Are SADI-S and BPD/DS bariatric procedures identical twins or distant relatives...
Guimarães, M; Pereira, AM; Pereira, SS; Almeida, R; Lobato, CB; Hartmann, B; Holst, JJ; Nora, M; Monteiro, MGiven the common anatomical features and similar short-term weight loss outcomes, Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) and Single-Anastomosis Duodenoileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) are considered identical bariatric procedures, apart from technical complexity being lower for SADI-S. In the absence of prospective randomized trials or long-term comparative studies the rationale fo...
Congenital Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Deficiency in the Pathogenesis of Protracted...
Nóbrega, S; Monteiro, MP; Pereira-da-Silva, L; Pereira, SS; Hartmann, B; Holst, JJ; Barbosa Silva, R; Cordeiro-Ferreira, GContext: Mitchell-Riley syndrome due to RFX6 gene mutations is characterized by neonatal diabetes and protracted diarrhea. The RFX6 gene encodes a transcription factor involved in enteroendocrine cell differentiation required for beta-cell maturation. In contrast to the pathway by which RFX6 mutations leads to diabetes, the mechanisms underlying protracted diarrhea are unknown. Objective: To assess whether gluc...
A Potential Role for Endogenous Glucagon in Preventing Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia
Lobato, CB; Pereira, SS; Guimarães, M; Hartmann, B; Wewer Albrechtsen, NJ; Hilsted, L; Holst, JJ; Nora, M; Monteiro, MPObesity and obesity-related diseases are major public health concerns that have been exponentially growing in the last decades. Bariatric surgery is an effective long-term treatment to achieve weight loss and obesity comorbidity remission. Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a late complication of bariatric surgery most commonly reported after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). PBH is the end result of postprand...
