Background: Complications involving the gastrojejunostomy (GJ) after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for morbid obesity frequently result in hospital readmission and additional procedures. The purpose of this study was to compare the complication rate of GJ performed with the 21- and 25-mm circular staplers.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the incidence of stricture, bleeding, ulcer, and leak at the GJ in 438 consecutive patients who had undergone LRYGB.
The risk of mesothelioma from exposure to chrysotile asbestos.

Department of Medicine, University Medical Center at Princeton, Princeton, New Jersey, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review assesses the risk of developing diffuse malignant mesothelioma of the pleura from exposures to chrysotile fibers and contrasts it with the known risk of amphibole asbestos.
Recent Findings: Although a rare cancer, the mortality rates of pleural mesothelioma continue to be significantly elevated because of past occupational exposures to airborne asbestos fibers. New analyses of occupational epidemiologic studies for highly exposed workers show a substantially lower potency and suggest an empiric threshold for chrysotile compared with amphibole asbestos.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly held accountable for preventable medical errors, the attitudes toward safety, and communication among all levels of providers, collaborative practices, and recognition of risks. The concept of protection is inherent in nursing practice.

The treatment of a patient with a painful massive rotator cuff tear can be challenging. Massive tears exceed 5 cm in length and involve partial or complete tearing of three tendons. The arthroscopic approach provides a minimally invasive technique to evaluate the tear, mobilize and repair tendons, and improve symptoms without disruption of the deltoid.
