Laparoscopy is gaining acceptance as a safe procedure for resection of liver neoplasms. The aim this study to evaluate surgical results and mid-term survival minor hepatic performed HCC.Data 16 patients with HCC, undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy from September 2005 January 2009, were compared control group who underwent open (OR) during the same period. two groups matched in terms type resection, tumor size, severity cirrhosis.One patient conversion an approach. Laparoscopic approach...
Weight loss ameliorates arterial hypertension and glucose metabolism in obese patients, but the dietary approach is unsatisfactory because obesity relapses. Durable reduction of body weight, obtained through major nonreversible surgical procedures, such as jejunal gastric bypass, allows improvement blood pressure morbid (grade 3) obesity. Laparoscopic adjustable banding (LAGB) a minimally invasive reversible procedure that yields significant volume hunger sensation. In this study, 143...
OBJECTIVE—Lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions can prevent type 2 diabetes in obese subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. The aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) conventional diet (No-LAGB) the prevention (primary intervention study; 56 vs. 29 patients) remission (secondary 17 20 hypertension grade 3 obesity a 4-year study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—The (n = 122; age 48.5 ± 1.05 years; BMI 45.7 0.67 kg/m2) underwent...
Abstract Context: Obesity is frequently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, even when uncomplicated by hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Left hypertrophy an important risk factor for congestive heart failure. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between leptin and mass in uncomplicated, morbid (grade 3) obesity existence receptors intracellular signaling proteins human heart. Design: (LVM) calculated through electrocardiogram reading normotensive...
Surgery represents the mainstay treatment of colorectal liver metastases. Indications for laparoscopic approach in this setting have been widened and there is a need to confirm benefits minimally invasive surgery (MILS) patients with complex disease states.To compare outcomes those open metastases from cancer, focusing on characteristics modern MILS therefore overcoming possible selection bias related different policies patients' eligibility over time.A cohort study 885 resections performed...
Uncoupling protein (UCP)-2 is a member of the mitochondrial inner membrane carriers that uncouple pro-ton entry in matrix from ATP synthesis. The −866G/A polymorphism UCP2 gene, which enhances its transcriptional activity, was associated with enhanced risk for type 2 diabetes obese subjects. We addressed question whether contributes to variation insulin sensitivity by genotyping 181 nondiabetic offspring diabetic patients. Insulin sensitivity, assessed hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp,...
Studies on thyroid function in obesity yielded inconsistent results; high thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were generally shown; free triiodothyronine (fT)-3 or fT4 described some, but not other studies. After weight loss, TSH and hormones have been to either increase decrease. Our aim was describe TSH, fT3, obese subjects with normal before after durable significant obtained through laparoscopic gastric banding (LAGB), comparison nonobese subjects. fT4, fT3/fT4 ratio (an index of D1...
OBJECTIVE—The C-174G promoter polymorphism of the interleukin (IL)-6 gene was found to influence transcriptional activity and plasma IL-6 levels in humans. We addressed question whether contributes variation insulin sensitivity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Two cohorts subjects were genotyped. Cohort 1 includes 275 nondiabetic who underwent a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. 2 77 patients with morbid obesity laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). RESULTS—The genotypes consistent...
