2) Exercise improves physical fitness and cardiovascular health as well as glucose control for those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing insulin sensitivity and glucose transporters.
3) An exercise prescription for diabetics includes 30-60 minutes per day of aerobic activity, moderate weight training 2 times per week, monitoring heart rate and blood glucose levels, and gradual progression of intensity over time.
This document discusses obesity and related topics. It defines obesity as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents health risks. It provides BMI classifications for different regions including South East Asia. Key points are that globally obesity rates are rising, and factors influencing obesity are complex, involving genes, environment, behavior, and their interactions. Measuring obesity includes BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage, and fat distribution. The regulation of energy balance and factors influencing obesity risk are multifaceted.
Menstrual problems are common in female athletes due to hormonal disturbances from intense exercise and dietary factors. Key issues include delayed menarche, luteal dysfunction, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea. Treatment focuses on diet, exercise and hormone therapy if needed to address infertility risks and bone density loss from prolonged lack of periods.
This document defines obesity and discusses its epidemiology, regulation, neurohumoral factors, and genetics. Some key points:
- Obesity is defined as excess adipose tissue and a BMI ≥30. It is more common in women and prevalence is increasing globally.
- The hypothalamus regulates appetite through centers that stimulate (lateral) or inhibit (ventromedial) eating. Leptin, adipokines, gut hormones, and pancreatic hormones also influence appetite.
- Genetic factors contribute to obesity risk, as seen in family and twin studies. Rare genetic syndromes like Prader-Willi can also cause obesity.
- Leptin normally inhibits appetite but leptin
The document discusses obesity, providing definitions and discussing causes, pathophysiology, medical complications, and treatment. It defines obesity as a disease of caloric imbalance resulting from excess calorie intake. Key points include: obesity is defined as a BMI over 30 kg/m2; causes include diet, lack of exercise, genetics, and medical conditions; pathophysiology involves hormones like leptin, ghrelin, and adiponectin that regulate appetite and metabolism; complications affect the cardiovascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal systems; and treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications like orlistat that reduce fat absorption, and sometimes surgery.
Importance of nutrition in hospitalized patientsAzam Jafri
Malnutrition is common in hospitalized patients and is associated with increased complications, prolonged hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. Proper nutrition is important for recovery, as malnutrition can weaken the body and impair the healing process. Oral nutritional supplements have been shown to improve patient outcomes by helping maintain muscle mass and support recovery from illness, surgery, or injury. Hospitals should screen patients for risk of malnutrition and consider supplemental nutrition to improve health outcomes.
Intermittent fasting is an Interventional strategy where in individuals are subjected to varying periods of fasting.
It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them.
Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.
It’s currently very popular in the health and fitness community.
Recently attracted attention because:
1- Its Evidence-Based Health Benefits
2- Its potential for correcting metabolic Abnormalities
3- Better adherence than other methods
Importance of nutritional management during hospitalizationBushra Tariq
The document discusses the importance of nutritional management for hospitalized patients. It notes that up to 50% of hospitalized patients experience some degree of malnutrition. Providing adequate nutrition support through enteral or parenteral nutrition can improve patient outcomes, reduce recovery time, and lower healthcare costs. The document provides guidelines for estimating caloric and protein needs for critically ill patients and recommends early enteral nutrition within 24-48 hours when possible to support gut health and integrity.
Recent Advances in Obesity PharmacotherapyShreya Gupta
This document summarizes recent advances in obesity, including potential new drug targets. It discusses drugs currently in development like tesofensine, setmelanotide, semaglutide, and velneperitide that act on targets such as serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake, melanocortin receptors, GLP-1 receptors, and neuropeptide Y receptors. The document also mentions exploring cannabinoid type 1 receptor blockers with limited brain penetration to avoid the psychiatric side effects that led to previous drugs being withdrawn.
Obesity is defined as having excess body fat rather than just excess weight. It can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. The causes of obesity include lack of energy balance between calories consumed and burned, genetic factors, medical conditions, medications, emotional and lifestyle factors like lack of physical activity and access to healthy foods. Obesity is classified as upper body or abdominal obesity and lower body or peripheral obesity based on where excess fat is stored. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes through diet, exercise and behavior therapy while surgery may be considered for severe obesity.
Optimizing Medical Nutrition Therapy in sarcopenia of Elderly patients Chomarhlaing
The document discusses optimizing medical nutrition therapy for sarcopenia in elderly patients. It defines sarcopenia as the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. The prevalence of sarcopenia increases with age, affecting 5-13% of 60-70 year olds and 11-50% of those over 80. Consequences of sarcopenia include physical impairment, falls, disability and mortality. Screening tools like SARC-F can help diagnose sarcopenia based on measures of muscle mass, strength and physical performance. Management involves exercise programs and medical nutrition therapy, with a focus on adequate protein intake, particularly high-quality proteins containing amino acids like leucine, arginine and glutamine.

