Class III obese patients have altered respiratory mechanics, which are further impaired in the supine position. The authors explored hypothesis that preoxygenation 25 degrees head-up position allows a greater safety margin for induction of anesthesia than position.A randomized controlled trial measured oxygen saturation and desaturation period after 3 min 42 consecutive (male:female 13:29) severely (body mass index > 40 kg/m) who were undergoing laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery...
The criteria for stopping Delphi studies are often subjective. This study aimed to examine whether consensus and stability in the process can be ascertained by descriptive evaluation of trends participants' views.A three round email-based required participants (n = 12) verify their level agreement with 8 statements, write comments on each if they considered it necessary rank statements importance. Each statement was analysed quantitatively percentage ratings, importance rankings amount made...
Adolescent obesity is a common and serious health problem affecting more than 5 million young people in the United States alone. Bariatric surgery being evaluated as possible treatment option. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (gastric banding) has potential to provide safe effective treatment.To compare outcomes of with an optimal lifestyle program on adolescent obesity.A prospective, randomized controlled trial 50 adolescents between 14 18 years body mass index (BMI) higher 35,...
OBJECTIVE—To prospectively examine the effect of weight loss 1 year after laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery on a broad range health outcomes in 50 diabetic subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total (17 men, 33 women) 51 patients with type 2 diabetes, from 500 consecutive patients, were studied preoperatively and again surgery. RESULTS—Preoperative BMI (means ± SD) 137 30 kg 48.2 8 kg/m2, respectively; at year, 110 24 38.7 6 respectively. There was significant improvement all...
Exergaming is a promising new alternative to traditional modes of therapeutic exercise which may be preferable and more effective for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Impaired balance reported as one the most disabling aspects MS. The purposes this study were examine effects exergaming on: (1) postural sway, (2) gait, (3) technology acceptance (4) flow experience in Secondary outcomes disability: 12‐item Walking Scale (MSWS-12) World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0...
Background Current multimodal approaches for the management of non-specific patellofemoral pain are not optimal, however, targeted intervention subgroups could improve patient outcomes. This study explores whether subgrouping patients, using a series low cost simple clinical tests, is possible. Method The exclusivity and importance potential was assessed by applying à priori test thresholds (1 SD) from seven tests in sample adult patients with pain. Hierarchical clustering latent profile...
Obesity causes sleep disturbance and is the most significant risk factor for apnea. Only surgical methods provide substantial sustained weight loss severely obese subjects.To study in patients undergoing laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with a commercially available product (Lap-Band).In this study, 313 consecutive severe obesity (body mass index [calculated as kilograms divided by square of height meters] >35) completed preoperative questionnaire clinical assessment. One hundred...
High levels of readiness to change (RTC) are considered critical the long-term success weight management programs including bariatric surgery. However, there no data support this assertion. We hypothesize that RTC level will not influence outcomes following In 227 consecutive patients undergoing adjustable gastric banding surgery, we recorded reasons for seeking and measured with University Rhode Island Change Assessment. Scores were blinded until study completion. The primary outcome...
Background: standing on textured surfaces or wearing shoe insoles can alter balance performance. This evidence, although inconclusive, offers a potential intervention for improving in older adults. study explored the effect of double-limb adults and changes muscle activity as possible mechanism effect. Methods: 50 healthy (29 female, age mean [1SD] 75.1 [5.0]) stood quietly six conditions—eyes open closed two different smooth surface control. Mediolateral sway, anterior-posterior sway centre...
Evidence suggests that textured insoles can alter gait and standing balance by way of enhanced plantar tactile stimulation. However, to date, this has not been explored in older people at risk falling. This study investigated the immediate effect wearing on double-limb fallers.Thirty adults >65 years (21 women, mean [SD] age 79.0 [7.1]), with self-reported history ≥2 falls previous year, conducted tests level-ground walking over 10 m (GAITRite system), eyes open closed 30 seconds (Kistler...
