This book provides extensive information on the duodenal switch and all of its derivatives. The number of procedures performed is progressively increasing, as cases of obesity are on the rise and patients’ body mass index (BMI) is getting higher. It discusses all the techniques involved in the duodenal switch procedure and its derivatives used in the primary and revision situations. Readers will learn what the procedure can offer not only in terms of weight loss, but also its potential with regard to metabolic diseases, since some data indicates that the duodenal switch may lead to rapid resolution of diabetes and other comorbidities. The work is divided into three parts, the first of which provides an overview of the duodenal switch, its history, mechanisms of action and reasons for performing it. Part II covers patient selection, risk assessment, complications and different techniques regarding weight loss surgery. In addition, there are chapters on nutrition and psychological aspects. Lastly, the chapters in Part III address patient selection and preoperative and postoperative care in metabolic and diabetes type 2 surgeries. The most important information on the duodenal switch is gathered in a single volume and includes its benefits for metabolic diseases. This book will give healthcare professionals new confidence with regard to this procedure and may serve as a reference guide not only for the bariatric community (surgeons, PA, ARNP, nutritionists) but also for teaching new residents and fellows.

This book presents an in-depth overview of recent work related to the safety, security, and privacy of cyber-physical systems (CPSs). It brings together contributions from leading researchers in networked control systems and closely related fields to discuss overarching aspects of safety, security, and privacy; characterization of attacks; and solutions to detecting and mitigating such attacks. The book begins by providing an insightful taxonomy of problems, challenges and techniques related to safety, security, and privacy for CPSs. It then moves through a thorough discussion of various control-based solutions to these challenges, including cooperative fault-tolerant and resilient control and estimation, detection of attacks and security metrics, watermarking and encrypted control, privacy and a novel defense approach based on deception. The book concludes by discussing risk management and cyber-insurance challenges in CPSs, and by presenting the future outlook for this area of research as a whole. Its wide-ranging collection of varied works in the emerging fields of security and privacy in networked control systems makes this book a benefit to both academic researchers and advanced practitioners interested in implementing diverse applications in the fields of IoT, cooperative autonomous vehicles and the smart cities of the future.

This book presents and describes the various uses of gastric bypass in bariatric and metabolic surgery and outlines the different techniques currently available. Furthermore, the possible complications with the procedure and ways to avoid them are also discussed. The use of the gastric bypass for the treatment of diabetes is emphasized and the new indications for the operative treatment of diabetes are featured in detail. Endoscopic uses concerning the gastric bypass are also addressed, covering preoperative evaluation, complications treatment, weight regain treatment and endoscopic treatment of obesity. The most advanced techniques and new technologies available for performing gastric bypass surgeries are presented in the most didactic possible way, making use of value-added learning features throughout the text. Gastric Bypass - Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Perspectives is intended as a practical guide for all those interested and involved with bariatric surgery, including general surgeons, bariatric surgeons, GI surgeons and surgery residents.
