UT Southwestern Medical Center surgeons have completed the first single-incision Lap-Band weight-loss surgery in Texas. view more (2008-06-16)
Kidney damage after heart surgery on the rise
The incidence of kidney damage associated with coronary artery bypass surgery has increased significantly over the past 16 years in the United States, but the rate of death from such damage has decreased significantly during the period. view more (2006-10-16)
Bypass surgery tops angioplasty for sickest heart patients
Patients with severe coronary artery disease live longer if they receive coronary artery bypass surgery as their initial treatment instead of artery-opening angioplasty or heart medications. view more (2006-10-02)
Roux-en-Y weight loss surgery raises kidney stone risk
The most popular type of gastric bypass surgery appears to nearly double the chance that a patient will develop kidney stones, despite earlier assumptions that it would not, Johns Hopkins doctors report in a new study. view more (2009-06-18)
Patients dying while waiting for bypass operation-many could be saved
A dissertation from the Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University in Sweden shows that 1.3 percent of those waiting for a bypass operation die waiting. Many more patients would survive if high risk cases were given top priority. Diseases of the coronary artery are the most common cause of death in the world. Surgery of the coronary artery,... view more... (2005-03-04)
Blood transfusions raise heart patients' infection and death risk — especially women
Blood transfusions save the lives of millions of heart surgery patients and others each year. But a new study suggests that patients who receive transfusions during heart bypass surgery have a higher risk of developing potentially dangerous infections, and dying, after their operation. view more (2006-12-20)
Minimally-invasive weight loss surgery improves health and morbidly obese teens
Teenagers' obesity-related medical complications improve just six months after laparoscopic gastric banding surgery, according to outcomes data presented this week. view more (2008-06-19)
Jefferson scientists find that drug-eluting stents are disappointing in bypass grafts — sometimes
While drug-eluting stents are effective in keeping open bypassed heart veins that aren't too diffuse (filled with cholesterol plaque), a new study by cardiologists at Jefferson Medical College shows that they fare less well in keeping open bypassed veins with longer blockages. view more (2007-03-27)
Belly fat may drive inflammatory processes associated with disease
As scientists learn more about the key role of inflammation in diabetes, heart disease and other disorders, new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that fat in the belly may be an important promoter of that inflammation. view more (2007-03-14)
Ways to avoid hazards of heart bypass under study
The heart-lung bypass machine that stills the heart while surgeons bypass an adult's clogged arteries or repair a baby's malformed heart can also trigger a potentially deadly inflammatory response. view more (2005-08-29)
Elevated pepsin levels may lead to rejection of lung transplants
Researchers in the United Kingdom have demonstrated that high levels of pepsin, a digestive enzyme that is a marker for gastric aspiration, are associated with acute rejection of a lung transplant. view more (2007-06-18)
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent stomach cancer
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent digestive tract cancers, suggests animal research reported in Gut. view more (2001-12-17)
Does artificial intelligence help clinicians to recognize atrophic gastritis with thyroid disease?
The association of ABG with thyroid disorders (TD) was first described about 40 years ago. These older studies assessed the association between Pernicious Anemia (PA) and Thyroiditis on the basis of gastric and or thyroid auto-antibodies. Only recently systematic studies have focused on this frequently overlooked association. view more (2008-02-27)
Fat tissue surrounding thoracic arteries may be beneficial
A team of McMaster researchers has discovered that fat tissue surrounding thoracic arteries may be beneficial in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. view more (2005-12-02)
Is there long-term brain damage after bypass surgery? More evidence puts the blame on heart disease
Brain scientists and cardiac surgeons at Johns Hopkins have evidence from 227 heart bypass surgery patients that long-term memory losses and cognitive problems they experience are due to the underlying coronary artery disease itself and not ill after-effects from having used a heart-lung machine. view more (2009-08-04)
Study offers new clues to brain-stomach interaction in overeating
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have found new clues to how the brain and the stomach interact with emotions to cause overeating and obesity. view more (2006-10-03)
Portuguese distinguished in article about stomach cancer
Three Portuguese researchers are co-authors of a scientific article about hereditary stomach cancer, published in the medical journal "New England Journal of Medicine" and recently awarded the Benjamin Castleman 2002 Award. Attributed by the International Academy of Pathology, the prize distinguishes the best scientific work in human pathology... view more... (2002-06-18)
Warning over heart patients denied most appropriate treatment
Thousands of patients with heart disease may be denied the best chance of survival because of uncertainty over the most suitable treatment option, warns a cardiac surgeon in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-03-23)
Bypass surgery has long-term benefits for children with Kawasaki disease
Coronary artery bypass surgery provides long-term benefits for children whose hearts and blood vessels are damaged by Kawasaki disease, Japanese researchers report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-06-23)
Fat overrides effects of vitamin C
Fats in our stomach may reduce the protective effects of antioxidants such as vitamin C. Scientists at the University of Glasgow found that in the presence of lipid the ability of antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (the active component of vitamin C), to protect against the generation of potential cancer-forming compounds in the stomach is less... view more...
