No full textSleeve gastrectomy (SG) has known a spectacular rise worldwide during the last decade. The absence of digestive anastomosis simplifies the surgical technique, reducing anastomosis-related complications such as fistula, stricture and marginal ulcer. Furthermore, the respect for digestive continuity preserves the functions of pylorus, that regulates gastric emptying, and duodenum, where calcium, B vitamins and iron are absorbed. Despite the multiple advantages, SG also has specific complications such as bleeding, stenosis, portal thrombosis and leak. The staple line leak at the oesophagogastric junction is the most feared complication and its prevention remains difficult, as the involved mechanisms have been only partially elucidated. Its management is long and requires a multidisciplinary technical platform including Intensive Care Unit, digestive endoscopy and interventional radiology as well as a specialised surgeon. The aim of this review is to explain in detail the perioperative complications of SG, their prevention and treatment, referring to the most recent available literature

No full textWhat are the Most Important Objectives of Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy? A Narrative Review
No full textAmandeep Virk,1 Patrick-Julien Treacy,2 Ruban Thanigasalam,1– 3 Scott Leslie1– 3 1Department of Uro-Oncology, Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, Sydney, NSW, Australia; 2The Institute of Academic Surgery at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia; 3Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, AustraliaCorrespondence: Amandeep Virk, Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, 119-143 Missenden Road, Camperdown, Sydney, NSW, 2050, Australia, Tel +61421233369, Email [email protected]: This study aimed to evaluate what objectives are most important to men undergoing radical prostatectomy to allow treating physicians to personalize perioperative counselling and improve patient quality of life outcomes.Materials and Methods: A predefined search protocol of the Medline and Embase databases was performed from database inception to May 2023. The search was limited to English language and full text. All articles with a specific consideration of patient objectives, preferences or reasons for decision to undergo radical prostatectomy were included for review.Results: Ten articles out of 375 screened met inclusion criteria for review. All 10 articles utilized a qualitative design and originated across 5 countries across the developed world. A common theme of men placing importance on having their tumor physically removed was found. Methodologies allowing free response beyond predefined categories identified a breadth of considerations including personal circumstance, personal belief and current function in the decision-making process. An investigation on radical prostatectomy performed robotically found some men placed preference on the quicker treatment time with surgery compared to radiation therapy, reflective of shorter recovery times with the robotic approach.Conclusion: Variability in results across studies highlights the heterogeneity in patient preferences. Directed investigation of patient objectives with an open-ended questioning approach would personalize the perioperative experience and may improve patient satisfaction and quality of life outcomes.Keywords: prostate cancer, prostatectomy, robotic surgery, objectives, preferences, goals, quality of lif
The Use of Current Events in Schools
No full textAb a comparatively recent addition to our public school curriculum, the function of current events is probably not as well known as that of the older studies in the curriculum. The author wishes to set forth, therefore, the importance of a knowledge of current events, the necessity of and various methods of teaching current events, and the use of current events as an aid to teaching other school subjects.
To this end he had delved into the many books and magazine articles on the subject and presents in this volume his findings, with the hope that they will be of interest and benefit to the reader
State legislation as a protective factor in adolescent suicide rates

This study examines the relationship between firearm legislation and adolescent suicide by firearms on a state by state basis between the years 2009-2016. Nurses are vital to health promotion
Hyaluronidase for Dermal Filler Complications: Review of Applications and Dosage Recommendations
No full textBackgroundHyaluronidase (Hyal) can reverse complications of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which has contributed substantially to the popularity of such procedures. Still, there are differing opinions regarding Hyal treatment, including dosage recommendations in filler complication management.
ObjectiveWe aimed to address unanswered questions regarding Hyal treatment for HA filler complications, including timing and dosage, skin pretesting, properties of various Hyals and interactions with HA gels, and pitfalls of the treatment.
MethodsPubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched from inception for articles on Hyal therapy for filler complications. Articles were evaluated regarding their contribution to the field. The extensive literature review includes international leaders’ suggestions and expert panels’ recommendations.
ResultsThere are limited controlled data but increasing clinical experience with Hyal treatment. The currently used Hyals provide good results and have an acceptable safety profile. Nonemergent complications such as the Tyndall effect, noninflamed nodules, and allergic or hypersensitivity reactions should be treated with low or moderate Hyal doses. Hyal should be considered with prior or simultaneous oral antibiotic treatment in managing inflammatory nodules. Hyal may be tried for granulomas that have not responded to intralesional steroids. Emergent complications such as vascular occlusion and blindness require immediate, high-dose Hyal treatment. Regarding blindness, the injection technique, retrobulbar versus supraorbital, remains controversial. Ultrasound guidance can increase the efficacy of the above interventions.
ConclusionsHyal is essential in aesthetic practice because it can safely treat most HA filler complications. Immediate Hyal treatment is required for emergent complications. Aesthetic practitioners should be versed in using Hyal and effective dosage protocols
