Three trocar laparoscopic Roux-en-y gastric bypass: A novel technique en route to the single-incision laparoscopic approach
No full textAbstractBackgroundLaparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the gold standard bariatric procedure. Typically, the procedure necessitates five to seven small skin incisions for trocar placement. The senior author (AA Saber) has developed a three-trocar approach for laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.MethodsSixteen patients underwent triple-incision laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass between May 2009 and August 2009. The same surgeon performed all surgical interventions. The umbilicus was the main point of entry for all patients and the same operative technique and perioperative protocol were used in all patients.ResultsA total of sixteen triple-incision laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses were performed. The procedures were successfully performed in all patients. Mean operating time was 145.4 min. None of the patients required conversion to an open procedure. There were no mortalities or post-operative technical complications noted during the immediate post-operative period.ConclusionThree trocar laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is safe, technically feasible and reproducible. This technique may be considered a “precursor” to single-incision laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

Holopus plaziati Roux & Martinez & Vizcaïno 2021, n. sp.
No full textHolopus plaziati n. sp. Fig. 17 Type material. The type series consists of 8 brachials, all figured as syntypes (MNHN.F. A82016) (Fig. 17). Etymology. This species is dedicated to Jean-Claude Plaziat, author of many works on the Ilerdian in Corbières, who gave us the benefit of his knowledge of the field, especially concerning the site of Réqui. Diagnosis. As description of the brachial type series; aboral cup unknown. Type stratum. Base of blue marls of the middle Ilerdian above Solenomeris limestones, late NP10, but maybe already NP11. Type locality. Réqui near Montlaur (Val de Dagne, Aude). Description of type series. Quantitative characters of brachials of type series given in Table 18. Pentagonal axillary primibrachial (IBr1ax), external surface covered with coarse granulation, straight (Fig. 17A) to concave (Fig. 17F) lateral borders; internal face with Y-shaped neural groove, junction of two distal muscular synarthries forming conspicuous process (Fig. 17B, E), neural groove closing only at level of distal muscular synarthries; distal muscular synarthry with narrow, protruding fulcral ridge, inner edge of fulcral ridge with regular, well-marked crenulation, aboral ligament area slightly concave with narrow fossa of same size as neural canal, adoral ligament area beveled (Fig. 17J), muscular area oval towards central lumen and forming series of small fossae running along adoral ligament area opposite the lumen (Fig. 17D, G, J); proximal muscular synarthry often poorly preserved with linear fulcral ridge sometimes narrow, bordered by a reduced aboral ligament area and a deep adoral ligament area covered with elongated crenulations (Fig. 17K); variable lateral faces often narrow without crenulations (Fig. 17C) or wide with field of long crenulations on one of faces (Fig. 17K–L). Some smaller, irregularly shaped IBr1ax with occasionally curved proximal face and muscular synarthry offset on one side (Fig. 17H–I). Proximal subrectangular secundibrachials subrectangular, wider than high, 3 to 5 strong lateral crenulations on each side (Fig. 17M, O), muscular synathry symmetrical with respect to axial plane (Fig. 17M), no synarthry observed on opposite facet, possibly a synostosis, but feature probably related to poor preservation (Fig. 17N–O). Remarks. The extant species, H. rangii, often shows a crown with a trivium of three large pentagonal IBr and well-developed arms and a bivium of two smaller IBr, sometimes irregularly shaped and with shorter arms (Carpenter 1884). The bivium is on the inside of the crown curvature and the trivium on the outside. This more or less marked arrangement is independent of the position of the anus (Grimmer & Holland 1990). It is thought to develop during growth under the influence of a unidirectional current (Donovan 1992). In H. plaziati n. sp., large pentagonal IBrax with few or no lateral crenulations (Fig. 17A–F) and those smaller, with widely developed lateral crenulations (Fig. 17K–L) or irregularly shaped (Fig. 17H–I), suggest the presence of a trivium and a bivium, respectively (Table 18). All other fossil species of Holopus are known only by their aboral cup. The oldest specimen has been recorded from Late Campanian chalk in northern Germany (Jagt et al. 2010). Manni (2005) and Frisone et al. (2020) confirmed the presence of the genus in the Eocene of northeast Italy. The Réqui site provided the first examples of brachials of an extinct species of Holopus. The corresponding aboral cup remains to be discovered. Occurrence. Early Ypresian in Corbières (middle Ilerdian), species only known from Réqui near Montlaur (Val de Dagne, Aude).Published as part of Roux, Michel, Martinez, Alain & Vizcaïno, Daniel, 2021, A diverse crinoid fauna (Echinodermata, Crinoidea) from the Lower Eocene of the Gulf of Languedoc (Corbières, Aude, southern France), pp. 201-242 in Zootaxa 4963 (2) on page 233, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4963.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/470070

