Filter by:Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment to achieve type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) remission in patients with severe obesity. However, there is little evidence of the effectiveness and pathophysiological mechanisms involved in metabolic improvement after hypoabsortive tecniques such as duodenal switch (DS), single anastomosis duodenal switch (SADI-S) or minigastric bypass (MGB). We have designed a randomized study to compare type 2 diabetes remission after the 3 bariatric procedures in patients with severe obesity (BMI > 45kg/m2) and to study the implication of gastrointestinal hormones, bile acids and gut microbiota in metabolic improvement in each procedure.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of the progressive relaxation exercises in perioperative bariatric surgery patient care. The investigators know that the preoperative anxiety is an important factor that affects acute postoperative pain experience. Additionally, the investigators know that there is a relationship between preoperative anxiety and moderate to severe pain in the first 12 hours postoperatively, and this is also true for patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does preoperative anxiety level of patient who will undergo bariatric surgery and who are applied progressive relaxation exercises is lower than those who did not apply exercise? - Does postoperative pain level of patient who underwent bariatric surgery and applied progressive relaxation exercises was lower than patients who did not apply exercise? Participants will be randomly split into two groups and one of the groups of participants will learn how to do progressive relaxation exercises preoperatively and the other group will learn nothing. Then at the time of the surgery, all participants will fill a survey preoperatively to analyze participants' anxiety level in each group and the investigators will collect data about participants' pain level postoperatively. Researchers will compare these data whether there is an effect of the progressive relaxation exercises on preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain or not.
Emerging evidence suggests that dietary and metabolic interventions could potentially target prevention and supportive therapies as well as treatments that may slow the clinical deterioration of neurodegenerative disorders. Though certain dietary patterns can impair specific cognitive domains, e.g., declines in reasoning and global cognition, there is still no consensus on the optimal diet to maintain brain health. Studies have also shown an association between the gut microbiome and neurocognition, as the microbiota can affect neuronal function through neurotransmitters and neuroactive microbial metabolites. Furthermore, studies indicate that diet may strongly influence the gut microbiota. However, the mechanisms for these complex relationships are still poorly understood. Bariatric procedures [i.e., weight loss surgeries] create a unique environment, in which a fast change in gut microbiota composition and dietary patterns occurs through surgery-induced intestinal and metabolic modifications, leading to changes in gut-brain communication. Interestingly, improvements in neurocognitive domains including memory and executive function have been reported post-bariatric surgery. However, there is large variability in these outcomes, indicating that the benefits are not universal. The goal of the current study is to explore the associations between dietary patterns and gut microbiota with cognition and brain structure, using bariatric surgery as an efficient naturalistic experimental design. This project will also explore potential mediators of diet-microbiome alterations as they relate to improvements in brain function and structure. A total of 120 adult patients (> 30y yrs.) scheduled to undergo a first bariatric surgery along with 60 age-, sex-, and BMI-matched waitlist control group will be recruited from the bariatric surgery clinic at the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l'Île-de-Montréal. These individuals will undergo assessments 3 months before surgery, as well as 6- and 12-months post-surgery, or an equivalent time for those on the waitlist. This study will also include 60 age-and sex-matched individuals who are not eligible for bariatric surgery as an additional healthy Canadian comparison group (only one assessment time point). Assessments taken during the data collection period will include: self-report information [e.g., sociodemographic and background information, health and diet behaviours]; information from medical records [e.g., medications usage, peri- and post-surgical complications, etc.]; physiological measures [i.e., blood, urine and fecal samples collection]; cognitive assessment [i.e., neuropsychological tests battery]; and brain imaging [i.e., structural MRI]. Collectively, this study is designed to provide critical information about potential individually targeted diet-based preventative strategies to reduce the development and progression of neurodegenerative disorders. Moreover, this project will explore potential mediators of diet-microbiome alterations as they relate to improvements in brain function and structure, and as such, it will provide essential information on key mechanisms, stimulating further research and the creation of parallel non-dietary therapeutic options.
Study is designed to screen psychological cognitive baseline and retention/improvement after weight loss surgery.
The long-term goal is to understand the mechanisms of intestinal nutrient sensing and signal relays to insulin sensitive tissues (adipose, skeletal muscle, liver) in humans. The investigators hypothesize that human tissue biopsies (from obese surgery and non-surgery subjects as well as lean controls) can be used to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying intestinal nutrient sensing and signal relay in humans. The investigator will obtain tissue specimens from patients during scheduled upper endoscopies, colonoscopies and scheduled metabolic and bariatric surgeries or liver transplantation. A blood sample (4mL) will be obtained concurrent with these procedures. From metabolic and bariatric surgery subjects blood and tissues (liver, adipose, small intestine, omentum, skeletal muscle) can be collected at the time of surgery. From liver transplantation patients, excised liver tissue will be collected. Stool can be obtained preoperatively and at various time points after surgery. Some bariatric surgery subjects will participate in a mixed-meal tolerance test at their pre-operative visit and several post-operative visits to compare the whole-body metabolic alterations following bariatric procedures.
The aim of this study was to evaluate an effect of pre - incisional single injection of low-dose ketamine on postoperative pain after remifentanil infusion in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass and gastric plication surgery. Ketamine is an old general anaesthetic. Low doses of it might be used as a adjunct in postoperative analgesia.The investigators expect that the low-dose ketamine reduces postoperative pain after bariatric surgeries.
This study evaluates if measuring resting metabolic rate (the number of calories the body burns at rest) before surgery can help predict successful weight loss after surgery.
