Bariatric Surgery
Abstract
Existing evidence of the survival associated with bariatric surgery is based on cohort studies of predominantly younger women with a low inherent obesity-related mortality risk. The association of survival and bariatric surgery for older men is less clear.
To determin...

Abstract
We found the prevalence of asthma to be high in this group of obese adults. Asthma was more common in females, and the initial manifestation of asthma symptoms more commonly occurred during childhood/adolescence. The severity of asthma in this group of obese adults was within the range of mean value...

Abstract
Bariatric patients often encounter challenging physical environments and sometimes encounter negative attitudes from health professionals when seeking care. Most facilities have the basic equipment needed to care for these patients. Using ceiling lifts or limb slings to facilitate repositioning or t...

Abstract
In the obese patient, the goal of postoperative pain management is provision of comfort, early mobilisation and improved respiratory function without causing inadequate sedation and respiratory compromise. The pathophysiology of obesity, typical co-morbidities and the high prevalence of obstructive s...

Abstract
We estimate the economic effect of the clinical benefits of bariatric surgery for diabetes patients with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m². Using an administrative claims database of privately insured patients covering 8.5 million lives 1999-2007, we identify obese patients with diabetes, aged 18-65 years, who were...

Abstract
Diagnosis is based on body mass index and waist circumference. The aim of treatment is to prevent and alleviate obesity comorbidities (e.g. type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, sleep apnoea and osteoarthritis) through a permanent weight reduction of at least 5%. The core element...

Abstract
We found a small, but statistically significant, difference in the BDI-II scores at time 1, with bariatric candidates reporting greater depressive symptoms (mean 16.6 ± 12.9) than the comparators (mean 10.6 ± 9.0; P < .05). No difference was seen in the BDI-II scores between the bariatric candidat...

Morbid obesity is a global health epidemic. As the prevalence of bariatric surgery rises, it becomes increasingly important for gastroenterologists to understand their role in the perioperative care of bariatric surgical patients, to recognize potential complications of surgery that can be addressed...

Abstract
Bariatric operations are increasingly being used to induce weight loss and ameliorate or cure most of the morbidities that accompany obesity. These procedures not only produce substantial weight loss (>50% body weight), but they cure or ameliorate the comorbidities (diabetes type 2, hypertension, sl...

Abstract
During recent years, obesity has emerged as a major public health problem in the world. It is generally agreed that non-surgical therapies do not solve the problem of morbid obesity (BMI > or =35 kg/m). Therefore, bariatric surgery has been frequently performed for treatments of morbid obesity in Am...

Abstract
Obesity is a growing problem. In England in 2008, 66% of men and 57% of women had a BMI >25 kg/m2; within this 24% of men and 25% of women were obese with a BMI >30 kg/m2. Obesity is a major contributing cause of disease. The relative risk (RR) of diabetes in overweight men is 2.40 and in obese men...

Following weight loss, as reflected by reduced BMI (54 +/- 9 vs. 37 +/- 9 kg/m2; P < 0.001), features of the metabolic syndrome, grade and stage of liver disease, and liver histology were all significantly improved (P < 0.01).

Even though parameters of obesity, including BMI and body composition, plateau, the benefits of bariatric surgery on systemic metabolism and left ventricular mass are sustained. We propose that the progressive decrease of left ventricular mass after weight loss surgery is regulated by neurohumoral f...

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the most durable intervention for severe obesity. Appropriate candidates for surgery include those with a body mass index over 40 kg/m(2), or those with a BMI over 35 kg/m(2) who also have weight-related comorbidities. Bariatric procedures are categorized as restrictive, where f...

Abstract
The previously published factor analysis in bariatric candidates by Munoz et al. was a poor fit to the data, and use of this factor structure should be seriously reconsidered within the obese population. The hypothesised model was the best fit to the data. The findings of the study suggest that the...
