Coping e aspectos psicossociais associados ao tratamento cirúrgico da obesidade mórbida em longo prazo / Coping and psychosocial aspects associated to surgical treatment of morbid obesity in the long-term

Maria Adelaide Gallo Ferreira de Camargo 22 April 2013 (has links)
A obesidade mórbida é uma doença crônica, de causas multifatoriais e de tratamento difícil, que apresenta alto risco para a saúde. A cirurgia bariátrica tem se mostrado a opção mais eficaz de tratamento para a redução das comorbidades, mas pode ser seguida de problemas físicos que causam dificuldades nos relacionamentos interpessoais, dificultando a adaptação psicossocial do indivíduo ao meio ambiente social. Em longo prazo o sucesso depende da mudança de comportamento, principalmente em relação aos hábitos alimentares, da complementação necessária de vitamina e sal mineral e da prática regular de exercícios físicos de forma contínua. Ao longo do tempo, fatores psicológicos exercem influência sobre a capacidade de o paciente adaptar-se às condições de vida para a necessária manutenção da redução do peso corpóreo. O período de tempo decorrido após a cirurgia, entre 4 e 12 anos, foi investigado em uma amostra composta por 75 pessoas; todos os pacientes foram operados com a utilização da mesma técnica cirúrgica e pelo mesmo cirurgião, também coordenador da equipe multidisciplinar. A idade mínima foi de 26 e máxima de 76 anos. Foram utilizados três instrumentos de avaliação psicológica com a seguinte finalidade: medir o Nível de Coping e Habilidade Social; pesquisar a opinião dos sujeitos de forma categorizada pelo método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, mediante a aplicação de instrumento desenvolvido especificamente para a presente investigação; e avaliar a insatisfação com a imagem corporal pela aplicação da Escala de Silhuetas de Stunkard (SMT). Os resultados, tratados estatisticamente, revelaram pessoas com médio e alto nível de coping e habilidade social, que demonstram condições adequadas de enfrentamento e de formação de vínculos sociais; contudo encontram-se acima do peso esperado, cujo Índice de Massa Corporal indica situação de obesidade grau 1, de acordo com a OMS. Estão insatisfeitos com a silhueta atual, conscientes de que se encontram acima do peso desejado, mas valorizam altamente a opção que fizeram pela realização da cirurgia bariátrica, que lhes proporcionou autonomia, elevação da autoestima e os livrou da discriminação social. A discussão se fez com o aporte teórico de conceitos extraídos da psicologia cognitiva, da psicologia positiva, da psicanálise, da sociologia e da antropologia. Concluiu-se que a gastroplastia produz efeitos colaterais fisiológicos perenes, como engasgos, vômitos e mal-estar, que dificultam, mas não impedem, a adaptação psicossocial; que os entrevistados têm consciência de que o peso e a imagem não correspondem ao padrão esperado por eles, contudo apresentam adequado sentido de adaptação social; e para eles a cirurgia bariátrica ocupa um lugar que envolve representações mentais de rito de passagem, como transposição metafórica para um novo status da condição social / Morbid obesity is a chronic condition, of multi-factor causes, difficult to treat and which carries a high risk of health problems. Bariatric surgery has been shown to be the most effective treatment for reducing comorbidities, but it may be followed by physical problems that cause difficulties in interpersonal relationships, hindering the individual\'s psychosocial adaptation to the social environment. Long-term success depends on changing behavior especially in relation to food habits, use of vitamin supplements and mineral salt, as appropriate, and regular practice of physical activity. Over time, psychological factors may influence the ability of patients to adapt to their living conditions and maintain the weight loss. A period of time after surgery between 4 and 12 years was investigated in a sample of 75 people. All patients underwent the procedure using the same surgical technique, performed by the same surgeon and coordinator of the multidisciplinary team. The patients were aged between 26 years and 76 years. Three psychometric measures were used to investigate the level of coping and the participants\' opinion through an interview conducted in a categorized manner: the method of Discourse of the Collective Subject, including a questionnaire developed specifically for this research, and the assessment of body image dissatisfaction according to the Stunkard Silhouette Matching Task (SMT). The results, analyzed in statistical terms, revealed individuals with medium and high levels of coping and social skills, who demonstrate appropriate coping conditions and ability to establish social bonds. Nevertheless, they are still above the expected weight and present body mass indexes that indicate a status of grade 1 obesity, according to the WHO. These individuals are dissatisfied with their current silhouettes, aware that they are above the desired weight, but strongly value the choice they made for bariatric surgery that gave them autonomy and increased selfesteem, protecting them against social prejudice. The discussion was based on theoretical concepts drawn from cognitive psychology, positive psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology and anthropology. Conclusions: gastroplasty produces continuing physiological side effects that make psychological and social adaptation difficult, although it does not prevent them from occurring; the respondents are aware that their weight and body image do not match the pattern of their expectations, nevertheless they do present an adequate sense of social adaptation and, for them, bariatric surgery occupies a place that involves mental representations of rite of passage, as a metaphorical transposition to a new social status

