Demeter Press Heavy Burdens: Stories of Motherhood and Fatness
Book SynopsisHeavy Burdens: Stories of Motherhood and Fatness seeks to address the systemic ways in which the moral panic around 'obesity' impacts fat mothers and fat children. Taking a life-course approach, the book begins with analyses of the ways in which fatphobia is enacted on pregnant (or even not-yet-pregnant) women, whose bodies immediately become viewed as objects warranting external control by not only medical professionals, but family members, and even passers-by. The story unfolds as adults recount childhood stories of growing up fat, or growing up in fear of being fat, and how their mothers' relationships with their own bodies and attempted weight-loss experiences shaped how food, exercise, and body management were approached in their homes in sometimes harmful ways. Finally, the book concludes with stories of women who have since become mothers, examining the ways in which having their own children altered their views on their own bodies and their perceptions of their mothers' actions, and working to find fat-friendly futures via their own parenting (or grand-parenting) techniques.

Berghahn Books Reconstructing Obesity: The Meaning of Measures
Book Synopsis In the crowded and busy arena of obesity and fat studies, there is a lack of attention to the lived experiences of people, how and why they eat what they do, and how people in cross-cultural settings understand risk, health, and bodies. This volume addresses the lacuna by drawing on ethnographic methods and analytical emic explorations in order to consider the impact of cultural difference, embodiment, and local knowledge on understanding obesity. It is through this reconstruction of how obesity and fatness are studied and understood that a new discussion will be introduced and a new set of analytical explorations about obesity research and the effectiveness of obesity interventions will be established.Trade Review “By situating this collection at the nexus of understanding of knowledge about obesity and obesity itself as contextual, sociocultural, and contested phenomena, the various authors contribute an understanding of obesity as both a local biology and a global assemblage… Highly recommended.” • Choice “This is not a book that seeks to discredit health research and leave others to do the work of finding a better way to conduct it; rather, it aims to improve health research by providing useful avenues for critique and suggestions for ways forward. In this sense, it works as a very practical guide for those working in the health professions, whether as researchers or healthcare providers, to better understand “obesity” and “overweight” and, importantly, fat people in social and environmental context… it makes a welcome and necessary intervention into the business of health research, provision, and discourse, as well as its public reception.” • Fat Studies Journal “The volume is framed by an excellent Introduction… In all, the various contributions and the volume as a whole successfully de-naturalise and de-universalise obesity so that it is no longer a singular category and the various taken for-granted assumptions about the stigmas attached to it are reconceived.” • Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale “Reconstructing Obesity is successful in challenging currently-held notions regarding the measurement and meanings of obesity and fatness. It encourages us to employ critical approaches and interdisciplinary research for advancing obesity research, public health messaging and interventions, and health care practices… an important book for now and in the future.” • American Journal of Human Biology “The volume includes contributions from ten authors seeking to problematize the taken-for-granted assumptions underlying popular, media, and professional discourses about obesity. It is a welcome addition to the growing body of medical anthropological research about chronic and non-communicable conditions… The volume makes several novel contributions to the literature, including, among others, integrated analyses of the linkages between obesity and restrictive eating in cultural context… Overall, the book is an excellent reminder that there is more than meets the eye in popular and professional discourses that dominate our thinking about obesity and health.” • Medical Anthropology Quarterly “A valuable text. The arguments and chapters are coherently linked to highlight the role of cultural assumptions in medical and social attitudes towards fatness and obesity.

