Filter by:The goal of this study is to test whether the mobile application (app.) helps adolescents make healthy food choices, decreasing calories purchased from restaurants, fewer number of visits to restaurants, and if it has an impact on their body mass index (BMI). Eligible adolescents will be enrolled in the study along with a parent for approximately 6 months.
This prospective, randomized, comparative study is intended to enroll a total of 148 patients with a BMI 30-49.9 kg/m2 undergoing surgery at Parkland Hospital. The efficacy and performance of a second-generation LMA will be compared to endotracheal intubation. A standardized anesthetic protocol that is usual and customary for the type of operation the patient is having will be provided to the anesthesia teams of enrolled subjects. The remainder of the anesthetic care of the subject will not deviate from the standard of care.
the present study aimed to follow up our participants in order to consider the changes in weight and anthropometric measurements after the 12-month weight maintenance as well as the total of 18 months, consisting of the previously described 24 weeks active weight loss and a further 53 weeks weight maintenance. The secondary outcome was to compare the abdominal adiposity, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism during these periods.
This study aims to determine whether the use of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) regulate insulin and glucagon secretion, and whether the supplement has any effect on body weight and body composition. Subjects who participate in this study will receive an 8-week supply of supplement. The study supplements will be manufactured by Scientific Living, in Irvine, CA for high dose BCAA and the low dose BCAA is manufactured by Nutribiotic, Lakeport, CA. Timed blood collections will be used to measure how BCAA affect glucose metabolism/insulin sensitivity in human subjects.
The weight reduction obtained after a first bariatric surgery would improve the vascular (correction of endothelial dysfunction, improvement of arterial wall compliance and evolution of the atherothrombotic process) and microcirculatory function in obese patients with type-2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to find out why people do or do not eat vegetables.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of a novel home-based high-intensity interval training (Home-HIT) intervention in obese individuals, with elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. It was hypothesised that Home-HIT would 1) have high adherence to the prescribed exercise intensity (compliance), 2) improve markers of CVD risk, and 3) lead to favourable skeletal muscle adaptations.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of overnight fasting versus a diurnal fasting (during daily life activities) in females with and without obesity on inflammation, neurotrophins, energy metabolism, mood, food cravings, and appetite sensations. This study will be an acute fasting intervention.
A randomized controlled trial for the efficacy of contingency management to encourage smoking cessation and weight loss.
This study will help us learn more about how what a child eats can affect how their brain works.
