Examination of Analytical Method for Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate and Bis(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate to Revise the Official Methods Based on "Act on the Control of Household Products Containing Harmful Substances"
In this study, the validity of the developed test method is evaluated at six laboratories using two types of textile samples spiked with TDBPP and BDBPP at three concentrations (4, 8, and 20 µg/g). TDBPP and BDBPP are extracted under reflux using methanol containing hydrochloric acid. TDBPP is analyzed using GC-MS, and BDBPP is also analyzed using GC-MS after methylation with trimethylsilyl diazomethane. Although the accuracy (70-120%), repeatability (<10%), and reproducibility (<15%) of a few samples, mainly low concentration samples, are out of range, overall, the concentration level of detection limits of TDBPP a...

Fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient after bariatric surgery using a facially driven fully digital workflow: A clinical report with a 3-year follow-up
Patients who have received bariatric surgery have specific and complex dental needs. After surgery, nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, gastroesophageal reflux, and changes to the oral cavity may be seen, and erosion, caries, wear, xerostomia, hypersensitivity, and changes to the salivary buffering capacity may occur. In addition, patients are advised to ingest smaller, more frequent, meals throughout the day, and the oral condition may decline rapidly after surgery. Without oversight, this accelerated decline may even necessitate complete mouth rehabilitation postoperatively. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance on monitoring and management of Barrett's oesophagus and stage I oesophageal adenocarcinoma
Gut. 2024 Mar 29:gutjnl-2023-331557. doi: 10.1136/gutjnl-2023-331557. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBarrett's oesophagus is the only known precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, a cancer with very poor prognosis. The main risk factors for Barrett's oesophagus are a history of gastro-oesophageal acid reflux symptoms and obesity. Men, smokers and those with a family history are also at increased risk. Progression from Barrett's oesophagus to cancer occurs via an intermediate stage, known as dysplasia. However, dysplasia and early cancer usually develop without any clinical signs, often in individuals whose symptoms are wel...

Mesh vs. non-mesh repair of type I hiatal hernias: a propensity-score matching analysis of 6533 patients from the Herniamed registry
ConclusionsOur data demonstrate that mesh-reinforced laparoscopic type I hiatal hernia repair in larger defects is associated with significantly lower rates for recurrence, pain on exertion and pain requiring treatment. (Source: Hernia)

Does crural repair with biosynthetic mesh improve outcomes of revisional surgery for recurrent hiatal hernia?
ConclusionsLaparoscopic revisional surgery for recurrent HH is safe and effective. Selective use of biosynthetic mesh may protect from early recurrence and has the potential to reduce re-herniation in the long-term. (Source: Hernia)

Current Status of Anti-Reflux Surgery as a Treatment for GERD
Medicina (Kaunas). 2024 Mar 21;60(3):518. doi: 10.3390/medicina60030518.ABSTRACTAnti-reflux surgery (ARS) is an efficient treatment option for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Despite growing evidence of the efficacy and safety of ARS, medications including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) remain the most commonly administered treatments for GERD. Meanwhile, ARS can be an effective treatment option for patients who need medications continuously or for those who are refractory to PPI treatment, if proper candidates are selected. However, in practice, ARS is often regarded as a last resort for patients who are unresponsi...