Imperial College Press Incretin Biology - A Practical Guide: Glp-1 And
Book SynopsisTogether, obesity and diabetes form a 21st century epidemic, the treatment of which consumes a substantial fraction of global health costs. New and improved therapies are therefore desperately needed.Incretins are short peptide hormones released from the gut in response to food transit. These hormones regulate a plethora of processes to control food intake, body weight and glucose homeostasis. This is one of the fastest areas of growth within diabetes research, and over the past decade, increasing numbers of novel diabetes drugs — many based on incretin action — have been added to the therapeutic armoury.Following an introduction detailing the historical perspective and discovery of incretin therapies and clinical applications, the book looks at the release of incretins at a cellular level from entero-endocrine cells, and actions on the pancreas (alpha and beta cells) and brain. It then looks at changes in incretins seen in diabetes and following bariatric surgery. Finally, the side effects of incretin therapy are discussed. Importantly, each chapter contains a methodology section aimed at providing a practical guide to key techniques in the field of incretin biology and ranges from basic laboratory research to clinical practice.Incretin Biology — A Practical Guide offers a unique perspective within this field of research by bringing together scientists, physicians and bariatric surgeons. Thus, it is a comprehensive text that offers a broad overview of the subject.Table of ContentsHistory of Incretin Discovery and Clinical Application; Synthesis and Secretion of Incretins from the Gut; Action of Incretins on the Pancreatic Beta Cell; Action of Incretins on the Pancreatic Alpha Cell; Role of Incretins in the Brain; Bariatric Surgery: Clinical Aspects; GLP-1 in Bariatric Surgery and Diabetes: Underlying Molecular Mechanisms; Incretin Based Therapies: What are the Safety Implications;

Little, Brown Book Group The Compassionate Mind Approach to Beating Overeating: Series editor, Paul Gilbert
This self-help book explores the problems created by having ready access to high fat foods designed to taste good. Because we evolved in conditions of relative scarcity we have few natural food inhibitors and so most diet books try to encourage people to inhibit their eating by highly rule governed behaviours which have to be constantly worked at. However, this can lead to various forms of self-criticism which can undermine efforts at self-control. As a result our relationship with eating can be complex, multifaceted and problematic.Beating Overeating Using Compassion Focused Therapy uses Compassion Focused Therapy - a groundbreaking new therapeutic approach - to understand and work with our urges and passions for food. We can learn to enjoy and accept food and pay attention to our biological and emotional needs. This book is for people who have tried diets and found that they don't work and will enable the reader to have a healthier and happier relationship with food and their body.Topics covered: The relationship between our brains and food, the evolutionary background to finding, conserving and eating food How too much or too little food affects the brain, why diets don't work, factors affecting our eating behaviour (tastes, stress, comfort, etc) Body shape and culture Developing an inner compassion for one's relationship with food - recognising what we need and what is helpful

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Emergency Surgery in Obese Patients
Book Synopsis This comprehensive, multi-authored book covers all aspects of surgery on obese patients in emergency conditions. Obesity is a metabolic disease affecting a high percentage of world population.. It involves marked anthropometric changes, affecting surgical practice and altering patients’ ability to react to surgical stress. The prevalent comorbidities also affect the rate of complications and mortality after surgery. The obesity paradox, the ability of obese patients to survive emergency operations in spite of an increased risk of complications, is an effect of the widespread development of “Obesity Science”. This volume discusses this science, examining the frailty of the obese patients and the main comorbidities that affect clinical practice, as well as the most frequent emergency situations after trauma, inflammatory diseases and the complications of bariatric surgery.With contributions from leading experts, it provides clinicians with detailed and updated information for better practice in this emerging field of surgery.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsForeword.- 1 The frailty of the obese patients and the effect of surgical stress.- 2 Emergency anaesthesia in the obese patient.- 3 Perioperative and intensive care management of the obese surgical patient.- 4 Postoperative complications in ICU.- 5 The ERAS protocol.- I CLINICAL SETTINGS IN OBESE PATIENTS.- 6 Trauma and burns in obese patients.- 7 Perforations of the upper gastrointestinal tract.- 8 Acute Diverticolitis.- 9 Acute appendicitis.- 10 Pancreatic and biliary emergencies.- 11 Bowel obstruction.- 12 Abdominal compartment syndrome.- II CLINICAL SETTING AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY.- 13 The evolution and development of bariatric surgery.- 14 Metabolic complications after b.s.: the faulse acute Abdomen.- 15 Complications after bariatric surgery.: a general overview.- 16 Complications of BIB therapy.- 17 Complications of restrictive operation.- 18 Upper G-I bleeding after bariatric surgery.- 19 Peptic ulcer after bariatric surgery.- 20 Bowel obstruction after bariatric surgery.- 21 Acute peritonitis and abscess after bariatric surgery.- 22 Anastomotic leakage after bariatric Surgery: from prevention to treatment.- 23 Gallstones and related complications, cholecistitis and Cholangitis after bariatric surgery.- 24 Emergencies After bariatric surgery: the role of flexible endoscopy and interventional radiology.- 25 Extreme remedial surgery for b.s. acute complications.- 26 Accreditation of the surgeon to emergency bariatric surgery.- 27 Litigation after bariatric surgery.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Economics of Obesity: Poverty, Income
