Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has gained popularity as a primary bariatric procedure in the past decade. According to the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO), 43.6% of all bariatric procedures performed worldwide were SG between 2013 and 2017.

The BEATLES study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled study that will assess the impact of bariatric embolization on the systemic levels of obesity-related hormones and, as a consequence, on weight loss. The goal of this study is to help treat

Severe asthma, i.e. asthma that is not controlled despite maximal optimized therapy and/or that worsens when high dose treatment is decreased (GINA guidelines - available at https://ginasthma.or), is a major unmet medical need. Major advances in the management of severe asthma occurred in the past

Patients will be recruited during 10/15/2019 through 12/31/2023 with the following inclusion criteria: 1) body mass index (BMI) 35 - 39 kg/m2 with comorbid conditions; 2) BMI 40+ kg/m2 with no comorbidities; 3) having a previous LGS; 4) having lost less than 10% total weight loss with this LSG; 5)

A total of 20 patients will be enrolled for this feasibility study. Included in this study will be female adults at least 18 years of age with 1. A BMI of 35-39.99 and 1 or more severe obesity‐related co‐morbidities (including T2D, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA),

BACKGROUND: Rapid sequence intubation is the reference anaesthetic procedure for patient at risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents (for example emergency procedure, bowel obstruction, obese patients, gastroesophageal reflux …) or difficult airway management. Nowadays the use of

In this study PLMA, Air-Q® and Ambu AuraGain were compared undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. Primary outcome measure was insertion time. Airway sealing pressure,ease of insertion, number of attempts,overall success rate, glottis view,number of attempts of gastric tube

This study will be a unblinded, pragmatic, pilot, randomised, controlled trial of the Counterweight Plus programme versus usual care in individuals with difficult asthma associated with obesity. Eligible individuals will be identified through Difficult Asthma Clinics or ward admissions. Those

The UK OAGB/MGB collaborative group of 12 consultant bariatric surgeons was founded in 2017 and the data of 925 OAGB/MGB procedures were retrospectively collected and analysed in this cohort study. The treatment pathway is the SAME at each NHS centre. The indications for referral, consultations, and
