Active clinical trials for "Obesity, Morbid"

Prevalence of Obesity and its association with Diabetes Mellitus 2 (DM2) affect a significant percentage of the world's population with great socioeconomic impact, especially for developing countries. Several procedures and interventions are used in its treatment, and the most efficient and with a positive impact on the life of patients with severe obesity and DM2 is Bariatric Surgery. The objective of is analyze the activity of L cells according to the extension of the bilio-pancreatic loop in T2DM patients undergoing GDYR. This study 20 adults of both sexes, above 18 years,before and 6 moths after surgery baritric metabolic, randomized the bilio-pancreatic loop in a proportion of 1:1. Keywords: Roux-en-Y gastroplasty, Immunohistochemistry, L cell, GLP-1, type 2 diabetes.

The goal of this comparative clinical trial is to compare Pfannenstiel incision and higher transverse supra umbilical incision techniques during elective cesarean section in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in operative time between the two incision techniques? Is there a difference in estimated blood loss between the two techniques? Is there a difference in post-operative pain scores between the two techniques? Is there a difference in wound complication rates between the two techniques? Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a Pfannenstiel incision or a higher transverse supra umbilical incision during their scheduled cesarean delivery. Researchers will compare the Pfannenstiel incision group to the higher transverse supra umbilical incision group to see if there are differences in operative time, blood loss, post-operative pain, and wound complications.

This study will be a randomized control study, with the objective to evaluate epidural analgesia success rates between the two methods (Blind Approach versus Accuro Device).

A Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) is on the long term not always successful in every patient because weight regain can occur. An intervention to prevent weight regain in the future is to place a silicone band (non-adjustable) around the sleeve (Banded-Sleeve Gastrectomy: BSG) which increases weight loss and decreases weight regain on the longer term. The question is whether primary application of a banded sleeve gives a greater weight loss and / or prevent weight regain in the future versus a standard sleeve gastrectomy.

Patients undergoing Bariatric Surgery at the University of California Davis Medical Center will be divided into two groups, one receiving Standard of Care pain control medications vs the second group which will receive non-narcotic pain medications with rescue pain medications available if needed

The purpose of this study is to compare two methods for managing obesity in rural primary care patients. The first method includes quarterly 1:1 meetings with the participant and their primary care provider and the second includes a group lifestyle intervention over Zoom paired with quarterly team meetings with the participant, their primary care provider and their lifestyle coach, the coach joining via Zoom. Investigators will evaluate which method is best at helping participants lose weight over 18 months.

to do gastric banding using round ligament or omental flap instead of synesthetic band

This study will examine the timing and sequence of using adjunct obesity pharmacotherapy for adolescents with severe obesity who do not respond to lifestyle modification therapy alone.

Bariatric surgery is the ideal therapeutic strategy for patients with severe obesity when lifestyle interventions have failed. Unfortunately, weight recovery after surgery affects one third of patients and is due to several factors, such as recovery of incorrect eating behaviour, reduction of physical activity or hormonal factors. Dilation of gastro-jejunal anastomosis is one of the main causes as it determines reduction of satiety in the patient and consequent increase of the portions of food consumed. In these cases it is necessary to make a review of gastro-jejunal anastomosis and to reduce surgical complications in recent years has been developed a method that allows the execution of sutures through a totally endoscopic way (OverStitch™ Endoscopic Suturing System). Literature studies to assess hunger-satiety in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, suggest that surgery results in weight loss due to a series of changes in gastrointestinal physiology which impact on the feeling of hunger-satiety, and on the modification of the secretion of hormones involved in the regulation of gastric emptying such as the reduction of ghrelin secretion and the increase in postprandial cholecystokinin and GLP-1. There are no data in the literature on satiety in patients in previous bariatric surgery with weight recovery secondary to dilation of the gastro-jejunal anastomosis. There are various methods to assess satiety, most of which are invasive and difficult to perform in routine clinical settings. A recently proposed method to evaluate the perception of satiety and validated on healthy adults, is the Water Load Tests (WLTs). The test consists in making the subject drink a quantity of water until he feels "pleasantly" full. The volume of water ingested is a valid indicator of the subjective feeling of satiety. The aim of yhe study is to assess perceived satiety (measured by Water Load Test) after intervention of Sleeve Gastrectomy or a revision surgery with OverStitch™ Endoscopic Suturing System in obese individuals suitable for bariatric surgery
