Filter by:Backgroup/relevance: Overweight and obesity, defined by a respective body mass index of above 25 and 30 kg/m2, are getting increasingly common in all regions of the world. Obesity is currently estimated to be present in more than 10% of the global population while overweight roughly reached an estimate of 40% in 2016. Overweight dramatically increases the risk for a wide range of disorders such as diabetes mellitus and other metabolic and cardiovascular disorders subsumed under the term metabolic syndrome, increasing the risk for life-threatening cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Similar to other chronic diseases such as mental health disorders, prescribing medication was oftentimes insufficient and should be complemented by patient empowerment to reach sufficient treatment adherence and control of lifestyle factors. Thereby, overweight and obesity can easily be challenged by patients themselves without pharmacological intervention. Overweight may place central in the crossroad between metabolic and mental health for several reasons. Excessive body fat is known to cause subclinical inflammation that was also associated with many psychiatric disorders such as major depression. Similarly, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis relevant for stress response was shown to be dysregulated in both metabolic and mental health disorders. Study design: In this study, non-pharmacological interventions are applied in healthy women with overweight or obesity and self-perceived psychological stress. Women staying at the "la pura" women´s health resort (www.lapura.at/) are invited to partake in the study and receive a short-term intervention of calory restriction. Thereby, either F.X. Mayr or very-low-calory-diet (VLCD) will be applied, reducing calory intake to 700-800 kcal/die. Following random assigment to four treatment arms, half of the women also receive a 7-session clinical-psychological intervention consisting of biofeedback, individualized psycho-education on stress prevention and mindlessness training. Women are assessed at baseline and after two weeks of interventions for metabolic parameters such as insulin functioning, anthropometric parameters such as body weight and body fat, blood parameters such as sex hormones, fat metabolism and liver function, parameters of neuroplasticity such as brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as psychological and biological stress correlates and mental health symptom dimensions.
The current study is a randomized pilot trial to test the feasibility of a psychoeducational virtual reality experience to increase motivation for behavior change among children with overweight or obesity.
The main purpose of this study is to learn more about tirzepatide in participants with obesity disease. The study will also measure how Tirzepatide affects body weight with a low-calorie diet and increased physical activity. The study will last around 72 Weeks.
To Determine the safety and Effectiveness of Kybella for the treatment of Flank Fat (FF)
This clinical trial is the first-in-human study of NO-13065. The purpose of this phase 1 study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending oral doses and food effect of NO-13065 in healthy and obese adult subjects.
This pilot study will randomize 34 patients with hypertension and obesity to either time-restricted feeding alone or a commitment device to encourage time-restricted feeding, including a commitment pledge, involvement of a supportive partner, setting of implementation intentions, and multiple daily reminder text messages. The intervention will last 12 weeks, followed by a 6-week follow-up period. The primary outcome is adherence to the IF regimen, captured via daily text message, over 18 weeks
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is defined as a combination of obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2], chronic daytime hypercapnia (PaCO2 >45 mm Hg), and sleep-apnea in the absence of other known causes of hypercapnia. Respiratory system compliance decreases and resistance increases in OHS. This causes increase in work of breathing and oxygen cost of breathing, which may result in respiratory muscle fatigue. Increase in respiratory workload and increase in resistance to respiration is expected to decrease in respiratory muscle endurance (RME) in subjects with OHS.
Postoperative non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been proposed as an attractive strategy to reduce morbidity and improve postoperative outcomes in obese subjects undergoing general anesthesia. Bariatric patients present a peculiar negative feature; the increased body mass index (BMI) correlates with loss of perioperative functional residual capacity (FRC), expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and total lung capacity (TLC), decreased up to 50% of preoperative values. The aim of the current randomized trial is to evaluate the efficacy of NIV in post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) in reducing post-extubation acute respiratory failure and the consequent admission in intensive care units (ICU) after BIBP in obese adult patients.
To compare the efficacy and effect on glycemic control of Dulaglutide versus Liraglutide in obese Type 2 diabetic adolescents using metformin
Parents of children with obesity report feeling blamed for their children's weight and reluctant to seek pediatric care after stigmatizing experiences. This "weight stigma by association" may have direct consequences for parents, children, and the parent-child relationship. The present study builds on qualitative evidence to experimentally test weight stigma and weight stigma by association in a parent-child relationship using a large, community-based sample. In an experiment conducted via an online survey, participants were randomly assigned to view a picture of a parent-child dyad, for which parent and child's gender (male vs. female) and weight status (with obesity vs. without obesity) were manipulated. Participants read identical general parenting descriptions that adhered to American Academy of Pediatrics parenting recommendations, then rated the parent's effectiveness, helpfulness, and caring.
