Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study including patients with morbid obesity followed in our centre between January 2010 and July 2018. ...
Beta Cell Function as a Baseline Predictor of Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery
Borges-Canha, M; Neves, JS; Mendonça, F; Silva, MM; Costa, C; M Cabral, P; Guerreiro, V; Lourenço, R; Meira, P; Salazar, D; Ferreira, MJ; Pedro, JBackground: Obesity is a multifactorial disease, which is strongly associated to other metabolic disorders. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment of morbid obesity. The role of beta cell function in weight loss after bariatric surgery is uncertain. Aim: To evaluate the association between beta cell function and percentage of total body weight loss (TBWL%) 1, 2, 3, and 4 years after bariatric surgery...
Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Among Bariatric Patients: Unraveling the Prevalen...
Mendonça, FM; Neves, JS; Silva, MM; Borges Canha, M; Costa, C; Cabral, PM; Guerreiro, V; Lourenço, R; Meira, P; Correia, Flora; Salazar, D; Pedro, JIntroduction Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective therapeutic approach to obesity. It is associated with great gastrointestinal anatomic changes, predisposing the patients to altered nutrient absorption that impacts phosphocalcium metabolism. This study aimed to clarify the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and its predictors in patients submitted to BS. Methods Retrospective study of 1...
Thyroid Function and the Risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Morbid Ob...
Borges-Canha, M; Neves, JS; Mendonça, F; Silva, MM; Costa, C; Cabral, PM; Guerreiro, V; Lourenço, R; Meira, P; Salazar, D; Ferreira, MJ; Pedro, JBackground: An association between hypothyroidism and the risk of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has been suggested. This association remains to be elucidated in patients with morbid obesity. Aim: To evaluate the association between thyroid function and parameters of liver function and hepatic scores in patients with morbid obesity. Methods: Patients with morbid obesity followed in our center between...
