Body composition, aerobic fitness, cardiac ECHOs and lung function tests in survivors of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in childhood on growth hormone treatment (GHTx)

Davis N , Stevens M , Cornish J , Stuart C , Tolfrey K , Elson R , Kendrick A , Crowne E

Aim: There is emerging evidence that survivors of BMT not only suffer long term endocrine sequelae, but also have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The UKCCSG guidelines suggest that BMT survivors should be monitored for cardiac and lung toxicities of previous treatments using cardiac ECHOs and pulmonary function tests (PFTs). We aimed to examine body composition, aerobic fitness, ECHOs and PFTs in adolescent and young adult survivors on GHTx....

The public distress domain of quality of life correlates directly and independently with BMI in pre-operative morbidly obese patients awaiting metabolic surgery

Aftab Syed Abdus Saboor , Reddy N , Piya MK , Fraser I , Menon V , Bridgwater S , halder L , Kendrick D , Kumar S , Barber TM

Background: There is uncertainty regarding the selection of obese patients for metabolic procedures, how to define a successful outcome and pre-operative predictors of success. Our aim was to explore the influence of obesity on preoperative quality of life in patients awaiting bariatric surgery.Methods: Pre-operative data were accrued for morbidly obese patients (n=70) at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) during the last ...

Preoperative characteristics of morbidly obese patients who achieved at least 50% excess weight loss post-metabolic Surgery

Aftab Syed Abdus Saboor , Reddy N , Piya MK , Fraser I , Menon V , Bridgwater S , Halder L , Kendrick D , Kumar S , Barber TM

Background: Pre-operative predictive measures of post-metabolic surgery success would facilitate a more refined evidence-based selection of patients. This study aimed at identifying those clinical and psycho-social predictors of success (defined as weight-loss) following metabolic surgery.Methods: Pre-operative data including IWQOL-Lite questionnaire (a validated self-reported 31-item measure of physical function, self-esteem, sexual life, public distres...

Accuracy of DOTATATE PET imaging in the preoperative planning of small bowel neuroendocrine tumor resection

Zhang, MD Chi , Gudmundsdottir, MD Hallbera , Takahashi, MD, PhD Hiroaki , Day, MS Courtney , Glasgow, MHA Amy , Wasif, MD, MPH Nabil , Starlinger, MD Patrick , Warner, MD Susanne , Grotz, MD Travis , Smoot, MD Rory , Truty, MD Mark , Cleary, MD Sean , Kendrick, MD Michael , Nagorney, MD David , Navin, MB, BCh Patrick , Halfdanarson, MD Thorvardur R. , Thiels, DO, MBA Cornelius

Background: Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (sbNETs) incidence is on the rise. Given that sbNETS are often multifocal with high risk of regional nodal metastasis, open resection with lymphadenectomy is the gold standard approach as it offers manual palpation of the entire small bowel. We evaluated the accuracy of preoperative DOTATATE PET/CT in estimating the number of lesions and the presence of nodal disease compared to postoperative pathology findings. We hypothesize that...
