Background and Aims POSE2.0 procedure involves a novel pattern of full-thickness gastric body plications to shorten and narrow the stomach using durable suture anchor pairs. Our prospective, multicenter trial examined the safety, efficacy, durability, and physiologic effects of POSE2.0 in adults with obesity. Methods Adults with obesity underwent...

Introduction ESG is an effective treatment for classes I and II obesity. However, the benefit of ESG in patients with morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²) who decline surgery is not known. The study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of ESG in all three obesity classes at 1 year. Methods We reviewed 484 patient records and identified 435 pati...

Purpose Coffee is rich in compounds such as polyphenols, caffeine, diterpenes, melanoidins and trigonelline, which can stimulate brain activity. Therefore, the possible association of coffee consumption with cognition is of considerable research interest. In this paper, we assess the association of coffee consumption and total dietary caffeine inta...

IntroductionAlthough primary endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (P-ESG) is effective, some patients may require revision procedures to augment weight loss. We hypothesized that a non-surgical approach using redo ESG (R-ESG) might be a viable option in such patients. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of R-ESG following P-ESG to treat obesity.Me...

A 61-year-old man was referred to the bariatric endoscopy unit for the management of morbid obesity (BMI 47 kg/m2). He had multiple obesity-related medical comorbidities. His weight gain started 8 years after suffering smoke inhalation syndrome following an industrial accident. He sustained permanent lung parenchymal injury resulting in impaired pu...

Background The POSE-2 procedure shortens and narrows the stomach using multiple full-thickness plications in the gastric body. We studied the efficacy and safety of POSE-2 for obesity at 1 year in a real-world setting. Methods We reviewed the records of 75 patients who underwent POSE-2 at our unit. The primary outcome was percentage total body weig...

Background Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an effective treatment option for obesity. However, data comparing its efficacy to bariatric surgery are scarce. We aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of ESG with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic greater curve plication (LGCP) at 2 years. Methods We reviewed 353 pat...

Introduction: Endoscopic gastroplasty and gastric volume reduction techniques have been shown to achieve significant weight loss and improvement in comorbid conditions. The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of a novel fully automated, operator-independent endoscopic suturing system (EndoZip™) for minimally invasive tr...

Technological advances have permitted minimally invasive treatment of many gastrointestinal diseases. With the advent of endoscopic full-thickness suturing, it has become possible to replicate some of the surgical procedures. Endoluminal bariatric procedures to remodel and reduce the gastric volume similar to surgery is evolving as a treatment opti...

Background and study aims It is uncertain if the difference in weight loss outcomes between different endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs) is technique-related or multidisciplinary team (MDT) follow-up-related. We hypothesized that at 1 year, the weight loss is determined more by adherence to MDT follow-up than by procedure type. We aimed to compa...

Background: Inflammation is known to be related to the leading causes of death including cardiovascular disease, several types of cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression-suicide and other chronic diseases. In the context of whole dietary patterns, the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) was developed to appraise the inflammatory potential of th...

Background Bariatric endoscopic techniques are minimally invasive and induce gastric volume reduction to treat obesity. Aim: To evaluate endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (Apollo method) using a suturing method directed at the greater curvature, as well as the perioperative care, two year safety and weight loss. Method Prospective single-center study...

Background Epidemiological evidence suggests a cardioprotective role of α‐linolenic acid (ALA), a plant‐derived ω‐3 fatty acid. It is unclear whether ALA is beneficial in a background of high marine ω‐3 fatty acids (long‐chain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) intake. In persons at high cardiovascular risk from Spain, a country in which fish consump...

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of eating disorders in Spanish students between 12 and 20 years old using standardized methods. Material and methods: 1342 students were randomly selected from educational centers on Gran Canaria, Spain. We used a two phase cross sectional design which involved the screening (EAT-40 questionnaire at a cutoff...

Background and study aims: Emerging endoscopic techniques are minimally invasive and can mimic the anatomic alterations achieved by surgical sleeve gastrectomy. The objective of this study was to evaluate endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. Patients and methods: This was a prospective, single-center study of 20 patients who underwent flexible endosc...

The current obesity epidemic is known to have coincided with profound societal changes involving both physical activity levels and food consumption patterns as well as demographic and cultural changes affecting the conduct of human beings in various ways. On the other hand, obesity is a complex and multifactorial chronic disease that usually become...

The consumption of specific functional foods (FF) and some determinants of FF item selection were assessed using a questionnaire administered to 1112 individuals in the Canary Islands (Spain). Food items considered were Milk products: easily digestible milk (or milk low in lactose), milk enriched with vitamins and/or minerals, skimmed milk with sol...

Objectives: Analyzing the practice of self-medication in a tourist town in the South of Gran Canaria. Methods: Prevalence study of self-medication in a community pharmacy in San Bartolome de Tirajana. The total during the months from February to December 2008 was 300 surveys of the persons who went to the pharmacy. Features sociodemographic informa...

This paper compares the efficacy of two widely used weight-loss diets differing in macronutrient composition - a low-carbohydrate diet versus a low-fat diet. Although "a calorie is a calorie" under the controlled conditions of a metabolic unit (i.e., only the level of calorie intake matters and not the source of calories), we conclude that these in...

The diagnosis of childhood obesity has become increasingly frequent in western societies, yet in many cases has been difficult to quantify due to the lack of representative data from different countries and the varying criteria used in its definition. In Spain, various national or regional studies have been conducted that analyse the prevalence of...
