Management of obesity in adults: European clinical practice guidelines
Constantine Tsigos,Vojtech Hainer,Arnaud Basdevant,Nick Finer,Martin Fried,Elisabeth M. H. Mathus-Vliegen,Dragan Micic,Maximo Maislos,Gabriela Roman,Yves Schutz,Hermann Toplak,Barbara Zahorska-Markiewicz +11 more
TL;DR: Doctors have a responsibility to recognise obesity as a disease and help obese patients with appropriate prevention and treatment, and treatment should be based on good clinical care and evidence-based interventions and obesity treatment should focus on realistic goals and lifelong management.

Effects of excessive body weight on postural control.
Janusz W. Błaszczyk,Joanna Cieślińska-Świder,Michał Plewa,Barbara Zahorska-Markiewicz,Andrzej Markiewicz +4 more
TL;DR: The increased body weight imposed new biomechanical constraints, that resulted in functional adaptation of the control of the erect posture characterized by a reduced postural sway associated with a substantial reduction of the dynamic stability range in subjects with BMI>40.

Serum concentrations of TNF-α and soluble TNF-α receptors in obesity
Barbara Zahorska-Markiewicz,Joanna Janowska,Magdalena Olszanecka-Glinianowicz,Aleksander Zurakowski +3 more
TL;DR: The observed decrease of the serum concentration of TNF-α and the increase in both TNF soluble receptors after weight reducing treatment in obese subjects, may be a counter-regulation preventing further weight loss.

Joint statement of the European Association for the Study of Obesity and the European Society of Hypertension: obesity and difficult to treat arterial hypertension.
Jens Jordan,Volkan Yumuk,Markus P. Schlaich,Peter M. Nilsson,Barbara Zahorska-Markiewicz,Guido Grassi,Roland E. Schmieder,Stefan Engeli,Nick Finer +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the association between obesity and hypertension shows large inter-individual variability, likely through genetic mechanisms and obesity-induced neurohumoral activation appears to be involved; however, current hypertension guidelines do not provide evidence-based guidance on how to institute weight loss.

Serum concentration of visfatin in obese women
Barbara Zahorska-Markiewicz,Magdalena Olszanecka-Glinianowicz,Joanna Janowska,Piotr Kocełak,Elżbieta Semik-Grabarczyk,Michał Holecki,Piotr Dąbrowski,Anna Skorupa +7 more
TL;DR: The observed increase of visfatin in obesity may be a counterregulation preventing further glucose increase, and positive correlations between serum concentrations of visFatin and insulin in the obese group were found.
