Methods Data were collected from 30 European centres 2000 2010. Patients who received compared underwent primary surgery regard postoperative morbidity, mortality, and overall disease-free survival. Propensity score matching used adjust differences in baseline characteristics....
Nowadays, sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) has become a cornerstone in treating morbid obesity, condition that turned into one of the most important health concerns worldwide. Nonetheless, gallbladder (GB) disease remains frequently seen problem after weight loss.

Context and Aim: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) have emerged as ideal candidates for advanced therapies of various therapeutically-challenging diseases; however, their regenerative potential in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) has not been well determined. In this study, we reviewed our clinical experience mitigating chronic ulcer complications through a conventional treatment autologous adipose-derived MSCs embedded PRF with pure injections. Materials Methods: The...
Background: Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) has rarely been described in the presence of benign, non-life-threatening conditions such as gastric emphysema and dilatation. In cases, management patient prognosis have evolved to become highly dependent on etiology. Nevertheless, although can be benign conservative applied, close monitoring patient’s status is necessary avoid any complication like necrosis. Case Presentation: We report a case acute dilatation with HPVG closed loop small bowel...
