Anisakiasis is caused by a fish parasite of the Nematode family. This kind of rare helminthozoonosis can mainly be found in countries where consumption of raw fish is traditionally high like Japan, the Netherlands, Pacific Islands, South Europe, Scandinavia, USA, and Canada. Man is the wrong hoste. Clinical manifestation depends on the localisation of penetration in the GI tract. In Japan, predomi...<br/><br/>C Kapral, M Haditsch, F Wewalka, W Schatzlmayr, K Lenz, H Auer (2009) <i>Z Gastroenterol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 47: 10 1059-1061<br/>

Intestinal shunting procedures followed by gastrointestinal bypass surgery have been used as therapeutic modalities in the treatment of morbid obesity since the mid 1950s. Enthusiasm reached its peak in the early 1960s with the introduction of the jejunoileal bypass, however began to wane as various complications were identified in the remote postoperative period and later.
