Looking forward to a conference end of this week in Orlando. Ethicon Endo Surgery is sponsoring a meeting regarding newly studied metabolic issues and Bariatric Surgery.
The Metabolic Applied Research Strategy (M.A.R.S.) initiative was mentioned earlier in the "Myth" entries in this blog.
From the Ethicon MARS website:
"MARS represents a comprehensive approach to developing an understanding of the mechanisms that drive the significant improvements in health associated with metabolic and bariatric surgery.
Primarily leveraging preclinical models of these surgeries, the approach of MARS is to systematically deconstruct these procedures to understand how they work. This improved understanding provides insights into predictors of procedure outcomes and allows for the rapid and efficient testing of new treatment concepts in the preclinical setting.
Successful therapies and predictors of success are then validated through clinical trials as we seek to improve existing therapies, as well as invent new therapies for patients suffering from obesity and metabolic diseases."
Stay tuned... More information to follow
P.S. On a related note, during rounds today, it was nice to see a patient who was post op day 1, 62 years old, 10 years of Diabetes type 2, with sugars in the 150-160 range less than 24 hours after her Bypass, only on prn insulin scale... And her insulin pump sitting on her bedside stand, turned off, neglected. Not needed, and not wanted.
In the words of the B-52s: Good, Good Stuff.
