Filter by:Obesity is a global public health problem. According to literature reports, as of 2016, China's obese population has reached more than 90 million and type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached more than 100 million, which has brought a serious health and economic burden to China. In addition to various health problems such as cardiovascular, osteoarthritis, and tumors, obesity can also cause abnormalities in reproductive endocrine. In women, it can cause abnormal menstruation, polycystic ovary syndrome, and male obesity can cause secondary gonadal. Hypofunction (MOSH). MOSH is an endocrine dysfunction. It is reported to have a prevalence of approximately 45% in moderate to severe obesity. In addition, studies have pointed out that the prevalence of hypogonadism in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity higher. However, there are no studies on the reproductive function of Chinese male patients after bariatric surgery. Pre- and post-operative semen will be collected for analysis to observe the effect of bariatric surgery on male reproductive function.
Obesity is a public health phenomenon affecting more than 17% of women in France, and more than 20% of men and women in Champagne-Ardenne. Obese women are more likely to have an unplanned pregnancy, whereas these pregnancies are more at risk than women of normal weight and should be planned or considered after weight loss. These women are also often less well followed in terms of gynecology and especially on contraception. More and more patients are opting for bariatric surgery. However, bariatric surgery is not trivial. Indeed, the important loss of weight expected is at risk of nutritional deficiencies. In addition, a large number of patients are still obese during the months following surgery. This is why pregnancy is theoretically contraindicated within 12 or 18 months postoperatively. Women with bariatric surgery must have been properly informed of these risks so that they can choose a contraceptive method, and that can be adapted to both their risk factors and the surgical technique performed.
It has been shown to date that obesity is associated with increased mortality and that weight loss significantly improves cardiovascular risk factors. Among patients receiving bariatric surgery, 30-90% have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. Given the strong associations between OSA and cardiometabolic comorbidities, this project is based on the hypothesis of a lower improvement of cardiovascular risk factors and a higher number of post-surgical complications in OSAS patients.
This prospective, single arm, longitudinal study aims to assess the effect of bariatric surgery on glucose metabolism and kidney function.
This research will study the bone fragility in obese patients, on DXA and CT-scan, in a transversal study. The investigators want also to study the specific risk factors of bone fragility in these obese patients (relationship between body composition on whole body on DXA, fat mass and its location, lean mass, weight loss after surgery and SBAC-L1), to improve the bone screening.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the US, and obese women have a 20% to 40% increase in the risk of developing breast cancer compared with normal-weight women. Bariatric surgery is now considered the first line option for weight loss management in morbidly obese patients with failure of medical treatment. There is strong evidence that in early stages of cancer the breast undergoes inflammatory and subsequently density changes that are observable in mammography. The aforementioned alterations have been suggested to be magnified by obesity, potentially due to its pro-inflammatory state. The investigators hypothesized that rapid weight loss following bariatric surgery and henceforth the reduction of inflammatory stress in the breast tissue could potentially have a positive effect in improving breast density and consequently, reducing the risk of breast cancer. In this order of ideas, with this study, the investigators aim to evaluate how breast density is modified after bariatric surgery, and how it impacts the risk of developing breast cancer using The Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) risk score and calculator in our population.
This study represents a 3-arm, randomized controlled trial to investigate the impact of a validated 10-minute mindfulness intervention delivered via mobile technology on postoperative bariatric patients. The investigators hypothesize that participation in a brief, daily mindfulness intervention will improve outcomes in bariatric patients and use of mobile technology will facilitate patient compliance.
Obesity is a growing epidemic and bariatric surgery has been shown to be the most effective and efficient mean of achieving significant and sustainable weight loss in morbidly obese individuals. Studies have demonstrated that after LSG, between 5 and 30% of patients suffered from GERD, with a small subset of those patients (2.9 %) converting to another bariatric procedure (gastric bypass) because of debilitating GERD symptoms. The investigators propose this current study to examine mucosal impedance before and after sleeve gastrectomy using the novel mucosal impedance procedure, as well as assess quality of life and GERD symptoms parameters. In addition, this study will determine if the level of mucosal impedance pre-sleeve gastrectomy may predict the development of GERD post-surgery. Our Hypothesis is that sleeve gastrectomy is highly associated with the risk of developing new onset GERD. This is a prospective, comparative cohort study. A total of 15 obese patients (BMI ≥ 35) undergoing sleeve gastrectomy by choice will be recruited into the study from our bariatric and weight management program. An initial screening upper endoscopy will be performed as part of pre-bariatric evaluation, during which mucosal impedance will be performed with the consent of the patient. Patients with evidence of erosive esophagitis (LA grade A-D), Barrett's esophagus or eosinophilic esophagitis will be excluded from the study. As per surgical recommendation, PPI will be used for 6 months in all bariatric patients. Six months post-surgery, study patients will be re-evaluated by the GERD symptoms Checklist and SF 36. In addition, their new BMI will be documented. PPI will be held for at least 1 week and a 6 months post-surgical upper endoscopy will be performed to determine the presence or absence of erosive esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus. In addition, esophageal mucosal impedance will be reassessed.
In this study, our primary aim is; investigate the effect of aerobic dance based exercise program on lower extremity functions (walking, stair stroke climbing, etc.) in obese individuals awaiting bariatric surgery.
The goal of this study is two part: 1) to add to the literature which is still somewhat sparse with numbers of patients undergoing the Single Anastomosis Duodenal Ileal Bypass (SADI) as a revision for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and 2) to have a treatment option for our Kaiser Permanente patients who seek additional assistance after a LSG with persistent morbid obesity and the comorbidities that come with it.
