OBJECTIVE
In the recent years, the mortality rates attributed to pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) have decreased substantially on account of advancements in antibiotics and surgical techniques. It is thus important to better understand the risks associated with the increased number of survivors. This
BACKGROUND
The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is a new, device-based endoscopic treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity.
OBJECTIVE
To report serious safety events of subjects treated with the DJBL while offering a simple guideline to mitigate risk.
METHODS
Single-center
BACKGROUND
The World Health Organization has identified the rapidly growing prevalence of obesity as one of today's serious health problems. Various surgical interventions categorized collectively as bariatric surgery now play an ever-increasing important role as the only known effective treatment
BACKGROUND
The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is an endoscopic device that mimics the duodenal-jejunal exclusion component of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Previous studies assessing the efficacy of the DJBL have shown 10-40% excess weight loss (%EWL) and improvements in obesity-associated
Complications of bleeding, liver abscess and movement have been associated with previous duodeno-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) applications in the past. A new anchoring system and design of a DJBL is presented as a pilot study.A newly designed DJBL device was OBJECTIVE
To determine the usefulness and potential pitfalls of helical computed tomography (CT) for depiction of normal anatomy and diagnosis of complications after gastric bypass surgery.
METHODS
From March 1998 to July 2002, 100 abdominal and pelvic CT examinations were performed in 72 patients
BACKGROUND
