Filter by:Rapid onset Obesity, Hypoventilation, Hypothalamic dysfunction and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD) is a syndrome named in 2007. The hallmark of the syndrome is the rapid onset obesity and dysregulation of central ventilation. There is little information about the metabolic changes that lead to the rapid onset obesity in these children. The investigators would like to study the metabolic phenotype of these children to understand the disturbances in energy balance that lead to the rapid onset obesity.
This study evaluates the omission of incentive spirometry use following bariatric surgery. Half of participants will receive an incentive spirometer while the other half will not. Oxygen saturation and pulmonary complications after surgery will be measured to examine the effectiveness of incentive spirometry.
Obesity is a major public health problem in developed and developing countries, causing a range of respiratory and metabolic changes. There is a strong correlation between obesity and cardiorespiratory sleep disorders. The weight loss reduces the comorbidities and improves the quality of life, but clinical treatment it is not effective for a long period. In this context, currently bariatric surgery is an option for the real weight loss in the long term. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical condition observed in patients with obesity. The primary aim of this protocol are to assess the inflammatory profile of severe obese patients undergone to bariatric surgery, through systemic and adipose markers of inflammation. A secondary objective is study the impact of this surgery on sleep variables and quality of life. Investigators hypothesized that weight loss induced by bariatric surgery reduces systemic inflammatory profile, improve sleep quality and quality of life of subjects with severe obesity. Will participate in this study, patients with severe obesity (BMI > 40 or 35 to 39.9 kg/m2 associated comorbidities), with indication of bariatric surgery, screened Bariatric Surgery Service of Santa Casa de São Paulo in São Paulo. Inclusion criteria are severely obese, bariatric surgery indication and agreement to participate in the study. Are excluded patients with BMI > 55 kg/m2, clinical instability, mental instability or significant and unrealistic expectations of surgery. Patients will be assessed before and after bariatric surgery, 90, 180 and 360 days. The evaluation protocol will consist of clinical history, vital signs, neck and waist circumference, clinical analysis of blood inflammatory markers, lung function tests, maximal ventilatory pressures, full overnight standard polysomnography, excessive daytime sleepiness scale, cardiovascular risk, quality of life and personal satisfaction questionnaires.
Risk factor of cholelithiasis is rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery and change in the gallbladder function which is secondary to surgery. Many observational studies support this fact, and a high incidence of 28% -71% after gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) was reported in them. According to another publication, the incidence of gallbladder diseases is 5-36% after jejunoileal bypass surgery and 2.8-36% after gastric bypass surgery.
The purpose of this study is to find out more about the safety and effectiveness of the Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication (LGCP) procedure in patients with obesity and related problems such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, mild obstructive sleep apnea, and joint problems. LGCP is a less invasive weight loss surgery procedure than some of the other weight loss surgeries and it is possible that there are fewer risks with this procedure than with the other weight loss surgeries. LGCP is considered an experimental procedure and this study is being done to look at the long-term outcomes.
The aim of this cohort is to evaluate the follow-up of morbidly obese patients treated by several types of bariatric procedures. In addition, this study could lead to the development of clinical trials on assessment of the bariatric surgery impact.
The study consists in determine the transpulmonary pressure in morbidly obesity patients that require mechanical ventilation. - both gender - only adults - Medical intensive care patients.
This study is a prospective evaluation of the relationship between lean body weight and anti-Xa activity and 5700 International Units (IU) nadroparin 4 hours after subcutaneous administration in morbidly obese patients after bariatric surgery.
Weight reducing surgery is the only effective therapy for morbid obese patients. Sleeve gastrectomy is a popular choice for bariatric surgery because of less sequela. There is poor knowledge about the nutritional status inpatients after LSG. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between dietary intake and weight loss after LSG.
Morbid Obesity (MO) is considered the most important epidemic in the developed world in the twenty-first century. After initial assessment of morbidly obese patients and the exclusion of potentially correctable causes, management involves a combination of dietary changes, cognitive therapy, physical activity, psychological support and pharmacological treatment. However, any combination of these factors has proven long-term effectiveness in achieving significant and sustained reduction of excess weight. Currently, surgery is the only treatment capable of achieving this goal, interacting also with significant improvement in quality of life and overall long-term mortality. In recent years, several authors have reported excellent short-term results with performing sleeve gastrectomy, but whether some aspects regarding the variability of gastric tubulization design could influence the results obtained in relation to weight loss and functional changes and gastric hormones. The main objective of this study is to assess the size of the gastric tubulization (based probe calibration and the distance from the pylorus to which initiate gastric section) that can provide a better clinical outcome (such as excess weight loss) in patients undergoing surgery for morbid obesity. Secondary objectives were to assess the morphological changes, physiological and hormonal obtained according to the size of the gastric tubulization and its effect on weight loss patients.