Mastopexia com inclusão de implantes mamários após tratamento cirúrgico da obesidade mórbida: avaliação da satisfação das pacientes e resultados cirúrgicos / Mastopexy with breast implant inclusion after morbid obesity surgical treatment: patient satisfaction evaluation and surgical results

Wilson Cintra Junior 24 February 2010 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: Pacientes portadoras de obesidade mórbida submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico através de cirurgias disabsortivas-restritivas, após considerável perda ponderal, evoluem com dobras cutâneas ou dermogordurosas em várias regiões do corpo. As mamas são caracterizadas pela deficiência de volume, ptose acentuada, assimetria e medialização dos complexos aréolo-papilares. A mastopexia com inclusão de implantes mamários tem demonstrado ser solução cirúrgica eficaz para melhora da forma, volume e simetria das mamas. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a satisfação das pacientes e os resultados cirúrgicos obtidos após a mastopexia com inclusão de implantes mamários. MÉTODOS: Vinte pacientes do sexo feminino, com média etária de 39,9 anos, foram submetidas à mastopexia com inclusão de implantes mamários entre setembro de 2008 e abril de 2009. Foram aplicadas entrevistas psicológicas semidirigidas a todas as pacientes, nos períodos pré e pós-operatórios, cujas respostas foram tabuladas, divididas em categorias, e possibilitaram a avaliação da satisfação das pacientes. Foi realizada avaliação dos resultados cirúrgicos através da análise fotográfica por três cirurgiões plásticos independentes, nos períodos pré e pós-operatórios, onde foram atribuídas notas zero, um ou dois, para os seguintes itens: forma da mama, volume da mama, simetria entre as mamas, posicionamento do complexo aréolo-papilar e qualidade e extensão das cicatrizes. RESULTADOS: Dezenove pacientes (95%) referiram satisfação com o resultado cirúrgico obtido (p<0,001). Quatro pacientes (20%) relataram melhora da vida profissional; doze pacientes (60%), melhora da vida social; dez pacientes (50%), da vida afetiva; e dez pacientes (50%), da vida sexual. A média das somatórias das notas atribuídas pelos três cirurgiões, referentes a cada paciente, variou entre 4,7 e 10, sendo a média geral de 7,28. Os resultados foram considerados bom ou ótimo para 65% da amostra e pobre para 8,4%. CONCLUSÕES: Houve satisfação de 95% das pacientes com os resultados obtidos pela mastopexia com inclusão de implantes. A análise fotográfica dos resultados obteve nota média de 7,28, caracterizado como bom resultado, apesar da fraca concordância entre os avaliadores. / INTRODUCTION: Morbid obesity patients submitted to surgical treatment through disabsortive-restrictive procedures, and after considerable weight loss, develop skin or fatty tissue folds in many regions of the body. These changes in the breasts, in particular, are characterized by volume deficiency, marked ptosis, asymmetry and medialization of the nipple-areola complexes (NAC). Mastopexy associated with breast implant inclusion has shown to be an efficient solution to improve shape, volume and breast symmetry. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate patient satisfaction and surgical results obtained after mastopexy with breast implant inclusion. METHODS: Twenty female patients with a mean age of 39.9 years were submitted to mastopexy with breast implant inclusion between September 2008 and April 2009. All patients had semi-directed psychological evaluation in the pre- and postoperative periods. The answers to the evaluations were tabulated, categorized, and allowed patient satisfaction analysis. The surgical results evaluation was made through photographic analysis of three independent plastic surgeons, in the pre- and post-operative periods, when scores of zero, one or two, were attributed to the following items: breast shape, breast volume, symmetry of breasts, NAC position, scar quality and extent. RESULTS: Nineteen patients (95%) referred satisfaction with the surgical results attained (p<0,001). Four patients (20%) referred improvement in their professional lives; twelve patients (60%), improvement in their social lives; ten patients (50%), of their affective lives; and ten (50%) of their sexual lives. The mean sum of the scores attributed by the three surgeons, respective to each patient, varied between 4.7 and 10, with an overall mean of 7.28. The results were considered good or great for 65% of the sample and poor for 8.4%. CONCLUSIONS: There was a 95% satisfaction rate among patients with the results obtained through Mastopexy with breast implant inclusion. The photographic analysis of the results obtained a mean score of 7.28, considered as a good result, albeit the weak correlation among evaluators.

