TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the therapeutic efficacy and safety of recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (rhlL-1ra) in the treatment of patients with severe sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of 281 consecutive total laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses to treat morbid obesity.
TL;DR: Laparoscopic gastric bypass demonstrates excellent weight loss and resolution of comorbidities with a low complication rate, and the learning curve is evident: operative time and leaks decreased with experience and improved techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greater risk of incisional hernia with morbidly obese than steroid-dependent patients and low recurrence with prefascial polypropylene mesh
Harvey J. Sugerman,John M. Kellum,H. David Reines,Eric J. DeMaria,Heber H. Newsome,James W. Lowry +5 more
TL;DR: Severe obesity is a greater risk factor for incisional hernia and hernia recurrence than chronic steroid use in nonobese colitis patients and a prefascial polypropylene mesh repair minimizes recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bariatric Surgery for Morbid Obesity
TL;DR: A 44-year-old obese woman (height, 1.7 m [65 in.]) has seen her primary care physician for the past 10 years for management of conditions related to her obesity, including diabetes, hypertension, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eric J. DeMaria,Harvey J. Sugerman,Jill G. Meador,James M. Doty,John M. Kellum,Luke G. Wolfe,Richard A. Szucs,Mary Ann Turner +7 more
TL;DR: The authors did not find LASGB to be an effective procedure for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity, and the overall need for band removal and conversion to GBP in this series will ultimately exceed 50%.
