question:
Question: Is a high body mass index in esophageal cancer patients associated with adverse outcomes following esophagectomy?
Answer: A high BMI is not associated with increased overall morbidity following esophagectomy; moreover, it is associated with decreased incidence of chylothorax. The better overall survival in patients with high BMI compared with those with low BMI might be due to a relatively low pathological stage. A high BMI should therefore not be a relative contraindication for esophagectomy.
answer:
no


question:
Question: Is cytosine deamination a major cause of baseline noise in next-generation sequencing?
Answer: Baseline noise during NGS is mostly due to cytosine deamination, the source of which is likely to be both biologic and an artifact of thermocycling, and it can be reduced by UNG pretreatment.
answer:
yes


question:
Question: Is fixation of the access-port required in gastric banding?
Answer: This study shows non-fixation of the access-port to be safe and effective with good patient acceptability. In addition, it avoids the need for regular X-ray localization of the port.
answer:

no