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding for morbid obesity:primary, intermediate, and long-term results including quality of life studies

Tolonen, P. (Pekka) 09 September 2008 (has links)
Abstract Morbid obesity is the most rapidly increasing health threat of developed countries, and the costs caused by it are already higher than those of smoking. In an increasing number of developing countries both starvation and morbid obesity are increasing simultaneously. Obesity in children and adolescents is also increasing rapidly. Conservative treatment almost invariably fails when treating morbid obesity. Results of pharmacotherapy have been disappointing after great expectations. Laparoscopic gastric banding has been used in the treatment of morbid obesity since 1993. The method was first used mostly in Europe. In the USA either an open or laparoscopic gastric bypass have been the most common methods of surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the operation results of 280 patients operated in Vaasa Central Hospital during the 11 years after March 1996. Of these patients, 123 have been followed at least 5 years. The results have been analyzed with BAROS that measures the quality of life. Quality of life was measured prospectively 1 year after surgery with the 15D questionnaire that is validated in the Finnish population. The effect of gastric banding in esophageal motility and reflux was studied prospectively in 31 patients. Late results were analyzed in 123 patients 11 years after the first operation. Mean excess weight loss (EWL) was 56% in patients who had their band in place 7 years after surgery, and 46% in all patients. There was no mortality related to the operation, and there was only one serious complication. Disease-specific quality of life improved in 78.8% of the patients in 28 months of follow-up. Health-related quality of life was significantly improved 12 months after surgery, but improvement was not connected to the amount of weight loss. The band inhibited reflux 19 months after surgery. Complications, failures, and reoperations increase with longer follow-up. Weight loss is moderate 9 years after a gastric banding operation, and in carefully selected patients this operation is still a good option in the treatment of morbid obesity.

Effectiveness of bariatric surgery in morbidly obese adults for cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review / Efectividad de la cirugía bariátrica en adultos obesos mórbidos para desenlaces cardiovasculares: revisión sistemática

Silva Licera, Humberto Rafael, Almeyda Yglesias, María Antoinette 04 May 2021 (has links)
Objectives: to determine the effectiveness of bariatric surgery to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as coronary heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and total mortality in morbidly obese patients, compared with a non-surgical treatment and no intervention control group. Methods: a systematic review was carried out with cohort-type studies that evaluated, with a minimum follow-up of one year, morbidly obese adults who had undergone bariatric surgery compared to a control group of non-surgical treatment and without intervention in relation to the cardiovascular events such as coronary heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and total mortality in morbidly obese patients. Results: 14 studies were selected that met our inclusion criteria. 44,912 patients who underwent bariatric surgery and 208,347 non-surgical controls were included. The high heterogeneity of the included studies did not allow the meta-analysis to be carried out. However, most of the individual results show decreased risk of the outcomes studied. A subgroup analysis was performed, where Bariatric Roux-en-Y surgery reduces the risk of coronary artery disease by approximately 60%. In morbidly obese diabetic patients, our calculations showed a risk reduction of 80% for cardiovascular mortality and 70% for total mortality. Finally, our calculations show a 58% decrease in cardiovascular mortality in studies with a follow-up of 2 or more years. Conclusions: Our study suggests that bariatric surgery is beneficial for morbidly obese adult patients at risk of presenting cardiovascular events. / Objetivos: determinar la efectividad de la cirugía bariátrica para disminuir el riesgo de eventos cardiovasculares como enfermedad coronaria, accidente cerebrovascular, mortalidad cardiovascular y mortalidad total en pacientes obesos mórbidos, comparado con un grupo control de tratamiento no quirúrgico y sin intervención. Métodos: se realizó una revisión sistemática con estudios de tipo cohortes que evalúen, con seguimiento mínimo de un año, a adultos obesos mórbidos que se hayan sometido a cirugía bariátrica en comparación a un grupo control de tratamiento no quirúrgico y sin intervención en relación con los eventos cardiovasculares como enfermedad coronaria, accidente cerebrovascular, mortalidad cardiovascular y mortalidad total en pacientes obesos mórbidos. Resultados: se seleccionaron 14 estudios que cumplieron nuestros criterios de inclusión. Se incluyeron 44 912 pacientes que se sometieron a cirugía bariátrica y 208 347 controles no quirúrgicos. La alta heterogeneidad de los estudios incluidos no permitió realizar el metaanálisis. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los resultados individuales muestran disminución del riesgo de los desenlaces estudiados. Se realizó un análisis por subgrupos, en donde la cirugía bariátrica en Y de Roux disminuye el riesgo de enfermedad coronaria en aproximadamente 60%. En pacientes obesos mórbidos diabéticos nuestros cálculos mostraron reducción del riesgo en 80% de mortalidad cardiovascular y 70% de mortalidad total. Por último, nuestros cálculos demuestran disminución del 58% de la mortalidad cardiovascular en los estudios con un seguimiento de 2 a más años. Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio sugiere que la cirugía bariátrica es beneficiosa para los pacientes adultos obesos mórbidos en riesgo de presentar eventos cardiovasculares / Tesis

