Background and aims: Patients with AVPR2 gene mutations present nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) resulting to a severe deficit in urine concentration despite high levels of circulating Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). The mutation in codon 106 of the AVPR2 gene leading to the substitution of arginine by cysteine (R106C) is known to produce a mild disease while in vitro characterization revealed a complete loss of function. We report the case of a 24-year-old male member ...

Many studies but not all showed an increase in employment after bariatric surgery by 17–29%. We analyzed the relation of this increase of employment rate with weight loss, satisfaction and deprivation score. In an observational study, we evaluated the rate of employment (mean±S.E.) 2.3 years ±0.1 after bariatric surgery. We mailed to 791 patients a simple self-questionnaire to assess the employment status deprivation, satisfaction scale and Barros...

We know that non-severe hypoglycaemia (SH) should be treated with the immediate intake of 15–20 g of oral glucose, there are no data according to our knowledge in the current literature for the dose of glucose that is necessary to inject in SH. We have analysed retrospectively the treatment of pre hospital SHs as reported after an emergency call for intervention. Our primary objective was to know the dose of the given glucose and our secondary objective was to know the fa...

We analyzed the eating behavior and physical activity in patients operated in our obesity surgery center and their relation to weight loss. We mailed to patients a simple self-questionnaire to assess the use of eating or physical activity advices given from our stuff during the preoperative period. Patients had a bariatric surgery from September 1, 2013 to August 2016 Questionnaires were collected during their follow-up (September 2017). One hundred forty four out of 750 patie...

Since its first description in 2000, Longitudinal Gastrectomy (LG) has become the first surgical procedure in the treatment of morbid obesity in the world, exceeding in numbers Gastric Bypass (GB). GB is considered to have better results regarding long-term weight loss and improvement in co-morbidities. We aimed to demonstrate that LG is non inferior to GB for a composite end point that included more than 50% excess weight loss from the baseline and surgery related complicatio...
