BACKGROUND Despite growing evidence that bariatric/metabolic surgery powerfully improves type 2 diabetes (T2D), existing treatment algorithms do not include surgical options. AIM The 2nd Diabetes Surgery Summit (DSS-II), an international consensus conference, was convened in collaboration with leading organizations to develop global guidelines inform clinicians and policymakers about benefits limitations of metabolic for T2D. METHODS A multidisciplinary group 48 clinicians/scholars (75%...

<h3>Importance</h3>Controlling glycemia, blood pressure, and cholesterol is important for patients with diabetes. How best to achieve this goal unknown.<h3>Objective</h3>To compare Roux-en-Y gastric bypass lifestyle intensive medical management control of comorbid risk factors.<h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3>A 12-month, 2-group unblinded randomized trial at 4 teaching hospitals in the United States Taiwan involving 120 participants who had a hemoglobin A<sub>1c</sub> (HbA<sub>1c</sub>)...

In Brief Objectives: This prospective, randomized trial compared the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) mini-gastric (LMGBP) in treatment morbid obesity. Summary Background Data: LRYGBP has been gold standard for While LMGBP reported to be a simple effective treatment, data from are lacking. Methods: Eighty patients who met NIH criteria were recruited receive either (n = 40) or 40). The minimum postoperative follow-up was 2 years (mean, 31.3 months)....

Abstract Objective: Hypoadiponectin has been documented in subjects with obesity, diabetes mellitus, or coronary heart disease, suggesting a potential use of plasma adiponectin following the clinical progress metabolic syndrome (MS). In this study, we investigated levels relation to variables MS among overweight/obese Asian subjects. Research Methods and Procedures: The adiponectin, anthropometric biochemical measurements, oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), modified insulin suppression...

To find clinically meaningful preoperative predictors of diabetes remission and conversely inadequate glycemic control after gastric bypass surgery. Predicting the improvement in those with type 2 bariatric surgery may help patient selection.Preoperative details 154 ethnic Chinese subjects were examined for their influence on outcomes at 1 year bypass. Remission was defined as HbA(1c) ≤6%. Analysis involved binary logistic regression to identify provide equations receiver operating...

Abstract Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is widely considered the most effective option for treating obesity, a chronic, relapsing, progressive disease. Recently, American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) International Federation Obesity Disorders (IFSO) issued new guidelines on indications MBS, which have superseded previous 1991 National Institutes Health guidelines. The aim this study to establish first set consensus selecting procedures in Class I II using an Expert Modified...
