Abstract The magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) device has been proven safe and effective in controlling typical reflux symptoms esophageal acid exposure for up to 6-year follow-up. Longer term outcomes have not reported yet. A prospectively maintained database was reviewed assess long-term safety efficacy of the laparoscopic MSA procedure at a single referral center. Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease-Health Related Quality Life (GERD-HRQL), use proton-pump inhibitors (PPI), were compared...
High-resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) disruption. While type 3 EGJ predicts definitive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), 2 is less clearly implicated in GERD pathogenesis. This study aimed to characterize physiologic findings determine if the HRM-based Milan Score can define within EGJ.
Lynch syndrome is the most common hereditary cancer predisposition, accounting for 1-5% of colorectal cases, and driven by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. Despite established diagnostic criteria, such as Amsterdam guidelines, remains largely underdiagnosed. To address this gap, universal tumour screening has been introduced all newly diagnosed cases endometrial cancer, significantly improving early detection. The surgical management patients with controversial. While...
Parastomal hernias (PSH) are a frequent complication following ostomy surgery, often requiring surgical intervention. Robotic surgery offers potential advantages in PSH repair, but evidence on its efficacy remains limited. This systematic review evaluates the outcomes of different robotic repair techniques. A search PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted (2015-2024) to identify studies repair. Fourteen (13 retrospective, two prospective) met inclusion criteria after screening...
Background/Objectives: The indirect impact of the pandemic on diagnosis and treatment new primary melanoma has been carefully evaluated in recent years. aim present study was to investigate if Italy could be detectable also second year pandemic, as suggested by characteristics at diagnosis. Methods: Retrospective analysis 1640 diagnoses cutaneous pre-pandemic period 1292 from 10 centers (from 1 March 2019 28 February 2022). Results: Our findings confirmed an incident melanoma, (Breslow...
Background: Hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, including familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Lynch syndrome (LS), and Peutz–Jeghers (PJS), are associated with an increased risk of small bowel (SBC). Due to the low incidence non-specific presentation SBC, effective surveillance strategies essential for early detection management. This review aims evaluate compare current endoscopic techniques in these patients. Methods: A comprehensive was conducted using peer-reviewed studies sourced...
A linear chain of connected electron sites with two asymmetric sinks, one attached to each end, is used as a simple model quantum transfer in photosynthetic bio-complexes. For symmetric initial population the middle chain, it expected that mainly directed towards strongest coupled sink. However, we show effects radically change this intuitive "classical" mechanism, so can occur through weaker sink maximal efficiency. Using capability, how design switch an left or right branch by changing...
Background: Safety and effectiveness of absorbable meshes for laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair are still debated. This may be due to patient selection, technique repair, type shape mesh, definition recurrent hernia, length follow-up. The aim this study was assess safety, short-term efficacy, quality life after hiatal reinforced with a biosynthetic mesh. Materials Methods: A single-center observational cohort conducted in patients large III-IV who underwent crural Phasix ST®, monofilament...
Abstract Background Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder that can cause transmural inflammation throughout the digestive tract. When CD affects colon, it known as colitis (CC), serious condition often requiring surgical resection. Surgical trends in CC have changed significantly over past decade, shifting towards minimally invasive surgery, with laparoscopic and robotic procedures becoming increasingly common. This study examines how recent years predicts they may...
BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic posed an unprecedented global threat to healthcare systems, causing delays in colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnoses. This study aims assess the impact of on presentation stages U.S.MethodsData from national database (2015-2020) were analyzed, categorizing patients into pre-COVID (2015-2019) and COVID (2020) groups for evaluation.ResultsIn group, with colon had a notably higher prevalence Clinical stage IV disease at diagnosis, accompanied by increased incidence...
Risk perception can be influenced by cultural background. The study aims to evaluate risk perception, considering different ethnicities of construction workers from vocational schools in Italy. We administered a questionnaire investigating four dimensions: Perceived behavioral control (PBC), Danger (DP), Safety climate (SC), and Attitude towards safe actions (ATSA). 562 answered: 72.4% Italy, 14.2% eastern Europe, 9.4% Balkans, 3.9% North Africa. participants indicated quite low control,...
