Background: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), also known as disorders of gut-brain interaction, occur not only in the elderly but also in young adults. This study aimed to evaluate the association between mental health conditions and FGIDs among Vietnamese new-entry medical students.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in February 2022 among new-entry medical students in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A printed questionnaire was distributed to all students on the day of freshmen health screening. Their urine samples were collected to screen for Helicobacter pylori infection using rapid urinary test. FGIDs were diagnosed using ROME IV criteria. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was defined as the presence of typical reflux symptoms at least twice a week. Mental health conditions, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), were identified using Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scales, respectively.
Results: Among 400 new-entry medical students who participated in the study, the overall prevalence of FGIDs was 10.3% (functional dyspepsia 6.5%, irritable bowel disease 5.5%). The overlap syndrome (OS) of GERD-FGIDs or different FGIDs was present in 3.0% of participants. The prevalences of GAD and MDD were 6.8% and 10.2%, respectively. The urinary test was positive in 180 (45.0%) participants. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, MDD was significantly associated with not only the risk of FGIDs (OR = 5.599, 95%CI: 2.173-14.430, p<0.001) but also the risk of OS (OR = 10.076, 95CI%: 2.243-45.266, p = 0.003).
Conclusions: MDD is associated with FGIDs and OS among new-entry medical students.

Midterm Results of Fenestrated Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
June 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Fukushima Medical University, Fukushima, Japan.
Background: There is limited experience and knowledge of the use of the fenestrated frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study's aims were to assess the clinical outcomes of the fenestrated FET technique for ATAAD and to identify its best practices and pitfalls.
Methods: This study included 101 patients who underwent emergency surgical aortic repair for ATAAD at our hospital between October 2018 and April 2023.

Background: The optimal treatment of complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) involving arch anomalies remain unclear.
Methods: We consecutively enrolled patients with cTBAD involving arch anomalies who underwent endovascular repair using a single-branched stent graft (SBSG) at our medical center between January 2020 and January 2023. The demographics, clinical manifestation, operation detail, and follow-up outcomes of these patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) using the GORE TAG and conformable GORE TAG grafts in a real-world setting, focusing on 10-year survival rates and freedom from aorta-related deaths.
- Out of 331 patients treated from 2011 to 2021, 175 were analyzed, showing a mean follow-up of 46.5 months, with 30-day mortality at 2.86% and decreasing survival rates over 10 years: 42.4% overall survival and 95% freedom from aorta-related deaths at 9 years.
- Complications included a 13.1% rate

A 61-year-old female underwent ascending aortic replacement (resecting the primary entry in the ascending aorta) for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection 1 year and 8 months before. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on 17 days later. Follow-up recent computed tomography (CT) scans, however, revealed dissecting aortic aneurysm of the distal aortic arch due to a new entry at the distal anastomosis of the ascending replacement.

Article Synopsis
- A 46-year-old man experienced an acute type A aortic dissection and received a total arch replacement using the frozen elephant trunk procedure.
- Two months post-surgery, he developed back pain and was found to have a complication called distal stent graft-induced new entry (dSINE) via a CT scan.
- Investigating this issue using computational fluid dynamics revealed that increased wall shear stress at the true lumen, rather than the FET site, might have contributed to the dSINE occurrence.
