Objective(s) Air pouch is a well-established inflammatory model in which fluid extravasations; leukocyte migration, angiogenesis and other parameters involved in the inflammatory response can be measured. In this study, the influence of gender on inflammatory parameters has been examined in the air pouch model. Materials and Methods To induce air pouch, adult male and female Wistar rats were...

4. Acuff TE. Thoracoscopic excision of bronchiogenic cyst. Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1993; 55: 196-200. lined by ciliated columnar, stratified squamous or rarely gastric epithelium. Most contain a clear jelly like fluid. These cysts are extramural and share the common muscular wall of the oesophagus [2]. The oesophageal duplication cysts are commonly asymptomatic. If gastric mucosa persists it...

Revisionary bariatric surgery procedures are becoming more frequent. Facing the challenge of complicated digestive tract changes after redo surgery, it is crucial to choose an appropriate method. Duodeno-ileal omega switch (DIOS), with growing clinical value as an easy malabsorptive procedure, has emerged as a treatment option. We would like to present a case of a 52-year-old obese male patient...

With the rapid development of the knowledge and techniques in bariatric surgery, as well as extensive expansion of indications for metabolic operations, surgeons have started to realize that the procedures they choose are not always suited to the needs and behavior of patients. Second and very frequently third revisional procedures are thus necessary in order to achieve desired outcomes and ful...

Most of t.he investigators who have concerned themselves with the mechanism of formation of gastric hydrochloric acid have attacked the problem by attempting to devise a physicochemical system which is capable of producing this acid in vitro and in the initial absence of any strong acid. Such a system, however, in order to be applicable in the construction of a cell model, must account quantita...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastric bypass is gold-standard for morbid obesity treatment. AIM To describe the results of robotic gastric bypass for morbid obesity patients. METHOD Were operated on 100 morbidly obese patients through totally robotic gastric bypass between 2013 and 2014. They were 83% female. The age ranged from 20 to 65 years old (medium 48,5 years); the body mass index varied b...

Gastric bypass surgery (GBP) for obesity, by constructing an isolated 30-ml proximal gastric pouch connected to a 75-cm limb of proximal jejunum, bypassing >90% of the stomach, the pylorus, and the duodenum, cures type 2 diabetes in >80% of cases. We review alterations in gastrointestinal peptide release after GBP that affect glucose disposal. We focus on ghrelin and the incretins glucosedepend...
