Obesity might be associated with mortality and clinical outcomes following transplantation; however, the direction of this relationship has not been well-recognized in youth. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the association of obesity with post-transplant mortality and clinical outcomes in children and adolescents. Following a systematic search of observational studies published by December 2018 in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane library, 15 articles with total sample size of 50,498 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The main outcome was mortality and secondary outcomes included acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), acute rejection, and overall graft loss. Alantolactone The pooled data analyses showed significantly higher odds of long term mortality (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.15-1.48, P  less then  0.001, I2 = 50.3%), short term mortality (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.19-2.70, P = 0.005, I2 = 59.6%), and acute GVHD (OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.5-3.02, P  less then  0.001, I2 = 1.7%) in children with obesity. There were no significant differences between patients with and without obesity in terms of acute rejection (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.98-1.16, P = 0.132, I2 = 7.5%) or overall graft loss (OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.84-1.28, P = 0.740, I2 = 51.6%). This systematic review and meta-analysis has stated higher post-transplant risk of short and long term mortality and higher risk of acute GVHD in children with obesity compared to those without obesity. Future clinical trials are required to investigate the effect of pre-transplant weight management on post-transplant outcomes to provide insights into the clinical application of these findings. This may in turn lead to establish guidelines for the management of childhood obesity in transplantations.

The purpose of this study was to present the optimal patient selection for esophageal stenting after esophageal resection to investigate possible factors leading to treatment success or treatment failure in these patients.

This was a prospective, observational study of patients from January 2005 to May 2019 with an esophageal anastomotic leak that were treated with a self-expandable stent (SES).

A total of 34 patients were treated. All achieved technical success (100%); 33 (97%) achieved clinical success. No patient had to have reoperative surgery based on their leak management. The stenting in-hospital mortality was 0% with 1 patient (2%) with a 90-day mortality from possible leak-related death. Patients had their stents removed with a median of 106 days.

Stenting for an anastomotic leak after resection offers a safe and effective method of treatment and is successful in the majority of cases. Critical to success is optimal patient selection, adequate leak drainage, and optimal stent selection and placement.

To discuss the diagnosis, treatment, and complications of diabetes in people with HIV (PWH) and to review HIV-related factors that may contribute to the development of diabetes or alter decisions in the care and treatment of PWH with diabetes.

For those patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and/or chronic kidney disease, GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors should be considered for use. Evidence for this recommendation is, however, based on studies that were not conducted in populations consisting solely of PWH. Diabetes is a significant comorbidity in PWH and adds to their already heightened risk of cardiovascular disease. HIV-specific factors, including interactions of antiretroviral therapy with medications that either treat diabetes and/or prevent cardiovascular disease, should be evaluated.

Endometriosis is one of the most common diseases in women of reproductive age. Despite characteristic symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic abdominal pain, dysuria, dyschezia and dyspareunia, the average latency until diagnosis is around 10years. In addition to the individual limitations, the disease also has economic and health policy relevance. The complaints are followed by reductions in working hours, cyclically recurring short-term sick leave or presenteeism with reduced performance.

An overview of the main recommendations of the S2k guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis.

For the S2k guideline "Diagnostics and therapy of endometriosis", asystematic literature search was conducted in PubMed and Cochrane according to adefined algorithm and over aperiod of more than 5years, from 01.01.2014 to 31.12.2018. For the evaluation, 322 publications, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials were considered and these were assessed by 41mandate holders and representatives from 25Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF) and non-AWMF professional societies, organizations, associations and working groups of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG), as well as two patient target groups.

In astructured consensus process, 48recommendations and 27statements were formulated, which are presented in extracts in this paper.

Interdisciplinary cooperation is essential in the treatment of patients with (suspected) endometriosis. This team should include all necessary disciplines in across-sectoral network. This is most likely to be achieved in acertified structure.
