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.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to [learn about, test, compare etc.] in critically ill or injured cohorts of patients presenting to the Emergency Department. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are weight estimates from a 3D camera system more accurate than standard methods of weight estimation? - Do patients who receive weight estimates with a 3D camera system have fewer drug dosing errors than patients receiving standard care? Participants will either receive a weight estimate using a 3D camera system, or standard methods of care. Researchers will compare the 3D camera group to those with standard care to see if the weight estimates are more accurate, to see if drug dosing is more accurate, and to compare the incidence of adverse events related to medications in each group.
The purpose is to optimize the EMPOWER program by integrating strategies to reduce food cravings, a critical yet often overlooked factor for long-term success in weight management. The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of craving coping strategies on weight loss outcomes by conducting a randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomized to receive one of the two strategies to manage food cravings.
Rapid and accurate determination of body weight in adult intensive care patients is very important for both calculating target tidal volume during invasive mechanical ventilation support and dose dependent drug administration. In this patient group, measuring actual body weight with a calibrated scale by standing the patient up is often impossible due to acute illness. Instead, estimated body weight determined by health care personnel or estimated body weights calculated according to anthropometric measurements are used. These calculations have some limitations in showing actual body weight, and there is some controversial information in current literature regarding their validity in critically ill patients. There is newly developed patient transfer scale called Marsden M-999® manufactured by Marsden Weighing Machine Group Ltd, which has the advantage of being used in patients who are unable to stand up, in rapidly and accurately measuring the current body weight in critically ill patients. This study aimed to evaluate the validity of these methods by comparing the body weights calculated by visual estimation and various anthropometric methods in critically ill Turkish patients with the actual weight measured by the mentioned scale.
Prolonged dietary protein restriction has been shown to increase energy expenditure in mice simultaneously with an increase in plasma FGF21 levels. In overfeeding studies, a protein-restricted diet reduces weight gain in both mice and humans compared with normal and high-protein diets. Further, in energy balance studies, when lean men are provided with a protein-restricted diet for five weeks, an increase in energy intake was necessary to obtain their body weight. However, whether the effect of a protein-restricted diet is the same when consumed by overweight to obese men has divergent results in both mice and humans.
The physical and mental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been examined by many researchers, but this study aims to evaluate in every aspect how university students who had to receive education with the distance education model due to the pandemic went through this process. Data regarding people's positive and negative habits from anthropometric characteristics and sleep quality, which is one of the sub-dimensions of healthy lifestyle behaviors, were evaluated, and the relationship between these parameters was examined in detail.
This study is a parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT). To determine the effect of intermittent fasting, intermittent fasting with behavioral economics, and intensive lifestyle modification on nutritional status; the differences between HOMA-IR, body weight change, and body composition in obese people. Each participant will be randomized to receive the intervention (intermittent fasting, intermittent fasting with behavioral economics, or intensive lifestyle modification. The study protocol will be explained to the eligible participant and informed written consent will be obtained. The total sample size will be 123 participants. Blood and urine samples will be collected at baseline and each follow-up visit including 1-month, 2-months, 6-month, and 12-months, respectively for further study to find out the mechanisms of weight loss, weight regain, and the improvement in the metabolic disease.
Although the use of wetting solutions during high-volume liposuction is a standard approach, it is unclear how to optimize wetting solutions and components and their effect on postoperative complications.. Since the super-wet technique (aspiration of 1 cc per 1 cc of infiltrate) was introduced in 1986, it has become one of the most frequently applied techniques worldwide . Adrenaline and lidocaine are often added to WS due to their hemostatic and analgesic effects One of the major advantages of super-wet technique is that blood loss is quite low. However, potential cardiovascular side effects of WS and the amounts of epinephrine and lidocaine they contain, such as volume overload, local anesthetic toxicity, hypertension, arrhythmia, and tachycardia, are still a scoop of investigation. In this study, we examined the WS and the medications it contains from a different perspective to understand the possible cause of these adverse outcomes. Despite the most suitable candidates for liposuction are patients with a BMI<30 kg/m2 and low comorbidity and age, the patient group undergoing liposuction is often obese, and overweight individuals require that obesity-related pathophysiological changes be taken into consideration. Therefore, we analyzed the patients by dividing them into two groups according to the amount of WS applied according to their IBW (WS/IBW≤90ml/kg: group I and WS/IBW>90ml/kg: group I). In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of wetting solutions and components calculated according to ideal body weight (IBW) on postoperative complications
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effect of time-restricted eating (14-hour fast, 10-hour eating window) of a low-energy dense diet (reduced calories per gram of food) in older adults with obesity and insulin resistance. The study aims to determine if modulating the energy density of the diet reduces: 1. Insulin resistance and 2. Body weight. Researchers will compare the groups: 1. Following time-restricted eating and given a diet reduced in energy density or 2. Following time-restricted eating and given a diet typically consumed in this population