The impact of early traumatic experiences on bariatric patients: a qualitative exploration of their "voices"

Liebenberg, Hermanus Bernardus 07 1900 (has links)
This study aimed at exploring the impact of early traumatic experiences on bariatric patients with the intent to give "voice" to their experiences. The impact of morbid obesity and the lack of quality of life among those suffering from this form of chronic illness can be devastating. Meaningful support systems and bariatric surgery are therefore considered as forced behavioural interventions to remediate the impact of childhood trauma and subsequent development of morbid obesity among this group of bariatric patients. Through a process of social constructivism and dialogue between the researcher and the five participants, the co-construction according to themes was supported by a qualitative research approach and the case study method. For the analysis of the themes according to the participants' "voices", the thematic content analysis method was used to analyse the data and was finally linked to supportive literature. It is hoped that the results from this study will contribute to the development of a unique assessment and support programme to those who have to endure the burden of morbid obesity associated with early childhood trauma; and that the process prior to and post bariatric surgery will be an important contribution to finding quality of life and giving new meaning to patients after suffering through their bodies and traumatised minds. / Psychology / D.Litt. et.

Perfil de secreção de hormônio de crescimento e ghrelina antes e após cirurgia bariátrica / Secretory profile of growth hormone and ghrelin before and after bariatric surgery

