Bariatric surgery: a practical pictorial guide for the diagnosis of common and rare complications with upper gastrointestinal imaging series

The aim of this educational poster is to illustrate the role of upper gastrointestinal series (UGS) in detecting the most common and some more rare complications in patients who underwent bariatric surgery procedures as \u2022 laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) placement, \u2022 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), \u2022 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Our centre (Radiology Unit - Department of Medicine - University Hospital of Padova, Italy) excels in the follow-up of patients who underwent bariatic surgery interventions (in the Week Surgery Unit of the same Hospital). For this reason, our database is rich in images of early and late complications, directly from our clinical practice. In this poster we are going to present, describe and comment the findings to the benefit of all radiologists, not just for those whose field of study is the gastro-intestinal radiology, adding some useful tips for conducting a good examination with high diagnostic relevance

Sarcopenia in juvenile localized scleroderma: new insights on deep involvement

Juvenile localized scleroderma (JLS) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease which can also affect bones and muscles. Nevertheless, muscle loss was not previously investigated in patients with JLS. Thus, the aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate deep involvement and assess and quantify sarcopenia in JLS patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
