BACKGROUND
Obesity is an epidemic in the USA. Many disorders are associated with obesity including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the prevalence of GERD and esophageal motility disorders in the morbidly obese population is unclear.
METHODS
During evaluation for bariatric surgery,
To test whether myeloid cells Tsc1 deletion and therefore constitutive activation of the nutrient sensor mTORC1 protects from high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, glucose intolerance, and adipose tissue inflammation.
Mice with Tsc1 deletion in myeloid cells (MTsc1KO) and littermate controls
A 59-year-old man without a history of ischemic heart disease underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with epidural anesthesia. About 15 min after pneumoperitoneum had been achieved, the patient developed ST elevation and hypotension. Vagal stimulation resulting from

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the preferred treatment for refractory trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Despite its high rate of success, MVD carries risk of complications. In this study, we examine outcomes following MVD and identify risk
BACKGROUND
Most studies investigating esophageal motility among the morbidly obese have focused on the relationship between lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Very few studies in the literature have examined motility disorders among the morbidly
BACKGROUND
There is strong evidence that morbid obesity is often accompanied by gastroesophageal reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux is caused predominantly by transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs). Only few data are available about TLESRs in patients with stage III obesity (body
BACKGROUND
Morbid obesity is becoming more prevalent in the industrialized world. Few data exist regarding the resting lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) and esophageal motility in relationship to body mass index (BMI).
METHODS
During a 3-year period, 111 of 152 morbidly obese patients
An epidemiological and clinical study was carried out on 31 patients with spasm of normal coronary arteries. The series comprised 24 males and 7 females aged 30 to 68 years (mean age: 48 years) with isolated resting chest pain (61 p. 100) or with resting and effort chest pains (39 p. 100). Their
The aim of this study was to assess whether the psychobehavioral pattern alexithymia is related to coronary artery spasm. Alexithymia, deficient psychological awareness, was examined using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Alexithymia Scale in 100 patients with angina pectoris in whom
OBJECTIVE
Toreport a causal relationship between myocardial infarction (MI) and obesity in an adolescent in the absence of the well-known risk factors for MI.
METHODS
A morbidly obese 17-year-old male, a nonsmoker, nondiabetic and normotensive patient, who sustained acute inferior MI with no family
OBJECTIVE
Impaired basal nitric oxide release is associated with a number of cardiovascular disorders including hypertension, arterial spasm, and myocardial infarction. We determined whether basal endothelial nitric oxide release is reduced in otherwise healthy overweight and obese adult
METHODS
A 55-year-old woman had for 5 years been suffering from severe burning thoracic pain. She had typical risk factors for cardiovascular disease, namely hypertension, chronic smoking, obesity and hypercholesterolaemia. She had been hospitalized several times for suspected myocardial infarction,
To report a rare case of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) presenting with hemifacial spasm (HFS) and review the current literature.Case report and literature review. The patient's medical record was reviewed for demographic and clinical data. For The hyperventilation test has been used as a clinical tool to induce coronary spasm. However, its diagnostic and prognostic values have not been fully elucidated. This study was designed to establish the sensitivity and specificity of the hyperventilation test and to clarify the characteristics of
This paper is a personal account on the discovery and characterization of the 5-HT2C receptor (first known as the 5-HT1C receptor) over 30 years ago and how it translated into a number of unsuspected features for a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and a diversity of clinical applications. The
