Long-term Outcomes of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy as a Revisional Procedure Following Adjustable Gastric Banding: Variations in Outcomes Based on Indication
ConclusionRLSG provides long-term weight loss, although peri-operative complications are significantly elevated compared to PLSG. Longer-term re-operation rates are elevated compared to PLSG. Four variables predicted worse outcomes: eroded band, multiple prior bands, severe oesophageal dysmotility and elevated baseline weight.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Long-term efficacy of total versus posterior partial fundoplication in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis on symptomatic GORD appear to be in favour of partial posterior fundoplication (TF) as the optimal treatment. It provides equivalent outcomes in reflux symptom control with a lower risk of postoperative dysphagia compared with total fundoplication (NF).PMID:37843095 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2023.0046 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Characterising oesophageal motility disorders by high-resolution impedance manometry in dermatomyositis patients
CONCLUSIONS: Oesophageal involvement is frequent and should be evaluated in the comprehensive work-up of DM. We used for the first time HRiM in DM, which proved to be an accurate and objective technique in assessing oesophageal disease, even in the subclinical stage. Interestingly, the MDA5-positive group had a higher burden of HRiM pathological findings, suggesting a greater severity of oesophageal involvement, often asymptomatic.PMID:37812480 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/h4drr2 (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Reduction in abdominal symptoms (CFAbd-Score), faecal M2-pyruvate-kinase and Calprotectin over one year of treatment with Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor in people with CF aged ≥12 years – The RECOVER study
Already at birth, most infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (PI). Malabsorption, malnutrition and growth failure follow PI, particularly with advancing age and evolving CF lung disease. Intestinal epithelial dysfunction, particularly in the setting of PI, can be associated with inflammation, dysbiosis and dysmotility, partial or complete bowel obstruction either in infancy with meconium ileus (MI) or later in life with constipation or distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) [1].
