Filter by:Low-income urban communities have many small food stores, but poor access to healthier foods and beverages. The investigators will develop, implement and evaluate the feasibility of a Baltimore Urban food Distribution (BUD) web-based application (app) to improve access to affordable, healthier products from local producers/wholesalers in 38 urban corner stores in low-income Baltimore neighborhoods, using a randomized controlled trial design and assess its impact on store stocking and sales. The R34 will provide a developed and tested version of the BUD app, which will resolve challenges related to affordability and delivery of healthful foods and beverages to small food stores, permit development of new instruments, assess potential impacts at the consumer level, permitting power and sample size estimates for the full-scale clinical trial, and demonstrate the investigators' ability to recruit and retain large numbers of wholesalers, producers, and corner stores in low-income urban settings.
Obesity patients are more common in recent years. They have potential difficult airway. Two different video devices are popular used in Taiwan, video larygoscope and video stylet. We compared video larygoscope (McGrath MAC) and video stylet (Trachway) during elective surgery require tracheal intubation with obesity patients. The control group is traditional laryngoscope. 325 patients would be enrolled, above 100 patient each group.
This study is a multi-center, open label, randomized controlled trial that main purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences of glucose control and weight loss between Beinaglutide and Dulaglutide in type 2 diabetes with overweight or or Obesity.
This study will explore the impact of exposure to popular media content on patients living with obesity. Findings from this study will provide new insights that will extend current understanding of exposure to media portrayal. This is a proof of principle pilot study that will evaluate the feasibility of recruitment, randomisation, assessment procedures and implementation of the intervention with the aim to facilitate the planning and the conduct of a full-scale randomised controlled trial.
Pilot study enrolling obese post HSCT (hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) patients at the hematology/oncology clinic at the Mattel Children's Hospital, University of California, Los Angeles. Parameters include percent over the 95th percentile (%BMIp95), zBMI, fasting metabolic metrics, addictive eating habits, and motivation for change.
The aim of the study is to assess impact of omentopexy on de novo gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy. This will be assess 2 years postoperatively. This study is a prospective, multicentric, randomized trial. Five hundred twenty six patients should be included with 263 in each arm. First arm will include patients who have a sleeve gastrectomy. The second arm will include patients who have sleeve gastrectomy with omentopexy. Two years after surgery , it will be collected a CARLSSON score and BAROS score (quality of life). The main objective is to show that omentopexy decreases the rate of de novo GERD after sleeve gastrectomy at 2 years postoperatively without the use of Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
A total of 1900 pregnant women in the 1st trimester and their children will be enrolled and followed for two years (ORCHID study main cohort). As part of this, mother-infant pairs will be required to attend up to 10 study visits separate from routine clinic visits, these visits include 3 antenatal visits (less than or equal to 18, 24-28 and 32-36 weeks) and 16 postnatal visits (<2 and 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months). Participants will also be asked to engage in long-term follow-up, with visits occurring every 6 months through Month 60 (at 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60 months). Measurements in mothers will include demographics and health status, HIV disease and ART use, intercurrent medical history including concomitant medication use, HIV viral load testing, ART adherence, HIV antibody testing in women without HIV; body composition, caloric intake, dysglycemia and insulin resistance (IR), lipid profiles, anthropometry, resting energy expenditure, hepatic steatosis, specimen collection (whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, placenta and breastmilk), systemic and adipose inflammation, as well as metabolites, lipid subspecies and eicosanoids. Measurements in infants will include uterine gestational age and fetal growth, as well as metabolites, lipid subspecies and eicosanoids, body composition, dysglycemia and IR, lipid profiles, anthropometry, feeding, specimen collection (cord blood, whole blood, plasma and serum) and intercurrent medical history including concomitant medication use. Additional data on maternal health in pregnancy and birth outcomes will be abstracted from medical records.
To assess changes in food intake and food preference (e.g., fat and sugar) after bariatric surgery and lifestyle intervention alone with a direct measurement.
In patients initiating Liraglutide for weight management, the objective is to compare the effect of Med diet, high protein/low carbohydrate (HP/LC) diet and low fat (LF) control diet on CV parameters, namely arterial stiffness, measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and visceral adipose tissue, in addition to other metabolic indicators.
IMPROVE is an implementation study aiming to explore the effects of two bundled implementation strategies on the intervention fidelity of the Healthy School Start program (primary outcome) while simultaneously monitoring effects on health outcomes of children and parents (secondary outcomes). Thirty schools in two municipalities will receive the HSS program reaching about 1400 families per school year, for two years.
