GALLBLADDER DISEASE [7 records]

Record 1 2025-03-12

English

Subject field(s)

  • Liver and Biliary Ducts
CONT

Chronic gallbladder disease refers to several conditions that can harm gallbladder function. The gallbladder, a sac located under the liver, stores and regulates the release of bile into the upper small intestine to aid in the digestion of fat. When a chronic condition prevents the gallbladder from doing its job effectively, it's known as chronic gallbladder disease. Several different conditions fall under the umbrella of chronic gallbladder disease, though most cases involve chronic cholecystitis. This condition is an inflammation of the gallbladder that usually results from the formation of gallstones. It can cause the gallbladder to shrink and lose function.

CONT

Gallbladder disease includes inflammation, infection, stones or blockage of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores and concentrates bile produced in the liver. Bile aids in the digestion of fat and is released from the gallbladder into the upper small intestine in response to food(especially fats).

Au Bénin, 11 % des femmes ont un indice de masse corporelle (IMC) se situant en-deçà du seuil critique (moins de 18,5 kg/m²) et présentent ainsi une déficience énergétique chronique et 6 % sont considérées [comme] obèses (IMC supérieur ou égal à 30 kg/m²).

CONT

Une personne obèse a trois fois plus de risque d'être diabétique qu'une personne non obèse. La pression artérielle augmente aussi avec le poids : 30 à 40 % des personnes obèses sont hypertendues [...] On estime que 20 à 30 % des personnes obèses font des apnées du sommeil. [...] De nombreux autres troubles fonctionnels ont une incidence élevée chez les sujets obèses [...]

Overweight is a risk factor for health conditions such as diabetes and is associated with problems such as poor self-esteem.

OBS

CONT

Les sujets et les groupes à haut risque d'obésité future du fait d'une surcharge pondérale (IMCde masse corporelle 25-29,9), doivent également recevoir une attention médicale, mais pour eux l'accent doit être mis sur la prévention de toute prise de poids.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec le terme «embonpoint» qui désigne aussi un état intermédiaire entre le poids normal et l'obésité, mais dans lequel l'«excès de poids» est spécifiquement causé par un excès de tissu adipeux.

OBS

DEF

A category of obesity that is defined for adults as a body mass index greater than or equal to 40.0 kg/m² and is associated with a high risk of developing many illnesses.

CONT

According to the NIH [National Institutes of Health] guidelines, individuals are stratified into six weight classes depending solely on their BMI [body mass index]: underweight (BMI [less than] 18.5), normal weight (BMI: 18.5-24.9), overweight (BMI: 25.0-29.9), moderate obesity (BMI: 30.0-34.9), severe obesity (BMI: 35.0-40.0), and extreme obesity (BMI: 40.0+).

CONT

Morbid obesity, also referred to as clinically severe obesity or extreme obesity, is a chronic disease that afflicts approximately 9 million adult Americans.... The morbidity and mortality risk from being overweight is proportional to its degree. Individuals with morbid obesity, therefore, have the highest risk for developing numerous illnesses that often reduce mobility and quality of life due to their excess weight. In particular, type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease and osteoarthritis have been found to increase concurrently with higher BMI [body mass index]. Premature death, a 20-year shorter life span, has also been found in individuals with morbid obesity. All of the systems that make the body function are affected by morbid obesity.

DEF

Catégorie d'obésité qui est définie chez l'adulte par un indice de masse corporelle supérieur ou égal à 40,0 kg/m² et risque fortement de s'accompagner de divers troubles ou maladies.

CONT

Qu'entend-on par obésité morbide? C'est l'obésité qui est susceptible de s'accompagner des complications sérieuses, appelées aussi co-morbidités : hypertension artérielle, diabète, maladies coronariennes, insuffisance respiratoire entre autres. Par le fait de ces co-morbidités, cette forme de l'obésité altère la qualité de vie et raccourcit l'espérance de vie des sujets. L'obésité à potentialité morbide représente 100 % ou plus d'excès par rapport au poids idéal ou encore plus précis[ément], un indice de masse corporelle [...] de 40 kg/m² ou plus.

CONT

An adult who has a BMI [body mass index] between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight. ... Height ... 5’ 9" ... Weight range ... 169 lbs to 202 lbs ... BMI ... 25.0 to 29.9 ... Considered ... Overweight ... some people, such as athletes, may have a BMI that identifies them as overweight even though they do not have excess body fat. ... BMI is just one indicator of potential health risks associated with being overweight or obese.

CONT

Being overweight or obese increases the risk of many diseases and health conditions, including the following : hypertension; dyslipidemia(for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides) ;type 2 diabetes; coronary heart disease; stroke; gallbladder disease; osteoarthritis; sleep apnea and respiratory problems; some cancers(endometrial, breast, and colon).

DEF

Se dit d'une personne dont l'indice de masse corporelle se situe entre 25 et 30 kg/m².

CONT

L'Organisation mondiale de la santé a adopté la classification suivante : [...] IMCde masse corporelle 25-29,9 [kg/m²] : préobèse (ou en surpoids) [...] La notion d'IMC ne permet toutefois pas de faire la différence entre masse grasse et masse maigre. Elle ne vaut que pour des personnes musclées sans excès, au squelette moyen. Les individus fortement charpentés, ou très musclés, peuvent avoir un IMC élevé sans être gras pour autant.

CONT

La glycémie à jeun et le bilan lipidique sont des éléments importants de l'évaluation d'une personne préobèse ou obèse et il s'agit d'une recommandation de catégorie A [...] parce que les patients obèses (en particulier ceux qui ont une obésité tronculaire) présentent un risque de prédiabète [...], de diabète de type 2 et de dyslipidémie.

OBS

en surpoids : Ce terme est aussi parfois utilisé pour qualifier toute personne dont le poids est supérieur à un poids dit normal (c.-à-d. un indice de masse corporelle supérieur à 25 kg/m²), y compris une personne obèse.

[The disorders] are associated with Epstein-Barr virus and monoclonal lymphoma with clonal cytogentic changes. Unlike other postallograft lymphoproliferative processes, B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders in these patients have not responded to antiviral therapy, immunologic therapy, or chemotherapy. The radiographic patterns of disease include diffuse or focal hepatic involvement; gallbladder wall thickening; and pulmonary, soft-tissue, and basal-ganglion masses. These radiologic findings are not specific and evaluation of tissue histology is required for diagnosis.
