Obesity Cohort Bichat Louis Mourier
Obesity prevalence rapidly increased in the past decades in French population with multiple health consequences responsible for excess mortality.

This study will evaluate the relationship between obesity, obesity-derived …
Obesity Doppler in Term Pregnancy
Maternal obesity is an epidemic in the developed world like Egypt. There are many pregnancy-associated complications including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and increased rates of septic wound after cesarean delivery.

Impact of Bariatric Surgery in Obese Patients With and Without Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
It has been shown to date that obesity is associated with increased mortality and that weight loss significantly improves cardiovascular risk factors. Among patients receiving bariatric surgery, 30-90% have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. Given the strong associations between OSA and cardiometabolic comorbidities, this project is based …

Investigate the association of FTO gene (Obesity) polymorphisms with the …
Changes in the Lipidomic, Immunological and miRNA Profile in Patients Undergoing a Dietary Program or Bariatric Surgery
Obesity is a chronic disease characterized phenotypically by an increase in body weight (BMI>30 kg/m2) and by a series of associated pathologies, such as hypertension, diabetes, hepatic steatosis. The association of these pathologies compromises the patient's survival and quality of life. The multifactorial origin of obesity makes its etiopathology difficult …
