Background: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a serious medical condition that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Identification of risk factors associated with CDI and prompt recognition of patients at risk is key to successfully preventing CDI.
Methods: A 3-year prospective, observational, cohort study was conducted in a French university hospital and a nested case-control study was performed to identify risk factors for CDI.
Background: Causes of weight loss failure after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are still controversial. The impact of the size of the sleeve continues to be debated.
Objective: The aim of our study was to determine the impact of sleeve volumes assessed at 3 months using gastric computed tomography (CT) on weight loss at 18 months.
Objectives: The success of longitudinal sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is perceived as being potentially limited by dilatation of the remaining gastric tube during the follow-up. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence and the characteristics of sleeve dilatation during the first post-operative year.
Materials And Methods: Gastric volumetry using 3D gastric computed tomography with gas expansion was performed in 54 successive subjects who underwent an LSG for morbid obesity at 3 and 12 months following surgery.
Background: Sarcopenic obesity is the combination of low muscle mass and strength with increased fat mass. This condition is associated with negative health outcomes. We hypothesized that sarcopenia could be a pejorative factor on surgical weight loss.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Bariatric surgery for severe obesity has become an effective and accepted treatment for sustained weight loss.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to analyze the complications and issues raised by the experts on which jury or judges' decisions were made for the different types of bariatric surgery.
Setting: University Hospital, France.
