The Evolving Use of Magnets in Surgery: Biomedical Considerations and a Review of Their Current Applications

“…Examples of in-human use of MCA include the following: Esophago-esophageal anastomoses of two disconnected esophageal ends in children with esophageal atresia [ 49 , 51 , 52 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]; Gastroenteric or intestinal anastomoses to restore gastrointestinal (GI) tract continuity [ 35 , 42 ]; Uretero-ileal anastomoses for urinary diversions in patients with neurogenic bladders [ 42 ]; Colorectal anastomoses of disconnected colons and rectums in children with rectal atresia [ 41 ]; Intestinal anastomoses for enteral bypasses/diversions with comparable weight loss and decrease in hemoglobin A1c, fasting blood glucose, and use of medications/insulin for diabetes [ 44 , 45 ]; Stricturoplasties, or intraluminal resections of obstructing strictures, to restore GI tract continuity; Small bowel non-anastomotic strictures [ 63 ]; Anastomotic strictures after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer [ 64 ], esophageal atresia repair [ 61 , 62 ], and colon resections for colorectal cancer [ 66 ]; Bilioenteric (the bile duct to the small intestine) anastomotic ischemic strictures after liver transplant or a bile duct injury [ 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ]. …”

Clinical characteristics and short-term outcome of dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury in critically ill patients

“…Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious problem of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, related with high in-hospital mortality rates and dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease [1][2][3][4]. Advanced age, increased AKI severity, dialysis requirement, infections or sepsis, oliguria, number of failing organs, mechanical ventilation requirement and cardiovascular failure are associated with increased mortality of AKI patients in the ICU [1,[5][6][7][8].…”
