Filter by:This single-center, randomized controlled pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy of TruHeight Growth Protein Shake on improving growth patterns in children aged 4-17 years. Over six months, participants will consume the protein shake daily, five times a week, with outcomes measured in terms of type X collagen concentration in urine, height via a stadiometer, and body composition using an INBODY device.
Purpose: Proximal femur fracture is a major traumatic injury in elderly populations; however, practical postoperative weight-bearing protocols are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate whether early weight-bearing status after proximal femur nail fixation is associated with any loss of reduction and evaluate the clinical outcomes of this intervention. Patients and methods: For this prospective single-center clinical trial study, we recruited 60 geriatric proximal femur fracture cases, classified by AO/OTA 2018, receiving intramedullary nail fixation. The participants were assigned to the Early-weight-bearing group (n= 30) or the Weight-bearing restriction group (n = 30). Clinical outcomes included the Harris functional hip score and VAS pain score. Additionally, demographic data, radiological parameters, time to weight-bearing, mortality rate, medical and surgical complications, and final ambulation status were recorded.
To study the effects of probiotic supplementation with a weight loss program and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on anthropometric measures, eating behavior, food addiction, and related hormone levels in patients with food addiction and weight regain after bariatric surgery, 50 patients who referred to obesity clinic with weight regain (regaining ≥10% nadir weight) after bariatric surgery (at least 18 months), and food addiction will be randomly allocated to receive a weight loss program and CBT plus either probiotic, or placebo for 12 weeks. At the first and the end of the intervention, anthropometric measurements, eating behavior, food addiction, leptin, serotonin, and oxytocin will be assessed and compared between groups.
The study aimed to explore the complex relationship between various systemic inflammatory indices and birth weight
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of a intensive weight loss program (STREAM) in patients living with PCOS. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: how much weight will these patients lose over a 24-week program, and what other health markers (ie., insulin sensitivity) will improve and by how much? Participants will complete a 24-week weight loss program (STREAM). During this program they will: - weigh themselves - complete regular bloodwork and - fill out a Quality of Life questionnaire at regular intervals
The regulation of human body weight and fatness is not fully understood. Although some models of regulation have been proposed (set point, dual-intervention point, others), no studies have been designed to test their predictions. In this pilot and feasibility study, the investigators will implement an experimental approach to test the predictions of models of body weight regulation in humans. Men and women with either underweight or obesity will be exposed to a 2-day fasting followed by a 2-day ad-libitum refeeding. During the entire fasting-refeeding period, energy intake and expenditure will be accurately measured within metabolic chambers. The investigators will therefore determine the compensatory responses to fasting elicited to prevent weight loss. The results will serve to design and power future studies to better understand body weight regulation.
The Investigators propose suture plication placement at the distal gastric body drives a significant portion of weight loss in endoscopic sleeve and sutures only need to be placed in the distal gastric body. Therefore, in this pilot study, the investigators aim to compare "belt" with "belt and suspenders" plication pattern using the Endomina system to determine percent total weight loss.
The goal of this experiment is to examine the effects on explicit weight bias of a selection task using 4 different types of front-of-package food labels to select healthy or unhealthy foods among a sample of Latine and low English proficiency adults. The main questions this experiment aims to answer are: - Does the use of different front-of-package label designs in a selection task lead to different effects on explicit weight bias among Latine and low English proficiency consumers? - Does the use of different front-of-package label designs in a selection task lead to different effects on attribution of personal responsibility for body weight among Latine and low English proficiency consumers? Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 types of front-of-package label designs. They will view 3 sets of products (frozen meals, frozen pizzas, and frozen desserts), shown in random order. For each product set, participants will view 3 products shown in random arrangement, each with participants' randomly assigned label shown on the front of package. After viewing all 3 product types, participants will answer questions about explicit weight bias and attribution of responsibility for body weight. Researchers will compare results across label designs.
- Efficacy of olanzapine on weight gain in advanced stage gynecologic cancer - Proprotion of pateints in advanced stage gynecologic cancer who recieving paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy gain weight on olanzapine or placebo
Evidence shows that anti-fat attitudes and weight stigma are prevalent among healthcare professionals and may affect treatment decisions regarding patients with obesity. The present study aimed to examine the presence of anti-fat attitudes and weight stigma among orthopedic surgeons and their correlation to the therapeutic approach to patients with obesity. In this cross-sectional survey, 150 orthopedic surgeons will complete a web-based questionnaire. the questionnaire is based on Antifat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA), developed by Crandall in 1994. In addition, the questionnaire will include a questionnaire developed by Bocquier in 200521 to explore weight stigma among physicians.