Estimation of interdomain flexibility of N-terminus of factor H using residual dipolar couplings
No full textCharacterization of segmental flexibility is needed to understand the biological mechanisms of the very large category of functionally diverse proteins, exemplified by the regulators of complement activation, that consist of numerous compact modules or domains linked by short, potentially flexible, sequences of amino acid residues. The use of NMR-derived residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), in magnetically aligned media, to evaluate interdomain motion is established but only for two-domain proteins. We focused on the three N-terminal domains (called CCPs or SCRs) of the important complement regulator, human factor H (i.e., FH1-3). These domains cooperate to facilitate cleavage of the key complement activation-specific protein fragment, C3b, forming iC3b that no longer participates in the complement cascade. We refined a three-dimensional solution structure of recombinant FH1-3 based on nuclear Overhauser effects and RDCs. We then employed a rudimentary series of RDC data sets, collected in media containing magnetically aligned bicelles (disklike particles formed from phospholipids) under three different conditions, to estimate interdomain motions. This circumvents a requirement of previous approaches for technically difficult collection of five independent RDC data sets. More than 80% of conformers of this predominantly extended three-domain molecule exhibit flexions of <40°. Such segmental flexibility (together with the local dynamics of the hypervariable loop within domain 3) could facilitate recognition of C3b via initial anchoring and eventual reorganization of modules to the conformation captured in the previously solved crystal structure of a C3b:FH1-4 complex.</p

Uropod (Fig. 12 o): 9–12 diaeresis spinules. Preanal carina: unarmed. Distribution. New Caledonia. Type locality. Pemboa Gegend, New Caledonia. Remarks. Jean Roux depicts C. n. meridionalis from New Caledonia (Roux 1926 a) and Queensland, Australia (Roux 1926 b). In a footnote Roux (1926 b: 237) states “Since completion of this paper (Roux 1926 b Australian Atyidae) the author (J. Roux) has finished and published a work on Decapoda of New Caledonia ”. Therefore the New Caledonia description of C. n. meridionalis is considered to take presidence over that from Australia. Caridina n. meridionalis was described by Roux (1926 a) from 7 localities in New Caledonia. This type series was found to comprise C. n. meridionalis, C. peninsularis and three undescribed species. The first place mentioned by Roux (1926 a), Pemboa Gegend, New Caledonia, is here considered as the type locality and these specimens are re-described by the present study as C. n. meridionalis. A male from Pemboa Gegend has been selected as the Lectotype and the remaining specimens from this locality are considered Paralectotypes. Furthermore, C. n. meridionalis is given specific status and the description of this species from Queensland, Australia is considered here as C. brachydactyla. Caridina meridionalis is distinct with a rostrum that reaches the antennular peduncle or slightly longer with 19–27 teeth on dorsal margin of which the proximal teeth are compact and the distal 1–5 teeth spaced, 2 post orbital teeth present, 4–10 teeth on the ventral margin up to the tip or with a short unarmed end, ca. 300 eggs of 0.6–0.65 × 0.35–0.39 mm size, the posterior margin of the telson triangular with long lateral spines and 2 pairs of intermediate spines, slightly shorter than the lateral spines. Caridina meridionalis differs from C. nilotica (see Richard & Clark 2005) by the morphology of rostrum, telson and egg number and size. In C. meridionalis the rostrum is straight (vs. upturned in C. nilotica); the rostrum is shorter than the antennal scale (vs. longer than the antennal scale, rarely equal to scale in C. nilotica); with 19–27 teeth always up to the tip on dorsal margin, the distal 1–5 teeth spaced (vs. with teeth on proximal dorsal margin always leaving the distal margin unarmed in C. nilotica); mostly with pointed tip (vs. tip of the rostrum is usually bifid in C. nilotica); fewer number of teeth on the ventral margin, 4–10 (vs. more teeth on ventral margin, 10–28 in C. nilotica); the lateral spines and intermediate spines at the posterior margin of the telson are longer (vs. posterior margin of the telson is flat and bears 1–3 pairs of short intermediate spines in C. nilotica); ca. 300 eggs of 0.6–0.65 × 0.35–0.39 mm size (vs. 85– 140 eggs of 0.5–0.85 × 0.35–0.55 mm size present in C. nilotica). Caridina meridionalis appears to be closer to C. simoni in the morphology of the rostrum. However, examination reveals differences between the two species. In C. meridionalis the rostrum is shorter than the antennal scale (vs. rostrum reaches the end of the antennal scale or slightly longer in C. simoni); pointed or bifid tip (vs. tip pointed in C. simoni); 19–27 teeth on the dorsal margin of which the proximal being compact and distal 1–5 being spaced (vs. 15–25 teeth placed proximally leaving 0.25–0.4 of dorsal margin distally either unarmed or interrupted by 1–4 teeth in C. simoni); 2 post orbital teeth present (vs. 3–5 post orbital teeth present in C. simoni); 4–10 teeth placed mid-ventrally up to the tip or with a short anterior unarmed ventral margin (vs. 5–14 teeth on the ventral margin proximally leaving 0.25–0.35 of the ventral margin always unarmed in C. simoni); posterior margin of telson is narrow and triangular converging to median pointed process with 1 pair of long lateral spines and two pairs of intermediate spines that are slightly shorter than the lateral spines (vs. posterior margin of the telson is broad and rounded mostly without a median process, bearing 1 pair of long lateral spines and 3–4 pairs of sparsely plumose spines that are shorter than laterals or inner pair of spines of equal length to the lateral spines in C. simoni); ca. 300 eggs of 0.6–0.65 × 0.35–0.39 mm size (vs. ca. 50– 160 eggs of 0.65 –1.0× 0.45–0.6 mm size in C. simoni). These morphological differences indicate that C. meridionalis is distinct from C. simoni, and that the decision of Johnson (1963) to consider C. meridionalis as a junior synonym of C. simoni was incorrect.Published as part of Richard, Jasmine & Clark, Paul F., 2014, Caridina simoni Bouvier, 1904 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Atyoidea: Atyidae) and the synonymy by Johnson, 1963, pp. 301-338 in Zootaxa 3841 (3) on pages 321-324, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3841.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/22824