Mancini, Márcio Corrêa 16 August 2005 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: A secreção do hormônio de crescimento (GH) está diminuída em obesos. Existem controvérsias se esta diminuição é conseqüência ou um dos fatores causais da obesidade. Perda de peso leva a alguma recuperação da secreção de GH. Não há estudos publicados sobre o efeito da derivação gástrica (gastrojejunal) com anastomose em Y-de-Roux (BPG) sobre o perfil de secreção de 24 h de GH. Por outro lado, a ghrelina é um peptídeo secretagogo de GH produzido no estômago, orexigênico, lipogênico e adipogênico, cujos níveis oscilam ao longo do dia e estão diminuídos na obesidade. As variações circadianas de ghrelina têm papel no controle da homeostase energética e secreção de GH. O nível de ghrelina eleva-se com perda de peso induzida por dieta, mas os dados são controversos sobre mudanças desses níveis após cirurgias bariátricas. Este estudo tem por objetivo caracterizar os perfis de secreção de GH e ghrelina em mulheres com obesidade grau III antes e após BPG e suas correlações com variáveis metabólicas. MÉTODOS: Coletas de sangue a cada 20 minutos por 24 horas foram realizadas em obesas mórbidas não diabéticas na pré-menopausa antes e seis meses após BPG. O procedimento foi realizado em balanço calórico neutro por quatro dias. Foram dosados glicose e insulina; GH em todas as amostras e ghrelina às 08:00h, 10:00h, 12:00h, 19:00h e 02:00h. A taxa metabólica de repouso (TMR) foi avaliada por calorimetria indireta e as massas adiposa (MA) e magra (MM) foram medidas por DEXA. RESULTADOS: Houve uma redução de 27% do peso corporal e IMC (de 55,9 ± 6,2 kg/m2 para 40,7 ± 5,8 kg/m2, p<0,001) com elevação de vários parâmetros de secreção de GH (GH basal, GH médio, p<0,05; área, amplitude e número de picos, p<0,001); redução de glicemia (p = 0,03), insulinemia de jejum (p = 0,005) e HOMA (p = 0,004). Não houve diferença nos níveis de ghrelina basal, pós-prandial e médio. O GH médio apresentou correlação negativa com as mudanças no peso (p = 0,003; r = -0,631), IMC (p <0,001; r = -0,731), MA (p = 0,003; r = -0,635), MM (p = 0,02; r = -0,507), circunferência abdominal (p = 0,01; r = -0,555), TMR (p = 0,01; p = -0,539), insulina de jejum (p = 0,014, r = -0,538) e HOMA (p = 0,01; r = -0,560), mas não com a glicemia de jejum (p = 0,13; r = -0,354) e a ghrelina (p = 0,6; r = 0,118). O melhor determinante da secreção de GH foi o IMC sendo responsável por 54% da variação do GH médio (r2 = 0,54). CONCLUSÕES: Há uma recuperação parcial da secreção de GH, reduzida no pré-operatório em obesas mórbidas, após perda de peso induzida seis meses após a cirurgia, indicando que a secreção reduzida não é um fator primário ou causal da obesidade, mas sim uma conseqüência da obesidade e essa recuperação é independente do perfil de secreção de ghrelina / INTRODUCTION: Growth hormone (GH) concentration is decreased in obesity. It is not clear if reduced GH secretion is consequence or cause of the obese state. GH secretion is partially restored by weight loss. There are no published studies about the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) on GH secretory profile. Ghrelin is a GH releasing peptide produced by stomach, with orexigenic, lipogenic and adipogenic actions. Ghrelin levels oscillate throughout the day and are low in obesity. Circadian changes in ghrelin levels have a role both in energy homeostasis control and GH secretion. Ghrelin levels rise after diet-induced weight loss, but results are controverse in relation to changes in ghrelin levels after bariatric surgeries. In this study, we analyzed GH and ghrelin concentrations in morbidly obese women before and after RYGBP and its relationships with metabolic parameters. METHODS: Blood was sampled at 20-minute intervals during 24 hours in non diabetic pre-menopausal morbid obese women before and six months after RYGBP. The study was done after four days in neutral caloric balance. Fasting glucose and insulin were determined in basal samples. GH concentrations were measured in all samples and ghrelin in serum collected at 08:00h, 10:00h, 12:00h, 19:00h e 02:00h. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was evaluated by indirect calorimetry and fat mass (FM) and free-fat mass (FFM) were measured by DEXA. RESULTS: A 27% drop in body weight and BMI (55.9 ± 6.2 kg/m2 to 40.7 ± 5.8 kg/m2, p<0.001), augmentation of spontaneous GH secretory episodes (basal and mean levels, p <0.05; area, amplitude and peak frequency, p <0.001); and reduction of fasting glucose (p = 0.03), insulinemia (p = 0.005) and HOMA (p = 0.004) were observed. Neither basal, post-prandial or mean ghrelin were changed. A negative correlation was found between mean GH levels and weight changes (p = 0.003, r = -0.631), BMI (p <0.001, r = -0.731), FM (p = 0.003, r = -0.635), FFM (p = 0.02, r = -0.507), waist (p = 0.01, r = -0.555), RMR (p = 0.01, p = -0.539), fasting insulin (p = 0.014, r = -0.538), as well as HOMA (p = 0.01, r = -0.560), but not between mean GH levels and glucose (p = 0.13, r = -0.354) or ghrelin (p = 0.6, r = 0.118). BMI accounted for 54% of the mean GH variation (r2 = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS: There is a partial recovery of GH secretion after weight loss induced by RYGBP, suggesting that a blunted secretion is not a primary or causal factor of obesity, but a consequence of the obese state. This recovery is independent of ghrelin secretory profile

