Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the impact of price decreases based on energy content in a full-service restaurant on immediate dietary consumption (in terms of kilocalories (kcals), sugar, fat, and salt intake) and dietary consumption the rest of the day following the intervention; and whether the intervention effects differ based on socioeconomic position (SEP). Participants will be asked to visit the restaurant twice. At visit 1, participants will receive a control study menu with the existing pricing structure of the restaurant. At visit 2, participants will receive the same study menu with the pricing intervention introduced. For comparative purposes a smaller subgroup of participants will receive the control menu at both visit 1 and 2 to allow the researchers to estimate whether any pre-post changes occur in the absence of a pricing intervention (and whether change differs by SEP).
The study's primary objective is to evaluate the acute and chronic (3 weeks) effects of two respiratory training protocols in obese adolescents (performed during a period of hospitalization for a body weight reduction program), with different characteristics and mechanisms of action, on GH and IGF-I secretion. The definition of the protocols is based on what has been observed by recent studies conducted on healthy people (Wuthrich et al., 2015; Schaer et al., 2018) and on patient populations in which respiratory dysfunction is a primary or secondary component of the pathology (Calcaterra et al., 2014; Pomidori et al., 2009). All planned interventions are safe and are adapted to the obese patient. Project objectives are: - assessment of GH-IGF-I responses (baseline), during the first training session of the respiratory muscles conducted in the first days of hospitalization of the patients in the clinic - assessment of GH-IGF-I responses (post), during the last training session of the respiratory muscles conducted at the end of the three weeks of each training session
Two different groups of healthy volunteers will be chronically treated with GLP-1 drugs PF-07081532 or alternatively Semaglutide. The effect of these GLP-1 drugs on a single dose of the common sedative medication midazolam blood levels will be measured. The effect of chronic PF-07081532 on single doses of the common stomach acid medication omeprazole, and common birth control medication blood levels will also be measured. The hypothesis is that chronic administration of the GLP-1 drugs will minimally affect blood levels from these common medications.
Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue. Obesity in childhood is associated with many complications, including high blood pressure, type II diabetes mellitus, abnormal blood lipid values, obstructive sleep apnea, development of fatty liver, anxiety and depression. Addressing pediatric obesity is important not only to avoid these comorbidities in childhood, but also to mitigate long-term negative health outcomes, as overweight and obese youth are likely to remain overweight or obese into adulthood. There are published guidelines, however, there is not a successful standardized approach to the management of this problem. The most studied approach to pediatric obesity is multidisciplinary, high-resource weight management programs that are unable to be conducted in the primary care setting, and the prevalence of pediatric obesity continues to increase. The purpose of this study is to create, implement and evaluate a standardized protocol for the management of pediatric obesity in a low-resource primary care setting, using age-specific educational materials and every 2-week follow-up visits focused on achieving progress toward healthy lifestyle goals. The primary outcome will be the change in subject body mass index (BMI) percentile over 24 weeks of visits to the primary care doctor at a pediatric clinic.
The purpose of this study is to find out if PF-07081532 ("the active study drug"), is safe and helps treat people with obesity without diabetes to lose weight, and people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar in good control. Individuals diagnosed with diabetes that are on metformin or individuals with obesity without diabetes will be included in the study. Those participating in the diabetes part of the study, will receive either active study drug, placebo, or an approved treatment called Rybelsus. Those in the obesity part of the study, will receive either active study drug or placebo. The study will last for about 36 weeks except for the first 25% of the participants that enter in which case the study will last for approximately 48 weeks. during this time there will be visits every 4 weeks with phone calls in between.
This is a longitudinal observational study on patients with gastrointestinal and related disease. The study will be conducted for at least 10 years, following each participant over time, as they either go through relapses and remissions, or progression of their disease.
To evaluate the role of metformin in pregnant women with obesity (BMI above 30) , on maternal and infant outcome.
A three month meal replacement dietary system which combines meal replacements and self-prepared meals which hypothetically will result in Diabetes remission in >30% of intervention subjects To assess the efficacy of which patients with Type 2 Diabetes (non insulin dependent) can be brought into a optimal A1C remission state without the use of medications by achieving clinically significant weight loss (>20-30 pounds) using a proprietary meal replacement system associated with a 3-month intensive lifestyle program.
As part of National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program, the goal of the RADxUP study is to develop, test, and evaluate a rapid, scalable capacity building project to enhance COVID-19 testing in three regional community health centers (CHCs) in San Diego County, California. In collaboration with CHC partners, their consortium organization, Health Quality Partners (HQP), investigators are pursuing the following Specific Aims: 1) Compare the effectiveness of automated calls vs text messaging for uptake of COVID-19 testing among asymptomatic adult patients with select medical conditions and those 65 years of age and older receiving care at participating CHCs. Secondarily, investigators will invite all study participants to receive flu vaccination and will assess feasibility and acceptability of study participants to refer adult family household members who are essential workers for COVID-19 testing. 2) Gather patient, provider, CHC leadership, and community stakeholder insights to establish best practices for future scale-up of COVID-19 testing sustainability and vaccination.
This trial is to assess the feasibility of a larger, definitive RCT and determine the clinical effectiveness of an NHS 1:1 programme versus a modified programme with a low carbohydrate dietary intervention (as per Feinman and colleagues classification) with telehealth, physical activity and enhanced behaviour change on specified health outcomes amongst post-partum women living with obesity
