Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in...
Schumacher, AE; Kyu, HH; Aali, A; Abbafati, C; Abbas, J; Abbasgholizadeh, R; Abbasi, MA; Abbasian, M; Abd ElHafeez, S; Abdelmasseh, M; Abd Elsalam, SBackground: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides n...
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysi...
Robinson, L; Roccaldo, R; Rodrigues, D; Rodriguez Perez, MdC; Rodríguez Villamizar, LA; Rodríguez, AY; Roggenbuck, U; Rohloff, P; Rohner, FBackground: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that...
Best practice approach for redo-surgeries after sleeve gastrectomy, an expert's...
Kermansaravi, M; Parmar, C; Chiappetta, S; Shikora, S; Aminian, A; Abbas, SI; Angrisani, L; Bashir, A; Behrens, E; Bhandari, M; Clapp, B; Cohen, RBackground: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common metabolic and bariatric surgical (MBS) procedure worldwide. Despite the desired effect of SG on weight loss and remission of obesity-associated medical problems, there are some concerns regarding the need to do revisional/conversional surgeries after SG. This study aims to make an algorithmic clinical approach based on an expert-modified Delphi consensus re...
Patient Selection in One Anastomosis/Mini Gastric Bypass—an Expert Modified Del...
Kermansaravi, M; Parmar, C; Chiappetta, S; Shahabi, S; Abbass, A; Abbas, SI; Abouzeid, M; Antozzi, L; Asghar, ST; Bashir, A; Bhandari, M; Billy, HPurpose: One anastomosis/mini gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB) is up to date the third most performed obesity and metabolic procedure worldwide, which recently has been endorsed by ASMBS. The main criticisms are the risk of bile reflux, esophageal cancer, and malnutrition. Although IFSO has recognized this procedure, guidance is needed regarding selection criteria. To give clinicians a daily support in performing the ...
Is the high frequency of machado-joseph disease in China due to new mutational ...
Li, T; Martins, S; Peng, Y; Wang, P; Hou, X; Chen, Z; Wang, C; Tang, Z; Qiu, R; Chen, C; Hu, Z; Xia, K; Tang, B; Sequeiros, J; Jiang, HMachado-Joseph disease (MJD, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia 3 or SCA3) is the most common dominant ataxia worldwide, with an overall average prevalence of 1-5/100,000. To this date, two major ancestral lineages have been found throughout the world. In China, the relative frequency of MJD among the SCAs reaches as high as 63%, however, little is known about its mutational origin in this country. We analyze...
Gene Silencing via PDA/ERK2-siRNA-Mediated Electrospun Fibers for Peritendinous...
Liu, S; Wu, F; Gu, S; Wu, T; Chen, S; Chen, S; Wang, C; Huang, G; Jin, T; Cui, W; Sarmento, B; Deng, L; Fan, CSustained delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a challenge in gene silencing for managing gene-related disorders. Although nanoparticle-mediated electrospun fibers enable sustainable gene silencing, low efficiency, loss of biological activity, toxicity issues, and complex electrospinning techniques are all bottlenecks of these systems. Preventing peritendinous adhesion is crucial for their successful us...
Analysis of (CAG) n Expansion in ATXN1, ATXN2 and ATXN3 in Chinese Patients Wit...
Zhou, X; Wang, C; Ding, D; Chen, Z; Peng, Y; Peng, H; Hou, X; Wang, P; Hou, X; Ye, W; Li, T; Yang, H; Qiu, R; Xia, K; Sequeiros, J; Tang, B; Jiang, HMultiple system atrophy (MSA) is a complex and multifactorial neurodegenerative disease, and its pathogenesis remains uncertain. Patients with MSA or spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) show overlapping clinical phenotypes. Previous studies have reported that intermediate or long CAG expansions in SCA genes have been associated with other neurodegenerative disease. In this study, we screened for the number of CAG repe...
