Bariatric/metabolic surgery: the diabetologists view
Summary
Bariatric surgery effectively treats obesity and its metabolic complications, particularly type 2 diabetes. This review explores surgical mechanisms, compares it to drug therapy, and discusses patient management for improved diabetes outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Metabolic Surgery
- Obesity Medicine
- Diabetes Management
Background:
- Bariatric surgery is a primary treatment for severe obesity.
- Growing evidence highlights its efficacy in managing obesity-related metabolic disorders, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review studies on bariatric surgery's impact on obesity's metabolic complications.
- To discuss mechanisms driving diabetes remission post-surgery.
- To compare bariatric surgery with intensive pharmacological treatment for type 2 diabetes.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of studies on bariatric surgery and metabolic complications.
- Analysis of comparative studies between surgical and pharmacological interventions.
- Inclusion of recent consensus guidelines and practical patient management aspects.
Main Results:
- Bariatric surgery demonstrates significant efficacy in treating metabolic complications of obesity.
- Mechanisms for diabetes improvement/remission are explored.
- Comparative data suggests potential advantages over intensive drug therapy in certain contexts.
Conclusions:
- Bariatric surgery is a key therapeutic option for type 2 diabetes in obese patients.
- Updated consensus supports integrating bariatric surgery into diabetes treatment algorithms.
- Comprehensive patient preparation and long-term follow-up are crucial for optimal outcomes.

01:29Econometric Views (EViews)
569
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
4.5K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:24Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition
299
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
5.1K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

14.1K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
