The current limitations of surgical treatment, as well as restrictions on professional and sport activities related to COVID-19 pandemic require seeking therapeutic solutions for the vast population of patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI, chronic venous insufficiency). To understand the principles of pharmacotherapy of this disease, the authors used data related to epidemiology and pathophysiology of CVI. They provided the latest data on venoactive drugs and recommendations that should be followed and summarized the literature based on the EBM. The article should provide the answer to the question of how to deal with patients with varicose veins or, more broadly, chronic venous insufficiency during the pandemic.

Bariatric surgery is the most effective method of weight reduction among patients suffering from morbid obesity. Reduction of body weight before surgery is an important element. The aim of the study was to present the current knowledge on preoperative weight reduction and diet for this purpose.

To achieve the aims of the paper, articles available in the PubMed / MEDLINE database published in 2005-2020 were used, as well as the guidelines of societies such as Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Chapter of the Association of Polish Surgeons, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, The Obesity Society and American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, International Federation for Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders-European Chapter and European Association for the Study of Obesity.

Studies show that even a modest reduction in weight in the early preoperative period facilitates surgery and reduces the number of complications. The available data do not support the effect of preoperative weight loss on increased postoperative weight loss. The use of balanced, energy-restricted diet in the preoperative period prepares the patient for changes in the way of nutrition, which improves the nutritional status of patient. Low calorie (LCD) or very low calorie (VLCD) diet can be an effective method of weight loss before surgery, however, this approach does not allow to modify eating habits. The use of a very low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) remains under discussion.

There is a need for large randomized trials to assess short and long term benefits of preoperative weight loss and methods of weight loss among patients qualified for bariatric surgery, also the standardization of nutritional management in the preoperative period.

In the present study, the importance of staging lapafoscopy was retrospectively investigated by using clinical and pathologic data. METHODS Data of 70 out of 350 patients who underwent diagnostic laparoscopy due to gastric cancer at Surgical Oncology department between August 2013 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Peritoneal biopsy was positive for malignity in 41 (58.5%) and negative in 29 (41.5%) of the patients who underwent SL. Peritoneal cytology (PC) results were negative in 32 (45.7%) patients and positive in 38 (54.3%) patients. Peritoneal biopsy and cytology results were concurrently positive in 35 patients and concurrently negative in 26 patients. Selleck Colivelin CONCLUSİONS In conclusion, even the most developed imaging methods cannot provide 100% staging, therefore SL plays an important role in treatment of gastric cancer and laparoscopic staging is essential as a simple, inexpensive, safe and well tolerated method in patients who have the suspicion of peritoneal disease and who cannot be clearly evaluated with pre-operative methods.

Trauma is the leading cause of mortality in people below the age of 45 years. Abdominal trauma constitutes one-fourth of the trauma burden. Scoring systems in trauma are necessary for grading the severity of the injury and prior mobilization of resources in anticipation. The aim of this study was to evaluate RTS, ISS, CASS and TRISS scoring systems in blunt trauma abdomen.

A prospective single-center study was conducted on 43 patients of blunt trauma abdomen. Revised trauma score (RTS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), Clinical Abdominal Scoring System (CASS) and Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) were calculated and compared with the outcomes such as need for surgical intervention, post-operative complications and mortality.

The majority of the study subjects were males (83.7%). The most common etiology for blunt trauma abdomen as per this study was road traffic accident (72.1%). Spleen was the most commonly injured organ as per the study. CASS and TRISS were significant in predicting the need for operative intervention. Only ISS significantly predicted post-operative complications. All scores except CASS significantly predicted mortality.

Among the scoring systems studied CASS and TRISS predicted the need for operative intervention with good accuracy. For the prediction of post-operative complications, only the ISS score showed statistical significance. ISS, RTS and TRISS predicted mortality with good accuracy but the superiority of one score over the other couldn't be proved.

Before starting the treatment, it is always necessary to objectively confirm gastroesophageal reflux disease, especially in correlation with ENT symptoms, as extra esophageal complications. In diagnostics, the "gold standard" is a 24-hour impedance-pH supplemented with endoscopy. Treatment without objective confirmation of the disease is not recommended, the more so that non-acid gas proximal reflux, detectable only in the MIIpH test, causes the greatest number of laryngological complications. It is important to confirm the coexistence of clinical symptoms of GERD with ESS. Considering the time of treating the disease and its consequences, it is worthwhile to be cautious and careful with the diagnosis of the disease, and the treatment should be carried out for a long time in relation to the recommendation, preferably in cooperation with an ENT specialist and gastroenterologist.
