Book excerpt: "Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2) in Canada has increased 400 %. Even more concerning, the prevalence of Class III (BMI ≥ 40kg/m2) obesity has increased over 1000 % during the same period. Obesity is associated with type-2-diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, and musculoskeletal pain. These co-morbidities collectively cost the Canadian economy $ 4.3 billion per year in healthcare costs and lost productivity at work. Moreover, obesity results in mobility impairments including reduced stride length and slower walking cadence. For individuals living with extreme obesity and a related co-morbidity, bariatric surgery is the preferred treatment option. Bariatric surgery yields dramatic weight loss, resolution of most co-morbidities, reductions in pain, and improvements in physical functioning. Although these alterations are thought to yield more physical activity, to date, no changes in steps per day or sedentary time have been objectively measured from pre- to one-year post-surgery. After surgery, patients fail to meet established physical activity guidelines and begin to show small amounts of weight regain as early as two-years post-surgery.The first two manuscripts presented in this dissertation focused on evaluating the free-living movement patterns of individuals' long-term post-bariatric surgery (steps, sedentary time, and cadence), and determining if these patterns affect weight regain. It was found that patients do not step enough (6375 ± 2690 steps/day), are excessively sedentary (9.7 ± 2.3 hrs/day), and walk at significantly slower speeds on weekends compared to weekdays. As the built environment plays a role in physical activity and sedentary time on a population scale, it became important to assess if these constructs had the same effect on the bariatric population. Therefore, the third and fourth investigations evaluated the effect of neighbourhood walkability and employment status on physical activity, sedentary time, and weight regain respectively. These investigations proved that the built environment does not affect activity habits or obesity severity in the bariatric population. As substantial weight loss from surgery and aspects of the built environment have failed to promote physical activity and limit sedentary time, it is apparent that self-monitoring in this population is important. Therefore, the final investigation of this dissertation examined the validity of inexpensive, commercially available physical activity monitors against a research-grade accelerometer. This study showed that FitbitTM activity monitors are effective measurement tools for monitoring daily steps and time spent in light intensity activities. This confirmation allows bariatric surgeons to prescribe these activity monitors with confidence and can help patients self-monitor, meet established physical activity guidelines, and avoid weight regain post-surgery.This thesis was the first to objectively monitor physical activity and sedentary time long-term post-bariatric surgery. These studies filled important gaps in the literature related to the effects of the built and occupational environments on physical activity, sedentary habits, and weight regain post-surgery. Future studies should evaluate the effectiveness of interventions pre- and post-surgery designed to reduce and break up extended periods of sedentary time, while simultaneously promoting walking through light intensity activities. Interventions should employ the use of inexpensive commercially available activity monitors to improve self-monitoring, which can help individuals to meet established national activity guidelines." --

Download or read book Presurgical Psychological Screening written by Andrew Block and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2013 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of many surgical procedures depends not only on the skill of the surgeon and the use of state-of-the-art technology, but also on the actions and characteristics of the patient. Patients' emotional and psychosocial concerns, health-related behaviours, outcome expectations, and compliance with treatment regimen can all strongly influence the ultimate effectiveness of surgery. Thus, mental health professionals are increasingly called upon to perform presurgical psychological screening (PPS) to ensure that patients are given the treatments most likely to be effective, while reducing the chances of worsening their conditions. This book presents PPS procedures for a wide range of surgery types, such as spinal surgery, organ transplantation, bariatric surgery, and plastic surgery. Drawing on both research and clinical experience, the authors explain how to conduct PPS, communicate results to patients and surgeons, and identify possible pre- or post-surgery interventions to mitigate risk factors and maximise the likelihood of surgical success. Case studies and a discussion of bioethics are included

Download or read book Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging written by Susumu Mori and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-08-02 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts behind diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are commonly difficult to grasp, even for magnetic resonance physicists. To make matters worse, a many more complex higher-order methods have been proposed over the last few years to overcome the now well-known deficiencies of DTI. In Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging: And Higher Order Models, these concepts are explained through extensive use of illustrations rather than equations to help readers gain a more intuitive understanding of the inner workings of these techniques. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of DTI images and tractography results, the design of experiments, and the types of application studies that can be undertaken. Diffusion MRI is a very active field of research, and theories and techniques are constantly evolving. To make sense of this constantly shifting landscape, there is a need for a textbook that explains the concepts behind how these techniques work in a way that is easy and intuitive to understand—Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging fills this gap. Extensive use of illustrations to explain the concepts of diffusion tensor imaging and related methods Easy to understand, even without a background in physics Includes sections on image interpretation, experimental design, and applications Up-to-date information on more recent higher-order models, which are increasingly being used for clinical applications
