1) Widespread cinematic impairment was the rule in the studied population. 2) These findings are consistent with poor skeletal muscle performance, high metabolic expenditure and constant physical exhaustion. 3) Attention should be paid not only to the metabolic management but also to the physical rehabilitation required in cases of advanced obesity.
1) Individuals with morbid obesity present important postural alterations. 2) Seriously altered posture was the rule for the obese population in this study, especially in the spine, knees and feet. 3) Most patients had compatible clinical complaints, but they rarely associated the bone and joint pain with the obesity and axial skeleton deviations. 4) Planned physical activity should be part of the treatment of severe obesity, in order to correct deviations, prevent new ones, and improve quality of life.
PURPOSE:To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging of the knee in identifying traumatic intraarticular knee lesions. METHOD: 300 patients with a clinical diagnosis of traumatic intraarticular knee lesions underwent prearthoscopic magnetic resonance imaging. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, likelihood ratio for a positive test, likelihood ratio for a negative test, and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging were calculated relative to the findings during arthroscopy in the studied structures of the knee (medial meniscus, lateral meniscus, anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, and articular cartilage). RESULTS: Magnetic resonance imaging produced the following results regarding detection of lesions: medial meniscus: sensitivity 97.5%, specificity 92.9%, positive predictive value 93.9%, positive negative value 97%, likelihood positive ratio 13.7, likelihood negative ratio 0.02, and accuracy 95.3%; lateral meniscus: sensitivity 91.9%, specificity 93.6%, positive predictive value 92.7%, positive negative value 92.9%, likelihood positive ratio 14.3, likelihood negative ratio 0.08, and accuracy 93.6%; anterior cruciate ligament: sensitivity 99.0%, specificity 95.9%, positive predictive value 91.9%, positive negative value 99.5%, likelihood positive ratio 21.5, likelihood negative ratio 0.01, and accuracy 96.6%; posterior cruciate ligament: sensitivity 100%, specificity 99%, positive predictive value 80.0%, positive negative value 100%, likelihood positive ratio 100, likelihood negative ratio 0.01, and accuracy 99.6%; articular cartilage: sensitivity 76.1%, specificity 94.9%, positive predictive value 94.7%, positive negative value 76.9%, likelihood positive ratio 14.9, likelihood negative ratio 0.25, and accuracy 84.6%. CONCLUSION: Magnetic resonance imaging is a satisfactory diagnostic tool for evaluating meniscal and ligamentous lesions of the knee, but it is unable to clearly identify articular cartilage lesions.
In the preoperative period, the obese group individuals showed higher oxidation and inflammation levels and lower indices of antioxidant defense than those of the control group. One year after RYGBP, an improvement in antioxidant protection, associated with a reduction in inflammatory and oxidative markers, was observed, indicating that these individuals presented a lower degree of oxidative stress.
Repercussão da perda de peso sobre parâmetros nutricionais e metabólicos de pacientes obesos graves após um ano de gastroplastia em Y-de-Roux 97 Rev. Col. Bras. Cir. 2010; 37(2): 096-101 peso acarretaria não só redução de PCR como também de interleucina-1 concomitantemente à diminuição na resistência periférica à insulina, diminuindo o risco de doença cardiovascular 8 . . . . . Sabe-se que, embora ocorra melhora clíni-ca após tratamento cirúrgico, o paciente necessitará de acompanhamento nutricional regular com o objetivo de promover uma reeducação alimentar para a aquisição de hábito dietético saudável, prevenindo deficiências de vitaminas e micronutrientes 9 . O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar, em pacientes com obesidade grave submetidos à gastroplastia vertical em Y de Roux, os efeitos da perda de peso sobre a glicemia, o perfil de lipídios, o metabolismo do ferro e a atividade inflamatória. MÉTODOS MÉTODOS MÉTODOS MÉTODOS MÉTODOSO objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar, em pacientes com obesidade grave submetidas à gastroplastia vertical em Y de Roux, os efeitos da perda de peso sobre a glicemia, o perfil de lipídios, o metabolismo do ferro e a atividade inflamatória.Todos os