Objective . Robot-assisted sleeve gastrectomy has the potential to treat patients with obesity and its comorbidities. To evaluate learning curve for this procedure before undergoing Roux en-Y gastric bypass is objective of paper. Materials Methods was attempted in 32 consecutive patients. A survey performed order identify performance variables during completion curve. Total operative time (OT), docking (DT), complications, length hospital stay were compared among divided into two cohorts...
Aquaporin-7 is required for efflux of glycerol from adipocytes and influences whole-body glucose homeostasis in animal studies.Our objective was to test the hypothesis that AQP7 gene expression levels may be affected by presence obesity type 2 diabetes humans.The study cohort consisted 12 lean, 22 nonseverely obese, 13 severely obese subjects. The 17 lean 39 diabetic patients. Circulating plasma soluble proteins monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, TNF receptors 1 2, IL-6 were measured. sc...
Context: Zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) is a soluble protein similar to the class I major histocompatibility complex heavy chain, which has been implicated in lipid catabolism. We hypothesized that ZAG mRNA expression adipose tissue may be linked with lipolytic and adipokine gene have close relationship clinical phenotype. Objectives: The objective of study was analyze human from lean obese subjects. circulating plasma levels its cardiometabolic risk factors were also studied. Design:...
Adipose tissue hypoxia and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress may link the presence of chronic inflammation macrophage infiltration in severely obese subjects. We previously reported up-regulation TNF-like weak inducer apoptosis (TWEAK)/fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) axis adipose type 2 diabetic subjects.The objective study was to examine TWEAK Fn14 expression obesity, severe diabetes relation ER stress.In obesity study, 19 lean, 28 overweight, 15 nondiabetic subjects were...
Abstract Objective: Our goal was to test any association between human plasma circulating levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (cMCP‐1) and insulin resistance compare (MCP‐1) adipose tissue gene expression cMCP‐1 in relation with inflammatory markers. Research Methods Procedures: measured n = 116 consecutive control male subjects whom an sensitivity (S i ) performed. Circulating soluble CD14, tumor necrosis factor receptor type 2 (sTNFR2), interleukin‐6 (sIL‐6), adiponectin also were...
Background: After the first laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in 1994 by Wittgrove, introduction of robot-assisted procedures was next step surgical race to reduce invasiveness. This breakthrough allowed us perform bariatric surgery with less trauma obese patients metabolic disorders, producing an exponential increase performed. Methods: is a retrospective cohort study prospective database for who underwent RYGB during 7-year period through two different approaches, and robotic....
Staged bariatric procedures in high risk patients are a common used strategy for morbid obese nowadays. After previous sleeve gastrectomy, surgical treatments order to complete weight loss or comorbidities improvements resolutions possible. One is perform novel technique named SADI (single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass-sleeve). We present the totally intracorporeal robotically assisted using five ports and liver retractor. aim see if robotic technology offers more advantageous dissection...
Transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasound (TLUS) has emerged as a promising imaging tool for vocal cord examination in patients undergoing thyroid surgery. The focus of this prospective, double-blind study was to assess the accuracy TLUS diagnosis paralysis immediate postoperative period following total thyroidectomy.The included 93 thyroidectomy and assessed by videostrobolaryngoscopy (VSL) TLUS. VSL carried out day before surgery repeated at 4 days postoperatively. performed preanesthesia...
The aim of this study was to analyze lamin A/C mRNA levels in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue two conditions-obesity and type 2 diabetes-that share common inflammatory metabolic features, assess their relationship with selected adipogenic genes.This is a cross-sectional involving 52 nondiabetic 54 diabetes patients. Anthropometrical analytical measurements (glycemic, lipidic, profiles) were performed, expression determined using real-time PCR.Lamin A C isoforms are expressed...
Purpouse: One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA) has been previously proposed for the diagnosis of lymph node metastases (LNMs) from several malignant conditions by quantifying number copies cytokeratin 19 mRNA. Our aim was to evaluate results obtained OSNA in nodes patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) comparing our findings observed using standard pathological examination. Materials and Methods: Fifty human (from five diagnosed PTC) were studied. Each divided into two: one...
The COVID-19 outbreak has forced a 2-month lockdown (LD) in Spain. We aimed to assess how that had affected our cohort of bariatric patients waiting for surgery.
Context and objective Adipokines are involved in the etiopathology of obesity-related disorders. Since role adipokine retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) obesity remains uncertain its relationship with other adipokines inflammatory markers has not been examined detail, we investigated relationships RBP4 mRNA expression circulating protein levels obesity, anthropometric metabolic variables, as well adiponectin C-reactive protein. Subjects methods One-hundred twenty-five subjects participated, 36...
Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is now one of the most common surgical procedures worldwide. It was initially defined for staged in super or super-super obese, very complex patients. The primary objective study to assess safety LSG morbid-obese (MO, body mass index [BMI] >40 kg/m2) and super-morbid-obese (SMO, BMI >50 patients terms operative postoperative complication rate. Methods: This involves a retrospective analysis prospective database that included data who...
