Filter by: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.
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.
In the current work, we aim to perform a prospective study that will investigate the relationship between maternal obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2) and morbid obesity (BMI >35 kg/m2) with a late GDM diagnosis (>32 weeks), with an emphasis on obstetric and neonatal outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) changes in terms of steatosis and elasticity in patients with morbid obesity 1, 3 and 5 years after bariatric surgery. In addition, genomics, microbiome and metabolomics analyses will be carried out.
Adult obesity is due to an excess of body fat. This corresponds to all the fat in the body (or adipose tissue). It is opposed to the lean mass which corresponds to the weight of muscles, organs and viscera. It is defined from the body mass index (or BMI). BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight by their height squared. According to these criteria, the prevalence of obesity has reached 17% of the entire adult population in mainland France (ESTENBAN 2015 study). The prevalence figures for obesity in the French overseas departments are higher than in mainland France. The latest epidemiological data available in Martinique and Guadeloupe (KANNARI 2015 study) show that approximately 60% of the adult population is overweight and 25% of the adult population is obese. Obesity is considered a chronic disease that increases the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic complications all the more when patients have a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2, defining severe obesity. When BMI is equal to or exceeds 40 kg/m2, obesity is said to be "morbid" and the risk of cardiovascular complications increases by about 100% to 400% depending on the type of complications. The risk of mortality increases by 50 to 100% compared to the normal weight population. Obesity and inflammation Adipose tissue accumulates around the abdominal viscera after the fat storage capacity of the subcutaneous territories has been reached. The accumulation of visceral fat is accompanied by a low-grade inflammatory response that is responsible for the secretion of lipid derivatives and mediators toxic to the cardiovascular system and insulin sensitivity. The inflammatory response is characterized by the expression of numerous pro-inflammatory molecules synthesized by adipocytes and immunocompetent single-macrophage cells infiltrating the vascular stroma of adipose tissue. In addition, hyperglycemia and excess lipid intermediates cause the assembly of inflammasomes in the cytosol. Among them, the NLRP3 inflammasome involved in multiple human inflammatory pathologies. Inflammation opposes weight loss, hence the need to reduce the inflammatory response to facilitate weight loss in obese people. Pigeon pea, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, is a legume found in Creole gardens and traditionally eaten at Christmas. The OBESICA study aims at studying the interest of consuming pigeon pea associated with regular physical activity on the inflammatory state of the body and weight loss in obese patients.
The pilot study will be a First In Human Clinical Trial to evaluate the Endolumik Gastric Calibration Tube and associated methods in a human clinical cohort of 20-30 bariatric patients at two high-volume bariatric programs. During this clinical study, the single-use, disposable Endolumik Gastric Calibration Tube will be used during twenty sleeve gastrectomy operations and gastric bypass operations.
The aim of this study was to compare maternal, clinical and ultrasound estimations of fetal weight in women with severe (BMI>35) and morbid (BMI>40) obesity and to determine the effect of maternal body mass index (BMI) on these estimations.
The present study relates to apparatus and methods that can be applied using non-invasive techniques for effectively reducing nutrient absorption in the small intestines of obese people.
