Lapband Seminar Port Lap Surgery
Recent advances in surgical treatment for obesity include laparoscopic gastric banding surgery, which provides a partnership for sustained weight loss. Obesity is defined as a BMI over 30 and affects 20% of adults, increasing risks for diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and some cancers. While diet and behavior changes often fail to maintain long-term weight loss, surgery has been shown to produce 60% excess weight loss after 2 years through a gradual process, resolving comorbidities. The LAP-BAND system works by allowing small meals to satisfy hunger for long periods, providing an adjustable tool for significant weight loss.
Lapband Seminar Port Lap Surgery
This document discusses recent advances in surgical treatment for obesity, focusing on laparoscopic gastric band surgery. It provides definitions of obesity, discusses the prevalence and health risks of obesity in Australia. It then summarizes the LAP-BAND system, how it works to promote weight loss through gradual restriction of food intake and sustained feelings of fullness. It notes that LAP-BAND produces similar long-term weight loss as more invasive surgeries, with affordable costs covered partly by private health insurance. Interested patients are instructed to contact the clinic for a consultation.
Seminar 30-11-2013 Sarcopenie en osteoporose
- Sarcopenia predicts physical, psychological and social outcomes and is interrelated with other organ systems. There is no clear consensus definition yet for sarcopenia.
- Resistance, endurance and balance training along with proper nutrition can help prevent sarcopenia, but targeted drug therapies may be available in the next few years to better prevent muscle decline and increase muscle mass.
- Understanding the mechanisms of sarcopenia at a molecular level could provide new drug targets related to myostatin inhibition, Wnt signaling or elimination of senescent cells to treat or reverse sarcopenia.
Welch Final Poster
This study examined how weight loss affects resting metabolic rate and its relationship to lean muscle mass and fitness levels in obese adults. Obese men and women were placed on a very low calorie diet and exercise program to lose 15% of their body weight over 3 months. Their resting metabolic rate, body composition via DXA scan, and fitness via VO2 max test were measured at baseline and after weight loss. The results found that resting metabolic rate, lean mass, and fitness all decreased with weight loss. While resting metabolic rate was positively correlated with lean mass at both timepoints, the changes in each were not correlated, suggesting other factors also influence changes in resting metabolic rate with weight loss.
Body mass index: Is it relevant for Indians?
Obesity is defined as excessive unhealthy accumulation of body fat. India has the third largest obese population in the world after United States of America and China. Prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions in parts of India. In some urban areas, up to a third of the population is either overweight or obese. Childhood and adolescent obesity is also rising rapidly. If this trend continues, certain sections of Indian society may start seeing declining life expectancy in India after many decades of steady progress. Early diagnosis of overweight and obesity may prevent progression to more severe forms associated with complications. In this review, we examine the usefulness of Body Mass Index in diagnosis of obesity in Asian Indian population and the debate surrounding the call for a downward revision of “normal” range in this population.

Exercise as a Preventative Measure in Women with BRCA Gene Mutations
Women who test positive for one of the two breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, increase their risk by 45-55 percent. Currently, there are no specific physical activity recommendations for these women. However, research supports the positive effect of exercise on reducing breast cancer risk by reducing BMI, adipose tissue, and damage caused by lipid peroxidation.

Slides from Dr Ellen Copson's presentation at Obesity, Physical Activity & Cancer: Life course influences and mechanismsShort and long term results of gastric bypass
Gastric bypass surgery results in significant and long-lasting weight loss and health improvements according to multiple studies:
- A study of over 57,000 patients found that gastric bypass led to an average 65% excess weight loss that was maintained at 49% excess weight loss after 14 years.
- A Swedish study found an average weight loss of over 30% of initial body weight 10 years after gastric bypass or other bariatric surgeries compared to continued obesity in control patients.
- Studies show gastric bypass reduces the risk of death by 89% over 5 years compared to continued obesity and resolves or significantly improves obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes in a high percentage of patients.

