Abstract

Although bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe obesity, a significant minority of participants fail to achieve or maintain optimal weight loss at extended follow-up. Accumulating evidence suggests that adherence to prescribed postoperative recommendations, including attendance at follow-up appointments and dietary and physical activity, is related to improved weight loss outcomes. However, adherence to these guidelines presents a significant challenge for many patients, potentially due in part to deficits in cognitive function. In this paper, we briefly examine current literature of adherence on postoperative weight loss outcomes, and review emerging evidence that the cognitive dysfunction present in a subset of obese individuals is related to weight loss outcomes following bariatric procedures. We then extend these findings, positing a role for cognitive function in moderating the relationship between adherence and postoperative outcomes.

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
