1 Characterization of the ,B-adrenoceptors mediating inhibition of gastric acid secretion in the conscious Heidenhain pouch dog has been investigated by determination of the effects of propranolol, (+)-propranolol, practolol and H35/25 on salbutamol and isoprenaline-induced inhibition of gastric acid secretion. 2 The gastric antisecretory effect of salbutamol was significantly blocked by propra...

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a bariatric procedure that is being performed with increasing frequency as an alternative management option for morbid obesity. Several common complications have been reported including gastric band slippage and associated pouch dilatation, intragastric erosion of the band, gastric wall perforation, and abscess formation. We present a case of ga...

BACKGROUND Currently, there is no consensus opinion regarding the optimal procedure of choice in super-super-morbid obesity (Body mass index, BMI > 60 kg/m²). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with failure to achieve or maintain 50% excess weight loss (EWL) or BMI < 35 in approximately 15% of patients. Also, percent EWL is significantly less after 1-year in the super-super-obese gro...

The age-adjusted prevalence of obesity in the United States was 30.5 percent in 1999-2000. Although obtaining a precise estimate of the change in the prevalence of obesity over time is difficult because of changing definitions, nearly all clinical authorities agree that obesity is reaching epidemic proportions. In response, pharmacological and surgical treatments for weight loss have become bot...

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is performed with increasing frequency for the management of morbid obesity. Although LAGB is less invasive than other bariatric surgical procedures, it is associated with various complications that may lead to nonspecific abdominal symptoms several months or years after the procedure. Because complications of LAGB may be encountered incidentally a...

After a total resection of the stomach, the continuity of the gastrointestinal tract can be restored either by Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy with or without a pouch. There is still no consensus on the best reconstruction technique. The aim of this report was to derive a more precise estimation of Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy with a pouch compared with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy without a po...

The output of acid from an innervated canine gastric pouch is directly proportional to the nitrogen content of meals entering the stomach (Saint-Hilaire, Lavers, Kennedy, and Code, 1960). The buffering power of meals also depends on their protein content. High protein meals thus stimulate much acid secretion by the gastric mucosa and also buffer the acid secreted. The acidity of the gastric con...
