Randomized, open-label trial conducted at outpatient obesity clinic in a university hospital Rome, Italy. The primary aim was reactive (<3.1 mmol/L 75-g oral glucose load) 1 year surgery. Secondary aims were under everyday life conditions, insulin sensitivity, secretion, and lipid profile. Of 175 eligible patients, 120 randomized 1:1 to RYGB or SG; 117 (93%) completed 12-month...
Robotic assisted surgery is the most rapidly developing field of minimally invasive surgery. Its wide diffusion has led to development and standardization robotic-assisted approaches also for adrenalectomy. In this study, we present first five lateral transabdominal adrenalectomies performed with new Hugo RAS™ system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). After an official training course surgical team, consecutive patients scheduled unilateral adrenalectomy, underwent operations in our...

The intramuscular ATP-dependent ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome proteolytic system is hyperactivated in experimental cancer cachexia. present study aimed at verifying whether the expression of muscle Ub mRNA altered patients with cancer. Total RNA was extracted using guanidinium isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method from rectus abdominis biopsies obtained intraoperatively 20 gastric (GC) and 10 subjects benign abdominal diseases (CON) undergoing surgery. levels were measured by northern blot...
