The reduction of body mass after bariatric surgery affects energy metabolism and may involve changes in irisin, preptin, adropin production.Fifty-five morbidly obese patients with a mean index (BMI) 45.7 ± 5.8 kg/m2 were treated either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(n = 30) or adjustable gastric banding (n 25). Forty-six (83.6%) followed-up 6 months surgery. control group included 15 healthy non-obese participants. Anthropometric measurements, lipid profiles, HbA1c, serum assessed at...
Some studies indicate that obesity is associated with rheological disturbances. Because there are usually sex differences in the type of we decided to evaluate between male and female obese patients. We studied 18 morbidly men, mean age 43.66 +/- 11.32 years, body mass index (BMI) 49.82 6.03 kg/m2 20 females, 40.6 11.86 BMI 47.41 8.81 kg/m2. Blood plasma viscosity measurements were performed using a cone-plate viscometer (Brookfield DV-II). Erythrocyte elongation red blood cell (RBC)...
There is sufficient evidence that blood group related Lewis antigens are tumor-associated molecules. We have conducted immunohistochemical analysis of the expression in breast cancer tissue as an indicator degree malignancy and a prognostic factor. The studies were performed by examining 43 female patients diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma breast. Postoperative specimens stained immunohistochemically using panel monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for antigens: sialosyl LewisA,...
Studies have shown that obesity is associated with venous flow disturbances lead to changes of the biomechanical forces on wall known as shear stress. We hypothesized weight loss due bariatric surgery affects hemodynamics and wall. The aim this study was evaluate effects laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) stress (WSS) femoral vein.We studied ten morbidly obese patients who underwent LSG. investigated before, 6 12 months after vein diameter, cross-sectional area, peak (PeakV) maximum...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects obesity on wall shear stress and its relationship erythrocyte aggregation. We studied 35 morbidly obese patients who were qualified for bariatric surgery. control group consisted 20 non-o
Abstract Background The present study aims to clarify the effects of weight loss on biomarkers associated with angiogenesis in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) 12-month follow-up study. Materials and Methods We studied 24 obese surgery, 13 whom SG 11 LAGB. evaluated circulating level preoperatively 12 months after surgery. Results Before following angiogenic factors were significantly higher than those healthy subjects:...
This study presents the association between metabolic syndrome and hemorheological parameters among obese patients qualified for bariatric surgery. We studied 73 morbidly who were Blood plasma viscosity measurements performed using a cone-plate viscometer (Brookfield DV-II). RBC aggregation was measured Laser-assisted Optical Rotational Cell Analyser (LORCA). The following process estimated: index (AI), amplitude (AMP), half-time (t1/2), threshold shear rate (γthr), fast (Tfast) slow (Tslow)...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects obesity degree on red blood cell aggregation and deformability. We studied 56 obese patients before weight loss surgery who were divided into two groups: morbid super obesity. deformability RBCs evaluated using a Laser-assisted Optical Rotational Cell Analyzer (Mechatronics, Netherlands). following parameters specific process estimated: index (AI), half-time (t1/2) threshold shear rate (γthr). RBC expressed as erythrocyte elongation (EI),...
Abstract/Purpose: Epithelial signals such as interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are stimulators of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs2) that integral regulators adipose tissue type immunity. The purpose this study was to assess cytokines activating ILCs2 in the serum patients with obesity effect bariatric surgery on these parameters.In a single-center prospective study, IL-25, TSLP, ST2L levels were assayed at baseline 6 months after correlated...
Methods of treating obesity in selected cases include endoscopically performed procedures, among them placed intragastric balloons. It is a method associated with low complication rate, traditionally reserved to treat the most obese patients. Balloon rupture or deflation and its migration into small bowel one possible complications. In some cases, balloon moves through digestive tract without side effects. When balloon's displacement intestine impossible, gastrointestinal obstruction occurs....
Abstract Obesity is a civilization disease that promotes the emergence and development of many diseases, such as type II diabetes, cardiovascular, some cancers. It directly affects length quality life. The purpose this retrospective study was to show short- long-term results weight loss after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) well assess procedure percentage reoperations. Case series analysis included 228 subsequent patients who underwent LAGB due obesity. In postoperative...

Introduction: This retrospective study aimed to compare short- and long-term outcomes between laparoscopicsleeve gastrectomy (SG) laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Material methods: one-centre included patients who underwent bariatricsurgery in the form of LAGB SG. Results: %BMIL was significantly higher SG group than during postoperativefollow-up months (p < 0.001). had a lower %EWL compared at each month 0.05). After LAGB, 25.0% %EW ≥ 50%; LSG group, 44.8% achieved 50%...
