World Suicide Prevention Day

The International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) want us to start conversation with friends, colleagues or family members who we think may be struggling.

According to IASP, more than 800,000 people a year die by suicide, and up to 25 times as many make a suicide attempt.

perfluoroalkyl substances

Perfluoroalkyl substances 

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (together, PFASs) are a class of man-made chemicals. They are not found naturally in the environment.  PFOA and PFOS have been the most extensively produced and studied of these chemicals.  Both chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body.

What is hepatitis?

Q: What is hepatitis?

A: Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. The condition can be self-limiting or can progress to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer. Hepatitis viruses are the most common cause of hepatitis in the world but other infections, toxic substances (e.g. alcohol, certain drugs), and autoimmune diseases can also cause hepatitis.

There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of greatest concern because of the burden of illness and death they cause and the potential for outbreaks and epidemic spread. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.

Hepatitis A and E are typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B, C and D usually occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids. Common modes of transmission for these viruses include receipt of contaminated blood or blood products, invasive medical procedures using contaminated equipment and for hepatitis B transmission from mother to baby at birth, from family member to child, and also by sexual contact.

Acute infection may occur with limited or no symptoms, or may include symptoms such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Q: What are the different hepatitis viruses?

A: Scientists have identified 5 unique hepatitis viruses, identified by the letters A, B, C, D, and E. While all cause liver disease, they vary in important ways.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is present in the faeces of infected persons and is most often transmitted through consumption of contaminated water or food. Certain sex practices can also spread HAV. Infections are in many cases mild, with most people making a full recovery and remaining immune from further HAV infections. However, HAV infections can also be severe and life threatening. Most people in areas of the world with poor sanitation have been infected with this virus. Safe and effective vaccines are available to prevent HAV.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is transmitted through exposure to infective blood, semen, and other body fluids. HBV can be transmitted from infected mothers to infants at the time of birth or from family member to infant in early childhood. Transmission may also occur through transfusions of HBV-contaminated blood and blood products, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injection drug use. HBV also poses a risk to healthcare workers who sustain accidental needle stick injuries while caring for infected-HBV patients. Safe and effective vaccines are available to prevent HBV.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This may happen through transfusions of HCV-contaminated blood and blood products, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injection drug use. Sexual transmission is also possible, but is much less common. There is no vaccine for HCV.

Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infections occur only in those who are infected with HBV. The dual infection of HDV and HBV can result in a more serious disease and worse outcome. Hepatitis B vaccines provide protection from HDV infection.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is mostly transmitted through consumption of contaminated water or food. HEV is a common cause of hepatitis outbreaks in developing parts of the world and is increasingly recognized as an important cause of disease in developed countries. Safe and effective vaccines to prevent HEV infection have been developed but are not widely available

E/e' ratio,

E/e' ratio

E/e´ ratio

To derive the E/e´ ratio one must divide the maximum velocity of the E-wave of mitral valve inflow by the maximal velocity of E. In normal individuals the E/e´ ratio is <8. In the presence of diastolic dysfunction / impaired relaxation, e´ will be rather low. In contrast, the E-wave increases with elevated filling pressures. Thus the E/e´ ratio will increase in the presence of diastolic dysfunction.

 An E/e´ratio >15 is highly suggestive of elevated filling pressures.

The ratio may be employed to directly estimate filling pressure by using the following formula:

Mitral Inflow — Reference values

	16- 20 years	21- 40 years	41- 60 years	> 60 years
IVRT (ms)	50 ± 9	67 ± 8	74 ± 7	87 ± 7
DT (ms)	142 ± 19	166 ± 14	181 ± 19	200 ± 29
A duration	113 ± 17	127 ± 13	133 ± 13	138 ± 19
E/A	1.88 ± 0.45	1.53 ± 0.4	1.28 ± 0.25	0.96 ± 0,18

sleeve gastrectomy

Sleeve Gastrectomy

leeve gastrectomy as a laparoscopic procedure. This involves making five or six small incisions in the abdomen and performing the procedure using a video camera (laparoscope) and long instruments that are placed through these small incisions.

During the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), about 75% of the stomach is removed leaving a narrow gastric “tube” or “sleeve”. No intestines are removed or bypassed during the sleeve gastrectomy. The LSG takes one to two hours to complete.

Who Do We Offer Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy?

This procedure is primarily used as part of a staged approach to surgical weight loss. Patients who have a very high body mass index (BMI) or who are at risk for undergoing anesthesia or a longer procedure due to heart or lung problems may benefit from this staged approach. Sometimes the decision to proceed with a two-stage approach is made before surgery due to these known risk factors. In other patients, the decision to perform sleeve gastrectomy (instead of gastric bypass) is made during the operation. Reasons for making this decision intraoperatively include an excessively large liver or extensive scar tissue that would make the gastric bypass procedure too long or unsafe.
In patients who undergo LSG as a first stage procedure, the second stage (gastric bypass) is performed 12 to 18 months later after significant weight loss has occurred and the risk of anesthesia is much lower (and the liver has decreased in size). Though this approach involves two procedures, we believe it is safe and effective for selected patients.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can also be used as a primary procedure. There is relatively little data regarding the use of LSG as a stand-alone procedure in patients with lower BMI’s and it should be considered an investigational procedure in this patient group. We are offering this procedure to diabetic patients with a BMI between 30 and 40 as a part of a clinical trial that will better define the short and long-term benefits of LSG in this group of patients.

What Are The Risks Of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy?

There are risks that are common to any laparoscopic procedure such as bleeding, infection, injury to other organs, or the need to convert to an open procedure. There is also a small risk of a leak from the staple line used to divide the stomach. These problems are rare and major complications occur less than 1% of the time.
Overall, the operative risks associated with LSG are slightly higher than those seen with the laparoscopic adjustable band but lower than the risks associated with gastric bypass.

What Are The benefits Of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Depending on their pre-operative weight, patients can expect to lose between 40% to 70% of their excess body weight in the first year after surgery.
Many obesity-related comorbidities improve or resolve after bariatric surgery. Diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and abnormal cholesterol levels are improved or cured in more than 75% of patients undergoing LSG. Though long-term studies are not yet available, the weight loss that occurs after LSG results in dramatic improvement in these medical conditions in the first year after surgery.

Is Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy A Good Choice For Me?

Your surgeon may talk to you about LSG as an option if you have a BMI over 60 or significant medical problems that increase your risk for undergoing anesthesia or gastric bypass. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may also be offered as part of a clinical investigation if you have a lower BMI and diabetes.
