Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/ [height (m)] 2) of 30 or greater, is a common medical comorbidity of pregnancy affecting one third of reproductive-aged women. Maternal obesity is also a well-recognized risk factor for dysfunctional labor and cesarean delivery
Currently, ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (UTAP) blocks (regional anesthetic blocks) are being employed for the care of urological surgery patients. Local and regional anesthesia is commonly used throughout surgical fields. However, ultrasound-guidance can be challenging, particularly
AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
Based on the results that radial approach (RA) reduced mortality and bleeding complications compared with femoral approach (FA), RA has become the standard of care for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). RA provides better comfortability for the patients and
In patients requiring frequent arterial blood gas sampling in the intensive care unit and in cases requiring continuous blood pressure monitoring, arterial cannulation is preferred. The use of USG has also become widespread in anesthesia practice. It is supported by studies that USG-guided
Lipedema is a chronic, progressive and hereditary adipose tissue disorder characterized by an abnormal increase of subcutaneous adipose tissue, especially in the lower extremities. It is often seen in female sex. The main determinants of lipedema are bilateral symmetric swelling of the hypodermis of
1. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK. APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM
Background and justification
Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of heart arrhythmia. Electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins in the left atrium with ablation is standard therapy in the invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation. One of
Methods:
Study Design: Prospective open-label randomized clinical trial of CINPT in obese patients. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 to Standard of Care (SOC) and CINPT.
Study Arms: (1) Standard of Care (2) CINPT Sample Size: Based on 30% incidence of wound complications in obese patients
Background Seroma is a common surgical complication created by the inflammatory process that follows mastectomy and reconstruction. It is, thus, common practice to insert surgical drains, which often often remain in place for long periods and delay recovery. In light of the many advantages of
The prevalence of obesity rapidly increased in the past decades in the French population with multiple health consequences (including hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea syndrome, cardiovascular events, cancers…) responsible for excess mortality. In the same period of time, the number of bariatric

1. Personal
Patients presenting to the Emergency Department 18 years old or greater, who do not belong to a vulnerable group, requiring arterial line placement will be included in this trial. The investigators will randomize each patient into LM vs US. Data collected will include number of attempts, success
Obese women are more likely to be delivered by cesarean than normal weight women and are at increased risk for operative morbidity including wound complications. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been shown to improve wound healing, decrease the rate of surgical site infection,
Despite its limitations, fetal heart rate (FHR) tracing analysis is the best monitor of fetal well being during labor. Typically, continuous electronic fetal monitoring is via transabdominal ultrasound (CTG: cardiotocograph). A transducer is strapped to the maternal abdomen and positioned in such a