Assessment of Body Composition by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Type 2 ...SSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences
This study assessed body composition in Indian women with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to non-diabetic controls. Body composition was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. The study found that women with type 2 diabetes had higher BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat percentage compared to controls. They also had lower lean body mass percentage. This suggests that abdominal obesity and excess body fat are associated with type 2 diabetes in Indian women.Renehan opac2013
1) The document summarizes a presentation on the relationships between obesity, physical activity, and colorectal cancer risk and outcomes.
2) It discusses how increased BMI is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer in a gender- and site-specific manner, and how weight gain, especially in early adulthood, can increase colon cancer risk.
3) It also reviews how measurements of waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio may be associated with colorectal cancer risk independent of BMI, and how analyses of cancer survival have shown mixed results depending on whether BMI is measured before or after cancer diagnosis.
Th lam opac203
This document summarizes a presentation on racial and ethnic differences in obesity given by Professor TH Lam. Some key points:
- Asians generally have higher body fat percentage at a given BMI compared to Caucasians. The same is true for different ethnic groups within Asia.
- Studies show associations between obesity measures like BMI, waist circumference, and body fat percentage with health risks like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, more data is needed comparing different ethnic groups using standardized methods.
- Factors like socioeconomic development and differences between populations in different regions/countries may help explain some ethnic/racial differences in obesity and health risks. Considering populations at different stages of obesity epidemics is also important.
EB2016_Meta_Oral_Final
A meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials found that a high protein diet attenuates weight-loss induced bone loss in healthy adults compared to a normal protein diet. Specifically, higher protein diets were found to possibly attenuate loss of lumbar bone mineral density, though the clinical significance is uncertain. The analysis concluded that higher protein diets can be used for weight loss without negatively impacting bone health in middle-aged women.
Weight loss surgery safe & effective
This document discusses obesity, its causes and health risks, and the evidence that bariatric surgery is an effective treatment option. It provides details on different types of bariatric surgeries performed since the 1950s and their effectiveness based on clinical studies. It also outlines patient selection criteria and risks for bariatric surgery, and discusses how surgery works to induce weight loss and resolve obesity-related diseases through hormonal and other physiological changes.

EB2015_Egg_Final
1) A 12-week study compared the effects of a high protein, high egg diet to a normal protein diet without eggs on body composition, muscle health, and inflammation in overweight older adults.
2) Both diets resulted in about 3kg of weight loss but the high protein, high egg diet helped retain more lean mass.
3) The high protein, high egg diet did not significantly influence muscle composition, metabolic health markers, or inflammation levels but may be an effective way to increase protein intake and improve body composition during weight loss in older adults.
Presentation
This study assessed the nutritional status and knowledge of 60 post-operative coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients in India. The results showed that most patients had a poor nutritional status, as over 60% were overweight or obese. Many patients had medical histories of diabetes and hypertension. The dietary surveys found that over 65% of patients consumed below the recommended daily calorie intake, with low protein and fiber intake. Patients' diets relied on readily available and inexpensive foods like refined wheat products, with high fat and low fruit and vegetable consumption. The study concluded that patients lacked nutritional knowledge and consumed an unbalanced diet, suggesting the need for pre-surgical nutrition education and status assessments.

This study compared two methods for measuring body fat percentage in overweight individuals - skinfold thickness (SF) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). 85 overweight or obese adults and elderly patients were evaluated. The percentage of body fat estimated by SF was significantly higher than BIA, but a moderate correlation and strong concordance was observed between the two methods. Both SF and BIA showed significant correlations with BMI and waist circumference, but BIA had stronger correlations. The study concluded that while the methods produced different estimates, they provided similar classifications of individuals. BIA also had better correlation with anthropometric indicators, suggesting it may be a preferable method for measuring body fat in clinical practice.

This study examined the immune and inflammatory responses to resistance exercise in breast cancer survivors compared to healthy controls. Blood samples were taken before and after an acute bout of resistance exercise to measure leukocyte counts and cytokine levels. The results showed no significant differences between the groups in leukocyte counts, granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, IL-6, IL-10, or TNF-α at any time point. Both groups did experience a significant increase in IL-6 two hours post and decrease in TNF-α 24 hours post exercise. However, the small sample size limits the ability to draw firm conclusions.
Surgical options for morbid obesity
This document discusses total knee arthroplasty and surgical options for morbid obesity. It defines morbid obesity as having a BMI over 40 or over 37.5 for Asians. Surgical interventions like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy are described as the most effective treatments for achieving significant and long-term weight loss for those with morbid obesity. These procedures work by restricting food intake and sometimes interfering with nutrient absorption. The risks of morbid obesity include diabetes, cancer, heart disease and early mortality which can be reduced through successful weight loss surgery.

