BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gastric restriction techniques have recently emerged as minimally invasive bariatric procedures. Endoscopic sutured gastroplasty (ESG) with the Endomina (Endo Tools Therapeutics, Gosselies, Belgium) triangulation platform proved to be safe and effective for the treatment of class I and II obesity in prospective studies. In this registry, we aimed to further assess on a larger scale the safety and efficacy of the procedure in routine practice with a dedicated device. METHODS: This was a multicenter, observational, prospective post-market study including patients with obesity undergoing Endomina ESG. The primary safety outcome was the occurrence of serious adverse device effects (SADEs) at 12 months. The primary efficacy outcome was the technical success defined by completing the procedure without premature abortion owing to technical issues. The rates of procedure-related adverse events, weight loss outcomes, and quality of life changes were collected. RESULTS: A total of 142 patients underwent ESG in 3 centers from July 2020 to March 2023. Of these, 67 (mean body mass index, 38.5 ± 6.3 kg/m2) reached at least 12 months of follow-up up to October 2022. Technical success was 100%. No SADEs occurred. Seven mild procedure-related adverse events were reported overall. Mean percentage of excess weight loss and total body weight loss at 12 months' follow-up were 48.5% ± 38.6 and 15.3% ± 10.6, respectively (n = 67). Improved quality of life was observed following ESG. CONCLUSIONS: ESG is safe and effective, thus offering a satisfactory therapeutic option for a wide range of obese patients on a large scale.

PURPOSE: Obesity and its related severe comorbidities are increasing rapidly. The duodenal-jejunal bypass is an endoscopically implanted device (mimicking the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) developed to support weight reduction and improve type 2 diabetes control. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective data analysis of consecutive patients undergoing duodenal-jejunal bypass (EndoBarrier®, DJB) implantation between 2013 and 2017 was performed to evaluate safety as well as short- and long-term efficacy. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-one patients (mean BMI of 43.1 ± 7.2 kg/m2 and weight of 138.2 ± 28.6 kg) underwent DJB implantation. The mean dwelling time was 15.5 months, the mean total body weight loss (%TBWL) after explantation was 10.3% ± 7.9% (14.2 kg, p < 0.0001), and the mean BMI was 39.5 ± 7.3 kg/m2 (p < 0.0001). There was no significant weight gain 24 months after the explantation. Seventy-seven patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with a mean HbA1c before implantation of 5.6% (n = 52). The mean HbA1c after explantation was 5.1% (p = 0.0001). Significant reductions in transaminase and lipid levels before and after explantation were observed. One complication occurred during implantation and another during explantation. In 16 patients, the device had to be extracted earlier than expected (7 for severe adverse events and 9 for adverse events; 13.2%). CONCLUSION: Despite an evident rate of adverse events, the DJB shows promise as a weight-loss procedure. Our results show that some patients implanted with the device maintained reduced weight even 24 months after explantation, while many improved T2DM control.

OBJECTIVES: Submental fullness has been associated with being perceived as unattractive. Technology combining radiofrequency and muscle stimulation offers submental contouring through fat reduction, muscle stimulation, and skin tightening. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of fat reduction aspect with a novel submentum applicator delivering HIFES and synchronized radiofrequency+ (RF+) energies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six white pigs (sus scrofa domesticus, n = 6, 60-80 kg) were recruited for this study, five in the active group (n = 5) received four treatments on the abdominal area, one sow served as a control (n = 1). Ultrasound, histological, and RT-qPCR methods were used as evaluation methods. RESULTS: Fat thickness decreased at 1 month by -17.35% and at 2 month by 31.40%. Proapoptotic caspase-9 gene expression increased (at 1 h, 6 h, 24 h to +43.45%, +21.22%, -8.36%), as well as caspase-3 (+15.28%, +21.77%, -6.71%), while bcl2l1 activity decreased (-11.46% at 1 h, -17.02% at 6 h, -3.9% at 24 h). While the AI in the control animal had minimal change (at 1 h -0.08%, at 6 h -0.09%, and at 24 h -0.025%), the active group's AI increased from the baseline of 9.14 to 44.85 at 1 h (+391%), peaked at 6 h to 53.50 (+485%), and at 24 h to 38.17 (+318%). CONCLUSION: The study results indicate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous fat reduction following the novel technology combining HIFES and RF+ energies, designed to target small localized areas.
Obezita je celosvětovým problémem s rostoucí prevalencí, což má vážné důsledky nejen pro zdraví jednotlivců, ale i pro společnost. Zvýšený výskyt nadváhy a obezity vede k vyšším nákladům na zdravotní péči a omezuje pracovní příležitosti jednotlivců, což má vliv na jejich kvalitu života. Léčba obezity zahrnuje různé přístupy, vč. diety, cvičení, farmakoterapie a chirurgických bariatrických zákroků. Mezi nové a slibné metody léčby patří endoskopická sleeve gastroplastika (ESG). ESG nabízí bezpečnou, minimálně invazivní metodu, která vede k redukci objemu žaludku a má dlouhodobé výsledky stran redukce hmotnosti. Díky značnému pokroku na poli endoskopie a endoskopické sutury lze očekávat nová zařízení, pomocí nichž ESG bude ještě bezpečnější, méně expert dependentní a její výsledky se budou významně přibližovat výsledkům bariatrické chirurgie.
