Increasing weight and body fat composition has an impact on cancer detection and staging. Obese women are less likely to engage in breast and cervical screening practices. Excessive adipose tissue makes physical assessment more difficult, and patients with a BMI greater than 35 kg/m2 may have deeper and wider pelvic structures, which make internal ...

VAGOTOMY FOR TREATMENT OF SEVERE OBESITY
The Lancet, 1978Three women weighing 137, 133, and 135 kg underwent truncal vagotomy; after 16, 20, and 24 weeks they had lost 10, 17, and 19 kg respectively without serious side-effects. No dietary restrictions have been imposed, but they are eating less than they were preoperatively and report a total lack of hunger.

Morbidity of severely obese subjects
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992The prevalences of several risk factors and diseases are dramatically increased in obesity. In contrast, considerable inconsistencies have been reported for the relationship of obesity to the incidence of cardiovascular disease and total mortality. Suggested reasons for these inconsistencies have been confounders and surrogate risk factors, but the ...

Mortality of severely obese subjects
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992All large prospective studies (n greater than 20,000) and several smaller studies have found that severe obesity [body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 35 kg/m2] is associated with approximately a twofold increase in total mortality and in a severalfold increase in mortality due to diabetes, cerebro-, and cardiovascular disease, and certain ...

Behavioral treatment of severe obesity
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992Behavioral approaches to obesity are usually employed in the context of short-term (10-20 wk) treatment interventions. These programs produce weight losses averaging 10 kg at the end of the program and 6.6 kg at 1-y follow-up. Improvements in long-term results may depend on a shift to a chronic disease model of obesity treatment, in which patients ...

Gastric bypass surgery for severe obesity
Seminars in Laparoscopic Surgery, 2002Severe obesity is associated with a number of co-morbidities. Medical weight reduction programs have not been proven to have long-term efficacy for these severely obese patients. Surgically induced weight loss has been found to completely reverse or markedly ameliorate obesity-related problems.

Bariatric surgery has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for patients with severe obesity, producing improvements in many comorbid conditions, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and dyslipidemia. The loss of body weight and resolution of comorbidities have been more recently found to be the result of ...

The progression of the prevalence of obesity worldwide should be preoccupying in the field of anesthesiology. In addition to the multisystemic morbidities, the respiratory and cardiac morbidity associated with severe obesity needs to be very well investigated prior to surgery and during the perioperative period. More essential is the evaluation and the

This chapter briefly outlines normal sleep architecture and the important elements needed for sleep to function adequately and is followed by characteristics of sleep (quantity, quality, and duration) that have been related to obesity. Treatment options that are available for the obstructive sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (the two ...
