Active clinical trials for "Obesity, Morbid"

This study aims to determine the effect of two types of exercise training on body composition, cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in people after undergoing bariatric surgery.

This is a experimental study, which subjects are obese PCOS patients requiring LSG surgery. Aim to investigate the effects of LSG surgery in PCOS patients whether increases the live birth rate of the offspring.

Mexico has one of the highest prevalence of obesity, reported on 32.4 percent of people over 20 years old, with a prevalence of obesity class III of 1.8 percent on males and 4.1 percent on females. According to previous data in our Obesity Clinic the mean age of these patients is 41 years, 46 percent have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); 66 percent has hypertension and 33 percent has dyslipidemia. The management of alterations in the glucose metabolism in this unit is made by dietary treatment and with the use of metformin at doses of 1,700 mg/day and/or basal insulin. Dapagliflozin is a selective SGLT2 inhibitor than has shown a sustained effect on the reduction of glycated hemoglobin at 0.4 to 0.8 percent (initial 7.8 to 8.0 percent). Additionally, due to the induction of glycosuria up to 20 to 85 g/day, it has been calculated that its use induces a caloric deficit at 80 to 340 kcal/day. This has been tested in patients with T2D in which induces a weight loss of 2 to 3 kg and in combination with metformin even a weight loss up to 5.07 kg (-6.21 to 3.93 kg) without regain (at least for 2 years). Furthermore, dapagliflozin decrease systolic blood pressure, increases HDL cholesterol concentrations and decreases triglyceride concentration. The drug product action is independent of the insulin production at pancreas, consequently, it exists a possibility of using the drug product on patients with prediabetes or even on other types of diabetes. Regarding the adverse effects related to its use, it has been described an increase in the risk of genitourinary infections with a low risk for inducing hypoglycemia. A previous study that included 182 patients with T2D inadequately controlled with metformin assessed the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg in total weight loss after 24 weeks compared to placebo. It was found a decrease in weight of 2.08 kg (2.8 to 1.31 kg), decrease in waist circumference of 1.52 cm (2.74 to 0.31), decrease in total fat mass assessed with densitometry of 1.48 kg (2.22 to 0.74), decrease of visceral fat mass of 258.4 cm^3 (448.1 to 68.6) and subcutaneous fat of 184.9 cm^3 (359.7 to 10.1). Most of these studies on weight and metabolic control have been performed in patients with obesity class II or I. The aim of this study is to assess if dapagliflozin in combination with metformin is at least 10 percent more effective for weight reduction in comparison with metformin in patients with prediabetes or T2D and obesity grade III.

It is a consensus in the literature that changes in lifestyle and carbohydrate-rich diet are part of a context that has led to an obesity pandemic. Its treatment is multidisciplinary, however, in many cases, conventional therapy has no effect, requiring surgical intervention. The latter, in turn, is not free of risks and causes important changes in lung function. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of electroanalgesia through conventional transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) on pulmonary function in the postoperative period of bariatric surgery.

Bilio-Pancreatic diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) is the most effective bariatric procedure in terms of long-term weight loss and remission rate of Type 2 Diabetes. However, its technical difficulty and increased risk of long-term nutritional deficiencies have been a major hindrance to its diffusion. Recently, a " simplified " technique of Duodenal-Switch has been proposed by Sanchez-Pernaute et al. This technique involves the creation of a Sleeve Gastrectomy, transection of the first duodenum, and connection of the duodenum to an omega-loop of small bowel instead of a terminal intestinal loop used in standard BPD-DS. The overall objective of this study is to assess in a prospective randomized blinded trial, the outcomes of this new procedure, using a comprehensive clinical evaluation and follow-up method. This could potentially change the clinical practice and surgical approach in our Institution.

