In a catamnestic study of 103 anorexia nervosa patients treated at the university medical clinic in Heidelberg between 1970 and 1980, 51 patients were personally evaluated after 3, 6 years using a multi-dimensional system of criteria that covered 30 different symptom areas. There was a clear improvement with regard to constipation, vomiting, and the abuse of laxatives, various laboratory parameters, psychic symptoms, and vocational situation. Secondary amenorrhea, psychic suffering, and overly strong emotional ties to the family, however, were still found among two-thirds of the patients. Long-term success of treatment was found to correlate closely with an early age both for the onset of the disorder and for the beginning of treatment. Reduction of physical symptoms by the time of the post-examination was closely related to the extent of the family therapy carries out. In general, males appeared to benefit from treatment more than did female patients. Cluster analysis revealed that of four groups of patients studied, only one group could be called healthy; anorexia nervosa symptoms persisted to varying degrees in the other groups. Psychological testing using the PEF brought to light the following relationships: The greater the degree of illness at the time of the catamnestic study, the stronger the patient's tie to his/her own family, the greater the concern with physical appearance, the more achievement oriented, and the greater the aversion to playful activity.

The author presents the results of a new surgical technique for the reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract after gastrectomy. It was utilized in 36 patients (ten with total, 16 with subtotal and seven with minimal radical gastrectomy and also three cases of post-gastrectomy syndrome). The initial methodology, using the lost tie (group striction (GST)) to the duodenojejunal reservoir was not successful since it showed recanalization and consequent refluxing esophagitis (55,5%). For that reason, we changed to a complete section of the intestinal loop (group section (GS)). The follow up period ranged from one to 49 months. The following complications were observed: incisional hernia, one case (GST); early postoperative period death (19th day), one case (GS); dumping syndrome, one case (GST); bilious vomiting, two cases (GS); diarrhea, four cases (one GST and three GS). Clinically, in the late follow up of patients without recurrency of neoplasia, 17 of them have gained weight, four have lost weight and two were unaltered. Laboratory tests such as amilasemia, hematologic, proteins and glycemia were favorable to the method. Postoperative function, studied roentgenologically, showed that the average time emptying of the remmant stomach was 115 minutes in the subtotal resections and 82 minutes in total resections. The filling of the reservoir by the barium solution ranged from 40 to 60%; this variation depended on whether the duodenum was in peristalsis or antiperistalsis. Late death occurred in 13 patients, none because of the proposed technique.

Ankyloglossia, also known as tongue-tie, is an embryological anatomical malformation of the tongue, characterized by an abnormally short and a thick lingual frenum. Tongue-tie restricts the physiologic movements of the tongue and results in various functional, behavioral and speech abnormalities along with the development of frontal and lateral lisps. Ankyloglossia in infants is also linked with the difficulty in breastfeeding difficulty, gagging, choking or vomiting food, delayed development or deterioration of speech and behavioral issues. A lingual frenectomy is a common oral surgical procedure done to correct an ankylosed lingual frenum by severing the abnormal frenal attachment on the ventral surface of the tongue. However, lingual frenectomy is associated with few complications that should be addressed to achieve a good overall prognosis. Though a lot of research is available on the various techniques and rationale to correct ankyloglossia, no paper has yet highlighted the surgical complications associated with lingual frenectomy. Therefore, the present paper for the first time review and highlight the common intraoperative and postoperative complications following lingual frenectomy.
