RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The results of concurrent cholecystectomy with Roux-en Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy have been well elucidated. Large-scale data on the outcomes of concomitant cholecystectomy during biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) are still lacking. Our study aimed to explore whether simultaneous cholecystectomy with BPD-DS alters the 30-day postoperative outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the MBSAQIP database between 2015 and 2019. Propensity-score matching (PSM) in BPD-DS with cholecystectomy (Group 1) and BPD-DS without cholecystectomy (Group 2) cohorts was performed (PSM ratio 1:2). The two groups were matched for a total of 21 baseline variables including age, gender, BMI, ASA class, and other medical comorbidities and conditions. The 30-day postoperative morbidity, mortality, reoperation, reintervention, and readmissions were obtained. RESULTS: Initially, 568 patients in Group 1 and 5079 in Group 2 were identified. After performing PSM, 564 and 1128 patients respectively were compared. The BPD-DS with cholecystectomy group reported a higher rate of reoperation and reintervention compared to BPD-DS alone (3.9% versus 2.4% and 3.2% versus 2%, respectively), even though it did not reach statistical significance. The intervention time was significantly higher in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (192.4 ± 77.6 versus 126.4 ± 61.4 min). Clavien-Dindo complications (1-5) were similar between these two PSM cohorts. CONCLUSION: Concomitant cholecystectomy during BPD-DS increases operative times but does not affect the other outcomes. Based on our results, the decision of cholecystectomy at the time of BPD-DS should be left to the surgeon's judgment.

Poisoning is the fifth leading cause of unintentional injuries among young children. Agents most commonly ingested by young children include medicines, cleaning substances, hydrocarbons, pesticides and cosmetics. Children with less educated fathers, living in more crowded conditions and from lower income families are more predisposed to unintentional poisoning. Unsafe storage of medicines, chemicals and other hazardous substances is one of the leading reasons for childhood poisoning. Knowledge of parents and caregivers about prevention of poisoning may be the basis to prevent subsequent injuries. This paper is a review of the epidemiology of unintentional poisonings among young children (less than five years) and its risk factors especially in the context of Pakistan.

BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with many co-morbidities and can cause harm to physical and mental well-being. While much has been studied in the general population about the outcomes of bariatric surgery, its implications in patients with bipolar/schizoaffective disorder (BSD) are less well understood. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe outcomes of bariatric surgery in patients with BSD. SETTING: Referral center for bariatric surgery. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective chart review analysis of bariatric surgical procedures in patients with BSD between 2008 and 2021 at Mayo Clinic. Patients with BSD (cases) were matched via propensity score matching (1:2) with non-BSD controls based on surgical procedure, age, sex, body mass index, and type 2 diabetes. Hierarchical logistic regression model was performed using SAS software. RESULTS: We matched 71 patients with BSD with 142 controls in a 1:2 ratio. After adjusting for baseline preoperative weight, patients with BSD had a 3.4% greater total weight loss compared with controls over 24 months (P = .02 [95% CI, .65-6.08]). Remission in obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and sleep apnea, was similar in both groups. Perioperative complication rates were similar other than deep venous thrombosis, which showed a higher rate in patients with BSD (P = .04). Patients with long-term BSD were at increased risk of alcohol use compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS: When compared with the general bariatric population, weight loss was similar to slightly improved, with a comparable risk and complication profile. Patients with BSD have increased alcohol use after bariatric surgery, highlighting the need for psychological care before and after surgery in this population.
