Book excerpt: This book is written as a guide for patients suffering from lipedema. Known as a common, painful fat distribution disorder characterised by a disproportional fat accumulation, lipedema represents an unmet medical need where scientific evidence on both pathophysiology and its treatment is still lacking. As the number of affected patients is increasing, besides striving to map the conundrum of clinical signs and relate these to their underlying mechanisms, developing standardised approaches addressing both fat mass reduction and body contouring are key issues able to warrant therapeutic success. In this book, our intention was to look at this complex disease from all its actual perspectives and provide a concise summary of the actual state of knowledge for all those affected. After looking into the most actual data on the aetiology, pathophysiology and course of the disease, the book then focuses on our complex treatment protocols wherecurrent conservative and surgical treatment options are systematically analyzed, considering their long-term chances of success as well as associated risks and side effects. We propose a three step treatment approach. 1st step initiates with weight control and addresses obesity, if present. 2nd step is an individual liposuction therapy plan to treat all lipedema areas, and more. 3rd step includes body contouring surgery, only in patients with massive skin laxity after liposuction and / or massive weight loss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lipedema is a fat disorder that affects women and is often mistaken for simple obesity. Believed to be hormonal in nature, lipedema usually develops at puberty, but can develop or worsen later in life due to hormonal changes associated with pregnancy, menopause, or gynecological surgery. Estimates of the incidence of lipedema range as high as 11% of the post-pubertal female population, which is approximately 17 million women in the United States alone.Lipedema - The Disease They Call FAT: An Overview for Clinicians is a monograph that provides a clinical synopsis of this condition. This monograph covers the history of lipedema and includes sections on epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and how to differentiation between lipedema and other disorders, such as lymphedema and obesity. Treatment options, both conservative and surgical, and prognosis are also reviewed. Written with the clinician in mind, it is a practical overview of the condition and provides important information for healthcare providers who treat women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that approximately 1 out of every 9 adult females are diagnosed with lipedema worldwide? Lipedema is a chronic disease in which the fatty tissue under the skin starts accumulating abnormally. It is also called lipoedema or lipodema. Women are more often affected than men, and it appears almost always after puberty. Typically, the feet and legs are most severely affected at first, but over time the disease can progress to include the hips, buttocks and upper limbs. In later stages it may also affect other parts of the body such as the abdomen, breasts and hands. In women with lipedema, fat tissue accumulates at a rate that is much lower than normal after puberty, but not as low as in obesity. The affected areas become enlarged and the skin of the affected parts of the body distends, becoming smooth and dimpled. These changes resemble those of normal pregnancy. Lipedema must neither be confused with obesity nor with lymphedema. In obesity, fat accumulates in the whole body, and in lymphedema accumulation and swelling occur on one side of the body. While in the case of lipedema fat occurs in the limbs, sparing the hands and feet. It is also not edema but a related adipose tissue disorder also known as Adiposis Dolorosa. It is important to spread awareness, conduct research, and identify better diagnostic and treatment methods for lipedema so the affected women can obtain the care that they need and deserve. If you want to get more information about the disorder, how it is diagnosed, its treatments, and cures, eating habits and relation to this particular condition, continue reading.

Download or read book Adipose Tissue written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adipose tissue, a kind of connective tissue, plays different and significant roles in the human body. Its function includes protection against environmental factors, storage of lipids and triacylglycerol, and the process of thermogenesis. It is also involved in the secretion of highly active biomolecules such as steroid hormones, prostaglandins, as well as proteins called “adipokines.” On the other hand, disturbances in functions of adipose tissue may cause several pathologies such as obesity and insulin resistance. Obesity is a worldwide health problem, whereas diabetes mellitus due to insulin resistance is defined by the World Health Organization as “a progressive worldwide epidemic.” Especially dangerous is visceral accumulation of adipose tissue.This book describes a series of up-to-date topics about physiological and pathological processes in adipose tissue.
