Abstract:
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment method to help people with morbid obesity to lose weight and manage their health and weight. Bariatric surgeries can be divided into three categories such as restrictive procedures, malabsorptive procedures and combination (restrictive and malabsorption) procedures. Generally, patients undergoing restrictive procedures have the least risk for long-term diet-related complications, whereas patients undergoing malabsorptive procedures have the highest risk. In many patients, the benefits of weight loss, such as decreased blood glucose, lipids and blood pressure and increased mobility, will outweigh the risks of surgical complications. Most diet-related surgical complications can be prevented by following a strict eating behavior guidelines and supplement prescriptions. Eating behavior guidelines include restricting portion sizes, chewing foods slowly and completely, eating and drinking separately and avoiding foods that are poorly tolerated. Supplement prescriptions vary among practitioners and usually involve at least a multivitamin with minerals. Some practitioners may add other supplements only as needed for diagnosed deficiencies; others may prescribe additional prophylactic supplements. The most common nutrient deficiencies are deficiency of iron, foliate and vitamin B12. Fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E and K have been reported in patients with malabsorption procedures and Thiamine deficiency is very common among patients with inadequate food intake and/or nausea and vomiting. The diet after bariatric surgery is different from all other diets. So plan the menu based on the nutrient requirements and adhere to that to lead a healthy post bariatric surgery life. Frequent monitoring of nutrition status for all patients undergone bariatric surgeries can be helpful in preventing severe clinical deficiencies.

Abstract:
The plant kingdom offers a rich source of structural biodiversity in the form of a variety of natural products. As we know natural products continue to play an important role especially in and food and pharmaceutical industries. Besides medicament, plants have always been a common source of food and nutrition either as such or as dietary supplements. The unique nutrient richness of every whole, natural food can be show cased in a variety of ways. But there is no better way to highlight the unique nutrient richness of foods than to focus on their flavonoid content. Flavonoid, one of the largest nutrient families known to scientists, covers a large group of naturally occurring, low molecular phenolic compounds found practically in all parts of the plant, include over 6,000 already-identified family members. A large number of novel flavonoids and bi flavonoids have been isolated from medicinal plants. Some of the best-known flavonoids include quercetin, kaempferol, catechins and anthocyanidins. Obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disease and a growing public health problem worldwide. In this talk the anti-obesity potential of diverse plants such as Aloe vera, Camellia sinensis, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Hypericum perforatum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Capsicum annuum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Citrus limon, Punica granatum and some other common plants will be discussed. Researchers consider the potential of these plants as natural alternative treatments of some metabolic alterations associated with obesity. Market dietary supplements for obesity frequently contain undeclared/ hidden active ingredients that could be harmful to public health, the laboratory experience on this intensional adulteration shows that Plants play a untrivial role in public Health which is free from Adulteration contamination when compared with modern medicines. Hence plants with special reference to flavonoids helps and prevents us from mutation especially in obesity prevention.

Title: Time to optimal glycaemic control and prognostic factors among Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in public teaching hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Biography:
Abstract:
Background: Diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. Poorly managed diabetes leads to serious complications and early death. The prevalence of diabetes has been increasing over the past few decades. Ethiopia is one of African countries with the highest number of people living with diabetes. Studies conducted in Ethiopia and other countries mainly focused on level of glycemic control at one point in time. Studies targeting the time that a patient stayed in a poor glycemic level are lacking.
Objective: To estimate time to fi rst optimal glycemic control and to identify prognostic factors among Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients in public teaching hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Methods: A hospital based retrospective chart review study was conducted from April to July 2018 at diabetes clinic of Addis Ababa’s public teaching hospitals among randomly selected sample of 685 charts of T2DM patients who were on follow up from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2017. Data was collected using pretested data abstraction tool. Data was checked, coded and entered to Epi-Info V.7.2.1.0 and exported to SPSS V.23.0 and STATA V.14.1 for analysis. Descriptive statistics is presented with frequency tables, KaplanMeier plots and median survival times. Association was done using Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard survival model, where hazard ratio, P-value and 95% CI for hazard ratio were used for testing signifi cance and interpretation of results.
Results: Median time to fi rst optimal glycemic control among the study population was 9.5 months. Th e major factors that aff ect it are age group (HR=0.635, 95% CI: 0.486-0.831 for 50-59 years, HR=0.558, 95% CI: 0.403-0.771 for 60-69 years and HR=0.495, 95% CI: 0.310-0.790 for ≥70 years), diabetes neuropathy (HR=0.502, 95% CI: 0.375-0.672), more than one complication (HR=0.381, 95% CI: 0.177-0.816), hypertension (HR=0.611, 95% CI: 0.486-0.769), dyslipidemia (HR=0.609, 95% CI: 0.450-0.824), cardiovascular disease (HR=0.670, 95% CI: 0.458-0.979) and hospital patient treated at (HR=1.273, 95% CI: 1.052-1.541).
Conclusion: Median time to first optimal glycemic control among T2DM patients is longer than expected which might imply that patients are being exposed to more risk of complication and death.