No. of bitstreams: 1 luisdomingosfornitano_tese.pdf: 1565670 bytes, checksum: acedd7e7a18ad6dcdbdc6b72c97ae59d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-09-26 / Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, especially in its morbid form. Bariatric surgery is an effective therapeutic option for sustained weight loss. However, there is no consensus in these cases regarding the performance of functional tests for preoperative evaluations. Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze clinical, electrocardiographic and hemodynamic response variables using a conventional exercise test on individuals with morbid obesity in comparison to overweight individuals. Materials and Method: Six hundred seventeen cases were included. Group I had 290 patients with morbid obesity and Group II had 327 overweight patients. All were submitted to a conventional treadmill exercise test. Classic positivity criteria were used. Results: Both groups tolerated the test well. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of positivity of the test [ST segment abnormality or angor (p=0.3863) or ST segment abnormality alone (p=0.1000)]. The significantly higher values in the obese individuals were basal heart rate (HR), basal sistolic arterial pressure (SAP), maximum SAP, basal diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), maximum DAP, chronotropic incompetence (p<0.0001) and maximum double product (p<0.0421). The significantly lower values in the obese individuals were exercise time, maximum HR and METs values (p<0.0001). Conclusions: Hemodynamic parameters were significantly different between the two groups. However, there were no differences in terms of ST segment abnormalities or effort-induced angina. The very low functional capacity and complex arrhythmia found in some obese individuals draws attention to the need for complementary investigation with the aim of diminishing the risk of postoperative heart complications. / A obesidade é fator de risco independente para doença cardiovascular, particularmente em sua forma mórbida. A cirurgia bariátrica é opção terapêutica eficaz para o emagrecimento sustentado nesses casos não havendo, entretanto, consenso sobre a realização de testes funcionais para avaliação pré-operatória. Objetivo: Analisar as respostas clínicas, eletrocardiográficas e hemodinâmicas por teste ergométrico convencional, em portadores de obesidade mórbida em comparação a indivíduos com sobrepeso. Casuística e Método: Foram incluídos 617 casos sendo o Grupo I, com 290 pacientes obesos mórbidos e o Grupo II, com 327 pacientes com sobrepeso, todos submetidos a teste ergométrico convencional em esteira. Foram utilizados os critérios clássicos de positividade. Resultados: A prova foi bem tolerada por ambos os grupos. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante em termos de positividade do Teste (por alteração do segmento ST ou angor) [P = 0,3863] ou somente por alteração do segmento ST [P= 0,1000]. As variáveis significantemente maiores nos obesos foram: Freqüência cardíaca (FC) basal, Pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) basal; PAS máxima; Pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) basal; PAD máxima; Déficit cronotrópico (P <0,0001) e o Duplo Produto (DP) máximo (P =0,0421). Os valores significantemente menores nos obesos foram: tempo de exercício, FC máxima e valores em METS (P<0,0001). Conclusões: Os parâmetros hemodinâmicos mostraram-se significantemente diferentes entre os dois grupos não havendo, porém, diferenças em termos de anormalidades do segmento ST ou angina induzida por esforço. A capacidade funcional muito baixa e as arritmias complexas observadas em alguns dos obesos alertam para a necessidade de investigação complementar no sentido de diminuir o risco de complicações cardíacas pós-operatórias.

O GH médio apresentou correlação negativa com as mudanças no peso (p = 0,003; r = -0,631), IMC (p <0,001; r = -0,731), MA (p = 0,003; r = -0,635), MM (p = 0,02; r = -0,507), circunferência abdominal (p = 0,01; r = -0,555), TMR (p = 0,01; p = -0,539), insulina de jejum (p = 0,014, r = -0,538) e HOMA (p = 0,01; r = -0,560), mas não com a glicemia de jejum (p = 0,13; r = -0,354) e a ghrelina (p = 0,6; r = 0,118). O melhor determinante da secreção de GH foi o IMC sendo responsável por 54% da variação do GH médio (r2 = 0,54). CONCLUSÕES: Há uma recuperação parcial da secreção de GH, reduzida no pré-operatório em obesas mórbidas, após perda de peso induzida seis meses após a cirurgia, indicando que a secreção reduzida não é um fator primário ou causal da obesidade, mas sim uma conseqüência da obesidade e essa recuperação é independente do perfil de secreção de ghrelina / INTRODUCTION: Growth hormone (GH) concentration is decreased in obesity. It is not clear if reduced GH secretion is consequence or cause of the obese state. GH secretion is partially restored by weight loss. There are no published studies about the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) on GH secretory profile. Ghrelin is a GH releasing peptide produced by stomach, with orexigenic, lipogenic and adipogenic actions. Ghrelin levels oscillate throughout the day and are low in obesity. Circadian changes in ghrelin levels have a role both in energy homeostasis control and GH secretion. Ghrelin levels rise after diet-induced weight loss, but results are controverse in relation to changes in ghrelin levels after bariatric surgeries. In this study, we analyzed GH and ghrelin concentrations in morbidly obese women before and after RYGBP and its relationships with metabolic parameters. METHODS: Blood was sampled at 20-minute intervals during 24 hours in non diabetic pre-menopausal morbid obese women before and six months after RYGBP. The study was done after four days in neutral caloric balance. Fasting glucose and insulin were determined in basal samples. GH concentrations were measured in all samples and ghrelin in serum collected at 08:00h, 10:00h, 12:00h, 19:00h e 02:00h. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was evaluated by indirect calorimetry and fat mass (FM) and free-fat mass (FFM) were measured by DEXA. RESULTS: A 27% drop in body weight and BMI (55.9 ± 6.2 kg/m2 to 40.7 ± 5.8 kg/m2, p<0.001), augmentation of spontaneous GH secretory episodes (basal and mean levels, p <0.05; area, amplitude and peak frequency, p <0.001); and reduction of fasting glucose (p = 0.03), insulinemia (p = 0.005) and HOMA (p = 0.004) were observed. Neither basal, post-prandial or mean ghrelin were changed. A negative correlation was found between mean GH levels and weight changes (p = 0.003, r = -0.631), BMI (p <0.001, r = -0.731), FM (p = 0.003, r = -0.635), FFM (p = 0.02, r = -0.507), waist (p = 0.01, r = -0.555), RMR (p = 0.01, p = -0.539), fasting insulin (p = 0.014, r = -0.538), as well as HOMA (p = 0.01, r = -0.560), but not between mean GH levels and glucose (p = 0.13, r = -0.354) or ghrelin (p = 0.6, r = 0.118). BMI accounted for 54% of the mean GH variation (r2 = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS: There is a partial recovery of GH secretion after weight loss induced by RYGBP, suggesting that a blunted secretion is not a primary or causal factor of obesity, but a consequence of the obese state. This recovery is independent of ghrelin secretory profile

