The benefit of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in high Body Mass Index patients.
Japanese journal of clinical oncology, 2012Co-Authors: Gou Kaneko, Akira Miyajima, Eiji Kikuchi, Ken Nakagawa, Mototsugu OyaAbstract:The aims of the present study were to evaluate the effect of Body Mass Index on the surgical outcomes of open partial nephrectomy and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and to analyze whether higher Body Mass Index patients may derive greater benefit from laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. We reviewed 110 patients who underwent open partial nephrectomy and 47 patients who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy at our institution. We analyzed the data to determine what kind of factor would be associated with prolonged operative time, increased estimated blood loss and prolonged ischemic time, and compared the result of open partial nephrectomy with that of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. A statistically significant correlation was observed between Body Mass Index and operative time or estimated blood loss in open partial nephrectomy. Multivariate analysis also demonstrated that Body Mass Index was an independent predictor for prolonged operative time and higher estimated blood loss in open partial nephrectomy, but not in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. In the normal Body Mass Index group (Body Mass Index<25.0 kg/m2), although mean operative time in the laparoscopic partial nephrectomy group was significantly longer than that in the open partial nephrectomy group, the difference was relatively small. In the high Body Mass Index group (Body Mass Index≥25.0 kg/m2), the mean operative time of the two groups was not statistically different. The estimated blood loss of open partial nephrectomy was significantly higher than that of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in both groups. In both operative procedures, tumor size was an independent predictor for prolonged ischemic time in multivariate analysis. Body Mass Index was an independent predictor for prolonged operative time and higher estimated blood loss in open partial nephrectomy but not in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was less influenced by Body Mass Index and had a greater benefit, especially in high Body Mass Index patients.

Association of Body Mass Index with Timing of Death during Tuberculosis Treatment
PloS one, 2017Co-Authors: Hsin-hao Lai, Yun-ju Lai, Yung-feng YenAbstract:Background The association between Body Mass Index and mortality in patients with tuberculosis has not been extensively studied, and the existing evidence is inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Body Mass Index on timing of death in patients with tuberculosis. Methods All Taiwanese adults with tuberculosis in Taipei, Taiwan, were included in a retrospective cohort study in 2011–2012. Multinomial logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between Body Mass Index and timing of death in patients with tuberculosis. Results Among 1557 eligible patients, 84.1% (1310), 8.2% (128), and 7.6% (119) underwent successful treatment, early death, and late death, respectively. The mean age of the patients with tuberculosis was 64.2 years old, and 67.7% were male. After controlling for potential confounding variables, underweight with Body Mass Index less than 18.5 kg/ m2 was significantly associated with elevated risk of all-cause mortality [Adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.64; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.17–2.30]. Considering timing of death, underweight with Body Mass Index less than 18.5 was significantly associated only with elevated risk of early mortality within the first 8 weeks of treatment onset (AOR, 2.22; 95% CI, 1.45–3.40) Conclusions For patients with tuberculosis infection, underweight with Body Mass Index less than 18.5 kg/ m2 is an independent predictor for early mortality within the first 8 weeks of treatment.

The Effect of Body Mass Index on the Outcomes of Varicocelectomy
The Journal of urology, 2011Co-Authors: Khanh N Pham, Jay SandlowAbstract:Purpose: Obesity is recognized as a potential contributor to male factor infertility. There are no studies to date to our knowledge that have examined the success of varicocelectomy in obese men. We determined if Body Mass Index significantly affects the outcome of varicocelectomy.Materials and Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for all patients who underwent varicocelectomy from September 2003 to December 2009. Patients were placed into 3 groups based on Body Mass Index, and categorized as normal weight (group 1—38 patients, Body Mass Index 18.5 to 24.9), overweight (group 2—59 patients, Body Mass Index 25 to 29.9) or obese (group 3—46 patients, Body Mass Index 30 or greater). Significant improvement was defined as a greater than 50% increase in the total motile per ejaculate parameter on postoperative semen analysis.Results: A total of 143 patients were available for analysis. There were no significant differences among patients in the 3 groups except for Body Mass Index. Significant impr...

The effect of Body Mass Index on the outcomes of varicocelectomy
Fertility and Sterility, 2010Co-Authors: Khanh N Pham, Jay SandlowAbstract:Purpose: Obesity is recognized as a potential contributor to male factor infertility. There are no studies to date to our knowledge that have examined the success of varicocelectomy in obese men. We determined if Body Mass Index significantly affects the outcome of varicocelectomy. Materials and Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for all patients who underwent varicocelectomy from September 2003 to December 2009. Patients were placed into 3 groups based on Body Mass Index, and categorized as normal weight (group 1—38 patients, Body Mass Index 18.5 to 24.9), overweight (group 2—59 patients, Body Mass Index 25 to 29.9) or obese (group 3—46 patients, Body Mass Index 30 or greater). Significant improvement was defined as a greater than 50% increase in the total motile per ejaculate parameter on postoperative semen analysis. Results: A total of 143 patients were available for analysis. There were no significant differences among patients in the 3 groups except for Body Mass Index. Significant improvement in total motile/ejaculate on semen analyses was 71.1% (group 1), 61.0% (group 2) and 58.7% (group 3). Pregnancy rates were 43.8% (group 1), 43.5% (group 2) and 46.3% (group 3). There were no significant differences in improvement in total motile per ejaculate (p 0.21, p 0.17) or pregnancy rate (p 0.60, p 0.51) between the normal Body Mass Index group, and the overweight and obese groups. Conclusions: Varicocelectomy for men with clinically palpable varicoceles has a significant chance of improving semen parameters and pregnancy rates regardless of preoperative Body Mass Index. The outcomes of varicocelectomy in overweight and obese patients were similar to those of normal weight men. Therefore, varicocelectomy can be performed effectively and safely in overweight and obese men.

Associations of serum minerals with Body Mass Index in adult women
European journal of clinical nutrition, 2006Co-Authors: Chan Hee Song, Whan Seok Choi, Kyung Soo KimAbstract:Objective: This cross-sectional study evaluated the association between serum minerals and Body Mass Index in adult women. Methods: One hundred and eighteen adult women were recruited by written advertisement from outpatient clinics or a health promotion center at a university hospital. Serum calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc were measured by an automatic analytical instrument and Body Mass Index was calculated from height and weight. Results: Serum magnesium was inversely associated with Body Mass Index (β = -0.283, P= 0.001) whereas serum copper had a positive association with Body Mass Index (β=0.197, P= 0.025) after adjusting for age, physical activity, energy intake, dietary fat, alcohol consumption, supplements and menopause status. No associations were found with serum calcium and zinc. Conclusion: Serum magnesium and copper may be involved in the regulation of Body size in adult women.
