Structural Renal Changes in Obesity and Diabetes
Summary:
Overweight, obesity, and associated diseases represent an emerging problem, not only in Western countries but also in the developing world. They are now characterized as epidemic diseases. Obesity is particularly serious because its incidence in children and adolescents increased dramatically: it is estimated that in the United States every eighth adolescent suffers from obesity, which in the long run may reduce life expectancy in the population. Apart from cardiovascular disease (ie, blood pressure, stroke, and coronary heart disease), kidney diseases also have been shown to be associated with obesity. Epidemiol...

Review of the key results from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) trial – a prospective controlled intervention study of bariatric surgery
Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes, cardiovascular disease events, cancer and overall mortality. Weight loss may protect against these conditions, but robust evidence for this has been lacking. The Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study is the first long‐term, prospective, controlled trial to provide information on the effects of bariatric surgery on the incidence of these objective endpoints. The SOS study involved 2010 obese subjects who underwent bariatric surgery [gastric bypass (13%), banding (19%) and vertical banded gastroplasty (68%)] and 2037 contemporaneously matched obese control subjects receiving usu...

Bariatric Surgery Is Associated with a Reduction in Major Macrovascular and Microvascular Complications in Moderately to Severely Obese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Background: Bariatric surgery (BAR) has been established as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obese patients. However, few studies have examined the mid- to long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery in diabetic populations. Specifically, no comparative studies have broadly examined major macrovascular and microvascular complications in bariatric surgical patients vs similar, nonbariatric surgery controls.Study Design: We conducted a large, population-based, retrospective cohort study of adult obese patients with T2DM, from 1996 to 2009, using UB-04 administrative data and vital records. Eligible p...

DiaSurg 2 trial - surgical vs. medical treatment of insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with a body mass index between 26 and 35 kg/m2: study protocol of a randomized controlled multicenter trial - DRKS00004550
This study aims at investigating whether Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an efficient treatment for non-severely obese T2DM patients in terms of preventing long-term complications and mortality.
Methods:
The DiaSurg 2 trial is a multicenter, open randomized controlled trial comparing RYGB including standardized medical treatment if needed to exclusive standardized medical treatment of T2DM (control group). The primary endpoint is a composite time-to-event endpoint (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, coronary bypass, percutaneous coronary intervention, non-fatal stroke, amputation, surgery for peripheral athero...

Cardiovascular Effects of Intensive Lifestyle Intervention in Type 2 Diabetes
In this study, conducted in 16 centers in the United States, 5145 overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to participate in an intensive lifestyle intervention that promoted weight loss through decreased caloric intake and increased physical activity, the intervention group, or receive diabetes support and education only, the control group. The primary outcome was a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for angina occurring over a maximum follow-up of 13.5 years. At a median follow-up of 9.6 years, the trial was st...

Change in pulmonary blood volume changes pulmonary artery systolic storage
Abstract: Background: A fraction of right ventricular stroke volume (pulmonary artery systolic storage, [PASS]), which is stored in pulmonary arteries during systole and then discharged to the capillaries, determines the diastolic pulmonary capillary blood flow and hence the capillary blood volume participating in gas diffusion. Possibility that increases in pulmonary blood volume (PBV) increase PASS, leading to an improved distribution of ventilation-to-perfusion ratios (V/Q ), was examined.Methods and results: Included were 34 obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. We used a nitrous oxide-airway-pneumotachographi...

Improved sex drive after bariatric surgery
The health risks of obesity are well known, with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and certain cancers. But what is not so well known is how it affects women's sex drive and satisfaction, something researchers from the University of Pennsylvania set out to explore. In a study, published in JAMA Surgery this month, Prof. David B. Sarwer, of the University's Perelman School of Medicine, and colleagues conducted a study with women who underwent bariatric surgery...

New heart guidelines back stronger therapies for high risk patients
(Reuters) - New U.S. guidelines on heart health that were a decade in the making recommend stronger measures for patients at particularly high risk of heart attack or stroke, including more aggressive therapy with drugs that lower cholesterol or even bariatric weight loss surgery.

Prayers, Facebook and Weight Loss
"When people talk to God, it is called prayer. When God talks to people, they call it schizophrenia." -- Dr. Jim Roach in his upcoming book, God's House Calls
"Just like a prayer. Your voice can take me there" -- Madonna
Until recently, my attitude toward prayer had been guided by President Harry S. Truman who said that "people who pray the loudest are the ones you lock your hen house from." I've always been intensely suspicious of anyone who seems too overt in their embrace of prayer, especially if the conversation deviates to matters concerning my checkbook or wallet.
Praying out loud was something I never did. Unti...

Bariatric Surgery: "Roux"-minating on Endothelial Cell and HDL Function.
Abstract
Obesity, defined as a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2, is pandemic. Though prevalence in the United States has plateaued at ~31% of adults (78 million), worldwide obesity rates continue to rise(1). Perhaps more concerning is the high level of childhood obesity: 16.9% in US and ~13% (and rising) in developing countries(2). Why the alarm? Longitudinal studies of overweight or obese individuals have identified a 20 fold increase in risk for developing diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2D) and 1.5 fold increase risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure(3, 4). As ob...

Diabetes: Study finds bariatric surgery beats diet, exercise
A study designed to compare bariatric surgery with lifestyle interventions found that Type II diabetics treated with gastric bypass or banding procedures fared better than patients who watched their diets and exercised.
Results from “Bariatric Surgery versus Intensive Medical Therapy for Diabetes – 3-Year Outcomes,” which was funded by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiaries Ethicon and LifeScan, the Cleveland Clinic and the National Institutes of Health, were published online yesterday in the Journal of the American Medical Assn.

Study finds obese people may struggle to reach a healthy weight
ConclusionThis research makes use of a general practice database providing just under 10 years of BMI observations for a large, nationally representative UK sample. It demonstrates that low proportions of people in the obese categories were able to achieve a normal BMI over a year of follow-up, and the common problem of weight cycling. However, there are points to consider when interpreting these results: The probability of obtaining a normal BMI over a year was very low: only 1 in 210 for men and 1 in 124 for women in the "simple obese" category of 30 to 35kg/m2, and much lower than that for the higher categor...
