Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a drug called semaglutide and to see whether it can reduce IHTG. IHTG will be measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; an MRI machine contains a powerful magnet that uses simple radio waves to take pictures of organs). Semaglutide (brand name Ozempic®) is a drug that is used to treat people who have diabetes; it also causes weight loss and may provide some protection against cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In PLWH, the use of semaglutide to reduce weight and the level of IHTG are experimental.
This is a proof of concept clinical trial to compare daily intake of at least 20 grams of whole dairy fat vs habitual diet on hepatic steatosis in children with NAFLD.
The FIND study will look at the effect of a nutritional mixed fibre supplement, oligofructose and inulin (OF+INU), on children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In this randomized, double- blind controlled trial, subjects will be given a supplement, in the form of oral pills, and will have bloodwork performed, their diets analyzed, and liver fat measured at several timepoints. Liver fat will be measured by using a specialized MRI device located at St. Joseph's Hospital. Subjects will be recruited from the Children's Exercise and Nutrition Clinic.
Our study aims to evaluate whether the Emergency Department (PS) can support the health system to improve the prevention and management of chronic inflammatory diseases and ensure actions aimed at screening, raising awareness and informing the population. Specifically, the determination of the prevalence of a widely diffused pathology such as fatty liver disease aims to be the precursor of future pilot studies aimed at evaluating the advantages and critical issues of the PS as a prevention tool.
This study aims to investigate whether long-term use of nucleotide analogues could promote hepatic steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The degree of hepatic steatosis was observed after 3 years of antiviral treatment with nucleoside (acid) analogues for the first time to determine whether the long-term use of anti hepatitis B nucleoside (acid) analogues could promote hepatic steatosis. To explore the anti hepatitis B nucleotide analogues that can promote liver steatosis, so as to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the selection or adjustment of anti hepatitis B virus drugs in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
The Visceral Adiposity Measurement and Observation Study
For obese and normal-weight children, the investigators assess the diagnostic performance of attenuation imaging (ATI) in the detection of hepatic steatosis in children.
In recent years, portable and ultra-portable ultrasound devices are increasingly used by the non radiologists, notably cardiologists or obstetrician gynecologist, at the patient's bedside to visualize and measure anatomical structures and fluid and provide the clinical examination with additional signs allowing quicker and more confident clinical decisions. This innovative approach is slowed down by the accessibility of these miniaturized devices, the price of which remains high. The echOpen device includes an ultra-portable ultrasound probe and a mobile application that allows the image to be displayed on a smartphone via a WIFI protocol. The objective of the clinical investigation is to show that the echOpen device, using three frequencies 3.5 Mhz, 5.0 Mhz and 7.5 Mhz, allows identifying the semiological signs or anatomical structures of interest located at several depths of the body, with a performance similar to other devices routinely used in clinical departments.
This study is a randomised, controlled, unblinded, clinical intervention trial consisting of 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training. Thirty persons with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and hepatic steatosis are randomised to either aerobic exercise training (intervention group, n=15) or no intervention (control group, n=15). The study will investigate the effects of the exercise intervention on the liver and the hypothesis is that the exercise group will reduce the fat-fraction of the liver after the intervention.
The main aim of the study is to collect preliminary information on the feasibility and efficacy of a time restricted eating intervention in Spanish children and adolescents with obesity and metabolic comorbidities. Two 8-week interventions will performed in a randomized crossover controlled design: a) reduction of the habitual eating window; b) standard care. Different measurements of body composition and cardiometabolic health markers will be performed along those weeks.
