Abstract

Obesity is frequently attributed to causes such as laziness and lack of willpower and personal responsibility. The current study identified causal attributions for obesity among patients seeking bariatric surgery and compared them to those among patients seeking less invasive weight loss treatment (behavioral/pharmacological). The 16-item Causal Attributions for Obesity scale (CAO; rated 1–7) was administered to 102 patients seeking bariatric surgery (sample 1) and 178 patients seeking behavioral/pharmacological weight loss treatment (sample 2). Between-subjects analyses compared CAO ratings for the two samples. Results showed that behavioral factors were the highest-rated attributions in both samples. Sample 1 had higher ratings of biological and environmental factors than did sample 2. Overall, patients seeking bariatric surgery had a more complex conceptualization of obesity than did patients seeking behavioral/pharmacological treatment. Trial registration: NCT02388568

Analyses were also conducted excluding the “psychological problems” item from the Biology/Brain factor, and results did not change.

Kein Unterschied bei inadäquaten Schocks zwischen ICD-Typen

Inadäquate Schockabgaben sind ein unerwünschter Effekt der Therapie mit implantierbaren Kardioverter-Defibrillatoren. Subkutanen Geräten haftet dabei der Ruf an, dafür besonders anfällig zu sein. Die PRAETORIAN-Forschungsgruppe ist dem nachgegangen.

DCIS: Ist ein Verzicht auf eine Operation möglich?

Die COMET-Studie zeigt, dass aktives Monitoring bei Patientinnen mit duktalem Carcinoma in situ (DCIS) hinsichtlich der kumulativen Zwei-Jahres-Rate an ipsilateralen invasiven Karzinomen der leitliniengerechten Standardbehandlung nicht unterlegen ist. Dennoch wird von einem Verzicht auf eine Operation abgeraten, wie in einem begleitenden Editorial betont wird.

Soll man bei Cholezystektomie routinemäßig cholangiografieren?

Eine US-Studie scheint den Befürwortern einer routinemäßigen intraoperativen Cholangiografie im Rahmen einer Cholezystektomie Recht zu geben. Die Studienkommentatoren in JAMA Surgery sparen jedoch nicht mit Kritik.

Langzeitdaten zur GERD-Kontrolle mittels Magnetband

Ergebnisse einer Postzulassungsstudie und weitere Daten sprechen dafür, dass die magnetische Sphinkter-Augmentation (MSA) eine sichere und effektive Therapieoption bei Refluxkrankheit darstellt.
