- Early diagnosis of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in morbidly obese patients is crucial, and this study examined how sleeve gastrectomy (SG) impacts certain biomarkers related to atherosclerosis.
- After comparing metabolic and inflammatory markers in patients undergoing SG and a control group, significant differences were observed at baseline, with the surgery group showing marked improvements at 12 months, coinciding with substantial weight loss.
- The reduction in biomarkers linked to atherosclerosis, including sLOX-1, indicates that SG may help prevent CVD by minimizing endothelial damage, positioning sLOX-1 as a potential marker for cardiovascular issues in morbidly obese individuals.
Obesity is a common outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that exacerbates principal TBI symptom domains identified as common areas of post-TBI long-term dysfunction. Obesity is also associated with increased risk of later-life dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Patients with obesity and chronic TBI may be more vulnerable to long-term mental abnormalities.
