Obesity

1.6K
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

889
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Pharmacokinetics in Obese Patients: Drug Absorption and Distribution

413
Obesity significantly alters the pharmacokinetic processes of drug absorption and distribution, presenting unique challenges in medical treatment. The increased fat tissue and decreased lean muscle in obese individuals can significantly affect how drugs are absorbed into the body and distributed across different tissues. This alteration can lead to variances in the effectiveness and safety of medications, necessitating adjustments in dosing or drug selection for obese patients.One notable...

Area of Science:

  • Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery
  • Global Health Trends
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • The International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Diseases (IFSO) has conducted periodic global surveys of bariatric surgery since 1998.
  • Previous surveys were published in 2003, 2009, 2011, and 2012, establishing a historical data set.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive global overview of bariatric surgery procedures performed in 2013.
  • To analyze trends in bariatric surgery from 2003 to 2013.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to IFSO members to collect data on bariatric procedures performed in 2013.
  • Trend analyses were conducted using data from 2003 to 2013.
  • Data from 49 out of 54 (90.7%) IFSO members were included, with 37 national registries contributing.

Main Results:

  • A total of 468,609 bariatric procedures were performed worldwide in 2013, with 95.7% performed laparoscopically.
  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) was the most common procedure (45%), followed by sleeve gastrectomy (SG) (37%), and adjustable gastric banding (AGB) (10%).
  • Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) prevalence rose significantly from 0% in 2003 to 37% in 2013, while adjustable gastric banding (AGB) decreased by 68% from its 2008 peak.

Conclusions:

  • Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is now the most frequent procedure in the USA/Canada and Asia/Pacific regions, and second to RYGB in Europe and Latin/South America.
  • The study underscores the growing importance and adoption of SG in global bariatric surgery practices.
  • Establishing national registries is recommended to enhance the accuracy of future global bariatric surgery surveys.
