Abstract
Morbid obesity has a major impact on both the duration and quality of life. It can be accompanied by vascular, respiratory, joint and metabolic complications (such as type 2 diabetes) which can shorten life expectancy, and some cancers are also more frequent in obese individuals. Recent demographic...

Abstract
Our aim was to study whether, similar to other vagally mediated processes, the accommodation reflex is also determined by cephalic, oropharyngeal, gastric, and intestinal phases. Eleven healthy subjects underwent in randomized order five gastric barostat studies and two satiety drinking tests. In al...

Abstract
Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for end-stage liver disease. In liver transplant recipients, morbid obesity influences post-operative survival and graft function. In 1996, our patient underwent a successful liver transplantation because of a HCV-related liver failure (body mass inde...

Abstract
QOL scores revealed a significant improvement in many health domains, with an earlier improvement with the disease-specific HRQL, whereas the generic QOL questionnaire lagged behind. However, in the end, the SF-36 caught up completely to normal-weight levels, whereas some scales of the HRQL remained...

Abstract
Significant BMI, excess body weight loss percentage, and body weight loss percentage (BWL%) were observed at t0 (29.6+/-4.6 kg/m2; 29.3+/-4.8%; 14.1+/-5.7%), followed by partial weight regain at t12 (32.4+/-4.3 kg/m2; 26.1+/-4.9%; 11.2+/-4.6%). Incidence of metabolic syndrome dropped from 34.8% (pre...

We have introduced intragastric balloon placement (IGB) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) into Japan since 2004. We performed IGB in 23 morbidly obese patients with 40 +/- 9 kg/m2 (BMI). When the balloon were removed after 5 months, the averaged weight loss and percent excess weight...

The majority of patients (70%) were female. Prior to IBT, mean patient weight was 149.9 +/- 36.8 kg (male 184.7 +/- 38.1 kg, female 135 +/- 26.5 kg). At six months follow-up, mean weight of patients reduced to 133.5 +/- 34.3kg (male 166.8 +/- 33.3 kg, female 119.3 +/- 25.9 kg). The overall percentag...

We pooled 15 articles (3,608 patients) to estimate BIBs effectiveness. The estimates for weight lost at balloon removal for BIB were the following: 14.7 kg, 12.2% of initial weight, 5.7 kg/m(2), and 32.1% of excess weight. However, data were scant after balloon removal. Yet, efficacy at balloon remo...

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder with considerable health risks, which can be approved by a sustained modest weight loss. This can be achieved by medical treatment through behavioral therapy, diet, exercise and pharmacotherapy. Surgery is often needed for the severely obese. Intragastric ball...

Abstract
Gastric ballons (GB) were introduced in 37 patients (34 women and 3 men) aged from 18 through 57 years (mean age 35.2 years) for treatment of different forms of excess body weight and obesity. Mean index of the body mass at the moment of introducing the balloon was 102.3+/-8 kg varying within the ra...

The dynamics of conservative treatment of 1091 patients was analyzed for the period from 1964 through 2000. Best results were obtained when instead of traditional hemostatic therapy the patients were treated by combined methods aimed not only at obtaining hemostasis but also at elimination of disord...

Before BIB insertion, 18 patients (15%) showed mild EE (16 grade A and 2 grade B). After BIB removal, EE was observed in 22 patients (18.2%): 11 grade A, 7 grade B, 4 grade C-D. The difference in the prevalence of EE after BIB was statistically significant (Wilcoxon's test P =0.030). CONCLUSION: EE...
