Background: Acute small bowel obstruction (aSBO) is the most common cause (76%) of acute intestinal obstruction. Laparoscopy use is still controversial in aSBO and indications not yet clearly defined. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of a laparoscopic approach in aSBO by using specific pre-operative criteria for appropriate patient selection.

During epidemic outbreaks, human behavior is highly influential on the disease transmission and hence affects the course, duration and outcome of the epidemics. In order to examine the feedback effect between the dynamics of the behavioral response and disease outbreak, a simple SIR- type model is established by introducing the independent variable of effective contact rate, characterizing how human behavior interacts with disease transmission dynamics and allowing for the feedback changing over time along the progress of epidemic and population's perception of risk. By a particle swarm optimization algorithm in the solution procedures and time series of COVID-19 data with different shapes of infection peaks, we show that the proposed model, together with such behavioral change mechanism, is capable of capturing the trend of the selected data and can give rise to oscillatory prevalence of different magnitude over time, revealing how different levels of behavioral response affect the waves of infection as well as the evolution of the disease.

All'Sims Center for Simulation in Healthcare, Hospital and University of Angers, Angers, France.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of a bootcamp for new residents in surgery, in terms of both knowledge and skills improvement and psychological support.
Design: Prospective inclusion of all the 59 new residents in surgery from 2018 to 2020. Analysis of their perception of the training and comparison of the bootcamp and control groups ( = 9, including the residents who could not attend the bootcamp) with respect to the results of their skills evaluations and surgical knowledge.
Training healthcare workers and untrained interpreters in remote collaboration amidst COVID-19.
PEC Innov
June 2025
School of Psychology, Université Laval, Québec, Canada.
Objective: In the context of the public health emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec in 2020, remote public service interpreting has become, within a few days, an essential practice for maintaining services to migrants and allophone refugees, a particularly vulnerable population. This study aimed to measure the impact of two training courses on remote collaboration for mediated consultations developed for healthcare workers and untrained interpreters.
Methods: A total of 79 healthcare workers and 65 untrained interpreters from the province of Quebec were recruited.
Delayed return of bowel function after general surgery in South Australia.

Discipline of Surgery, The University of Adelaide, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.
Introduction: Reference ranges for determining pathological versus normal postoperative return of bowel function are not well characterised for general surgery patients. This study aimed to characterise time to first postoperative passage of stool after general surgery; determine associations between clinical factors and delayed time to first postoperative stool; and evaluate the association between delay to first postoperative stool and prolonged length of hospital stay.
Methods: This study included consecutive admissions at two tertiary hospitals across a two-year period whom underwent a range of general surgery operations.
