3. 2. Bariatric Surgery : Outcomes after Gastric Bypass and Duodenal Switch

   Författare :Martin Löfling Skogar; Magnus Sundbom; Ville Wallenius; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Body composition; fat-free mass; resting metabolic rate; bariatric surgery; obesity; Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass; Duodenal Switch; air-displacement plethysmography; Bod Pod; indirect calorimetry assessment; BAROS; quality of life; weight loss; diabetes; hypertension; dyslipidmia; depression; pain; antidepressants; opioids; complications; healthcare consumption; adverse events; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A BMI >40 kg/m2 shortens life expectancy by about 10 years. The obesity related comorbidities diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and sleep apnea contributes to the increased risk of cardiovascular events. There is also an increased risk of some forms of cancer (e. LÄS MER

4. 3. Assessment and prognostic importance of nutritional status and body composition in liver transplantation

   Författare :Catarina Lindqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis are progressive diseases closely linked to metabolism and nutritional status. Weight loss is a result of negative energy balance and is therefore a good measure of risk of malnutrition. LÄS MER

5. 4. The effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation at energy balance in man

   Författare :Anders H. Forslund; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Body composition; carbohydrate; energy turnover; fat; protein; stable isotopes; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Nutrition; näringslära;

   Sammanfattning : The principal goal of the thesis has been to evaluate the effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation. Body composition assessment is of importance as an indicator of the energy balance. Therefore, in the first study the aim was to develop new models to estimate body composition more accurately.

7. 5. The new old normal : reassessing perioperative oxygen consumption and haemodynamics in the elderly

   Författare :Julia Jakobsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Perioperative haemodynamic instability and disturbances of global oxygen transport are associated with complications and organ injury after surgery. The continuously growing population of elderly in surgical care are at higher risk due to age-related cardiovascular alterations and increased prevalence of comorbidities. LÄS MER