This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of diet-induced weight loss, exercise-induced weight loss, exercise without weight loss, and a control group on obesity and related health factors in obese men over 3 months. It found that both diet-induced and exercise-induced weight loss groups lost approximately 7.5 kg (8%) of body weight, with greater total fat loss in the exercise group. Abdominal fat and insulin resistance decreased similarly in both weight loss groups. Exercise without weight loss reduced abdominal fat and prevented further weight gain, but did not change weight or insulin resistance.

This systematic review analyzed 7 studies that examined the effects of intermittent fasting on weight loss and body composition changes compared to continuous calorie restriction. The studies showed that intermittent fasting resulted in 3-12% weight loss over trial periods of 10-52 weeks. Two studies found that intermittent fasting led to less lean muscle mass loss during weight loss compared to continuous calorie restriction. However, most studies did not differentiate between fat and lean mass changes. More research is still needed to better understand the long term impacts of intermittent fasting on health and weight maintenance.
Effect of Eight Weeks Conditioning On Body Mass Index of College StudentsIOSR Journals
This study examined the effects of an eight-week conditioning program on the body mass index (BMI) of 50 male college students aged 17 to 23 years old. The students participated in conditioning exercises six days per week for one hour each session. BMI was measured before and after the eight weeks through pre- and post-tests. The results showed that the mean BMI decreased significantly from 25.66 to 24.30, indicating that participation in regular conditioning exercises can be effective for lowering BMI in college students.
The document discusses exercise and its benefits for obese patients. It defines different types of physical activity and exercise. It describes the physiological effects of exercise on skeletal muscle and cardiovascular systems. Regular exercise provides significant health benefits like reduced mortality, improved glycemic control, and reduced risks of various diseases. Exercise is an important component of weight loss and maintenance by increasing calorie burn and lean muscle mass. The guidelines recommend accumulating 30-60 minutes per day of moderate exercise most days of the week.
1) The study examined the effects of a 6-week aerobic exercise program on serum resistin levels in 24 sedentary obese women divided into an exercise or control group.
2) While the exercise group showed improvements in body weight and abdominal obesity after the program, their serum resistin levels did not change significantly compared to pre-training levels.
3) The findings suggest that more substantial weight loss, of at least 5% of body weight, may be needed to see improvements in adipocytokine levels like resistin in obese individuals.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for health. It notes that physical inactivity is a global pandemic that is linked to many chronic diseases like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression and osteoporosis. Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, boosts human growth hormone, relieves stress and depression through increased endorphins and neurotransmitters. Running intervals when walking can significantly increase calorie burning compared to slow walking alone. The document emphasizes that exercise, along with a low carb diet and intermittent fasting, can potentially cure insulin resistance and related conditions by improving mitochondrial function.

This document discusses recent advances in surgical treatment for obesity, focusing on laparoscopic gastric band surgery. It provides definitions of obesity, discusses the prevalence and health risks of obesity in Australia. It then summarizes the LAP-BAND system, how it works to promote weight loss through reduced hunger, outcomes data showing its effectiveness at sustained weight loss comparable to other surgeries, and costs/insurance coverage. Contact information is provided for those interested in a consultation to see if they are a candidate for the LAP-BAND procedure.
This document discusses strategies for weight loss through diet, exercise, or a combination. It summarizes research finding that combining diet and exercise results in more effective and long-term weight loss than either approach alone. Specifically, starting a diet and exercise program simultaneously prevents losing muscle mass during weight loss and is more likely to result in sustained lifestyle changes over time compared to sequential approaches. The recommended approach is a reduced-calorie diet along with at least 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity most days of the week.
Exercise provides health benefits but is not effective for weight loss alone. Strength training and high intensity interval training are recommended exercise modalities that can improve health outcomes. Strength training three times per week for 40 minutes plus 20 minutes of high intensity interval training is a good starting prescription. Exercise should be used as an adjunct to nutritional counseling, which should focus on a simple, supportive approach to improve dietary compliance.