Asma, idade pulmonar e tipo de internação em pacientes com obesidade submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica por vídeolaparoscopia / ASTHMA, LUNG AGE AND TYPE OF HOSPITAL OBESE PATIENTS UNDERGOING BARIATRIC SURGERY BY LAPAROSCOPY.

Melo, Saulo Maia D avila 11 July 2011 (has links)
As obesity is a systemic and epidemic disease that affects pulmonary function, it became a new challenge for health professionals who care for respiratory diseases. With the aim of evaluating the aspects of pre-and postoperative obese adults patients undergoing bariatric surgery was determined the prevalence and severity of asthma, the lung age and place of stay in postoperative primary bariatric surgery, being checked medical-surgical complications that would justify admission to the intensive care unit and mortality. Cross-sectional studies were performed in the period from January 2007 to June 2010, in the city of Aracaju (SE). The prevalence of asthma in patients was determined by a pulmonologist using clinical diagnosis as a diagnostic tool, and evaluated 363 obese adults who underwent clinical evaluation and use of spirometry, and classified according to the severity of asthma. The lung age determined by spirometry involved 112 individuals: 78 morbidly obese patients (study group) and 34 non-obese and normal lung function (control group). The lung age and chronological age of individuals in each group were compared separately and between groups. Aldrete and Kroulik score was used for the release of post-anesthetic recovery room (PARR) and defining the location of postoperative routing in 120 patients who underwent primary bariatric surgery. The prevalence of asthma in obese adults, according to the criteria used were: studied obese population: 18.5% (95%:14,5-22,4), women: 20.4% (95% CI: 16,2 to 24.5), male: 13.7% (95%:10,1-17,2), asthma symptoms in the last twelve months 8.0% (95% CI:5,2-10,7) and initial manifestation of symptoms of asthma in childhood / adolescence in 17.4% (95%:13,5-21,3). Among asthmatics, 29 patients (43.3%) had intermittent asthma, 7 patients (10.4%) mild persistent asthma, 25 patients (37.3%) moderate asthma and 6 patients (9%) severe persistent asthma. The difference between lung age and chronological age in the group with morbid obesity was significant (p <0.0001, 95% CI 6.6 to 11.9 years) with an average difference of 9.1 ± 11.8 years. The age difference between the lung study group and control group was significant (p <0.0002, 95% CI 7.5 to 16.9 years) with an average difference of 12.2 ± 2.4 years. The multiple linear regression analysis identified the variables BMI and chronological age (p <0.0001) as significant predictors factors of lung age. The time between hospital admission and beginning of surgery was 140.7 ± 81.8 minutes, the operative time 105.0 ± 28.6 minutes, the length of stay in PARR 125.0 ± 38.0 minutes and hospitalization time 47.7 ± 12.4 hours, with 100% of patients walking in 24 hours. The Aldrete Kroulik table of PARR achieved scores of 10 with 120 minutes in all patients, with 100% survival. The prevalence of asthma in obese adults in the preoperative evaluation of bariatric surgery using the primary medical diagnosis was high, with prevalence of initial manifestation of symptoms of asthma in childhood / adolescence and in females. The severity of asthma in obese adults was among the estimated averages for the general population. The lung age is increased in morbidly obese patients, suggesting early damage and accelerated lung aging. By using the Aldrete and Kroulik table in the PARR of gastric bypass by laparoscopy in primary bariatric surgery, no patient was admitted to the ICU and no major complication was observed. / A obesidade por