Between February 1995 and April 1997 we performed BPD by Scopinaro's method on 50 patients with morbid obesity (23 males), average age 41.4 years (range 20-63 years), average body weight 135.08 kg (range 89-256 kg), mean body mass index (BMI) 50.65 kg/m 2 (range 37.01-81.56 kg/m...
Obesity is considered a chronic disease, difficult to treat, and is the first cause of death in the world that is predictable. The surgical approach is limited to patients with severe obesity but there is an intermediate group who are not candidates for
Methods Retrospective review of robotic hysterectomy for endometrial pathology in patients with high BMI (obesity and morbid obesity). Prospective data collection as part of mandatory audit of robotic implementation collected on predesigned pro forma. Study involves demographics, age, diagnosis, ASA...
Because these patients had a BMI of around 28 kg m−2, it is possible that obesity-related factors may have caused these results. Moreover, another study found increased expression of MRP3 protein in post-mortem biopsy samples of critically ill patients in an ICU [37]. Similar results on...
Four patients with super super obesity (body mass index (BMI) > 60 kg/m 2 underwent longitudinal or "sleeve" gastrectomy. Their average preoperative weight was 173 kg (range: 147-190kg) and mean BMI 65 kg/m 2 (range: 61-67 kg/m 2. The average post-operative follow-up was 6 ...
(BMI)> 40)] and healthy, non-obese (BMI < 30) subjects.In the morbidly obese versus control subjects, respectively, the single-dose median oseltamivir oral clearance (CL/F) [840 (range 720-1640) L/h versus 580 (470-1800) L/h] was higher, the area under the curve from time zero ...
Methods Prospectively collected data of 228 patients (145 females and 83 males), who underwent LSG for morbid obesity, from February 2007 to March 2012, was retrospectively analyzed. Results The mean age was 34.68years (range, 18–62years) and the mean preoperative body mass index (BMI) was ...
Morbid obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m2, affects approximately 8% of United States adults and is a recognized risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). We present the first focused biopsy-based study exploring the range of kidney diseases in this population. Among ...
The Laval Questionnaire is a valid measure of health-related quality of life in patients with morbid obesity and is responsive to treatment-induced changes.Background Obesity is defined by a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2; when the BMI is greater than 40 kg/m2, obesity is mo...
Optimal weight loss was reached after a follow-up of 12 months: the mean BMI was 31 ± 5 kg/m and %EWL 70 ± 21%. A progressive weight regain was observed over time. With a median follow-up of 11 years (range 7–12), the mean BMI and %EWL were respectively 36 ± 8 kg/m (...
