IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF GASTRIC CANCER: A 3-YEAR ANALYSIS.
Arq Bras Cir Dig
January 2025
Universidade de São Paulo, Faculdade de Medicina, Hospital das Clínicas, Department of Gastroenterology - São Paulo (SP), Brazil.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has overloaded healthcare systems worldwide. Other diseases, such as neoplasms, including gastric cancer, remained prevalent and had their treatment compromised.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the treatment of gastric cancer and adherence to the recommended preoperative COVID-19 screening protocol.
Ultrasound Evaluation of Gastric Emptying and Comparison with Patient-Reported Risk Factors in Elective Surgical Patients.

: Despite standard preoperative fasting guidelines, residual gastric content can persist in some patients, increasing the risk of aspiration pneumonitis. Multiple patient-specific factors may predict gastric content retention, but their predictive accuracy is limited. We hypothesized that ultrasound would more reliably identify residual gastric content compared to a comprehensive questionnaire and aimed to determine the most practical approach for risk assessment in elective surgical patients.

Parasites impact wildlife populations and ecosystem health, thereby demanding regular monitoring. As part of the national conservation effort to preserve the free-ranging sirenians in Colombia, a parasitological survey was conducted between 2011 and 2023 on naturally deceased Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus). A total of 17 stranded carcasses were analysed for the occurrence of parasites.

Vet Parasitol Reg Stud Reports
January 2025
Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, PO Box 597, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Samples from 1,254 MacQueen's bustards (Chlamydotis macqueenii) were sent for parasitological examination to the department of parasitology of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory between 2003 and 2022. The birds originated from sanctuaries where confiscated birds were kept but also from from zoos and private collections or were bred in captivity and released to conservation areas where they got injured or died for various reasons. The material consisted of mainly of intestines and faecal samples as well as heads, stomachs, muscles samples and cysts, isolated helminths, ecto-parasites and fly larvae.

Division of Advanced Surgical Oncology, Research and Development Center for New Medical Frontiers, Kitasato University School of Medicine, Sagamihara, Japan.
Background: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with Billroth I (B-I) reconstruction is frequently performed for gastric cancer. However, the difference between the circular stapler technique (CS) and delta-shaped anastomosis (DA) remains unclear, especially regarding the postoperative endoscopic physiological findings.
Methods: Three hundred and one patients including 150 CS patients and 151 DA patients during LADG with B-I reconstruction between 2013 and 2019 at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center were chosen as study subjects.
