Filter by:Introduction: There are indications that the absorption of oral iron supplementation is reduced after a Roux- en -Y gastric bypass. Nevertheless, oral preparations are used as standard therapy for iron deficiency, even in patients who underwent a Roux- en -Y gastric bypass. Our goal is to evaluate if iron absorption is disturbed after a RYGB, which leads to a insufficient treatment of oral iron suppletion. Methods: an iron absorption test will be performed pre- and postoperatively in 24 patients. Two groups will be created. Preoperatively group 1 receives a daily dose of ferrous fumarate (600mg) and group 2 receives a daily dose Losferron (1390mg). Before intake of the medicines, a fasting blood sample is taken (baseline), serum iron including ferritin, transferrin and transferrin saturation will be measured. After intake of losferron/ferrous fumarate blood samples will be taken 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after intake, using a drip. An increase of 80 microgram/l is representative for a sufficient iron absorption. All patients undergo a Roux- en -Y gastric bypass. Postoperatively; one month postoperatively the same absorption test will be repeated in the same patients.
The sympathetic nervous (SNS) and the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAS) have a direct impact on renal hemodynamic, hormonal secretion and vasoactive peptide. Many mechanisms including the SNS, RAS and renal sodium handling could explain the pathogenesis of hypertension in obese patients. Lifestyle changes and bariatric surgery induce weight loss, which is associated with blood pressure lowering in obese patients. A diminution in the renal sympathetic stimulation and RAS activation could explain this effect. The AIM of this study is to show that weight loss induced by bypass surgery in obese patients affects renal salt excretion under " low body negative pressure (LBNP)" conditions . Secondary objectives are to investigate the impact of weight loss on renal hemodynamic (glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow) and neurohormonal responses under " low body negative pressure conditions ". We will also analyse renal blood oxygenation with Blood Oxygenation dependant IRM (BOLD-IRM) technique before and after weight loss. The population of this study will consist in two groups including 36 patients. The first one will include 24 obese patients that are going to undergo a bariatric surgery. The second one will include 12 obese patients without any weight loss associated surgery. Both group will undergo 3 investigation days. Each patient will have to undergo a screening visit that will provide dietary advice to ensure a standardized salt intake (120-180 mmol/day) for the duration of the study. The first investigation will define baseline, the second and third day of investigation will take place after 3 month and 12 month after bariatric surgery for surgical patients or after baseline for patients without surgery. One to two weeks before phase 1 and 3 patients will perform a BOLD-MRI. The surgery group will undergo bariatric surgery between the first investigation phase (baseline) and the second. An ambulatory blood pressure and 24-hour urine collection will precede each investigation day. An investigation day consists in renal hemodynamics, neurohormonal and natriuretic response measurements before, during and after 60 min of LBNP at -30mbar . The duration of the study per subject is going to take 12 months.
There is a marked and long-lasting improvement in glucose homeostasis that follows Roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) in humans. This improvement has been attributed in large part to an intestinal hormone, called GLP-1, that is released into the circulation immediately after eating. The purpose of this study is to determine if GLP-1 mediates the beneficial effects of RYGB surgery on glucose homeostasis in humans.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether deep neuromuscular blockade compared to moderate neuromuscular blockade may improve the surgical conditions in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to examine how physical activity and lifestyle factors influence postoperative recovery and postoperative complications after bariatric surgery. The hypothesis is that physically active people, with a healthy alcohol consumption and non smokers have shorter lengths of hospital stay, shorter sick-leave, fewer re-hospitalizations and fewer re-operations, fewer complications as well as a faster recovery after a surgical procedure. The investigators also hypothesize that possible risk factors for non-surgical postoperative complications e g abdominal discomfort are also life-style related factors such as smoking, high alcohol consumption, low level of physical activity, as well as other risk factors such as prior frequent abdominal pains (e g irritable bowel syndrome symptoms), high levels of anxiety and/or depression, difficulties with coping with the changed food intake regimen after obesity surgery, and generally high sensitivity for painful-sensations and nausea. First aim of this study is to investigate how life style factors prior to obesity surgery are related to hospital stay, sick-leave, immediate postoperative complication rates and the rate of resumption of QoL and normal physical function. The second aim of the study is to identify risk factors for the development of chronic abdominal discomfort and dumping symptoms after obesity surgery.
Obesity is a growing epidemic throughout the world and is followed by increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes that accounts for 90-95% of all cases of diabetes. Weight loss is a major objective, although difficult to achieve with medical treatments. Many recent studies demonstrated that bariatric surgery has the potency to achieve marked and sustained weight loss, and is also associated with a significant improvement in control of type 2 diabetes. The principal aim of this study is to compare two types of bariatric procedures, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The study hypothesis is that these procedures have equal efficacy with regard to resolution of type 2 diabetes.
This study will compare accuracy of a newly developed monitor for continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (CNAP™ Monitor 500; CNSystems Medizintechnik AG, Graz, Austria) that provides beat-to-beat BP readings with two of the current and more commonly used intermittently oscillometric non-invasive blood pressure device (NIBP), and the invasive arterial line (IBP).
During minimally invasive surgery, a pneumoperitoneum is created to facilitate surgical visualization. Although effective in facilitating the procedure, there are respiratory consequences of the pneumoperitoneum, which significantly increases intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) up to 20 cmH2O. The increased IAP can decrease functional residual capacity and increase closing capacity resulting in increased resistance, decreased compliance, and increased ventilation-perfusion mismatch. In a randomized, cross-over design, this study will evaluate in sequential order, 3 modes of ventilation during laparoscopic bariatric surgery to determine which is better able to support oxygenation and ventilation while limiting the peak inflating pressure (PIP).
Vitamin D deficiency is common after bariatric surgery. This study is designed to determine if a high dose monthly supplement of vitamin D 3 will be effective in helping improve vitamin D status after surgery such as gastric bypass. Bariatric surgery subjects taking monthly high dose cholecalciferol supplements in addition to the standard vitamin D protocol will have a significant rise in serum vitamin D levels compared to the subjects taking only the usual vitamin D protocol.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a significant and predictable change in bioavailability of extended-release venlafaxine occurs following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
