BACKGROUND
A new medical device uses high-frequency electrical algorithms to create intermittent vagal blocking (VBLOC therapy). The aim is to assess the effects of vagal blocking on excess weight… Expand

BACKGROUND
A laparoscopically implantable electrical device that intermittently blocks both vagi near the esophagogastric junction led to significant excess weight loss (EWL) in an initial clinical… Expand
Inducible nitric oxide synthase mediates gut ischemia/reperfusion-induced ileus only after severe insults.

- 1 September 1996
This study was designed to determine if an increase in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is associated with increases in NOS II protein and mRNA abundance and… Expand
Body weight, insulin resistance, and serum adipokine levels 2 years after 2 types of bariatric surgery.
- Michael A Trakhtenbroit, J. Leichman, +4 authors H. Taegtmeyer
- Medicine

OBJECTIVE
Bariatric surgery reverses obesity-related comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes mellitus. Several studies have already described differences in anthropometrics and body composition in… Expand
Stress ulcers: their pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.
Stress ulcers are multiple, superficial erosions which occur mainly in the fundus and body of the stomach. They develop after shock, sepsis, and trauma and are ofter found in patients with… Expand
