Objective: This prospective study performed to evaluate blood biomarkers alterations with administration of propofol for maintenance of anaesthesia during long oral and maxillofacial surgeries in order to estimate the risk of Propofol Infusion Syndrome (PRIS). This rare syndrome often would be happened in long duration or high dose infusion which is characterized by the combination of metabol...

Chronic vitamin D deficiency, inadequate calcium intake, and secondary hyperparathyroidism are common in obese individuals, placing them at risk for low bone mass and metabolic bone disease. After bariatric surgery, they are at even higher risk, owing to malabsorption and decreased oral intake. Meticulous preoperative screening, judicious use of vitamin and mineral supplements, addressing modif...

In order to characterize the pre-surgery metabolic properties of brain tumors and identify its prognostic importance, MRI and 3D H-MRSI (MR spectroscopic imaging) parameters for 43 malignant glioma patients were studied prior to surgery. A Survival tree was generated with a recursive partitioning method. The survival functions for groups of patients with different metabolic activity were compar...

On behalf of the 48 coauthors from our article reporting the findings and recommendations of the 2nd Diabetes Surgery Summit (DSS-II) (1), we sincerely thank Aberle and Göke (2) for their insightful comments about the consideration of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D) shortly after bariatric/metabolic surgery. The DSS-II was a consensus development...

With the rapid increase in obesity there has been a pronounced increase in obesity-related metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. Bariatric surgery is a highly effective treatment for achieving long-term weight loss and is increasingly recognised to have benefits in diabetes treatment and cause improvement in other metabolic factor...

Since the development of gastric bypass 50 years ago by Mason and Ito, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) gradually become the most durable and commonly performed bariatric surgery. RYGB has been shown to be effective in achieving significant and durable long-term weight loss as well as improving medical co-morbidities in morbidly obese patients, and currently regarded as a gold standard bariatric...

Chronic bilateral subthalamic stimulation leads to a spectacular clinical improvement in patients with motor complications. However, the post-operative body weight gain involved may limit the benefits of surgery and induce critical metabolic disorders. Twenty-four Parkinsonians (61.1 +/- 1.4 years) were examined 1 month before (M - 1) and 3 months after (M + 3) surgery. Body composition and ene...
