation, potentially leading to inaccuracies in the surgical plan. : To address these limitations, we developed a geometric deep learning network (NHP-Net) to automatically reproduce NHP from CT scans.

Background: The sacroiliac joints (SIJ) are specialized articulations in the pelvis that allow load transfer between the upper and lower body. Traumatic pelvic disruption often requires surgical fixation of at least one of these joints. Subsequent SIJ pain is associated with asymmetries in joint laxity or stiffness.
