Filter by:In this study the Authors assume that peri-operative changes in DIA are predictive of postoperative atelectasis, thus providing a clinically useful tool to stratify the need for high-intensity monitoring, including admission to intensive care. Aim of this prospective observational study, in obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, is to evaluate the relationship between pre to postoperative changes in US-DIA and PaO2/FiO2.
This experiment is based on a unique technique of deep Transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) of the brain's cortex, aiming to produce weight loss in food-addicted severely obese adults.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of oral glycine supplementation on plasma glycine concentration, intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentration, plasma acylglycine concentration, urine acylglycine concentration, and insulin resistance in subjects with morbid obesity. This is an open-labelled trial. 20 adults with morbid obesity will be recruited. Following screening and baseline metabolic evaluations, eligible subjects will be given oral glycine supplements for 14 ± 5 days. Upon completing glycine supplementation, subjects will return for their post-supplement metabolic assessment. The investigators hypothesize that oral glycine supplementation in morbidly obese patients normalizes plasma glycine concentration, increases intracellular GSH concentration, increases plasma and urinary acylglycine concentration, and improves insulin resistance.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting are common occurrences following bariatric surgery, occurring in up to 80% of patients and contributing to increased healthcare utilization and delays in discharge. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a high-protein liquid diet on postoperative nausea, vomiting, and length of stay after laparoscopic or robotic sleeve gastrectomy.
Morbid or severe obesity is a chronic pathology of multifactorial etiology that affects 4.3% of the French population. In these patients, eating disorders are frequent and must be managed as they are considered risk factors with poorer weight prognosis and lower quality of life. Some authors have proposed that the concept of food addiction (i.e., the existence of an addiction to certain foods rich in sugar, fat and/or salt) may make it possible to identify, among obese patients, a subgroup of patients that is more homogeneous in terms of diagnosis and prognosis. Food addiction is common in obese patients and is associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, impulsivity, emotional eating and poorer quality of life. Nevertheless, we do not know the impact of managing this addiction on the future of these patients (food addiction, weight, comorbidities, quality of life). Telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (Tele-CBT) is a treatment of choice for addictions, but there are inequalities in access to this treatment (distance between home and hospital, limited local resources of caregivers, constraints in patient availability) which require the therapeutic framework to be adapted to these constraints. A short Tele-CBT program has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing bulimic hyperphagia in these patients (Cassin et al. 2016), but its effectiveness on food addiction, Body Mass Index and the evolution of metabolic complications related to obesity is still unknown. The evaluation of this program was limited to 6 weeks (American study), and we do not know if these results can also be extrapolated to France. The main hypothesis of this study is that in patients suffering from severe or morbid obesity and with food addiction, the performance of tele-CBT (intervention group: 12 sessions for 18 weeks) will be accompanied by a significant medium-term decrease in the prevalence of food addiction compared to usual management (control group).
This study is a longitudinal clinical trial designed to assess the feasibility of sleep intervention (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)) in individuals with insomnia following bariatric surgery.
To compare shorttime (6 months) results of two competitive suture materials with regard to time demanded to perform the concerned surgical step and secondary to study anastomotic site safety and complications like leakage and hemorrhage as well as development of anastomotic strictures. Evaluation of cost-effectiveness.
A Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) is on the long term not always successful in every patient because weight regain can occur. An intervention to prevent weight regain in the future is to place a silicone band (non-adjustable) around the sleeve (Banded-Sleeve Gastrectomy: BSG) which increases weight loss and decreases weight regain on the longer term. The question is whether primary application of a banded sleeve gives a greater weight loss and / or prevent weight regain in the future versus a standard sleeve gastrectomy.
This is a 12-month, single center, three-arm parallel design, double-blind, randomized clinical trial, to compare the effects of supplemental dietary fiber and metformin (MET) alone and in combination over 12 months on glucose metabolism (insulin resistance [IR]), inflammation and BMI in adolescents with obesity and IR, and to assess the relationship between therapeutic intervention(s) and changes in gut microbiome composition and function. Since MET and FIBER have been shown to reduce weight and increase insulin sensitivity through distinct but overlapping mechanisms of action, our central hypothesis is that the combination of FIBER + MET will have a synergistic effect and be more effective than FIBER or MET alone in improving metabolic function (IR) and reducing BMI and inflammation in adolescents with obesity, IR and family history (FM) of T2DM. .
