Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare two methods for managing obesity in rural primary care patients. The first method includes quarterly 1:1 meetings with the participant and their primary care provider and the second includes a group lifestyle intervention over Zoom paired with quarterly team meetings with the participant, their primary care provider and their lifestyle coach, the coach joining via Zoom. Investigators will evaluate which method is best at helping participants lose weight over 18 months.
In patients with severe obesity, bariatric surgery provides consistent and long-term weight loss. BMI ≥50kg / m2 is an independent factor of increased morbidity / mortality in bariatric surgery compared with patients weighing less than 50 kg / m2 (1.2% and 0.8%) mainly due to technical difficulties. Preoperative weight loss reduces this morbidity / mortality. Recent studies have shown that blocking blood vessels to a particular portion of the stomach (bariatric or left gastric artery embolization) can temporarily decrease levels of the appetite inducing hormone ghrelin, and result in weight loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the association bariatric embolization before sleeve gastrectomy in super obese patients.
The aim of the study was to observe the vidiac score values of only patients with obesity as a risk factor for difficult intubation. Secondly, it was aimed to evaluate the number of intubation attempts and intubation time, vidiac scores between obese and morbid obese patients and to reveal the differences, if any.
This prospective, multicenter, single-arm study is being conducted to confirm safety, effectiveness, and usability of da Vinci Surgical System in performing robotic-assisted surgical procedures.
SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway is a novel third generation supraglottic device allowing for continuous observation of entrance to larynx via inserted in special channel videoscope connected with cable with external monitor. In obese patients airway management can be difficult so use of new devices that improve safety and potentially efficacy of airway management is indicated. In prospective observational study the SaCo VLM will be evaluated in terms of maintaining airway patency and effectiveness of intubation through it's lumen in morbidly obese scheduled for elective general surgery under general anesthesia.
The goal of this Randomized Clinical trial is to to investigate if the use of Air Pressure Release Ventilation in morbidly obese patients undergoing open heart surgery will improve post operative pulmonary outcomes 60 Patients will be randomized into two groups according to the mode of ventilation used into: Group A: airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) group (30 Patients) Group B: Standard (control) group (30 Patients) Post-operatively, Patients will be ventilated with conventional Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) volume control mode
Obesity has become an important medical and social problem in western countries today. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the most commonly performed surgery for the treatment of morbid obesity in the United States. Recently, there has been a steady increase in the number of surgeons performing bariatric surgery. In 2008, approximately 344,000 bariatric procedures were performed worldwide, of which 220,000 were performed in the United States and Canada. Most of these surgeries were laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures. There are many technical variations in the performance of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, especially when the approach is laparoscopic. Three techniques are commonly used when creating a gastrojejunostomy (GJ): hand-sewn, linear-staple, and circular-staple approaches. The effect of larger-caliber gastrojejunostomy on long-term weight loss is worrisome. Numerous recent reports describe the relationship between gastrojejunostomy enlargement and weight gain after gastric bypass, suggesting that this is a potentially valid concern. In this study, we aim to determine the effect of this potential GJ enlargement on weight loss.
Obesity has become an important medical and social problem in western countries today. Although many surgical procedures are performed for obesity, Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most common bariatric procedure in obesity. The absence of digestive anastomosis, the absence of mesenteric defects that may cause internal hernias and foreign materials such as gastric band are among the advantages of this surgical method. Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease. Obesity is not a mental disorder, but is associated with serious serious conditions and increases the risk of mental disorders. The social label of obesity will have long-lasting devastating effects on mental health. In addition, obesity is associated with undesirable conditions; Misperception of dietary needs, self-perceived health status and potential social isolation, negative attitude towards appearance, aggression, depression, anxiety, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, behavioral problem, and bullying are some of the problems associated with obesity. Body changes are important in the experience of being different from their peers and can result in lowered self-esteem and be a barrier to social functioning. Studies on this condition have shown that obese subjects have poor social functioning and social skills. There are many factors that cause aggression, but obesity is one of them. Although there are many studies examining the relationship between overweight and aggression in children and adolescent patient groups, studies examining the adult patient group are limited. Starting from this point, we aimed to determine the change in aggression after weight loss in patients who underwent LSG surgery in the study we created.
Obesity is an important risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer. A large meta-analysis concluded that obesity is associated with a 20% to 40% increased risk for receptor-positive postmenopausal breast cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer working group on obesity and cancer risk drew similar conclusions. Obesity seems to have the opposite effect among premenopausal women, with most studies suggesting that higher BMI is associated with a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer. Determining whether deliberate weight loss is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer is difficult in part because sustained weight loss is difficult to achieve and few studies have sufficient statistical power to address this question. Bariatric surgery is one of the few weight loss interventions in which significant weight loss is maintained. A limited number of previous studies have suggested a reduced risk of cancer following bariatric surgery. Recently, it showed that bariatric surgery is associated with a lower risk of several types of cancer, including an approximately 40 % reduction in the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. However, whether bariatric surgery affects breast cancer risk in premenopausal women and whether this association is altered by estrogen receptor (ER) status has not been addressed. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and breast cancer.
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.
