One thousand single anastomosis (omega loop) gastric bypasses to treat morbid obesity in a 7-year period: outcomes show ...
Published in Bull Acad Natl Med
Background A short-term randomized controlled trial shows that the one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a safe and effective alternative to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the OAGB at our University Hospital between 2006 and 2013. Patients One thousand patients have undergone an OAGB....

...Published in Bull Acad Natl Med
Background Accumulating evidence suggests that the benefits seen in adult bariatric surgery can be reproduced in adolescents. In contrast with North America, bariatric surgery in adolescents is still not well accepted in Europe and indications and protocols have still to be formulated. Methods This prospective study tested the gastric banding ...

Death and survival of heterozygous Lurcher Purkinje cells in vitro.
Published in Bull Acad Natl Med
The differentiation and survival of heterozygous Lurcher (+/Lc) Purkinje cells in vitro was examined as a model system for studying how chronic ionic stress affects neuronal differentiation and survival. The Lurcher mutation in the delta2 glutamate receptor (GluRdelta2) converts an orphan receptor into a membrane channel that constitutively passes ...

One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass: Why Biliary Reflux Remains Controversial?
Published in Bull Acad Natl Med
One-anastomosis gastric bypass is an alternative to the “gold-standard” Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This technique appears to be safe and efficient, but controversy remains regarding the long-term theoretical risk of subsequent biliary reflux and its possible complications, such as cancer. The aim of the present narrative review was to summarize some...
The emerging role of SHANK genes in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Published in Bull Acad Natl Med
The genetic heterogeneity of neuropsychiatric disorders is high, but some pathways emerged, notably synaptic functioning. A large number of mutations have been described in genes such as neuroligins, neurexins, and SHANK that play a role in the formation and the maintenance of synapses. This review focuses on the disorders associated with mutations...
