One of the major challenges cocaine addiction is high rate relapse to drug use after periods withdrawal. During first few weeks withdrawal, cue-induced craving intensifies, or “incubates,” and persists over extended time. Although several brain regions molecular mechanisms were found be involved in this process, underlying epigenetic are still unknown. Herein, we used a rat model incubation craving, which rats trained self-administer (0.75 mg/kg, 6 h/d, 10 d), cocaine-seeking was examined an...
Abstract Obesity has become one of the most significant health problems worldwide, affecting more than one-third global population. The elderly population is not immune to this proportional increase in obesity. To date, there no cure for obesity, but surgery effective treatment available today. We analyzed results bariatric patients a period 3 years. Patients 65 years old and older were included study, 451 adults included. mean age study group was 67.92 (min. 65, max. 84). body mass index...
Objective To determine the impact of sleeve gastrectomy in patients suffering from depression compared with those who are not a depressive state. Introduction Obesity is considered global epidemic. Often obesity suffer Depressive disorders may be both cause and consequence obesity. Material methods The study includes 300 consecutives that underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy. Out patients, 253 (84.33%) them completed follow up for three years. Results 300-patients, average age 41.65±11.05...
Hip fractures increase the risks of mortality and major morbidity in elderly. are associated with chronic pain, reduced mobility, disability increasing dependence. We evaluated direct costs incurred to Israeli healthcare system 2013 as a result hip fracture injuries elderly patients.Hip evaluation consisted first-year long-term costs. Data on incidence resulting hospitalizations were retrieved from Ministry Health's (MOH) Central Database Hospital Admissions. Hospitalization, rehabilitation...
To determine the factors that influence bleeding during course of bariatric surgeries.Bariatric surgery is safe with a low percentage complications compared other abdominal surgeries. Bleeding one most common in for obesity has risk being catastrophic.The study includes 8,544 cases underwent from January 2013 to March 2016 retrospectively, 4 private institutions. Multiple demographic data were collected: patient characteristics, diseases, medications, type, operative technique, devices,...
Hernia through the obturator canal is usually unsuspected and hence undiagnosed. Patients with hernias present as acute cases of intestinal obstruction secondary to strangulation or incarceration, high rate morbidity mortality due delayed diagnosis treatment. The know incidence hernia low, representing 0.073% (11 15,098) all repaired at Mayo Clinic in a retrospective study 15 years. In this study, we conducted analysis laparoscopic extraperitoneal repairs that were performed between years...
Substance use disorder, and particularly cocaine is a complex disease that affects societal, economic, psychological factors. Endogenous β-endorphin released after prolonged withdrawal has been reported to activate the accumbal delta-opioid receptor (DOR), leading attenuated seeking. However, using DOR activation treat disorder impractical since does not cross blood-brain barrier. Also, only of sub-group DOR1 efficiently attenuates craving, as DOR2 yields an opposite effect. Here, we...
Retained surgical sponge or other items in patients' bodies happens more frequently than is reported. Healthcare personnel can forget to remove textile material instruments during complicated, extended, emergency surgery. In addition, changes the operating team influence occurrence of such errors.We present a case with symptomatic gossypiboma nine years after previous cesarean section. A 34-year-old woman was admitted room having experienced abdominal pain and fever for month. An computed...
Abstract Background We aim to analyze the characteristics of incidences missing surgical items (MSIs) and examine changes in MSI events following implementation an prevention program. Methods All cases registered our medical center from January 2014 December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among 559,910 operations, 154 reported. Mean patient age was 48.67 years (standard deviation, 20.88), 56.6% female. The rate MSIs 0.259/1000 cases. Seventy-seven (53.10%) had no consequences,...
In a private medical center, 300 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) were classified into 4 groups according to their eating behaviors (EB) preoperatively. During 3-year postoperative follow-up, dietary changes in relation weight loss studied.To explore the influence of abnormal EB on outcome gastrectomy.Patients with morbid obesity often suffer from EB. After LSG, depends largely improvement feeding acquired.This prospective study includes LSG 2013 2014, divided...
Abstract Background Active participation of patients in managing their medical treatment is a major component the patient empowerment process and may contribute to better clinical outcomes. Patient perceptions preferences affect patient–physician encounter variety dimensions, such as autonomy, freedom choice trust healthcare system. The Israeli system mostly publicly funded, with additional private services for surgery other treatments. aim this study was compare public hospitals Israel....

Binge eating (BE) and drug seeking share similar behavioral features, including loss of control over consumption compulsive the craved substance. Previous studies in animal models have demonstrated a complex interaction between 'state' BE, produced by intermittent access to palatable diet, 'trait' phenotypical proneness towards overeating. In present study, we examined relationship state trait BE cocaine seeking. We used Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty rats, genetic model for obesity that...
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with depression and anxiety, the latter being one of major factors in substance-seeking relapse. Due to dose-dependent sedative side effects there is limited efficacy baclofen treatment for SUDs. Here we suggest a novel combination opipramol (O/B) which known attenuate anxiety depression, facilitation recovery from Since both have common downstream signal transduction, their individual doses could be reduced while still maintaining benefits...
Abstract Background The Israeli National Health Insurance Law provides permanent residents with a basket of healthcare services through non-profit public health insurance plans, independently the individual’s ability to pay. Since 2015, several reforms and programs have been initiated that were aimed at reinforcing redressing negative aspects system, specifically constant rise in private expenditure. These include “From Reimbursement-to-Networks Arrangement”, “Cooling-off Period” program...
Trust is an essential element in patient-physician relationships, yet trust perceived differently among providers and customers exist. During January-February 2020 we examined the standpoints of medical managers administrative directors from private public health hospitals on trust, using a structured questionnaire. Thirty-six (24 sector 12 sector) responded to survey. Managers rated higher comparison sector, including related patient satisfaction, professionalism accountability. gave scores...
Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), of the Rho small GTPase family, is a key regulator actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and plays an important role in dendritic morphogenesis. Cocaine produces neuronal alterations, including structural changes number morphology. Emerging data indicate sigma-1 receptors (σ-1Rs) as promising candidate for prevention cocaine craving. Opipramol σ-1R agonist approved some European countries depression anxiety. Here we report that opipramol,...
