Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Patients with Heart Failure and Left Ventricular Assist Devices as a Bridge to Transplant
Obesity is an epidemic that is progressive, costly, and closely associated with cardiac disease and death. Obesity causes structural and functional changes in the heart due to increases in metabolic demand, total blood volume, and stroke volume, all of which cause left ventricular dilation, cardiac muscle hypertrophy, and atrial enlargement [1,2]. Heart failure is a deadly condition, affecting up to 5.8 million people in the United States with associated health care costs exceeding 30 billion dollars per year [3,4].

Brain infarction following elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with sickle cell disease and previously undetected Moyamoya syndrome
Conclusion Early onset of MoyaMoya syndrome related stroke postoperatively after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is difficult to be assessed immediately. Acute stroke is an infrequent disease of pediatric age group patients. MoyaMoya is a rare cerebrovascular disease of unknown etiology. Our patient is 7 year-old male child who presented immediately postoperatively with abnormal movement of right upper and lower limbs and right upper limb weakness, and no history of MoyaMoya syndrome, which is rare, but important cause of stroke in children. Cerebral revascularization surgery leads to favorable outcome. The present case highl...

EVAR for aortic abdominal aneurysms: A 20-year's experience of 1900  patients.
[EVAR for aortic abdominal aneurysms: A 20-year's experience of 1900 patients]. Presse Med. 2018 Mar 11;: Authors: Desgranges P, Kobeiter H, Cochennec F, Tacher V, Touma J, Majewski M, Marzelle J, Allaire É, Becquemin JP Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), also called "silent killer" as they grow without symptoms until the final rupture, are the 3rd cause of cardiovascular deaths, after myocardial infarction and stroke. Surgery is the only efficient way of preventing aortic rupture. The initial technique, described by Charles Dubost in 1952 has evolved and results and provides fair long-term ...

Positive end-expiratory pressure-induced increase in external jugular venous pressure does not predict fluid responsiveness in laparoscopic prostatectomy
ConclusionOur study results suggested that SVV and increase in EJVP after applying PEEP were not accurate predictors of fluid responsiveness during RALP. Further studies are required to find an adequate preload index in robot-assisted urologic surgery with steep Trendelenburg position.

Does pneumoperitoneum affect perfusion index and pleth variability index in patients receiving combined epidural and general anesthesia?
Authors: Wajima Z, Shiga T, Imanaga K Abstract Plethysmographic variability index (PVI) is a dynamic index used for the purpose of fluid responsiveness in patients, and the effect of pneumoperitoneum on PVI is still unclear. We therefore attempted to determine whether PVI and perfusion index (PI) change before/after pneumoperitoneum in patients receiving combined epidural and general anesthesia, which is a common anesthesia method with intravenous remifentanil. Twenty patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy or colectomy. Immediately before pneumoperitoneum, variables were measured at baseline I and were the...

Goal-directed Fluid Therapy Does Not Reduce Primary Postoperative Ileus after Elective Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions Intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy compared with fluid therapy based on traditional principles does not reduce primary postoperative ileus in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery in the context of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program. Its previously demonstrated benefits might have been offset by advancements in perioperative care.

My debilitating endometriosis symptoms – Kate ’ s story
Hi, I’m Kate, 39, married with no children. I had always suffered from heavy and painful periods but this had mostly been managed by taking the combined pill. My periods remained heavy and I suffered from some flooding but this was manageable with planning! Approximately 7 years ago my periods became worse and I started to experience more symptoms such as regular and frequent abdominal pain, random bleeding, bloating, very painful intercourse and things just didn’t feel right. Anyway, I went to the Dr’s who straight away suggested that it sounded like I had endometriosis and referred me to a consultant. A...

Role of Endoscopic Gastroplasty Techniques in the Management of Obesity.
Authors: Jung Y Abstract Health and wellness represent a major global concern. Trends such as a lack of exercise and excessive consumption of calories are major causes of the rapid increase in obesity worldwide. Obesity should be controlled because it can result in other illnesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, stroke, breathing disorders, or cancer. However, many people have difficulty in managing obesity through exercise, dietary control, behavioral modifications, and drug therapy. Bariatric surgery is not commonly used due to a variety of complications, even th...
