Weight loss surgery benefits those with headaches
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is a condition where the pressure builds up in the skull due to pressure gradient and blood flow restrictions due to weight gain. This manifests as a condition called Pseudotumor Cerebri, which improves with weight loss surgery, as reported previously.
There is recent publication further supports that patients with any weight gain should consider weight loss surgery if they have findings of increased intracranial hypertension, which may also manifest itself with vision-related issues.
Long-Term Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Liver Enzymes in the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) Study
Liver enzymes are quite frequently elevated in patients with any degree of obesity. This elevation is even further exacerbated by conditions such as diabetes, elevated cholesterol, and triglycerides. Scientific evidence shows that weight loss surgical procedures improve the lever enzymes in the long term even if transiently they may worsen. We had previously published this finding.
Modeling and Simulation for Identification of Possible Cause for Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Complication of Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Background: This study was performed to study possible causes of Portal Vein thrombosis, a potentially deadly complication of specific foregut surgical procedures. Methods: Mathematical models of blood flow to the foregut organs, stomach, duodenum, spleen, and liver were created in MATLAB. Pathologic conditions were created by removing or adding the electrical components in the circuit modeled in MATLAB. These modifications represented surgical variation and hemodynamic changes. Comparing the input and output waveforms and comparing them to the known wave from live subject samples were able to model conditions where the likelihood of portal vein thrombosis is most likely to occur. Results: Ligation of the gastroepiploic vessels produce significant flow disruption in our model, significantly more than dehydration, causing portal vein flow reduction and possible portal vein thrombosis. Conclusion: Summary and potential implications. Trial registration: No registration or IRB was required. The study did not involve any human or animal subjects.
