The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two different daily doses of tetrahydrocannabivarin impregnated mouth strips in healthy non-diabetic obese adults. The main questions to answer are: - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is one dose better than the other dose? Participants will take either the low dose, high dose or placebo dose daily for ninety days and have physical measurements and blood tests obtained at the beginning and the end of the study.
The fact that changes in plantar pressure during walking and in a fixed position in morbidly obese individuals and the relationship between postural oscillations and balance have not been fully elucidated creates a need in this area. In this study, primary aim is to investigate the change in plantar foot pressure, balance parameters and the relationship between them in morbidly obese individuals compared to healthy individuals.
The limited number of studies on the effectiveness of physical activity incentive programs for morbidly obese individuals in the literature shows the need in this area. In this study, primary aim is to investigate the effect of physical activity incentive program applied through face-to-face and whatsapp-based applications on physical activity level, functional capacity and muscular endurance in morbidly obese individuals. Secondary aim is to provide individuals with exercise habits and to ensure participants' sustainability with the physical activity incentive program planned in line with the needs of the individual.
A quasi-experimental study developed in sedentary morbidly obese men and women (age 43.6±11.3 y; body mass index [BMI] ≥40 kg/m2) were assigned to a CT group of ET plus RT (ET+RT; n=19; BMI 47.8±16.7) or RT plus ET order group (RT+ET; n=17; BMI 43.0±8.0). Subjects of both groups received eight exercise sessions over four weeks. Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), mean arterial pressure [MAP], heart rate at rest [HR], and pulse pressure [PP] measurements before and after 10 minutes postexercise. Secondary outcomes were other anthropometric, body composition, metabolic, and physical condition parameters. Using the ∆SBP reduction, and quartile categorization (Q) in 'high' (Rs: quartile 4), 'moderate' (MRs: quartile 3), 'low' (LRs: quartile 2), and 'nonresponders' (NRs: quartile 1) were reported.
Macintosh laryngoscope is still considered a standard for tracheal intubation, however, visualization of the glottis may be inadequate mainly in morbidly obese patients. The Vie Scope is a novel type of laryngoscope consisting of a straight, shielded, illuminated tube that offers intubation via a bougie using the paraglossal technique. In this prospective, non-randomized study, we tested the research hypothesis that the use of Vie Scope may improve visualization of the larynx in comparison with the Macintosh blade.
Background: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an emerging type of bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS). Our study aimed to evaluate the short-term (≤30-day) postoperative safety of OAGB. Methods: Electronic medical records of all OAGBs performed between January 2017 and December 2021 at a high-volume bariatric center in Israel were scanned using the MDClone software. Data regarding patients' characteristics, surgical procedure, ≤30-day postoperative complications, and their classification according to Clavien-Dindo grade were gathered. Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors related to early postoperative complications after OAGB. Results: A total of 6,722 patients underwent a primary (74.1%) or revisional (25.9%) OAGB procedure at our institution during the study period. Their preoperative mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 40.6±11.5 years and 41.2±4.6 kg/m2, respectively, and 75.0% were females. Respective mean operating time and length of stay were 67.3±26.6 minutes and 2.2±1.4 days. Complications occurred in 258 patients (3.8%), and include mainly bleeding (n=133, 2.0%), leaks (n=32, 0.5%), and obstruction/strictures (n=19, 0.3%). According to Clavien-Dindo classification, complication rate for grades 1-2 and grades 3a-5 were 1.6%; and 1.4%, respectively. The mortality rate was 0.03% (n=2). The rate of readmission and reoperation were 1.9% and 0.9%, respectively. Age ≥60 years, ≥3 hours of operating room time, and cholecystectomy concomitant with OAGB were independent predictors of early post-OAGB complications. Conclusions: OAGB was found to be a safe primary and revisional BMS procedure in the ≤30-day postoperative term. The most common early complications were gastrointestinal bleeding (2.0%), leak (0.5%), and stricture (0.3%).
Indocyanine green (ICG) can be injected into the human bloodstream and it allows us to show stomach vascularity in real time
Sleeve gastrectomy is the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Postoperative pain management is a challenging issue. In this trial, the investigators aimed to explore the effects of laparoscopic guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on postoperative pain management in patient those were performed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Obesity is likely to be the disease of the 21th century. The growth of obesity is worldwide, a pandemic, and has increased globally in the last 30 years. Developed countries were more affected, but developing countries have increasingly contributed to this epidemic as they continue to modernize. The national and global burden of obesity, with its public health and financial implications, is projected to increase markedly in the next two decades. the study aimed to assess the effect of Vit D supplementation on preventing altered levels of calcium, Vit D, and parathormone after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
