The prevalence of obesity worldwide has rapidly increased. One the methods for treating is endoscopic intragastric balloon (IGB) implantation. aim this study was to evaluate effects carbohydrate homeostasis and select cytokines in obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m². We analysed 68 subjects who underwent IGB. There were 19 females 49 males study, their ages ranged from 23-65 years, weights 169.04 ± 33 kg, BMIs 54.81 7.8 measured parameters, including glucose, insulin...
To investigate the effects of obesity on CD47, phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure, and Caspase-8 Caspase-3 activities in erythrocytes.The study included 25 morbidly obese patients 20 healthy people as control group. We evaluated CD47 expression red blood cell (RBC) membrane surface eryptosis markers such PS externalization caspase activity using flow cytometric analyses.CD47 RBC was significantly lower than group (P = 0.000001). did not find significant differences between nonobese groups....
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)...
Post-COVID -19 complications in hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients 1 diseases may be divided into 4 stages, depending on the severity of acute phase: symptomless, pneumonia, pre -acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ARDS. 2 The National INTROduCTION COVID is caused by SARS -CoV -2, which one 7 coronaviruses potentially harmful to humans. clinical manifestation includes mainly lung
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by very poor prognosis. It caused asymptomatic course of the disease at early stage. Symptomatic PDAC means usually advanced stage disease, making radical treatment impossible. Finding biological marker could improve through diagnosis. In our study, we investigated two adipokines: omentin and chemerin concentration in PDAC, chronic pancreatitis (CP) healthy individuals. We examined 27 patients, 10 CP patients 36 controls. To determine...
Visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) are vascular pathologies that difficult to treat. The variable geometry of the vessels and location render their evaluation in radiological imaging studies. Less invasive endovascular procedures increasingly used common practice. Our aim was test feasibility using 3D printing technology preparation preoperative spatial models visceral impact on interventional treatment. In our observational study, we examined a group patients with true arteries who were...
The necessity of urgent explorative laparotomy as a standard procedure in the treatment abdominal penetrating wounds is controversial. Mandatory surgical intervention for trauma yields high rate negative laparotomies absence visceral injuries. Laparoscopy an alternative diagnostic inspecting peritoneum signs perforation and excluding significant intra-abdominal Following current guidelines, laparoscopy should be used with caution only selected cases due to limited amount reliable data...
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:...
Fast track surgery is a specific perioperative procedure. Its aim to reduce the number of complications, improve comfort and satisfaction treated patients shorten time their hospital stay. In this paper we present randomized clinical trials relating fast including after colorectal resection.
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 investigate the relationship between red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and deformability angiogenesis parameters in obese patients.We studied 35 subjects 20 non-obese people as a control group. Angiogenesis detected using Bio-Plex Pro Human Multiplex Assays. RBC were performed by Laser-assisted Optical Rotational Cell Analyser - LORCA.The index syllectogram's amplitude significantly higher patients, whereas half-time (t1/2) lower compared with expressed EI group...
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),...
It is known that obesity associated with alterations in blood rheology and venous hemodynamics. Another recent study has confirmed adipose tissue actively involved angiogenesis through secretion of biologically active substances.The aim this was to investigate the impact on haemodynamics femoral vein status morbidly obese patients.We studied a prospective non-obese individuals. The wall shear stress (WSS) calculated from viscosity rate assuming Newton's law. Angiogenesis detected using...
The aim of the study was to analyze mortality and symptomatic anastomotic leak following stapled anastomosis after anterior resection for rectal cancer.We analyzed retrospectively 161 patients subjected elective rectum. There were 102 (63.3%) men 59 (37.7%) women. divided into two groups according tumor location: group I - 129 (80.1%) with located >6 cm from anal verge II 32 (19.9%) =6 cm.Anastomotic found in 5 (3.1%) patients, three (2.3%) (6.2%) (p<0.26). Anastomotic more often renal...
