Obesity: ‘Switch’ in brain controls weight gain

A new study suggests that excess weight gain may be due to a faulty ‘switch’ in the brain, which promotes the retention of fat in the body.

Comment on: Colectomy for patients with super obesity – current practice and surgical morbidity in the United States July 31, 2020

In the early years of laparoscopy, morbid obesity was considered a relative contra-indication for a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approach. Over the past few decades however, laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures have become the standard of care for patients with morbid obesity undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery with adoption rates approaching 100% [1]. The open […]

Effect of Sleeve gastrectomy on The Expression of Meteorin-Like (METRNL) and Irisin (FNDC5) in Muscle and Brown Adipose Tissue and its Impact on Uncoupling Proteins (UCPs) in Diet Induced Obesity Rats July 31, 2020

Bariatric surgery is well established as a treatment for obesity and associated complications. This procedure improves metabolic homeostasis through changes in energy expenditure. We hypothesized that sleeve gastrectomy (SG) improves metabolic homeostasis by modulating energy expenditure and enhancing thermogenesis through increasing the expression level of meteorin-like protein (METRNL) and fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 […]

Derangement of Esophageal Anatomy and Motility in Morbidly Obese Patients: a Prospective Study Based on High-resolution Impedance Manometry July 31, 2020

Morbidly obese patients often suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). High-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) allows a comprehensive evaluation of esophageal motility and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) morphology and helps to clarify GERD pathophysiology.

Pouch Volume and Pouch Migration after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Comparison of Gastroscopy and 3D-CT Volumetry – Is there a “Migration Crisis”? July 31, 2020

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the second most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide. While pouch migration is a common phenomenon after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), it has hardly been documented after RYGB so far.

Response to letter to editor July 31, 2020

I would like to thank Dr Palma and Colleagues for their interest in our article, “Late-term hiatal hernia after gastric bypass: an emerging problem”[1]. They correctly point out that our series did not specifically include remarks on the preoperative status of the patients’ hiatus, specifically if there was a preexisiting hiatal hernia (HH) or not.