pacientes assinaram termo de consentimento e o protocolo de estudo foi totalmente aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da Universidade Estadual de Londrina.Realizou-se estudo prospectivo, clínico-nutricional, envolvendo 56 pacientes, 50 mulheres (89%) e seis homens (11%), média de idade de 40,2 ± 9,9 anos, submetidos à gastroplastia vertical em Y-de-Roux, no Serviço de Cirurgia do Aparelho Digestivo do Hospital Universitário de Londrina, Paraná.Todos os pacientes foram avaliados, mediante parâmetros clínicos, laboratoriais e nutricionais, antes do procedimento cirúrgico e após seis e 12 meses. Avaliação nutricional foi realizada mediante questionário de freqüên-cia alimentar e índice de massa corpórea (IMC (kg/m 2 ) = peso/estatura 2 ), e os pacientes classificados de acordo com recomendação da Organização Mundial de Saúde 10 . . . . . Após jejum de 12 horas, os pacientes foram submetidos aos seguintes exames laboratoriais sanguíneos: hemoglobina (automated counter -Pentra 120 Retic ABX), ferro, transferrina e ferritina (Método Ferrozine com analizador químico automático -Dimension AR, DadeBehring), glicose, colesterol total (colesterol oxidase), HDLcolesterol (precipitação seletiva) e triacilglicerol (lipase/ glicerol dehidrogenase -auto-analisador bioquímico Dade AR); LDL-colesterol (calculado pela equação de Friedwald); albumina (Método do verde de bromcresol) e proteína Creativa (nefelometria).Todos os dados estão apresentados como média ± desvio padrão. As variáveis medidas nos diferentes momentos do estudo foram testadas pela ANOVA, sendo o valor de P < 0,05 considerado como estatisticamente significante. RESULTADOS RESULTADOS RESULTADOS RESULTADOS RESULTADOSApós a gastroplastia em Y de Roux, foram observadas várias mudanças na ingestão alimentar habitual dos pacientes, haja vista que muitos relatavam diminuição na ingestão de arroz...
Excessive forefoot pressure and enlarged support area were a consequence of obesity, mirroring the efforts of the obese subject to acquire a wider and stronger support base. Although this is originally a physiological change, it may result in maladaptative and degenerative musculoskeletal consequences. Re-education exercises may be advised, in combination with bariatric surgery in the morbidly obese, aiming at restoration of normal gait and posture, as well as at minimization of stress damage to bones and joints in the axial skeleton.
RYGBP determined profound changes in urinary composition which predisposed to a lithogenic profile. The prevalence of urinary lithiasis increased almost 70% in the postoperative period. Postoperative urinary oxalate and uric acid were the only predictors for new stone formers.
Background:Sleeve gastrectomy may alter esophageal motility and lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Aim:To detect manometric changings in the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter before and after sleeve gastrectomy in order to select patients who could develop postoperative esophageal motilitity disorders and lower esophageal sphincter pressure modifications. Methods:Seventy-three patients were selected. All were submitted to manometry before the operation and one year after. The variables analyzed were: resting pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter, contraction wave amplitude, duration of contraction waves, and esophageal peristalsis. Data were compared before and after surgery and to the healthy and non-obese control group. Exclusion criteria were: previous gastric surgery, reflux symptoms or endoscopic findings of reflux or hiatal hernia, diabetes and use of medications that could affect esophageal or lower esophageal sphincter motility. Results:49% of the patients presented preoperative manometric alterations: lower esophageal sphincter hypertonia in 47%, lower esophageal sphincter hypotonia in 22% and increase in contraction wave amplitude in 31%. One year after surgery, manometry was altered in 85% of patients: lower esophageal sphincter hypertonia in 11%, lower esophageal sphincter hypotonia in 52%, increase in contraction wave amplitude in 27% and 10% with alteration in esophageal peristalsis. Comparing the results between the preoperative and postoperative periods, was found statistical significance for the variables of the lower esophageal sphincter, amplitude of contraction waves and peristalsis. Conclusion:Manometry in the preoperative period of sleeve gastrectomy is not an exam to select candidates to this technique.
