BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGBP) is one of the most common bariatric surgeries, which is being performed using various techniques like gastrojejunostomy by hand swen, linear or circular stapler. Abdominal pain is a common complaint following laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure (LGBP), which has different aetiologies, such as overeating, adhesion, internal herniation, bile r...

On single sample condition, current face recognition algorithm yields serious performance drop or even fail to work, therefore a face recognition algorithm based on LGBP and locality preserving discriminant analysis (LPDA) was proposed. Image enhancement and geometric transformation were firstly introduced to single sample face image for face reconstruction, making reconstruct image and origina...

Background and Objectives Morbidity and mortality have been shown to increase several-fold in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and returned to the operating room after their initial procedures. Failure-to-rescue (FTR) analyses allow for an understanding of patient management and outcomes that is more distinguished than assessments of adverse occurrences and mortality rates alone. T...

Facial Expression Recognition is one of the active research area in the field of Human Machine Interaction (HMI) because of its several applications such as human emotion analysis, stress level and lie detection. In this paper, an algorithm for facial expression recognition has been proposed which integrate the Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Gabor filter and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Th...

conclusions administration of gabapentin before surgery can reduce pain after lgbp. furthermore, it is not accompanied by significant short-term adverse effects. results the mean pain score in the group receiving gabapentin was significantly lower than the placebo group (p < 0.001). indications and dose of opioid consumption between the two groups were not statistically significant. incidence o...

Local binary pattern (LBP) is an effective texture descriptor which has successful applications in texture classification and face recognition. Many extensions are made for conventional LBP descriptors. One of the extensions is dominant local binary patterns which aim at extracting the dominant local structures in texture images. The second extension is representing LBP descriptors in Gabor tra...

BACKGROUND Crassostrea gigas accumulates paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) associated with red tide species as Gymnodinium catenatum. Previous studies demonstrated bivalves show variable feeding responses to toxic algae at physiological level; recently, only one study has reported biochemical changes in the transcript level of the genes involved in C. gigas stress response. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...

The makeup of a new surgical bariatric team may be associated with a higher number of postoperative complications due to the learning curve. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes during the learning curve of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGBP) depending on surgeons' training. A systematic approach was used to review studies from the Pubmed, Embase (Ovid), Cancer Lit, Biomes Central ...

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are two bariatric procedures approved for the management of morbidly obese patients. According to a meta-analysis of all obese patients who underwent bariatric procedures, 11% also had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) before surgery, and improvement or resolution of this co-morbidity was highlighted in many ...

INTRODUCTION There are only few reports regarding the use of intragastric-balloons (IGB®) to achieve weight loss and subsequently decrease surgical complications. In this study, we try to assess whether presurgery weight loss using IGB decreases the postsurgical mortality after bariatric surgery. METHODS This is a prospective case-control study. We matched 1:1 by gender, age (± 10 y-o) and ty...
