Filter by:This was a study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity or overweight. The main purpose was to learn more about how tirzepatide maintained body weight loss. The study had two phases: a lead-in phase in which all participants took tirzepatide and a treatment phase in which participants either continued tirzepatide or switched to placebo. The study lasted about 2 years (25 visits).
Obesity, in addition to causing abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, is also associated with altered plasma concentrations of multiple amino acids, including increased levels of branched-chain amino acids and decreased levels of glycine. The mechanisms and consequences of obesity- related glycine deficiency are unknown. The overall aim of this project is to comprehensively study glycine metabolic pathways in morbid obesity using stable-isotope tracer techniques in human subjects and validating kinetic findings using a cell model of oxidative stress. This will be a single-centre, observational study. 21 individuals with morbid obesity scheduled for bariatric surgery and 21 non-obese controls will be recruit. They will undergo different study visits and procedures and the human biological materials collected will be analysed for as per aims of the studies. We believe that the glycine metabolic pathways, possibly through the optimization of gluthathione (GSH) synthesis, may provide targets to develop novel therapeutic agents.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created fear, financial difficulties and interruptions in the lives of patients and healthcare providers. As a result, many patients suffering from chronic conditions such as obesity have had their treatment disrupted by the pandemic. The Bariatric Medical Weight Management Clinic at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton transitioned its weight loss and maintenance counselling classes to a remote (online) platform in response to the pandemic. The remote weight loss and maintenance classes allows patients to continue receiving treatment for obesity from their homes. The remote weight loss and maintenance program is conducted on a safe platform that has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by St. Joseph's Privacy Committees. The aim of this study is to learn whether the remote weight loss and maintenance classes can lead to similar weight loss compared to the in-person weight loss and maintenance classes that were offered to patients before the COVID-19 pandemic. This study also aims to gather feedback about the program to improve its delivery and patients' experiences.
The incidence of obesity parturient has been increasing worldwide. There was a report revealing one third of pregnant women in United state considered obesity. Obesity is associated with increased in maternal and neonatal complications. Also, there was an increasing in the rate of cesarean delivery. Anesthetic management of the obese parturient is differ from non-obese parturients. There were higher risk of difficult intubation, failed intubation, pulmonary aspiration and difficult regional anesthesia such as spinal anesthesia or epidural catheter placement comparing with non-obese parturient. The aim of the study is to report complication associated with anesthesia in obese patients undergoing cesarean delivery in Single University hospital, Bangkok, THAILAND.
This is a study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity. The purpose of this study is to learn more about how tirzepatide maintains body weight or adds to weight loss after an intensive lifestyle modification program. The study will last about 2 years (29 visits).
This is a study of tirzepatide in participants with type 2 diabetes who have obesity or are overweight. The main purpose is to learn more about how tirzepatide affects body weight. The study will last 79 weeks (22 visits).
To determine the post-prandial metabolic response and biomarker response, following the consumption of newly developed low glycaemic index (GI) snack bars. The snack bars are formulated with different combinations and ratios of ingredients and food structures. The low sugar products maintaining glucose homeostasis and preventing metabolic problems may have commercial potential as a novel functional ingredient in a variety of fields, including nutrition, medicine, and agriculture.
This study will determine the glycaemic and insulinaemic response and sensory profile of the drinks with various ratios sucrose:isomaltulose. The information will be useful for manufacturers of beverages to produce blood glucose friendlier drinks. The information will also be useful for dieticians and clinicians in recommending foods and drinks for people with diabetes. The information will also be useful to the public for making better food choices. The data will also provide insights on how the different ratios of sweeteners may affect glycaemic and insulinaemic indices (GI and II).
Investigators will in a crossover study test the health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast, isocaloric carbohydrate-rich breakfast or no breakfast in young overweight women. Determination of satiety and hunger using visual analog scores (VAS), collection of blood samples and 2x 24 hours food logs will be collected.
It is planned to investigate whether obesity affects the recovery profile after anesthesia in pediatric patients. To evaluate recovery profile, time to spontaneous ventilation (the time between anesthetic discontinuation and beginning of spontaneous ventilation), LMA removal time (the time between anesthetic discontinuation and LMA removal), open eyes (the time between anesthetic discontinuation and eye opening in response to verbal stimulus or painful pinching), and PACU discharge will be also noted.