Celecoxib alleviates tamoxifen-instigated angiogenic effects by ROS-dependent...Enrique Moreno Gonzalez
Tamoxifen (TAM) is widely used in the chemotherapy of breast cancer and as a preventive agent against recurrence after surgery. However, extended TAM administration for breast cancer induces increased VEGF levels in patients, promoting new blood vessel formation and thereby limiting its efficacy. Celecoxib (CXB), a selective COX-2 inhibitor, suppresses VEGF gene expression by targeting the VEGF promoter responsible for its inhibitory effect. For this study, we had selected CXB as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in combination with TAM for suppressing VEGF expression and simultaneously reducing doses of both the drugs. Thompson opac2013
The document discusses a presentation given by Henry J. Thompson from the Cancer Prevention Laboratory at Colorado State University on the relationship between energy metabolism and cancer processes. It summarizes evidence from animal models on how energy restriction affects carcinogenesis and discusses the cellular and molecular mechanisms linking energy status and cancer. The presentation aims to stimulate discussion on challenges and opportunities in further researching this topic.
Byers opac2013
This document discusses the relationship between obesity and cancer. It notes that cancer causes more deaths worldwide than malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, or childhood diarrhea combined. Obesity is a leading cause of several types of cancer. Randomized controlled trials have shown that intentional weight loss reduces levels of inflammatory markers like CRP that are implicated in cancer development. Understanding the biological mechanisms such as hormones, growth factors, and inflammation linking obesity to cancer can help identify targets for prevention through lifestyle changes and weight management.
Introducing Liver Surgery In Port Macquarie
This document discusses introducing liver surgery to a regional hospital in Port Macquarie, Australia. It addresses whether there is a need for liver surgery, if it can be done safely with the local expertise available, and provides some preliminary results. Specifically, it notes that between 2008-2009 they completed 21 major and 4 minor liver resections with encouraging preliminary results and low mortality and morbidity rates. It concludes that it has been a challenging but exciting time to introduce liver surgery to the regional hospital with enthusiastic colleagues, and their preliminary results have been encouraging.

This document summarizes the history and current state of obesity. It begins with a case study and outlines treatment. It then reviews how obesity was once seen positively in art but now stigmatized. Obesity increased with agriculture and reduced hunger. The document defines obesity using BMI and lists its complications. It examines obesity demographics, costs, and failed diet strategies. Some diets showed modest short term weight loss but long term success is challenging due to biological and behavioral factors. Sugar intake is linked to increased obesity and chronic diseases.

Controversies in type 2 diabetes mellitus
This document discusses controversies around type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including the growing global epidemic and its relationship to obesity. Weight loss through lifestyle interventions can help prevent and treat T2DM. Early insulin therapy may help preserve pancreatic beta cell function by reducing glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity, and may provide cardioprotection by helping reach glycemic targets. While weight loss can be more difficult for those with T2DM, lifestyle and medical interventions can still help manage the disease.

P488 obesity
This document discusses obesity, overweight, and their health risks. It defines obesity as a BMI of 30 or higher, or excessive body fat. Obesity is estimated to exceed smoking as a leading cause of preventable death. While genetics play a role, lifestyle factors like diet and exercise are the primary determinants of weight gain. Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity can help prevent obesity-related diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise and behavior therapy, while very severe obesity may also be treated with medications or surgery in some cases.

Preventing diabetes and obesity in mental health disorders
This document summarizes a presentation on preventing diabetes and obesity in patients with mental health issues. It discusses how mental health disorders are associated with higher risks of diabetes and metabolic syndrome due to genetic and lifestyle factors as well as some medications used to treat mental health conditions. Treatment of diabetes and other vascular risk factors is essential for patients with mental health issues since premature death is often due to cardiovascular disease rather than suicide. The presentation emphasizes preventing and early identification of diabetes and metabolic syndrome through lifestyle counseling, monitoring weight and metabolic markers, and treating obesity and diabetes when present.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