Integrating Fundamental Concepts of Obesity and Eating Disorders: Implications for the Obesity Epidemic
Author: Macpherson-Sánchez, Ann E, EdD, MNS
ProQuest document link
Abstract: Physiological mechanisms promote weight gain after famine. Because eating disorders, obesity, and dieting limit food intake, they are famine-like experiences. The development of the concept of meeting an ideal weight was the beginning of increasing obesity. Weight stigma, the perception of being fat, lack of understanding of normal growth and development, and increased concern about obesity on the part of health providers, parents, and caregivers have reinforced each other to promote dieting. Because weight suppression and disinhibition provoke long-term weight increase, dieting is a major factor producing the obesity epidemic. The integrated eating disorder-obesity theory included in this article emphasizes that, contrary to dieters, lifetime weight maintainers depend on physiological processes to control weight and experience minimal weight change.

Since 1960, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has done periodic surveys of representative samples of the US population, which include measured heights and weights.1 From the 1960 to 1962 to the 1976 to 1980 measurement periods, there was little change in population weight. However, the next survey (1988-1994) showed increases in body mass index (BMI; defined as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters [kg/m2]) that were unanticipated and inexplicable.2 Most of the increase occurred in those with BMI of 30 or greater.3 In 2006, a prominent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researcher expressed frustration with her incapacity to explain why this happened.2
Losing weight and recuperating from that weight loss is part of the biological heritage of every human being.4-6 However, in the past 70 years, self-induced famine (dieting to achieve and maintain a lower weight)7 became the socie ...

General Endocrinology and mechanism of action of hormonesMedicoseAcademics
This presentation, given by Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology, delves into the foundational concepts of general endocrinology. It covers the various types of chemical messengers in the body, including neuroendocrine hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines, and traditional hormones. Dr. Faiza explains how these messengers are secreted and their modes of action, distinguishing between autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine effects.
The presentation provides detailed examples of glands and specialized cells involved in hormone secretion, such as the pituitary gland, pancreas, parathyroid gland, adrenal medulla, thyroid gland, adrenal cortex, ovaries, and testis. It outlines the special features of hormones, differentiating between peptides and proteins based on their amino acid composition.
Key principles of endocrinology are discussed, including hormone secretion in response to stimuli, the duration of hormone action, hormone concentrations in the blood, and secretion rates. Dr. Faiza highlights the importance of feedback control in hormone secretion, the occurrence of hormonal surges due to positive feedback, and the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus as the master clock regulating rhythmic patterns in biological clocks of neuroendocrine cells and endocrine glands.
The presentation also addresses the metabolic clearance of hormones from the blood, explaining the mechanisms involved, such as metabolic destruction by tissues, binding with tissues, and excretion by the liver and kidneys. The differences in half-life between hydrophilic and hydrophobic hormones are explored.
The mechanism of hormone action is thoroughly covered, detailing hormone receptors located on the cell membrane, in the cell cytoplasm, and in the cell nucleus. The processes of upregulation and downregulation of receptors are explained, along with various types of hormone receptors, including ligand-gated ion channels, G protein–linked hormone receptors, and enzyme-linked hormone receptors. The presentation elaborates on second messenger systems such as adenylyl cyclase, cell membrane phospholipid systems, and calcium-calmodulin linked systems.
Finally, the methods for measuring hormone concentrations in the blood, such as radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), are discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of the tools used in endocrinology research and clinical practice.
These are the class of Drugs that are used to treat and prevent cardiac arrhythmias by blocking ion channels involved in cardiac impulse generation and conduction. Class I drugs like quinidine and procainamide block sodium channels to prolong the action potential duration, while Class IB drugs like lignocaine shorten repolarization. Class III drugs like amiodarone block potassium channels to prolong the action potential. Calcium channel blockers like verapamil inhibit calcium influx. Other drugs include adenosine for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, beta blockers for supraventricular arrhythmias, and atropine for bradycardias. Adverse effects vary between drugs but include arrhythmias, heart block and QT prolong

