After resection of the stomach the alkaline reflux of the duodenal contents into the residual stomach is a major factor to be taken into consideration when assessing the causes leading to irregularities of the mucosal barrier. Illnesses that may arise subsequent to gastric surgery are gastritis of the resected stomach, inflammation of the anastomosis, anastomotic ulcers and--with reservations--anastomotic carcinoma. In view of these clinical pictures, a protective function for the biliary system is ascribed to Braun's entero-anastomosis. With the aid of hepatobiliary sequence scintigraphy (HBSS) a functional analysis was obtained from 30 patients, subsequent to gastric surgery--after Billroth II with entero-anastomosis--which showed a surprisingly high rate of reflux into the residual stomach, in 16 out of these 30 patients. The high-grade HBSS data with regard to the biliary reflux proportions after gastric surgery and the low-grade effectiveness of Braun's entero-anastomosis are clearly evidenced.

Preventive clipping versus coiling in unruptured intracranial aneurysms: A comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review to explore safety and efficacy.
Neurol Sci
January 2025
Department of Geriatrics and Neurology, Diakonie Hospital Jung Stilling, Siegen, Germany.
Background: Surgical clipping and endovascular coiling are both effective in preventing aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the choice between these interventions remains controversial, leading to treatment disparities across medical centers.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including relevant two-arm clinical trials up to September 2023, sourced from Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Our primary outcomes were complete occlusion rates during mid-term and long-term follow-ups.
Performance of spondyloarthritis-specific health utilities based on ASAS Health Index: an ancillary analysis from ASAS-HI validation study.
Rheumatology (Oxford)
January 2025
Department of Rheumatology, Rheumazentrum Ruhrgebiet, Herne, Germany.
Objectives: To compare the utility values of Spondyloarthritis (SpA)-specific ASAS Health Index (U-ASAS-HI) to generic utilities and to understand the contribution of health outcomes, personal- and country-level factors to the U-ASAS-HI.
Methods: Ancillary analysis of the ASAS-HI international validation study. SpA patients who completed the ASAS-HI, 5-level EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D-5L) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaires were selected, and utilities calculated.
Evaluating and Comparing the Content Coverage of Quality Measure Sets from Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
J Gen Intern Med
January 2025
Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Hadassah Medical Organization, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel.
Background: Quality of care can be measured in several dimensions: different clinical disciplines, structures/processes/outcomes of care (SPO), and also different domains of quality (effectiveness, safety, care coordination, patient-centeredness, efficiency, timeliness, and community/population health). To our knowledge, no previous study has compared different sets of performance measures in terms of how well they cover these different aspects of quality.
Objective: Compare the content coverage of major quality measure sets from Israel, the US, and the UK.
Contrastive learning with transformer for adverse endpoint prediction in patients on DAPT post-coronary stent implantation.
Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, United States.
Background: Effective management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is crucial for preventing adverse events. Traditional prognostic tools, such as rule-based methods or Cox regression, despite their widespread use and ease, tend to yield moderate predictive accuracy within predetermined timeframes. This study introduces a new contrastive learning-based approach to enhance prediction efficacy over multiple time intervals.

Ther Adv Neurol Disord
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Jena University Hospital, Am Klinikum 1, Jena 07747, Germany.
Background: Complete vaccination coverage is recommended by multiple sclerosis (MS) societies for patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) to mitigate infection risks associated with disease-modifying therapies (DMTs).
Objectives: To analyze vaccination coverage and its determinants in pwMS compared to healthy controls, considering vaccination hesitancy, MS-specific vaccination beliefs, trust in information sources, and the role of general practitioners (GPs).
Methods: This cross-sectional multicenter observational study was conducted in six German MS centers.
