<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>)...
The primary goals of this interdisciplinary consensus statement are to define the eligibility criteria for outpatient thyroidectomy and explore preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative factors that should be considered in order optimize safe efficient performance ambulatory surgery.A series was developed may represent relative contraindications thyroidectomy, these fell into following broad categories: clinical, social, procedural issues. Intraoperative bear consideration enumerated,...
<h3>Importance</h3> The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is effective in achieving established diabetes treatment targets, but durability unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare of added to intensive lifestyle and medical management control targets. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Observational follow-up a randomized clinical trial at 4 sites the United States Taiwan, involving 120 participants who had hemoglobin A<sub>1c</sub>(HbA<sub>1c</sub>) level 8.0% or higher body mass index between...
Abstract Objective: To quantify plasma concentrations of hormones that regulate energy homeostasis in order to establish possible mechanisms for greater weight loss after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) compared with banding (BND). Research Methods and Procedures: Four groups women were studied: lean ( n = 8; mean BMI, 21.6 kg/m 2 ); BND 9; 35.8; 25% loss), RYGBP 34.2; 36% controls matched BMI the surgical 11; 34.4). Results: Fasting total peptide YY (PYY) PYY (3–36) immunoreactivity...
Summary objective To determine the utility of ultrasonography for preoperative localization enlarged parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism, and to compare this method with 99m technetium sestamibi scintigraphy. design The results were determined 120 consecutive patients hyperparathyroidism compared findings at surgery ( n = 86) scintigraphy 99). All had biochemically documented based on elevated serum calcium ‘intact’ hormone measured by immunoassay. Patients prior or secondary...
Conventional thyroidectomy often leaves an undesirable scar on the anterior neck. The aim of this study was to assess feasibility and efficacy endoscopic thyroidectomy, a new minimally invasive technique for thyroid surgery. Between September 1998 February 2000, 18 patients with solitary nodule underwent utilizing CO2 insufflation. There were 16 females 2 males mean age 43 years (range 17-66 years). Indications surgery included indeterminate cytology (n = 8), follicular neoplasm Hürthle cell...
Background: Goiter, or benign enlargement of the thyroid gland, can be asymptomatic cause compression surrounding structures such as esophagus and/or trachea. The options for medical treatment euthyroid goiter are short-lived and limited to thyroxine hormone suppression radioactive iodine ablation. objective this statement article is discuss optimal surgical management goiter. Methods: A task force was convened by Surgical Affairs Committee American Thyroid Association tasked with writing...
Context: Data regarding the presence, extent, and reversibility of psychological cognitive features primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are conflicting. Objective: This study evaluated symptoms function in PHPT. Design: is a case-control which their improvement 6 months after surgical cure PHPT were assessed. Settings: The was conducted university hospital metabolic bone disease unit endocrine surgery practice. Participants: Thirty-nine postmenopausal women with 89 controls without...
To evaluate change in sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) over 3 years following bariatric surgery. A subset of participants an observational study (n = 473 2,458; 79% female, median body mass index 45 kg m(-2) ) wore monitor presurgery at 1-3 annual postsurgery assessments. Over the first year, on average, time decreased from 573 (95% CI: 563-582) to 545 534-555) min days(-1) moderate- vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA) increased 77 71-84) 106 98-116) week(-1) , or 7 5-10) 24...
OBJECTIVE We compared 3-year achievement of an American Diabetes Association composite treatment goal (HbA1c &lt;7.0%, LDL cholesterol &lt;100 mg/dL, and systolic blood pressure &lt;130 mmHg) after 2 years intensive lifestyle-medical management intervention, with without Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, one additional year usual care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total 120 adult participants, BMI 30.0–39.9 kg/m2 HbA1c ≥8.0%, were randomized 1:1 to two arms at three clinical sites in...
Selumetinib can increase radioactive iodine (RAI) avidity in RAI-refractory tumors. We investigated whether selumetinib plus adjuvant RAI improves complete remission (CR) rates patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) at high risk of primary treatment failure versus alone.
