Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to explore the longterm effects of two bariatric surgical procedures by inviting patients from three public hospitals who had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or Sleeve gastrectomy to a follow-up after10-15 years The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - The duration of the surgical method on weight reduction and remission of comorbidities - Theprevalence of complications and new morbidities after the surgical procedures Participants will be asked be asked to - fill inn questionnaires, - have a clinical examinition - have an interview with nurse and doctor - have blood samples taken - undergo other investigations
This is a prospective collection of data from adult patients who have had an endoscopic metabolic and bariatric endoscopy procedure (EMBT) for primary or revision surgical procedures for obesity.
General anesthesia and mechanical ventilation decrease pulmonar volume; attenuate small airway closure, atelectasis, and increase the rate of hypoxia and postoperative pulmonary complications. Lung volume in obese patients decreases inversely with the increase in body mass index. Obesity is associated with increased atelectasis, hypoxia and postoperative pulmonary complication rates during anesthesia . Alveolar recruitment maneuver is a technique where high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is applied for for short periods, follwed by a continuous PEEP appşication throughout surgery. This has become a standard practice during anesthesia in recent years. Oxygen reserve index (ORi) is an index measured with a non-invasive finger-tip sensor and shows the oxygen content of the venous blood. It is effective at high oxygen levels and may indicate the presence of hyperoxia. Our aim is to examine the effect of alveolar recruitment maneuver on oxygenation parameters under anesthesia and the correlation with ORi in morbidly obese patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Levita Dual Robotic Arm Accessory (DRAA) used with the Levita Magnetic Surgical System (MSS)
The objective of the study was to improve protein intake after the implementation of a dietary workshop performed on the 15th postoperative day following bariatric surgery.
Background/purpose: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been defined as an innovative surgical method for the treatment of obesity and is progressively applied worldwide. However, data on result of sleeve gastrectomy regarding energy-protein status, nutrient deficiencies and body composition are limited. The purpose of this study is to search nutritional status, body composition and biochemical parameters following LSG. Methods: Obese subjects (N:55) scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy were included. Macro-micronutrient intake analysis, biochemical blood parameters, and anthropometric measures were performed before and 1, 3 and 6 months after LSG.
Test compliance and gastrointestinal tolerance of a 30-day dose of potato starch in bariatric patients, and determine if short chain fatty acids, specifically butyrate, increase in response to the dosages of potato starch.
The worldwide obesity epidemic has led to an increase in the proportion of patients with chronic liver disease due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and in the prevalence of obesity in patients with cirrhosis of all etiologies. The reported prevalence of obesity in patients with cirrhosis is of 30% which appears similar to that of the general population. Bariatric surgery is currently considered as the most effective and durable means for the management of morbid obesity as it is associated with the remission and/or improvement of many obesity associated comorbidities as well as improved quality and expectancy of life. However, the surgical risk is increased compared to individuals without cirrhosis, and determining the risk/benefit ratio of bariatric surgery in the setting of cirrhosis is a complex task further hampered by the lack of randomized controlled trials. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample study reported a slightly increased rate of mortality of bariatric surgery in the setting of compensated cirrhosis compared to individuals without cirrhosis (0.9% vs 0.3%). Interestingly, this risk was as high as 16.3% in individuals with decompensated cirrhosis (16.3%). However, this study has been published more than 10 years ago and the mortality of bariatric surgery has decreased significantly and is around 0.1%. Furthermore, the introduction of transient elastography in clinical practice has allowed the early identification of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) at risk of developing clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH). A few series including a limited number of patients have been published indicating that CSPH should not be considered as a formal contraindication for bariatric surgery. This study is meant to assess the outcomes of bariatric surgery in patients with morbid obesity and compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) (currently synonymous of the term "compensated cirrhosis'') associated with clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) in a large multicentric, multinational series.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It is becoming clearer that heart failure (HF) is closely associated with body's metabolism. Even before the heart becomes weaker, it responds to the stresses by changing the fuels it burns, which results in a reduction in the heart's metabolic efficiency that worsens the heart's condition. Since the heart burns so much fuel and consumes fats and carbohydrates along with other available substrates, any changes in its metabolic efficiency could impact metabolism throughout the body. Specifically, HF is characterized by limited flexibility in substrate utilization leading to an overall energetic deficit. Such energetic deficit is associated with progressive remodeling and alter cardiac hemodynamics. For example, obesity is a widely known risk factor for cardiovascular disease likely lie in how the heart handles energy (substrate utilization and energetics). One commonly recommended treatment for cardiovascular disease, especially coronary artery disease (CAD) or congestive heart failure (CHF), is cardiac rehabilitation. Cardiac rehabilitation for symptomatic cardiovascular disease has been shown to promote a healthy lifestyle, improve physical health and reduce cardiovascular death iii with an apparent dose-dependent response. Participation results in a reduced risk of hospitalization and revascularization procedures, and improved functional status in randomized controlled trials. Thus, cardiac rehabilitation is recommended for individuals with symptomatic CAD or CHF by the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association. In addition, exercise training in preclinical animal models mirroring the exercise component of cardiac rehabilitation routines have shown increased myocardial regeneration and cardioprotective molecular effects ameliorating adverse myocardial remodeling. Despite these benefits, there is vast heterogeneity in the efficiency of cardiac rehabilitation on the individual level with large variances in improved exercise capacity and cardiac function recovery. Personalization of cardiac rehabilitation necessitates a non-invasive approach to monitor the direct beneficial effects on the heart and more ideally, predict efficacy at baseline. Taken together, understanding how metabolic interventions including bariatric surgery and cardiac rehabilitation change myocardial structure and function is critical for the prevention, diagnosis and prognosis for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Advanced cardiovascular imaging using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven to be effective in providing gold standard myocardial tissue characterization. Our team has developed novel cardiac MRI techniques that leverages endogenous tissue properties to reveal a milieu of deep tissue phenotypes including myocardial inflammation, fibrosis, metabolism, and microstructural defects. Among these phenotypes, myocardial microstructure has proven to be most sensitive to early myocardial tissue damage and is predictive of myocardial regeneration. In collaboration with cardiologists at Cleveland Clinic, the investigators aim to study how myocardial microstructure revealed by cardiac MRI changes cardiovascular disease patient population before and after metabolic interventions.
