Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can reflect the microstructure and pathological changes of tissue, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can quantitatively evaluate the fine structure of white matter in brain. In this study, conventional and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI, DTI) sequences were used to analyze the brain of monochorionic twin pregnancies with demise of one fetus.
This research aims to measure anew way of calories counting using a mobile app on weight loss and adherence to the mobile app. The participants should be adults who is overweight or obese and should have a smartphone with access to the internet. The participants will fill a baseline survey, take the height and weight measurements, watch a video about the use of the calories counting and app. A follow up visit will be in 4 weeks to take the height and weight measurements and fill a questionnaire. There is an option for the participants to continue with the research for additional 11 months with visit at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Studies of appetitive behavior in humans after RYGB have produced ambiguous results. It therefore remains unclear whether there are fundamental shifts in the palatability of high-fat and sugary foods after RYGB or simply a decrease in the appetitive drive to ingest them. Moreover, learning processes may play a role as changes in diet selection progress with time in rats after RYGB. However, direct measures of an altered food selection in humans after RYGB are rare and both the durability of the phenomenon as well as the role of experience for changes in food selection remain elusive.
There are few studies on the optimal value of pregnancy weight gain for twin pregnancy in China.At present, China has not put forward guidelines for the appropriate value of weight gain in twin pregnancy, and the lack of standards for weight gain during pregnancy in clinical application or disease prevention and control seriously restricts the health management of pregnant women.In order to effectively control a series of adverse consequences caused by improper weight gain of women during twin pregnancy, it is urgent to establish the appropriate value of weight gain during twin pregnancy, which will also fill the gap in this field in China.
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 16-week online behavioral weight loss program compared to usual care to promote weight loss in the postpartum period among women with cardiovascular risk factors. The investigators will also be testing different behavioral strategies to recruit postpartum women to the study, including 2 email recruitment strategies and 2 mailer recruitment strategies, informed by behavioral design.
Obesity is a serious global public health issue. Many reports have showed that the use of appropriate probiotics can bring benefits to the health of the host and promote the balance of gut microbiota. Clinical experimental data show that the supplement of probiotics can help regulate gut function and weight control, and etc. TCI378 (Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378) is a probiotic extracted from Korean kimchi, and TCI507 (Lactobacillus plantarum TCI507) is a probiotic extracted from the oranges peels. These two strains of probiotics have been verified by in vitro experiments to have the effect of hydrolyzing bile salts, inhibition of the production of fat cells. Therefore, we want to evaluate whether the probiotics TCI308 and TCI507 have effects on reduction of body weight.
The objective of this randomized clinical trial will determine the effectiveness of nursing intervention (Kangaroo Baby Massage) on the interaction between mothers and premature, low birth weight infants at home The dyad mother- infant of the control group will receive Kangaroo position KP and the dyad mother- infant mothers of the intervention group will receive the Kangaroo Baby Massage KBM
The present study aims to compare the results obtained from the assessment of skinfolds using four anthropometric calipers (Harpenden, Holtain, Slime Guide and Lipowise). The objectives are to check if there are differences depending on the caliper used to assess skinfolds, and to study the variation in skinfold compressibility as a function of the time elapsed from the application of the caliper to the measurement reading, as well as the validation of the Lipowise caliper. A cross-sectional study will be carried out with a sample of 100 university students aged between 18 and 25 years. Physical activity will be assessed by means of an International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and hydration status by urine samples. Anthropometric assessments, including weight, height, and eight skinfolds, will be performed according to the International Society for the Advancement in Kinanthropometry protocol, using the four previously mentioned calipers. Finally, a data analysis will be carried out to compare the results of the samples taken by the calipersand to draw conclusions.
The IWCR is a global scientific study aimed at better understanding the opportunities and barriers for reducing the prevalence of obesity by collecting information from people who have experience with weight management in their everyday lives. The investigators seek to gather information on a wide range of weight management experiences, ranging from weight loss and weight loss maintenance to weight gain and inability to lose weight.