ser uma doença sistêmica e epidêmica que compromete a função pulmonar, tornou-se um novo desafio para os profissionais de saúde que cuidam de doenças respiratórias. Com o objetivo de avaliar os aspectos do período pré e pós-operatório dos pacientes adultos obesos submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica foi determinada a prevalência e gravidade de asma brônquica, a idade pulmonar e o local de internação no pós-operatório de cirurgia bariátrica primária, sendo verificadas as complicações clínica-cirúrgicas que justificassem internação em unidade de terapia intensiva e mortalidade. Foram realizados estudos transversais, no período entre janeiro de 2007 a junho 2010, no município de Aracaju (SE). A prevalência de asma nos pacientes foi determinada por um pneumologista utilizando o diagnóstico clínico como instrumento diagnóstico, sendo avaliados 363 pacientes obesos adultos, que foram submetidos à avaliação clínica e realização de espirometria, e classificados conforme a gravidade da asma. A idade pulmonar determinada pela espirometria envolveu 112 indivíduos: 78 pacientes com obesidade mórbida (grupo de estudo) e 34 indivíduos não obesos e com função pulmonar normal (grupo controle). A idade pulmonar e a idade cronológica dos indivíduos em cada grupo foram comparadas isoladamente e entre os grupos. Utilizou-se o índice de Aldrete e Kroulik para liberação da sala de recuperação pós-anestésica (SRPA) e definição do local de encaminhamento no pós-operatório de 120 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica primária. A prevalência de asma em obesos adultos, conforme os critérios utilizados foram: população de obesos estudada: 18,5 % (IC95%:14,5-22,4), mulheres: 20,4% (IC95%:16,2 24,5), homens: 13,7% (IC95%:10,1 17,2), sintomas de asma nos últimos doze meses 8,0% (IC95%:5,2 10,7) e manifestação inicial dos sintomas de asma na infância/adolescência em 17,4% (IC95%:13,5 21,3). Dentre os asmáticos, 29 pacientes (43,3%) apresentaram asma intermitente, 7 pacientes (10,4%) asma persistente leve, 25 pacientes (37,3%) asma moderada e 6 pacientes (9%) asma persistente grave. A diferença entre idade pulmonar e idade cronológica no grupo com obesidade mórbida foi significativa (p < 0,0001; IC95%: 6,6-11,9 anos), com uma diferença média de 9,1 ± 11,8 anos. A diferença da idade pulmonar entre o grupo de estudo e grupo controle foi significativa (p < 0,0002; IC95%: 7,5-16,9 anos), com uma diferença média de 12,2 ± 2,4 anos. A análise de regressão linear múltipla identificou as variáveis IMC e idade cronológica (p < 0,0001) como fatores preditivos significativos da idade pulmonar. O tempo entre admissão hospitalar e início da cirurgia foi de 140,7 ± 81,8 minutos, o tempo cirúrgico 105,0 ± 28,6 minutos, o tempo de permanência na SRPA 125,0 ± 38,0 minutos e tempo de internação hospitalar 47,7 ± 12,4 horas, com 100% dos pacientes deambulando em 24 horas. O índice de Aldrete e Kroulik da SRPA alcançou pontuação de 10 com 120 minutos em todos os pacientes, com sobrevida de 100%. A prevalência de asma em adultos obesos em avaliação pré-operatória de cirurgia bariátrica utilizando o critério diagnóstico médico mostrou-se elevada, com predomínio da manifestação inicial dos sintomas de asma na infância/adolescência e no sexo feminino. A gravidade da asma em obesos adultos esteve entre os valores médios estimados para a população em geral. A idade pulmonar está aumentada em pacientes com obesidade mórbida, sugerindo dano precoce e envelhecimento pulmonar acelerado. Com o uso do índice Aldrete e Kroulik na SRPA de bypass gástrico por videolaparoscopia em cirurgia bariátrica primária, nenhum paciente foi internado em unidade de terapia intensiva e nenhuma complicação maior foi observada.