MALE CIRCUMCISION consists of the surgical act of removing the foreskin (skin that covers the glans of the penis), leaving the glans more prominent and better cleanable.
MALE CIRCUMCISION itself has medical as well as sociocultural implications, as it has been proven to be an act that can minimize SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIs), especially HIV, but it also represents the SOCIOCULTURAL IDENTITY of some people, respectively.
Now, in a SERO-EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE like that of Mozambique where the prevalence of HIV is around 12.5% which corresponds to approximately 2 million people living with HIV, where the province of GAZA is the most seroprevalent with a positivity rate of 21% (INSIDA, 2021), it is extremely necessary to THOROUGHLY scrutinize all possibilities for preventing or minimizing the spread of HIV and other STIs.

Heart Valves and Heart Sounds -Congenital & valvular heart disease.pdfMedicoseAcademics
This presentation, authored by Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology at CIMS Multan, delivers an in-depth analysis of heart valves, heart sounds, valvular heart diseases, and congenital heart defects. It begins by distinguishing between normal and abnormal heart sounds, elucidating the timing and causes of the four heart sounds—S1, S2, S3, and S4—and their clinical significance. Detailed explanations are provided on the auscultation sounds that define conditions such as mitral stenosis, mitral insufficiency, aortic stenosis, and aortic insufficiency, with a focus on how these pathological changes affect cardiac mechanics and blood pressure.
The presentation delves into abnormal heart sounds, known as murmurs, categorizing them by their causes, which include valvular lesions, rheumatic fever, aging, congenital heart diseases, viral infections during pregnancy, and hereditary factors. It explores the various types of murmurs, their timing within the cardiac cycle, and their association with specific valvular heart diseases such as stenosis and regurgitation. The intricate relationship between systolic and diastolic murmurs and conditions like anemia and ventricular septal defects is also highlighted.
Further, the presentation covers the pathophysiology of congenital heart diseases, offering a comprehensive review of conditions such as Tetralogy of Fallot and Patent Ductus Arteriosus. It explains the mechanisms of these diseases, their impact on cardiac function, and the clinical manifestations observed in affected individuals. The physiological adjustments of the circulatory system during exercise in patients with valvular lesions are discussed, emphasizing the reduced cardiac reserve and the risk of acute pulmonary edema.
Special attention is given to the compensatory mechanisms of the heart in response to valvular diseases, including the development of concentric and eccentric hypertrophy, increased venous return, and the eventual progression to heart failure. The presentation also examines rheumatic valvular lesions, aging-related aortic stenosis, and the specific challenges posed by these conditions, such as reduced stroke volume and increased metabolic demand.
This thorough exploration of heart sounds, valvular diseases, and congenital defects is designed to enhance understanding and clinical acumen, making it a valuable resource for medical students, healthcare professionals, and educators in the field of cardiology and physiology.
STRATEGIES FOR RATIONALISING/REDUCING CAESAREAN SECTION RATE BY USE OF "SION ...Niranjan Chavan
The journey to reduce/rationalise the C-section rate started in June 2023 and it’s an ongoing study been carried out at #SionHospital #LTMMC Mumbai.
It’s going to revolutionise the journey of motherhood for safer, predictable maternal and fetal outcome.
The SION model is a structured and networked approach to promoting vaginal deliveries.
By integrating education, support, policy implementation, and continuous improvement, it aims to enhance maternity care and reduce unnecessary C-sections through collaborative efforts among healthcare providers and patients.
Encouraging trials of labor after previous C-sections (TOLAC) and fostering a multidisciplinary team approach in maternity care are crucial.
Regular training for healthcare providers and establishing supportive hospital policies further promote vaginal births.
Interventional radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques, such as X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasound, to guide minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. These procedures can be an alternative to open surgery, often resulting in shorter recovery times for patients.

