<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and its metabolic related comorbidities. However, the literature reports inconsistent results regarding weight loss (WL) resolution of comorbidities associated with obesity. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> We aim to evaluate long-term differences in WL between different surgical techniques impact each technique on parameters (type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM],...
Bariatric surgery leads to weight loss and cardiometabolic risk improvement. Although prediabetes remission after bariatric is biologically plausible, data on this topic scarce. We aimed assess rate clinical predictors of in a 4 year follow up period.
Background: An association between hypothyroidism and the risk of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has been suggested. This remains to be elucidated in patients with morbid obesity. Aim: To evaluate thyroid function parameters liver hepatic scores Methods: Patients obesity followed our centre January 2010 July 2018 were included. The ones without evaluation functions excluded. Index (FLI) BARD used as predictors steatosis fibrosis, respectively. Results: We observed a positive TSH...
We aimed to evaluate the association between vitamin D status and hepatic function parameters scores: Fatty Liver Index (FLI, predictor of steatosis) BARD (BMI, AST/ALT ratio DM, fibrosis) in patients with morbid obesity.Cross-sectional study including obesity followed our centre January 2010 July 2018. Patients missing levels or profile were excluded. divided population according two cut-offs (12ng/mL 20ng/mL).The included (n=1124) had an average age 43.3±10.7 years 84.3% female....
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with several other metabolic disorders, which are typically pro-inflammatory states. Body fat content an important marker of health and abdominal harmful cardiometabolic outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the association between risk NAFLD (through Fatty Liver Index (FLI), BMI, AST/ALT ratio, presence diabetes (BARD)), anthropometric parameters, predictors status, in patients morbid obesity, FLI BARD scores markers. have retrospectively...
Male obesity is associated with decreased testosterone levels but the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this association are not completely understood. This study aimed to investigate impact of hyperglycaemia/insulin resistance and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) on in a population obese men. We investigated several clinical, anthropometric analytic measures 150 males. Testosterone deficiency was present 52.0% enrolled patients. percentage dropped 17.6% when only calculated free (FT)...
Primary bilateral adrenal macronodular hyperplasia is characterized by functioning macronodules and variable cortisol secretion. Familial clustering suggests a genetic cause that has been confirmed with the identification of some mutations, including inactivating germline in armadillo repeat containing 5 (ARMC5) gene. The pathogenic variant enables physician to identify treat these patients earlier more effectively. It also noticed causative variants show different clinical spectrum,...
Summary Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a subtype monogenic and rare type diabetes, which accounts for 1–5% cases often underdiagnosed. The importance its diagnosis lies in potential implications that it can have on disease management offspring. We report de novo KCNJ11 -MODY case process transition from insulin to sulfonylureas. A 24-year-old Caucasian woman was referred Endocrinology Department account newly diagnosed mellitus. Her past medical history unremarkable; however,...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The association between obesity and depression has been repeatedly established. However, little is known about the impact that diagnosis of before bariatric surgery (DDBS) may have on weight loss. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To evaluate DDBS outcomes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Retrospective study patients submitted to BS. Patients with no weight, current medication data, or those revision were...
Background Obesity is a multifactorial disease, which strongly associated to other metabolic disorders. Bariatric surgery the most effective treatment of morbid obesity. The role beta cell function in weight loss after bariatric uncertain. Aim To evaluate association between and percentage total body (TBWL%) 1, 2, 3, 4 years patients with Methods Retrospective longitudinal study obesity followed our center January 2010 July 2018. Patients were excluded if they had diabetes at baseline or...
The clinical characteristics and complications of Cushing syndrome (CS) are well known described in the literature. Nevertheless, rare, atypical presentations may go unnoticed. Osteonecrosis is a well-documented complication glucocorticoid therapy. However, endogenous hypercortisolism but relevant, cause bone avascular necrosis. We describe case woman with CS undiagnosed for 2 years after presenting femoral necrosis.A 38-year-old Caucasian was referred evaluation secondary amenorrhea,...
One hour plasma glucose concentration (1hPG) during an oral tolerance test (OGTT) may be alternative to 2-h (2hPG) in the identification of individuals at increased risk hyperglycaemia, although its role is not fully understood.We aim investigate relationship these measures with other parameters, as well their cardiometabolic markers and level agreement for prediabetes mellitus diagnosis, a sample patients morbid obesity.We retrospectively evaluated 656 obesity without diagnosed diabetes. To...
