Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate of body mass index and eating behaviour changes in female patients with fibromyalgia under medical treatment.
The aim of this study is to verify the efficacy of body weight-support treadmill training combined with high-frequency rTMS in improving the sensory-motor function of adult patients with chronic incomplete thoracolumbar spinal cord injury.
For the purpose of this pilot study, the investigators hypothesize that the use of the Step Up Your Game protocol will result in statistically significant improvements in health and athletic performance. The key to this is the coordination of resources from a supervising physician, physical therapist, trainer, dietitian, coach, competitor, role model, psychologist, and spiritual leader. Notably, Step Up Your Game provides resources which would allow patients to find or be their own physical therapist, trainer, dietitian, coach, competitor, role model, psychologist, and spiritual leader. The role of the supervising physician, however, is meant for a qualified professional, who follows the osteopathic approach to medicine, in which the body is treated as an integrated whole, while also working to prevent and treat injuries. Though not limited solely to osteopathic physicians, it is critical to take into account every health aim and injury in the context of the athlete and how these affect all aspects of participants lives.
This study evaluates the different enhancement using a contrast agent dose in computed tomography based on total body weight or based on lean body weight. Half of participants will receive contrast agent dose based on their total body weight, while the other half will receive a dose based on their lean body weight. Our hypothesis is that if contrast agent is administered not basing on total body weight but on lean body weight it is possible to obtain equal or better quality of enhanced images, a reduction of the variability of contrast enhancement, and also a dose reduction in some patients (overweight ones).
Evaluation of metabolic profile of users of hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives during five years follow-up
The aim of this study is compare the reversal of rocuronium induced neuromuscular blockade in morbidly obese patients using three doses of sugammadex; based on ideal body weight, adjusted body weight, and actual body weight.
The investigators aim to ascertain how food reward signals and eating behaviour relates to the gut-brain pathway in weight-losing patients after curative surgery for oesophageal cancer, and how this pathway responds to clinical treatment for this unintentional weight loss. The primary outcomes are the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal on functional MRI (fMRI), and the breakpoint during the progressive ratio task (PRT - a measure of eating behaviour), how these differ in response to multiple clinical treatment options, as well as how they relate to weight gain while on treatment.
The world prevalence of obesity in adult population in 2014 was nearly 13% while in Indonesia, it has reached 32.9% in the same year. Obesity is an established risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. A large proportion of people who had succeeded to reduce body weight failed to maintain it (weight cycling). Studies were inconclusive about the best composition in the diet for such people to have a better life quality and reduce risk factors from non-communicable disease. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the body composition changes, Inflammation marker and oxidative stress marker changes resulted from low calorie high protein and standard protein diet programme in obese people with history of weight cycling. This is an open-randomized clinical trial of weight loss program as a part of a larger study researching the effect of low calorie high protein diet to body composition, oxidative stress, inflammation marker and metabolic syndrome in obese with weight cycling. Subjects were assigned to low calorie diet and were randomly distributed into two intervention groups, namely high protein group (22-30 % of total calories intake) and standard protein group (12-20%). Anthropometry, body composition data, and blood sample (for inflammation marker (HsCRP) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde and glutathione)) were taken at baseline and at the end of the study. Subjects were followed up to 8 weeks with daily reminder and weekly counselling
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of increasing amino acid and energy intake during parenteral and enteral nutrition with and without the stimulation of the infant's physical activity, on growth of extremely low birth weight infants .
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of repeated periods of modified fasting in support of healthy weight management and prevention of weight gain over the winter holiday period (mid-November to early January) in comparison to regular diet and activity.
