Abstract Aims To investigate the procedural outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with previous Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Methods We performed a systematic review accordance PRISMA statement standards to identify all studies reporting ERCP RYGB. The ROBINS-I tool was used assess risk bias included studies. Fixed-effect...

Background: The gold standard for diagnosis of diabetes gastroparesis (DG) is with gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) examination. However, GES not available in every healthcare center worldwide and the examination cost rather expensive, unlike ultrasonography (USG) This study aims to evaluate changes monitored USG mellitus (DM) DG. Methods...

Heterotrimeric G proteins of the Gα(i) family have been implicated in signaling pathways regulating cell migration in immune diseases. The Gα(i)-protein-coupled C5a receptor is a critical regulator of IgG FcR function in experimental models of immune complex (IC)-induced inflammation. By using mice deficient for Gα(i2) or Gα(i3), we show that Gα(i2) is necessary for neutrophil influx in skin an...

Abstract Background The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising worldwide though it remains unknown how race and ethnicity mediate health-care utilization. We aimed to better define this relationship in systematic review meta-analysis. Methods explored the impact or on likelihood needing an IBD-related surgery, hospitalization, emergency department (ED) visit. Pooled odds ratios...

BACKGROUND A number of studies have evaluated the efficacy of deferred stenting vs immediate stenting in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, but the findings were not consistent across these studies. This meta-analysis aims to assess optimal treatment strategies in patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched the PubMed, EMBASE...

BACKGROUND Mammary cancer has a high incidence in canines and is an excellent model of spontaneous carcinogenesis. Molecular iodine (I2) exerts antineoplastic effects on different cancer cells activating re-differentiation pathways. In co-administration with anthracyclines, I2 impairs chemoresistance installation and prevents the severity of side effects generated by these antineoplastic drugs....

Let I1 and I2 be intervals of real numbers. An interval game is played in this way: player 1 secretly selects x ∈ I1 and player 2 secretly and independently selects y ∈ I2. After x and y are revealed, payoffs are given by some predetermined function with domain I1 × I2. The payoff function for a zero sum interval game is a function A : I1 × I2 → R. This is interpreted to mean that the second pl...
