Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate modifications in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and biosynthesis of the lipid mediators N-acylethanolamines (NAE), both known to induce and be induced by the nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α, which may also explain the well-established improved lipid and energy metabolism after bariatric surgery. The study is focused on understanding the weight loss mechanisms in order to develop targeted dietary protocols.
This study investigated whether focusing on one's body functionality (i.e., everything the body can do, rather than how it looks) would lead to improvements in body image, self-esteem, and self-kindness among women who have undergone bariatric surgery.
This study aimed to evaluate Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in the treatment of morbidly obese patients pre and post-operatively after 3 months, 6 months, and 1-year follow-up and assess the volumetric changes of the gastric reservoir 1 year after LSG using multi-slice computer tomography.
This study included patients who were admitted to investigators' center to do laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and complicated by gastro-cutaneous fistula . Cases were collected in the period from December 2019 to march 2021. The study was approved by the research and Ethics committee of investigators' University .a written informed consent was obtained from all participating patients after explaining to them all the study procedures with its benefits and hazards. the work has been carried out in accordance with the code of ethics of the world medical association ( Declaration of Helsinki ) for studies involving humans .the sample size was calculated using open Epi program using the following data ; confidence interval 95% , power of test 80% , ratio of unexposed/exposed 1, percent of patients with successful management of refractory gastro-cutaneous fistula by surgical intervention 50% and those with successful management by endoscopy 99% , odds ratio 99%, and risk ratio 2 , so the calculated sample size equal 30 patients divided into two equal groups. Group (1) included 15 patients managed by surgical intervention , group (2) included 15 patients managed by endoscopic intervention.
Introduction: Obesity is an increasingly serious public health problem on a global level. Gallstones may become symptomatic after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. There is a debate regarding concomitant cholecystectomy during bariatric surgery. Aim of the study: This study analyzed outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with and without concomitant laparoscopic cholecystectomy in morbid obese patients with gall bladder stones. Patients and methods: We conducted randomized clinical study on 222 patients. These patients were categorized into two equal groups (111 in each group) .Group A: underwent SG and concomitant laparoscopic cholecystectomy in morbid obese patient with evidence of gall bladder stone, Group B: SG only without concomitant LC inspite of evidence of gall bladder stone. This study was performed at single institution from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2019.
Following laparoscopic bariatric surgery, multimodal analgesia is recommended to avoid the adverse effects of opioids by reducing their use. Although lidocaine, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine have been used as adjuvant analgesics, no studies have evaluated the superiority of their intra- and postoperative infusions as components of multimodal analgesia in bariatric surgery. The present study is aimed to compare lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine in multimodal analgesia management following Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery. Postoperative pain scores, the requirement for additional postoperative analgesia, retching, nausea and vomiting, time to mobilization, and hospital length of stay will be evaluated.
This study included patients who were admitted to investigator's center to do laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy . Cases were collected in the period from December 2019 to December 2020. Sample size was 84 patients divided into 2 equal groups . Group 1: included 42 patients who were subjected to distal mesogastric fixation after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Group 2: included 42 patients who were subjected to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alone without distal mesogastric fixation.
Comorbidities associated with severe obesity determine an important public health problem. Few methods are considered potentially effective for the treatment of severe obesity and the clinical relevance of bariatric surgery is growing, as well as the number of procedures performed. The insertion of the physiotherapist in the multiprofessional team responsible for performing the surgical procedure is essential from the preoperative screening and evaluation to the prevention and treatment of postoperative complications. Therefore, the physiopathological aspects involved with severe obesity, the technical aspects and risks of the surgical procedure, as well as the physiotherapeutic techniques that have scientific proof must be known by the physiotherapist responsible for the surgical follow-up of the patient. In this context, the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the postoperative period of bariatric surgery has ample therapeutic potential. The present research project aims to evaluate the immediate prophylactic use of NIV on the respiratory and functional recovery of the patients.
Retrospective analysis of 100 morbidly obese patients who underwent a transit bipartition (TB) procedure ("Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal bypass") for inadequate weight loss or weight recidivism after a previous sleeve gastrectomy. Data were collected prospectively in strictly pseudonymous form. The primary endpoint of the study is weight loss at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after TB. A subgroup analysis evaluates the effect of the length of the common channel. Secondary endpoints include impact on obesity related comorbidities (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux) as well as safety.
Obesity is considered a chronic disease that increases the risk of developing diseases that reduce life expectancy. The treatment of obesity is complex. However, treatments based exclusively on dietary changes have not shown long-term efficacy especially in people with severe obesity. In contrast, in this group of people bariatric surgery (BS) has shown good long-term results in weight loss and maintenance. These changes are accompanied by significant improvements in health, improved quality of life, and reduced mortality. However, the changes in the digestive system created by BS and the high level of dietary restriction, affect the nutritional status and require a proper supplementation of vitamins and minerals during the follow-up. Intense weight loss during the first few months, coupled with an insufficient amount of protein in the diet, can lead to a loss of muscle mass. Excessive muscle loss during the short-term period can lead to functional repercussions (decreased strength and physical function) and reduced calories that the body burns daily. Naturally, this is especially important in people suffering from sarcopenia before BS, and it occurs more frequently in postmenopausal women. Despite this is known, specific protein intake recommendations after BS have not yet been defined based on scientific evidence. In this context, the first part of our proposal will assess the effect of two levels of protein supplementation: standard (S-PS) versus high (H-PS) on changes in a) body composition, b) energy expenditure, c) metabolic flexibility d) the physical condition during weight loss that follows BS. In addition, in patients with H-PS, the added effect of a physical exercise program, carried out with a personal trainer (professional of sports medicine trainer) virtually, will be evaluated. Protein supplementation and the virtual exercise program will be done during the 4 months following BS, and the results will be studied at 4, 8, and 12 months. Once the results have been defined, it is essential to transfer the recommendations to the real world. In a second part, and to achieve knowledge transfer to clinical practice, the investigators will explore the key elements that influence patient experience (XPA).
