Visceral mortality

Obesity is associated with serious health risks and increased mortality. Central obesity reflects high levels of intraabdominal or visceral fat that is associated with the development of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. 

Fitzhugh and Nelson (19) found that oxalic acid up to 1.2% of the diet did not affect growth or mortality rate of rats fed oxalic acid for 1 year. Microscopic pathological examination showed no major visceral damage, but some of the rats showed slight periportal hypertrophy of the hepatic cells along with slight centrolobular atrophy.

The endovascular procedure is most frequently used to treat infrarenal AAAs that are a leading cause of death in the older population, As our population ages, we will encounter AAAs more frequently than ever before. An aneurysm is defined by a size greater than 5 cm or 2.5 times the normal diameter of the native artery. Most aneurysms begin below the renal arteries and end close to the iliac bifurcation. More complicated AAAs exist involving the suprarenal aorta and visceral vessels and extending into the iliac arteries. The prevalence of AAAs is 3% to 10% for patients older than 50 years (I). They occur more frequently in men and reach a peak incidence close to the age of 80 years. AAA rupture is associated with an 80% to 90% mortality rate and therefore the focus of AAA treatment is on intervening before the aneurysm ruptures elective repair has mortality rate of less than 5%. 

Among various types of fat deposition, visceral fat type obesity is one risk factor for metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. The risk of diseases such as diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease, as well as all-cause mortality, increases in proportion to the increase in body adipose above optimal, but intra-abdominal distribution of fat in the body is associated more closely with disease risk. 

The survival reported by numerous groups is comparable with that observed with other abdomi-nopelvic malignancy such as retroperitoneal and visceral sarcoma and liver metastases from colorectal cancer. The survival is far superior to that for some cancers that are routinely resected, such as pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, and cholan-giocarcinoma. By analogy with other standard of practice management plans, the efficacy of these peritoneal carcinosis treatments and the morbidity and mortality are acceptable.
