Effects of weight intervention-induced changes in pathological fat mass of patients with extreme obesity and anorexia nervosa on adipokines and visceral adipocyte functions: a prospective, comparative, observational study.

Objective: Adipose tissue is the largest endocrine organ in the human body, and as its mass changes, the serum levels of the molecules it secretes also change. Visceral adipose tissue index (VAI) is a simple surrogate marker of visceral adipose tissue dysfunction. This study evaluated the effects of changes in fat mass on adipocytokine behavior and VAI in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and extreme obesity (EO).

Electrochemical skin conductances values and clinical factors affecting sudomotor dysfunction in patients with prediabetes, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes: A single center experience.

Background And Aim: Sudomotor dysfunction is linked to small fibers damage. We investigated sudomotor dysfunction in a large group of participants with diabetes, prediabetes, and nondiabetic healthy subjects. This study aimed to complete knowledge on sudomotor dysfunction in this population, especially regarding the threshold values for the electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) and factors affecting it.

Status of Weight Change, Lifestyle Behaviors, Depression, Anxiety, and Diabetes Mellitus in a Cohort with Obesity during the COVID-19 Lockdown: Turk-Com Study Group.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to a lockdown period. Confinement periods have been related to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Our study aimed to determine weight change, changes in eating and exercise habits, the presence of depression and anxiety, and diabetes mellitus (DM) status in a cohort of patients with obesity.

Is belching increasing after bariatric bypass surgery in the long term period?

Background And Aims: Gastric bypass surgery effectively treats obesity; however, its association with belching, which occurs in other bariatric surgeries, remains unclear. Hence, we aimed to evaluate belching occurrence after gastric bypass surgery.

Methods: We enrolled 12 healthy volunteers and 17 patients (12 and 5 underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and mini-gastric bypass surgeries 24 (18-54) months prior, respectively).
