Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly improved healthcare. Once stuff of science fiction, AI is now widely used, even in our daily lives — often without us thinking about it. All healthcare professionals especially executives and medical doctors need to understand capabilities advanced tools other breakthrough innovations. This understanding will allow them recognize opportunities threats emerging technologies can bring their organizations. We hope...
Background: We are currently experiencing a third digital revolution driven by artificial intelligence (AI), and the emergence of new chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) represents significant technological advancement with profound implications for global society, especially in field education. Methods: The aim this study was to see how well ChatGPT performed on medical school exams highlight it might change education practice. Recently, OpenAI's (OpenAI, San Francisco; GPT-4...
Impaired thermogenesis can promote obesity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether expression thermogenesis-related genes is altered in adipose tissues obese individuals and excessive methylation their promoters involved phenomenon. The encoding β adrenergic receptors (ADRBs), thyroid hormone (THRs), 5’-iodothyronine deiodinases (DIOs), uncoupling proteins (UCPs) measured by real-time PCR visceral subcutaneous 58 (BMI >40 kg/m2) 50 slim 20-24.9 individuals. status these...
Both obesity and weight loss may cause molecular changes in adipose tissue. This study aimed to characterize tissue miRNome order identify pathways affected by changes. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was applied microRNAs (miRNAs) differentially expressed 47 samples of visceral (VAT) subcutaneous (SAT) tissues from normal-weight (N), obese (O) after surgery-induced (PO) individuals. Subsequently miRNA expression validated real-time PCR 197 bioinformatics analysis performed obesity-related...
Excess adiposity is associated with chronic inflammation, which takes part in the development of obesity-related complications. The aim this study was to establish whether subcutaneous (SAT) or visceral (VAT) adipose tissue plays a major role synthesis pro-inflammatory cytokines. Concentrations interleukins (IL): 1β, 6, 8 and 15 were measured at protein level by an ELISA-based method on mRNA real-time PCR VAT SAT samples obtained from 49 obese (BMI > 40 kg/m2) 16 normal-weight 20–24.9...
The interplay between adiponectin and resistin, the two adipokines of opposite effects, may determine metabolic profile obese individuals development obesity-related complications. current study was conducted to assess how adiponectin/resistin in sera adipose tissues influence normal-weight subjects.Concentrations resistin were measured on protein level by immunoassay visceral subcutaneous from 50 (body mass index > 40 kg/m2) 28 20-24.9 individuals. Simultaneously expression ADIPOQ RETN...
The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Chapter of the Association Polish Surgeons (Polish acronym: SCMiB TCHP) is a specialist scientific society representing bariatric surgeons as well specialists from other disciplines professions cooperating with them during provision services in field metabolic surgery, entire care process before after surgery. following standards constitute minimum requirements set by TCHP for good practice basic throughout its period, which ensure satisfactory safety...
Abstract Anesthesia for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and perioperative management remains a challenge. Several clinical studies indicate that opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) may be beneficial, but there is no consensus on the most optimal technique in practice. The aim of our study was to assess potential benefits risks intraoperative OFA compared multimodal analgesia (MMA) with remifentanil infusion. In prospective, randomized study, we analyzed 59 patients’ data. Primary outcome measures...
Background. Brain death is associated with hemodynamic disturbances in systemic circulation and metabolic storm, and, thus, free radical-mediated injury to donor tissues was hypothesized. An assessment of oxidative stress the its effect on posttransplant kidney graft function comprised scope study. Methods. A prospective study performed 27 donors 50 transplant recipients. Sera from brain-dead organ preservation media were tested for malondialdehyde (MDA) total antioxidant status (TAS)....
The increasing prevalence of bariatric surgery has resulted in a rise the number redo procedures as well. While demonstrated its effectiveness, there is still subset patients who may not derive any benefits from it. This poses significant challenge for surgeons, especially when lack clear guidelines. primary objective this study to evaluate outcomes underwent Re-Redo surgery. We conducted retrospective cohort on group 799 between 2010 and 2020. Among these patients, 20 individuals second...
The incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs), particularly candidiasis and aspergillosis, following solid organ transplantation vary from 1.4% to 42%. IFIs most commonly occur after orthotropic liver (OLT), lung/heart pancreas transplantation. Mortality related depends on the type transplant 3% 100% cases. results largely depend early initiation specific treatment for IFIs. Therefore, diagnosis has be prompt based known risk factors - time surgical procedure, biliary anastomosis, blood...
Background: Given the role that vitamin D (VD) plays in regulation of inflammatory activity adipocytes, we aimed to assess whether obesity changes expression VD-related genes adipose tissue and, if so, investigate this phenomenon depends on microRNA interference and how it may influence local milieu. Methods: The encoding VD 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1), 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1) receptor (VDR), selected interleukins microRNAs was evaluated by real-time PCR visceral (VAT) subcutaneous (SAT)...
Background: Obesity contributes to left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and may lead heart failure. Weight loss (WL) after bariatric surgery (BS) influence LV morphology function. Using echocardiography, this study assessed the effect of WL on function (LVDF) atrium (LA) 6 months BS in young women with morbid obesity. Methods: Echocardiography was performed 60 body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m², aged 37.1 ± 9.6 years prior BS. In 38 patients, well-controlled arterial hypertension...
We present a 49-year-old female suffering from primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), with history of congenital heart disease (CHD), who was evaluated before liver transplantation (LTx) due to cirrhosis.The score on the MELD (Model for End-stage Liver Disease) scale 9 and Child-Pugh B7.On physical examination loud systolic murmur over at Erb's point found (5/6 Levin's scale).Symptoms overt failure arrhytmias were
