Filter by:Objective of this study are: 1) To determine if medication help extreme preterm infants to tolerate feeding better by reaching full feeding earlier.2) Out of two medication; which one is better for efficacy 1) Erythromycin 2) Metoclopramide. Infants who meet inclusion criteria would be entered to study after parental consent. Infant would be blinded to care givers. Infants will be randomized to receive one of three medication for 7-14 days. If infants fail on one medication they will be allowed to crossover to other medication. Infant would be allowed to treat like other infants. Blindness can be broken if deem necessary by attending neonatologist.
This trial is conducted in North America. The aim of the trial is to investigate the effect of liraglutide in obese subjects with sleep apnoea.
The purpose of this study is to determine energy expenditure and sleep in response to protein/carbohydrate and fat ratio of the diet over a short-term and long-term period of time.
Walnuts as a whole food contain polyunsaturated fatty acids, anti-oxidants, and other nutrients essential to sperm development and function. This randomized controlled trial sought to determine if a Western style diet supplemented with walnuts would improve sperm quality as a predictor of male fertility.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a treat-to-range automated insulin management system using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and subcutaneous insulin pump infusion in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
The main goal of this study is to determine the association between: - the quantity of mother's milk and duration of breastfeeding - the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids and iron during hospitalization and the development of preterm infants born with a GA < 32 weeks.
The primary study objective is to investigate the potential chronic beneficial effect of polyphenolics derived from strawberry on impaired insulin signaling in insulin resistant individuals through their ability to modulate oxidative- and inflammatory-markers that lead to devastating disease, including, but not limited to, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Gut microbiota ecology is altered in obesity and could link obesity and its complications. Bariatric surgery enables a major and sustained weight loss therefore improving obesity related disease. the investigators primary aim is to evaluate gut microbiota adaptation to weight loss and the specific role of energetic restriction. Furthermore we aim to compare gut flora of obese patients post bariatric surgery to that of lean healthy volunteers. Thus, the investigators plan to compare gut microbiota from 140 obese individuals before and after either restrictive (gastric banding) procedures or gastric bypass procedures to that of 40 lean healthy volunteers at baseline.
The purpose of this study is to compare ways of giving advice and providing support to improve diet and physical activity in adult primary care patients with elevated body mass index and dysglycemia.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy has been shown to significantly reduce weight and has been approved as a treatment of morbid obesity. The standard laparoscopic operation requires five small incisions for the introduction of instruments and the band into the patient's abdomen. The investigators have developed a technique for performing this operation through a single incision at the belly button. This study compares this method to the conventional 5-incision approach.
