Tissue Oxygenation in Obese and Non-obese Patients During Laparoscopy

The metabolome profiling of obese and non-obese individuals: Metabolically healthy obese and unhealthy non-obese paradox

Objective(s): The molecular basis of “metabolically healthy obese” and “metabolically unhealthy non-obese” phenotypes is not fully understood. Our objective was to identify metabolite patterns differing in obese (metabolically healthy vs unhealthy (MHO vs MUHO)) and non-obese (metabolically healthy vs unhealthy (MHNO vs MUHNO)) individuals. Materials ...

Perioperative lung protection for obese patients EFFECTIVE PRE-OXYGENATION AND INDUCTION IN OBESE PATIENTS

Knee Arthroscopic Visibility Alterations in Obese and Non-obese Patients

Background: Obesity is a chronic disease and has become the most prevalent public health problem worldwide. The impact of obesity on knee is strong and the BMI is correlated with the different alterations. Aim: Compare surgical visualization of arthroscopic field in partial meniscectomy in obese and non-obese. Method: Sixty patients were selected, 30 obese and 30 non-obese who underwent art...

Association of some dietary intakes, anthropometric measurements and insulin resistance with the relative P53 gene expression in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese, and non-obese subjects

Background and Objectives: The P53 is one of the genes involved in weight management. This study investigated associations of dietary intakes, anthropometric measurements and insulin resistance with relative P53 gene expressions.  Materials & Methods: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were collected from 151 individuals, aging nearly 40 years, who underwent el...

Finger trocar: a safe method for entering the peritoneal cavity during laparoscopy in obese patients

techniQUe After dissection through the abdominal wall, the anastomosis between the bladder and stoma is identified. The lateral edges of the bladder are plicated around the anastomosis in a manner similar to that of a Nissen fundoplication using 3/0 Vicryl® sutures (Ethicon Inc, Somerville, NJ, US) (Fig 1). The surgeon must leave enough slack on the suture to ensure easy passage of a 12Fr LoFri...