Book SynopsisMuch has been written about the economic causes of obesity, but this book offers a comprehensive and deep investigation of the causes and treatment of these issues in a single volume. In the second edition, the author expands upon the serious threat that obesity poses not only to our health, but also to our society. Obesity costs billions of dollars a year in lost productivity and medical expenses. The social distribution of obesity has changed over time. Obesity rates in the United States continue to worsen in parallel with income inequality. Socioeconomic groups with low personal capital, levels of education, and income have higher obesity rates. In fact, the rate of obesity has increased the fastest among low-income Americans. The disproportionate burden of obesity on the poor poses an economic challenge and an ethical imperative. The link between obesity, inactivity, and poverty may be too costly to ignore because obesity-associated chronic disease already accounts for 70% of US healthcare costs. Although economic and technological changes in the environment drove the obesity epidemic, the evidence for effective economic policies to prevent obesity remains limited.The new edition brings together a multitude of topics on obesity previously not discussed with a particular emphasis on the influence of poverty and income inequality on obesity including: Economic Analysis: Behavioral Patterns, Diet Choice, and the Role of Government Income and Wealth Inequality and Obesity Social Mobility and Health Food Policies, Government Interventions, and Reducing Poverty The Economics of Obesity is an essential text for readers interested in learning about the causes and consequences of obesity within a social context including students, academicians, and practitioners in public health, medicine, social sciences, and health economics, both in and outside of the United States. US and international policy-makers also will find the book a salient read in addressing the issues that contribute to the cycle of poverty, income inequality, and obesity.Table of Contents1. Introduction: There is growing evidence that obesity is largely an economic issue. Fundamental causes and consequences of obesity are very complex, as genes, eating habits, where people live, emotions, lifestyle, income, education, and a variety of other factors are explored. History and phases of the obesity epidemic and the measurement of obesity also are discussed. 2. Different perspectives on causes and consequences of obesity: Some argue that obesity is genetically determined in general. Others see the roots of the obesity problem in the powerful social and cultural forces that promote an energy-rich diet and a sedentary lifestyle -- and such an environment has only intensified over the past 30 years. 3. Economic analysis of behavioral pattern and diet choice: Obesity is the result of individual decisions of poor dietary choices and life-behavioral patterns. These, in turn, are affected by supply-and-demand factors, which include individual income, price of food, access to supermarkets, safety of neighborhoods, technology, advertising, and many more factors. Obesity doesn't just impact individuals' pocketbooks; it also affects national budget deficits as obesity increases federal entitlement spending for medical costs through Medicare, Medicaid, and supplemental security income, while the resulting decrease in worker productivity reduces tax revenues. 4. Socioeconomic factors affecting obesity: Materialist theory explains health as influenced by material conditions in life. Neo-material theory expands upon these material explanations by describing the origin of poverty and income inequality that leads to poor health. The quality of relationships deteriorates in less-equal society, which causes more stress and anxiety that can lead to poor health and other negative outcomes. The author highlights the important role stress may play in linking disadvantage to obesity, particularly for women. The author explains how understanding the complex mechanisms and processes that link social inequality to obesity requires multidisciplinary and multilevel frameworks. The stark divide in black-and-white economic mobility and its role on health also is emphasized in this chapter. 5. Empirical investigation of the relationship among obesity, poverty, and income inequality: Data on poverty, income inequality (measured by Gini coefficient), and obesity are tested for the United States.6. Social mobility and obesity: Intergenerational social mobility is discussed and measured using income, wealth, health, and education in both relative and absolute terms. 7. Obesity and socioeconomic status in Peru: A case study of government policy: Data from 2008-2017 (240 data sets) examine obesity in Peru, government policy, and success/failure of such policy to reduce the rate of obesity in Peru. 8. Food policy interventions: Government, international partners, civil society, private sector, and non-governmental organizations have vital roles to play in shaping healthy environments and making healthier dietary options more affordable and accessible to all people. The implementation of food policy interventions requires sustained political commitment and collaboration among many stakeholders in both the public and private sectors. 9. Concluding remarks: The obesity epidemic affects every region of the country and every demographic group. Weight-related complications like fatty liver, orthopedic problems, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes adversely affect human well-being and also society as a whole. The economic burden of obesity affects low-income and otherwise disadvantaged populations the hardest, exacerbating income inequality. Obesity not only affects individuals but also the government in terms of lower tax revenues and more discretionary spending. Blaming individuals and expecting them to take personal responsibility are not effective solutions for the obesity epidemic. Obesity is an issue that requires the passage of policy changes that encourage healthy diets.
