Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a multi-purpose bariatric operation.

Authors:
Aniceto Baltasar Carlos Serra Nieves Pérez Rafael Bou Marcelo Bengochea Lirios Ferri

Obes Surg 2005 Sep;15(8):1124-8

Clínica San Jorge and Alcoy Hospital, Chief of the Surgical Service, Alcoy, Spain.

Background: The use of the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a restrictive operation, in different settings, is presented.

Methods: 31 patients underwent LSG in the following groups: 1) 7 patients with very high BMI as a first stage of the duodenal switch (DS); 2) 7 morbidly obese patients with severe medical conditions; 3) 16 obese patients with lower BMI (35-43); and 4) 1 patient converted from a prior gastric banding.

Results: 1 patient with BMI 74 died, a 3.2% mortality. The percentage of excess BMI loss (%EBMIL) in group 1 above was 63.1% from 4-27 months. The %EBMIL of the cirrhotics in group 2 was 76.0% (69-100%). The %EBMIL in group 3 patients was 68.5% (58.3-123%) at 3-27 months. The %EBMIL of the group 4 patient is 13% because she had previously lost almost all of her EBMI.

Conclusion: LSG may become the ideal operation for staging in patients with BMI >55, for treating morbidly obese patients with severe medical conditions, as an excellent alternative to adjustable bands in lower BMI patients, or for conversion of gastric banding patients.

Specific Challenges in Geriatric Cirrhosis and Hepatic Encephalopathy.

Jasmohan S Bajaj Angela Gentili James B Wade Michael Godschalk

Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022 Aug;20(8S):S20-S29

Division of Geriatrics, Department of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University and Richmond VA Medical Center, Richmond, Virginia.

As the world's population ages, diseases predominantly found in the elderly now overlap with diseases that were thought to be the purview of younger patients. This includes chronic liver disease, which affects more than 2 billion people worldwide. Owing to the obesity epidemic (and associated metabolic diseases), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Read More

Cost-effectiveness of earlier or more intensive colorectal cancer screening in overweight and obese patients.

Authors:
Aaron Yeoh Ajitha Mannalithara Uri Ladabaum

Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022 Aug 5. Epub 2022 Aug 5.

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA. Electronic address:

Background & Aims: Overweight and obese persons have elevated rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) but also higher competing mortality and healthcare spending. We examined the cost-effectiveness of intensified CRC screening in overweight and obese persons.

Methods: We adapted our validated decision analytic model of CRC screening to compare screening starting at age 45 or 40 instead of 50, and/or shortening screening intervals, in women and men with body-mass-index (BMI) ranging from normal to grade III obesity. Read More

Potential Pitfalls of Steatopygia on Bone Scintigraphy and the Added Value of SPECT and SPECT/CT.

Authors:
Saud Alenezi Shorouk Dannoon Naheel Alnafisi Jehan Alshammari Abdelhamid Elgazzar

Med Princ Pract 2022 Aug 8. Epub 2022 Aug 8.

Objectives: A retrospective study of bone scintigraphy to assess the prevalence of steatopygia on bone scintigraphy of obese patients and evaluate its effect on the appearance of the lumbar spine, and the added benefit of SPECT and SPECT/CT in overcoming possible artifacts.

Methods: Between 2016 and 2019, patients who underwent bone scintigraphy, BMI ≥ 30, were included. Three nuclear medicine consultants reviewed the studies to determine whether significant steatopygia is present, if it resulted in attenuation of underlying lumber spine and crease edge artifact.

Maternal obesity and acute lymphoblastic leukemia risk in offspring: A summary of trends, epidemiological evidence, and possible biological mechanisms.

Authors:
Andrew R Marley Justin R Ryder Lucie M Turcotte Logan G Spector

Leuk Res 2022 Aug 3;121:106924. Epub 2022 Aug 3.

Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Research, Department of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota, 420 Delaware St SE MMC 715, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, 425 East River Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a heterogenous malignancy characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of lymphoid progenitors and generally initiated in utero, is the most common pediatric cancer. Although incidence of ALL has been steadily increasing in recent decades, no clear reason for this trend has been identified. Rising concurrently with ALL incidence, increasing maternal obesity rates may be partially contributing to increasing ALL prevelance. Read More
