Abstract:
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery improper technique can cause complications such as Roux-en-O, which is caused by an inadvertent anastomosis of the biliopancreatic limb to the gastric pouch, creating an "O" form to the bypass. We present intraoperative images of a mistaken Roux-en-Y's technique that caused the "O" anatomy and its successful reconstruction.

Different methods, such as visual observance of metal-ion indicators, spectroscopic techniques, and potentiometric methods, can determine the endpoint of an EDTA titration.
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...

Electrochemistry is the science involved in the interconversion of electrical and chemical reactions. Such reactions are called reduction-oxidation, or redox reactions. These important reactions are defined by changes in oxidation states for one or more reactant elements and include a subset of reactions involving the transfer of electrons between reactant species. Electrochemistry as a field has evolved to yield sufficient insights on the fundamental principles of redox chemistry and multiple...
