Restrictive gastric operations, such as vertical banded gastroplasty(VGB), serve only to restrict and decrease food intake and do not interfere with the normal digestive process. In this procedure the upper stomach near the esophagus is stapled vertically to create a small pouch along the inner curve of the stomach. The outlet from the pouch to the rest of the stomach is restricted by a band made of special material. The band delays the emptying of food from the pouch, causing a feeling of fullness. 3, record 1, English, - vertical%20banded%20gastroplasty

La gastroplastie verticale calibrée est une intervention chirurgicale restrictive de l'obésité qui permet de réduire la quantité d'aliments ingérée par le patient sans modifier le processus de digestion. Cette intervention consiste à pratiquer une petite incision circulaire sur la paroi de l'estomac, à quelques centimètres sous l'œsophage. L'estomac est ensuite agrafé de façon à délimiter une petite poche verticale entre l'orifice pratiqué et l'œsophage. [...] Un anneau est ensuite passé entre l'orifice pratiqué et la sortie de la poche. Cet anneau va empêcher que l'orifice pratiqué ne se relâche. Il va également contrôler le diamètre de l'orifice d'entrée vers l'estomac. Les aliments vont donc mettre plus de temps à passer dans l'estomac et donner au patient une sensation de satiété. 3, record 1, French, - gastroplastie%20verticale%20calibr%C3%A9e

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) receptor agonists. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood glucose(sugar). GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that reduce appetite and signal a feeling of fullness. 1, record 2, English, - semaglutide

Le sémaglutide est un analogue du GLP-1 [qui] agit comme agoniste des récepteurs du GLP-1 [...] Le sémaglutide réduit la glycémie de façon glucose-dépendante en stimulant la sécrétion d'insuline et en réduisant la sécrétion de glucagon lorsque la glycémie est élevée. Le mécanisme de réduction de la glycémie entraîne également un léger retard de la vidange gastrique en début de phase postprandiale. Lors d'une hypoglycémie, le sémaglutide diminue la sécrétion d'insuline sans altérer la sécrétion du glucagon. 1, record 2, French, - s%C3%A9maglutide
