The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) for obesity
Wendy Brown discusses the LAGB procedure and the importance of follow up and a multidisciplinary approach to achieve sustained weight loss and manage problems and complications. Sustained weight loss and improved quality of life following a LAGB procedure depends on a multidisciplinary team (including surgeon, GP, nurse, dietician and psychologist) to meet patient needs of band adjustments, ongoing education about food choices and exercise, monitoring for nutritional and device complications and coping with psychological issues. Roles for the GP in the team include monitoring for ‘alert symptoms’ of volume reflux, noct...

JAMA: 2008-12-17, Vol. 300, No. 23, Author in the Room™ Audio Interview
Interview with David J.A. Jenkins, MD, PhD, author of Effect of a Low Glycemic Index or a High Cereal Fiber Diet on Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Trial. Summary Points: 1. Drugs such as the a–glucosidase inhibitor acarbose, which reduces the rate of digestion and absorption of carbohydrate and so flattens the post prandial glycemic response, have been shown to improve diabetes control, reduce the risk of developing hypertension, and lower the risk for cardiovascular disease. 2. Can a selection of more slowly digested carbohydrate foods achieve qualitatively similar benefits to drugs? Current data suggest that selection o...

Aches and Pains and Osteoarthritis
GP Dr Louise Stone discusses assessment and management of osteoarthritis in General Practice with Dr Kathryn O'Connor. Patient history is important; especially duration and severity of pain. Alternative diagnoses should be considered and excluded. Education and patient self management are vital as the management of osteoarthritis happens mainly outside the consulting room. Treatment modalities include exercise, weight loss, topical and oral medications, appliances. Referral to a surgeon may be required to allow the patient to gather information about future treatment options. Oraganisations such as Arthritis Australia can ...

JAMA: 2008-03-12, Vol. 299, No. 10, Author in the Room™ Audio Interview
Interview with Laura P. Svetky, MD, MHS, author of Comparison of Strategies for Sustaining Weight Loss: The Weight Loss Maintenance Randomized Controlled Trial. Summary Points: 1. Weight loss is feasible and long term weight loss is possible. 2. Ongoing personal contact and technology based interventions were effective but the overall benefits were small. 3. The role of clinicians is to reinforce the message that weight loss can prevent and treat multiple chronic conditions. Even small amounts of weight loss can lead to significant health benefits. 4. Our focus should be on long term healthy life style changes rather than ...
