NCT ID: NCT05545943 Completed - Fasting Clinical Trials

Effects of Calorie Restriction and Cold Stimuli on Health-related Indicators, Cognitive and Motor Functions

Start date: February 8, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial was to identify if duration of acute calorie restriction (CR)/fasting or combination CR with cold stimuli have any effects on mental and physical health-related markers, and to clarify if different fasting strategies have any effect on cognitive and motor functioning efficiency in different genders. The main questions it aims to answer were: - Does fasting duration have any effect on fasting evoked responses? - Does cold interventions can modulate fasting evoked responses? - Does sex have any effect on acute fasting evoked responses? For the first part, participants were randomly classified into 4 groups: two experimental groups: 2-days of CR (0 kcal diet) and 6-days of CR (0 kcal diet), and two control groups: 2-days or 6-days usual diet. For the second part, participants were randomly assigned to undergo the following conditions: 2-days of CR with two 10-min whole-body cold-water immersions on separate days, 2-days of CR without cold-water immersion, 2-days without CR with two 10-min whole-body cold-water immersions on separate days, or 2-days of the usual diet without cold-water immersion in a randomized crossover fashion. Changes in anthropometric characteristics, perceived stress, metabolism, overall health (total blood count, sex hormones, etc.), psycho-emotional state, cognitive and motor functions were examined.

NCT ID: NCT03749668 Completed - Colorectal Surgery Clinical Trials

Dietary Survey After Colorectal Surgery Within an Enhanced Recovery Program (DIETERP).

DIETERP
Start date: November 15, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This observational study will quantify caloric-protein intake in 75 patients undergoing colorectal surgery within an enhanced recovery program at CHU Liège. A dietary survey will be performed preoperatively and repeated postoperatively via telephone calls on Day + 3, Day + 7; Day + 15, and Day + 30, after leaving the hospital. The deficits observed will be correlated with the medical and surgical characteristics of the patients

NCT ID: NCT03440593 Completed - Sepsis Clinical Trials

Indirect Calorimetry Usage and Effect in Ventilator-free Days and Muscle Thickness in Septic Ventilated Patients

Start date: September 10, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients admitted to the ICU with diagnosis of sepsis and requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 24-hours and receiving enteral or parenteral nutrition will be prospectively randomized to one of two arms. Patients allocated to the estimated energy expenditure group will receive nutrition with caloric intake calculated based on the Penn State equation. Patients randomized to the measured group will receive nutrition with caloric intake calculated based on IC measurement present in the GE ventilator. Patients in the estimated group will have IC performed, but these data will not be used for prescription of nutrition. An equal number of beds within the ICU will be allocated to the measured group and the estimated group. The primary objective is to assess whether the utilization of indirect calorimetry for caloric goal calculation results in improvement in muscular structure, and consequent reduction of mechanical ventilation duration in patients with sepsis in comparison to utilizing the Penn State estimation equation for caloric goal calculation. The secondary objective is to assess whether the utilization of indirect calorimetry for caloric goal calculation results in improved adequacy of nutritional delivery in comparison to the adequacy of nutritional delivered when utilizing the Penn State estimation equation. Adult patients (> 18 years of age) admitted to the hospital with diagnosis of sepsis, and who require mechanical ventilation during hospitalization will be considered. Patients newly ventilated for at least one day but less than three days will be included in the study. Informed consent will be obtained from the legal authorized representative (LAR).