This study aims to demonstrate the effects of automatic recruitment maneuver on peroperative lung mechanics of obese patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. 128 obese patients undergoing abdominal laparoscopic surgery are randomly going to be assigned to automatic recruitment maneuver group and no recruitment maneuver group (control group). Both groups are going to be taken to the operating table. Electrocardiography (ECG), noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP), pulse oximeter and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and post-intubation end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) and train of four (TOF) monitoring will be performed. Then, general anesthesia induction procedure will be started. Following intubation, patients will be ventilated according to the ideal weight within the scope of intraoperative protective ventilation strategy and in pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) mode. Then, automatic recruitment maneuver will be applied to the recruitment group twice, after insufflation and desufflation. It will not be applied to the control group. During recruitment maneuver, PEEP (Positive end-expiratory pressure), where dynamic compliance is measured highest, will be the ideal PEEP (Positive end-expiratory pressure) for the patient, and PEEP (Positive end-expiratory pressure) will be adjusted at this value after recruitment. If MAP (mean arterial pressure) is <60 mmHg during the maneuver, the maneuver will be terminated and these patients will be excluded from the study. Respiratory mechanics for both groups (peak pressure, plateau pressure, driver pressure, static compliance, dynamic compliance, EtCO2) and hemodynamic parameters (heart peak, mean arterial pressure, SpO2) at 5 different times (T1: post intubation; T2 : after insufflation; T3: 5 minutes after insufflation / after the first recruitment maneuver; T4: after desufflation; T5: 5 minutes after desufflation / after the second recruitment maneuver) will be recorded. Throughout the surgery, insufflation pressure will be kept as 10-13 cmH20. At the end of the surgery, the anesthesia maintenance of all patients will be terminated and the routine wake-up phase will be initiated. Creatinine values and hourly urine outputs of all patients routinely monitored at the postoperative 24th hour will be recorded on the case follow-up form.

Bariatric surgery is an effective method for treatment of obesity. Sleeve gastrectomy is one of surgical methods and became popular in recent years. Weight loss rates after bariatric surgery differs among patients. The exact reason of this difference stays unclear. age, nationality, difference between body composition and type of surgery may be in concern. waist to height ratio has become popular recent years as an indicator of cardiomethabolic status. in this study, investigation of the effect of waist to height ratio differences of patients on weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a bariatric surgery.

Although peroperative intravenous lidocaine has been shown to be useful in early recovery after colorectal surgery, its beneficial effect on the specific population of obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery remained unknown. Investigators hypothesized that peroperative intravenous lidocaine could decrease postoperative opioid consumption and improve postoperative recovery

Obesity is a major public health problem in developed and developing countries, causing a range of respiratory and metabolic changes. There is a strong correlation between obesity and cardiorespiratory sleep disorders. The weight loss reduces the comorbidities and improves the quality of life, but clinical treatment it is not effective for a long period. In this context, currently bariatric surgery is an option for the real weight loss in the long term. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical condition observed in patients with obesity. The primary aim of this protocol are to assess the inflammatory profile of severe obese patients undergone to bariatric surgery, through systemic and adipose markers of inflammation. A secondary objective is study the impact of this surgery on sleep variables and quality of life. Investigators hypothesized that weight loss induced by bariatric surgery reduces systemic inflammatory profile, improve sleep quality and quality of life of subjects with severe obesity. Will participate in this study, patients with severe obesity (BMI > 40 or 35 to 39.9 kg/m2 associated comorbidities), with indication of bariatric surgery, screened Bariatric Surgery Service of Santa Casa de São Paulo in São Paulo. Inclusion criteria are severely obese, bariatric surgery indication and agreement to participate in the study. Are excluded patients with BMI > 55 kg/m2, clinical instability, mental instability or significant and unrealistic expectations of surgery. Patients will be assessed before and after bariatric surgery, 90, 180 and 360 days. The evaluation protocol will consist of clinical history, vital signs, neck and waist circumference, clinical analysis of blood inflammatory markers, lung function tests, maximal ventilatory pressures, full overnight standard polysomnography, excessive daytime sleepiness scale, cardiovascular risk, quality of life and personal satisfaction questionnaires.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) is a common type of surgery in which length of stay and morbidity is intimately associated with post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and recovery of bowel function. Medications most commonly used to control for post-operative pain are opioid medications, whose well known adverse effects include PONV. Currently, no studied adequate alternative to opiates exists for mild-moderate pain relief without the aforementioned risks. The primary goal for this study is to evaluate the the administration of pre- and post-operative IV acetaminophen to determine if there is in an overall decrease in the use of opioid analgesics by patient controlled analgesia (PCA) and subsequent decrease in subjective PONV leading to sooner return of bowel function, enabling progression to oral intake and decrease in post-operative length of stay.
