Vitamin D and Obesity: Which One Is Affected by the Other?

End-to-end esophagojejunostomy versus standard end-to-side esophagojejunostomy: which one is preferable?

 Abstract Background: End-to-side esophagojejunostomy has almost always been associated with some degree of dysphagia. To overcome this complication we decided to perform an end-to-end anastomosis and compare it with end-to-side Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. Methods: In this prospective study, between 1998 and 2005, 71 patients with a diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma underwent total gastrec...

Topological Groups in Which Multiplication of One Side Is Differentiable

The present note is concerned with the problem of determining the formally weakest conditions on a group which can be proved to result in the group being a Lie group. We show essentially that it is sufficient for this purpose to require that the group be a (real) manifold of class C in which right multiplication is of class C (our result is slightly stronger—Theorem 2 is the precise statement)....
