Purpose: A remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the major goals of the contemporary bariatric surgery. The goal of our study is to identify predictors of short-term postoperative diabetes remission in order to facilitate preoperative patient selection.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred forty-five obese (body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2) T2DM subjects who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were followed up to 1 year after bariatric surgery. Diabetes remission was defined as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤6 % and fasting blood glucose (FBG) <100 mg/dl in absence of all diabetic medications.
Results: Twenty-six percent of the patients seen in f/u achieved complete remission at 1 year. Average Hba1c decreased from 8 to 6.7% and 6.4% after 6 and 12 months, respectively. Regression analysis showed that age (p = 0.01), number of diabetes complications (p = 0.03), family history of diabetes (p = 0.04), preoperative use of insulin (p = 0.04), and peri- and postoperative weight loss (p = 0.05, for both) were the best preoperative predictors of diabetes remission at 6 and 12 months (R(2) = 0.3).
Conclusion: Younger patients, with fewer diabetic complications, no family history of diabetes, not using insulin, and with greater peri- and postoperative weight loss were the best candidates to achieve a rapid diabetes remission after RYGB.

Aim: To investigate the effect of weight loss and metabolic improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in older adults aged 65 years or over compared with younger adults in a retrospective analysis.
Methods: The J-SMART study database of 322 Japanese individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥32 kg/m who underwent LSG between 2011 and 2014 at 10 centers accredited by the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity were analyzed. The subjects were classified into two groups: ≥65 age group (range, 65-76 years; n = 25) and <65 age group (range, 22-64 years; n = 297).

Background: Previous studies suggested an important role of impairments in T cell subsets in different stages during type 1 diabetes (T1D) development, while data regarding CD25high T cells and transforming growth factor b1 (TGFβ1), both T regulatory associated, remains controversial. We analyzed the level of (a) CD25high T cells (b) TGFβ1 in 17 first-degree relatives of patients with T1D in stage 1 (FDRs1) (GADA+, IA-2+); 34 FDRs in stage 0 (FDRs0) (GADA, IA-2); 24 recent-onset T1D in insulin-requiring state (IRS); 10 patients in clinical remission (CR); 18 healthy, unrelated controls (CTR).
Methods: T cell subsets were characterized by two-color immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry; TGFβ1 was determined by ELISA, GADA, and IA-2 by RIA.

Obesity is a major global health problem and at the same time a financial burden for social security systems. For a long time, conventional lifestyle interventions have tried unsuccessfully to find a solution. It has been proven that only interventions that ultimately address the central control centers of hunger, appetite and satiety will lead to sustained weight loss.

Background: Conversional surgery following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is required in about 20 % of patients due to suboptimal outcomes. Single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass (SADI) has emerged as an option for such cases, though long-term outcomes remain unclear. This review analyzed available data on SADI as a conversional or second-stage procedure after SG.

Background: The prevalence of obesity has risen dramatically worldwide. Beyond its metabolic implications, obesity profoundly impacts sexual health, particularly in males, with erectile dysfunction (ED) emerging as a prevalent and distressing co-morbidity. Studies show that bariatric surgery alleviates ED.
