Impact of bariatric surgery on liver fibrosis indices among type 2 diabetes patients in a national cohort.

Obesity is related to liver fibrosis, a condition marked by the collection of scar tissue in the liver due to the development of a profibrotic environment, which includes increased hepatocellular death and elevated reactive oxygen species production. The aim of study is to evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery on the association between liver fibrosis indices and obesity. This is a retrospective cohort, evaluating 1205 individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and living with obesity, who experienced bariatric surgery.

The trend of atherogenic indices in patients with type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery: a national cohort study.

Background: Bariatric surgery has profound effects on weight loss, metabolic regulation, and gut hormone modulation, which make it an efficient tool for managing obesity and improving diabetes outcomes.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the atherogenic indices, including atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), atherogenic coefficient (AC), Castelli's risk index II (CRI-II), and lipoprotein combine index (LCI) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) living with excess weight, who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Setting: Three types of surgery including one-anastomosis gastric bypass/mini gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were performed on patients with obesity and T2D in the period of August 2009 to February 2021 at the Surgical Department of Hazrat-e Rasool Hospital (University Hospital), Tehran, Iran.

Weight Reduction Percentile Charts: 2-Year Follow-up Results of OAGB and RYGB Post Bariatric Surgery.

Purpose: Using a single percentile chart provides us with high standards for the evaluation and accurate investigation of sufficient weight loss after bariatric surgery, counseling, and treating patients in an evidence-based way. Creating percentile charts of weight loss for gastric bypass is the aim of this study.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was based on data from patients who underwent RYGB or OAGB from February 2008 to February 2020.

Presentation of portomesenteric thrombosis after one-anastomosis gastric bypass: Case report.

Introduction: Obesity is a serious situation that leads to non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and others. The prevalence of obesity is growing very fast worldwide, so follow the results bariatric surgery, the most effective treatment of obesity, is increasing. Portomesentric vein thrombosis (PMVT) is one of the rare, fatal post-bariatric complications seen most commonly in sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Determinants of Patient's Adherence to the Predefined Follow-up Visits After Bariatric Surgery.

Introduction: Multidisciplinary care after bariatric surgery is essential for long-term safety and optimal weight loss. However, many patients do not participate in routine postoperative follow-ups. We have explored the determinants of patients' adherence to scheduled follow-up visits after bariatric surgery.

Multi-stage analysis of expression patterns in colorectal cancer.

Aim: To explore biomarkers with a tumor stage-dependent expression pattern in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Background: The fourth most common cancer in the world is colorectal cancer (CRC). A variation in the gene expression rate is a common change in cancers initiation and the accumulation of these variation changes the behavior of normal cells and turns them into cancer cells.

A siRNA-based method for efficient silencing of PYROXD1 gene expression in the colon cancer cell line HCT116.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the biological function of pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase domain 1 (PYROXD1), a recently discovered protein, in colon cancer cell line HCT116.

Methods: The small interfering RNA (siRNA) was designed rationally on the basis of the target sequence against PYROXD1. Relative PYROXD1 mRNA levels were measured by a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.

The impact of provider payment reforms and associated care delivery models on cost and quality in cancer care: A systematic literature review.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of provider payment reforms and associated care delivery models on cost and quality in cancer care.

Methods: Data sources/study setting: Review of English-language literature published in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library (2007-2019). Study design: We performed a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the impact of cancer care reforms.

Clean approach to synthesis of graphene like CuFeO@polysaccharide resin nanohybrid: Bifunctional compound for dye adsorption and bacterial capturing.

Focus of this research is on employment of a green route to prepare magnetic CuFeO@polysaccharide resin for environmental remediation purpose. The method is including solvent free solid state synthesis of copper ferrite nanoparticles by combustion route using cellulose as fuel. Then polysaccharide resin as well as its magnetic composite was prepared by using glucose, citric acid and copper ferrite as solid raw materials.

Primary health care physicians' approach toward domestic violence in Tehran, Iran.

Background: Primary health care physicians (PHCPs) are the first in the clinic to detect and help victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). Therefore, their attitude and practice toward domestic violence (DV) are important to manage this problem. The aim of current study was to compare the behavior and attitude of PHCPs about DV versus other health risk factors in Tehran, Iran.

Deep brain stimulation and responsiveness of the Persian version of Parkinson's disease questionnaire with 39-items.

Background: Assessment of quality-of-life (QOF) as an outcome measure after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) need a valid, reliable and responsive instrument. The aim of the current study was to determine responsiveness of validated Persian version of PD questionnaire with 39-items (PDQ-39) after DBS surgery in patients with PD.

Methods: Eleven patients with PD, who were candidate for DBS operation between May 2012 and June 2013 were assessed.

Timing of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Incidence of Meniscal and Chondral Injury within the Knee.

Background: To review a single-surgeon series of 616 athletic patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions in order to evaluate the relationship between the timing of the reconstruction and the incidence of meniscal and chondral injuries.

Methods: SIX GROUP OF PATIENTS WERE CATEGORIZED BASED ON THE TIME INTERVAL FROM THEIR INJURY TO SURGERY IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: <3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, 9-18 months, 18-36 months, and >36 months. The presence of meniscal tears was documented and chondral pathology was scored based on the Outerbridge classification.

Determination of alpha-1 antitrypsin level in patients with severe asthma.

Background: This descriptive study aimed to determine the serum level of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in patients with severe asthma.

Materials And Methods: The serum level of AAT was determined in 43 patients with severe asthma. Pulmonary function tests were performed and data were analyzed by SPPS version 19 software.

Relationship between Serum Levels of Testosterone and the Severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between the levels of serum testosterone and the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Materials And Methods: Using GOLD criteria, 140 male patients with COPD were categorized into mild, moderate, severe and very severe COPD groups of 35 each. Then, serum levels of testosterone, prolactin and LH of patients were compared and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 18 software.
