Sleep and Severe Obesity [PDF]
, 2016 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 ...

Severe Obesity and Heart Failure
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2022Obesity is associated with reduced mortality in some patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF). In this analysis, we determine if this nonlinear relation, referred to as the obesity paradox, extends to secondary outcomes in patients diagnosed with severe obesity.

Surgical therapy for weight loss is an effective treatment for patients with severe obesity who also present with obesity-related comorbidities. Surgical approaches include both restrictive and malabsorptive procedures that will induce weight loss and improvement of comorbid conditions.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2001
Although obesity is an easy diagnosis to make, its etiologies, pathophysiology, and symptomatology are extraordinarily complex. Progress in surgical technique and anesthesiological management has substantially improved the safety of performing operations on the severely obese in the last 20 years.

Psychological aspects of severe obesity
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992Studies of several overweight persons conducted before their undergoing antiobesity surgery have shown 1) that there is no single personality type that characterizes the severely obese; 2) that this population does not report greater levels of general psychopathology than do average-weight control subjects; and 3) that the complications specific to ...

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

Glomerular hemodynamics in severe obesity
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2000Differential solute clearances were used to characterize glomerular function in 12 nondiabetic subjects with severe obesity (body mass index >38). Nine healthy subjects served as the control group. In the obese group, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) exceeded the control value by 51 and 31%, respectively.

Psychological Impact of Severe Obesity
Current Obesity Reports, 2016The causes of severe obesity are multifactorial and include metabolic, dietary, physical, and psychological aspects. Additionally, the impact of severe obesity affects more than one's physical health. This article attempts to explore the psychological impact of severe obesity specifically in the areas of mood, eating disorders, sleep disturbance ...

Variation in FTO contributes to childhood obesity and severe adult obesity [PDF]
Nature Genetics, 2007 We identified a set of SNPs in the first intron of the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene on chromosome 16q12.2 that is consistently strongly associated with early-onset and severe obesity in both adults and children of European ancestry with an experiment-wise P value of 1.67 x 10(-26) in 2,900 affected individuals and 5,100 controls.
