Filter by:The purpose of this research is to determine the blood signals that promote health and well-being in response to exercise at different intensities.
The primary objective of MEDEA is to compare the effect of a personalised telephone-based health education weight loss program based on motivational coaching, exercise and diet versus a standard health educational program control on fatigue of overweight or obese BC patients (as measured by the EORTC QLQ C30 (Aaronson et al. 1993; Sprangers et al. 1996))
The overall aim of this research is to investigate the acute effects of resistance exercise (REx) on the hormonal and behavioral indices of energy balance regulation in breast cancer survivors. This pilot study is designed to provide preliminary data to support future exercise interventions with more comprehensive energy balance profiling.
The investigators will aim to determine the association of mood disorders (MDO) with preclinical and clinical cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors among children. The investigators will also aim to identify traditional and non traditional predictors of CVD risk among children with MDO.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, if any, exercise and a plant-based diet have on aromatase levels in postmenopausal women who are overweight and being treated with an aromatase inhibitor for their HR+ breast cancer. The study will also look at other ways diet and exercise may affect your body (for example, changing the way your breast tissue expresses or makes genes) and your quality of life.
According to statistics from the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO), taking into account the definition of overweight and obesity recommended by the International Obesity Task Fort (IOTF), the prevalence of overweight (including obesity) in European children aged 7 to 17 years is 16-22% and the prevalence of obesity is 4-6%. Some review studies3 and meta-analysis4,5 have reported an inverse relationship between dairy products consumption and the prevalence or incidence of overweight and obesity. However, some methodological issues arise from these analyses. For instance, the combination of studies with different exposures (e.g. full fat milk, total milk) in the total dairy product analysis. Moreover, since the publication of the lasts meta-analysis in 2016, new epidemiological studies evaluating the association between dairy product consumption and overweight or obesity risk have been published. Objective The aim of this work is to systematically review and assess the associations between total dairy consumption and its different subtypes with the prevalence and incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
To determine the effectiveness of a 7-day course of an oral, prophylactic antibiotic on the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection and wound complications following primary total hip and knee arthroplasty in a high-risk patient population.
Obesity treatment interventions have been studied in pediatric primary care offices and are often conducted in low-income and minority populations, and pediatric obesity clinics. Key components of programs that have been shown to be effective include parent engagement providing physical activity, nutrition and behavior education and at least 26 hours of total contact time. However, there is little guidance in the literature describing translation of successful programs into sustainable, real-world practice for uninsured children and families. To the investigator's knowledge no studies in the United States have evaluated the feasibility of implementing a fitness and nutrition program in safety net clinics where uninsured parents and their children receive health care. The objectives of this project were to design an evidence-based, family-centered fitness and nutrition program and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing this program in a Volunteer in Medicine Clinic, discussing successes, challenges and lessons learned.
A study to address the effects of early-day fasting on fat tissue mobilization in comparison to a typical isocaloric Mediterranean and a low-carbohydrate breakfast.
A key tenet of this project is that of reaching translational human diagnosis and biomarker end points. To lay a foundation and make progress towards these translational goals, investigators will address the following specific aim: To determine if BMI/ obesity differentially influence expression and epigenetic signatures in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) from Hispanic compared to NHW women.
