Aim: The magnetic ring (LINX®) system was approved by the FDA in 2012 as a device to augment the lower esophageal sphincter pressure to manage reflux in the general population. It was introduced into the bariatric population in 2014 as an alternative to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in managing reflux after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Materials: Between January 2015 and December 2021, Seventeen patients had the Magnetic Ring (MR) device placement to manage their reflux after SG. Methods: The mean age was 54 ± 12 years. Their mean body mass index (BMI) was 31 ± 6 kg/m2. The mean time between the SG and MR device placement was 41 ± 19 months. The mean DeMeester score was 48 ± 26 (normal < ...
"Bariatric surgery rates have increased exponentially, both within the United States and worldwide.

Reviews current practice and future developments in the treatment options of inguinal hernia, including laparoscopic repairs. This text includes clinical and basic research, as well as data from pioneering surgeons from Europe, North and South America and Australia.
Radiologists in emergency department settings are uniquely positioned to identify and provide effective, appropriate care to vulnerable patient populations. Emergency Imaging of At-Risk Patients fills a void in the literature by illustrating challenges in emergency and trauma imaging of vulnerable patients using a head-to-toe approach. Drawing on the vast clinical experience of emergency and trauma radiologists from the largest academic medical centers across North America, this reference presents basic and advanced emergency imaging concepts, relevant case studies, current controversies and protocols, and subtle imaging findings that help guide clinicians to efficient and accurate diagnoses...