13. Han et al British Medical Bulletin 2011;97:169-196
Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes in Obese Men
14. RESPIRATORY DYSFUNCTION
Dyspnea: increased
metabolic rate & elevated
metabolic demand from
minimal exertion
Obesity hypoventilation
syndrome and obstructive
sleep apnea: excessive
deposition of adipose tissue
on neck, thorax & abdomen
T.S. Han et al. Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 27 (2013) 509–525
15. ARTHRITIS
Excessive weight —>
osteoarthritis of weight-
bearing joints
Severe arthritis limits ability
to perform exercise —> risk
of weight gain from
reduced energy
expenditure
T.S. Han et al. Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 27 (2013) 509–525
16. CANCERS
Obese elderly men at
increased risk: colon,
gallbladder, pancreas, kidney
& bladder
Elevated insulin & IGF-1
in obese may promote
tumor growth
Increased leptin (promote
cell proliferation) &
reduced adiponectin
(diminish anti-proliferative
effects)
T.S. Han et al. Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 27 (2013) 509–525
17. OBESITY PARADOX
Obese elderly have lower
mortality vs lean BUT
based on BMI
Excess mortality in lean
individuals only in those
who had lost weight; not
observed among those
who have always been lean
Han et al British Medical Bulletin 2011;97:169-196
20. Reduce intra-abdominal fat with
modest, conventional diet
restriction AND preservation of
muscle mass and strength
through physical activity
Han et al British Medical Bulletin 2011;97:169-196
21. LIFESTYLE
INTERVENTION
Just as effective in
older individuals
Weight loss to improve
physical function &
quality of life
Han et al British Medical Bulletin 2011;97:169-196
22. Low-fat nutrient-rich diet
Regular physical activity
STILL
for weight management
T.S. Han et al. Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 27 (2013) 509–525
23. Very low energy diets
(VLED) conventionally
avoided in elderly:
400-800 kcal/day
Medical
consultation
needed if >70 y.o.
T.S. Han et al. Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 27 (2013) 509–525
24. Protein intake of
0.6-0.8 g/kg/day does
NOT protect elderly
from muscle loss
leading to sarcopenia
Li z & Heber D. Nutrition Review 2011;70(1):57-64
Protein is most
satiating nutrient and
promotes retention of
lean body mass
27. N = 160, ave age 70 y and above per group
Weight management program + one of 3 exercise
programs (aerobic, resistance training or both)
Villareal D et al N Engl J Med 2017;376:1943-55.
28. Villareal D et al N Engl J Med 2017;376:1943-55.
AEROBIC: 60 min/per session (10
min flexibility exercises + 40 min of
aerobic exercises + 10 min of
balance exercises). Treadmill
walking, stationary cycling, stair
climbing
RESISTANCE: (40 min of nine
upper-body and lower-body
exercise using weight lifting
machines)
COMBINATION: 75 to 90 min long
(30 to 40 min of aerobic + 30 to 40
min of resistance)
t = 26 weeks
29. AEROBIC, RESISTANCE EXERCISE OR
BOTH IN DIETING OBESE OLDER ADULTS
Control: group sessions
on healthy diet monthly
Supplements to ensure
intake of 1500 mg Ca/
day & 1000 IU vit D/day
Body weight decreased
by 9% in all exercise
groups (no change in
control group)
Villareal D et al N Engl J Med 2017;376:1943-55.
30. Villareal D et al N Engl J Med 2017;376:1943-55.
500-750 kcal deficit diet
(1 g high quality protein/kg/day) +
3 times weekly exercise
31. Monitor drugs whose action or half-life may
be altered by weight loss
Diuretics, antihypertensive & hypoglycemic drugs, warfarin,
digoxin etc.
H2-blockers, analgesics & antidepressants may no longer be
needed
Han et al British Medical Bulletin 2011;97:169-196
32. ORLISTAT
Similar safety and benefit in elderly
Steatorrhea may be troublesome for elderly:
fecal incontinence & difficulty adhering to diet
Han et al British Medical Bulletin 2011;97:169-196
33. Han et al British Medical Bulletin 2011;97:169-196
Bariatric surgery
in older groups:
greater perioperative
complications & lower success
(pre-existing heart disease)