Obesity is a global problem with a rising prevalence, which has serious implications not only for individuals‘ health but also for society as a whole. The increased incidence of overweight and obesity leads to higher healthcare costs and limits the employment opportunities of individuals, affecting their quality of life. The treatment of obesity encompasses various approaches, including diet, exercise, pharmacotherapy, and surgical bariatric procedures. New and promising methods of treatment include endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). ESG offers a safe, minimally invasive method that reduces the volume of the stomach and has long-term results in terms of weight reduction. Thanks to significant advances in the field of endoscopy and endoscopic suturing, we can expect new and improved devices to be used in ESG. This will make ESG even safer, less dependent on the expertise of physicians, and its outcomes will significantly approach those of traditional bariatric surgery.
Bariatrická a metabolická chirurgie je nejinvazivnější, ale také nejúčinnější léčbou těžké obezity a asociovaných komorbidit. Nejčastěji se provádí laparoskopická sleeve gastrektomie a Roux-Y gastrický bypass. Pooperační komplikace se vyskytují v 4–10 % případů. Většina z nich je lehkých a jsou léčeny konzervativně. Komplexní řešení vážných komplikací často zahrnuje chirurgickou reintervenci, která je zatížena vysokou morbiditou. Technologický pokrok v terapeutické endoskopii rozšiřuje možnosti minimálně invazivní léčby těchto komplikací a ve vybraných případech může být i metodou první volby v jejich managementu. Autoři prezentují souhrn aktuálních endoskopických postupů při řešení ulcerací, leaku, fistul, stenóz a dalších komplikací. Na vlastním souboru 45 pacientů léčených v průběhu 10 let (11/2013–11/2023) v okresní nemocnici Jablonec nad Nisou je uveden přehled použitých endoskopických metod, počty procedur, délka a výsledky vlastní endoskopické léčby. Autorský komentář popisuje trendy vedoucí k dalšímu zlepšení výsledků endoskopické léčby.
Bariatric and metabolic surgery is the most invasive but also the most effective treatment for severe obesity and associated comorbidities. The most common procedures performed are laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-Y gastric bypass. Postoperative complications occur in 4–10% cases. The majority of them are mild and are treated conservatively. Complex management of severe complications often involves surgical re-intervention, which is associated with high morbidity. Technological advancements in therapeutic endoscopy expand the options for minimally invasive treatment of these complications and, in selected cases, may even be the method of choice in their management. The authors present a summary of current endoscopic procedures for managing ulcerations, leaks, fistulas, strictures, and other complications. Based on a cohort of 45 patients treated over a period of 10 years (11/2013–11/2023) at the district hospital in Jablonec nad Nisou, an overview of the endoscopic methods used, procedure numbers, duration, and outcomes of endoscopic treatment is provided. The author’s commentary describes trends leading to further improvement in the outcomes of endoscopic treatment.
Obezita se stala celosvětovým problémem s rostoucí incidencí představující riziko pro zdraví, zejména pro kardiovaskulární onemocnění, diabetes, některé typy nádorových onemocnění, depresivní syndrom a další. Metody léčby obezity se stále rozšiřují, kromě dietních a pohybových opatření je možná farmakologická, endoskopická a chirurgická léčba. Jednou z často prováděných bariatrických chirurgických operací je Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, který kombinuje restriktivní a malabsorpční účinky. V rámci rozvoje nových metod se začal provádět banded gastric bypass s využitím Fobi ringu. Jeho výhodou je vyšší účinnost při snižování a udržování hmotnosti. Jednou z popsaných komplikací je migrace Fobi ringu, kterou lze dnes řešit endoskopicky.
Obesity has become a worldwide problem with a growing incidence, posing a risk to health, especially for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, depressive syndrome, and others. The methods of obesity treatment are still expanding, in addition to diet and exercise measures, pharmacological, endoscopic and surgical treatment is possible. One of the commonly performed bariatric surgical procedures is the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which combines restrictive and malabsorptive effects. As part of the development of new methods, the banded gastric bypass using the Fobi ring has been introduced. Its advantage is greater efficiency in reducing and maintaining weight. One of the described complications is the migration of the Fobi ring, which can be addressed endoscopically today.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate methods for the determination of vitamins B2, B9, E and A in serum using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (MS) detection. Vitamin analysis was performed using an ultra performance liquid chromatography combined with tandem MS. The compounds were separated on a BEH C18 RP column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) using a gradient elution with an analysis time of 10 min. Sample preparation included protein precipitation with ethanol. The concentration range in human serum was as follows: riboflavin 5-1000 nmol/L, folic acid 2.5-250 nmol/L, α-tocopherol 0.5-100 μmol/L and all-trans-retinol 25-2500 nmol/L. Accuracy and precision were validated according to Food and Drug Administration guidelines, with coefficients of variation ranging from 3.1-11.7% and recoveries from 94.4-107.5%. Routine monitoring of the complex range of vitamins in bariatric medicine is still not common. This is despite the fact that patients are at risk for glitch deficits, especially of a neurological nature. An analytical method that allows for the complex measurement of both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins is important and necessary for the clinical monitoring of bariatric patients. The method we have described could benefit both clinical practice and nutritional research.
