Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to determine to what extent provision with RUTF will promote catch up growth in children following an acute uncomplicated episode of P. falciparum malaria.
The purpose of this study is to identify how adult men respond to a weight loss diet that includes pork and eggs and increasing the number of meals consumed throughout the day. This is a 13-week study (12-weeks of weight loss and 1-week of baseline measurement).
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention designed to reduce weight and diabetes risk in a population of individuals with mental illness who are also taking antipsychotic medications. We will examine the effectiveness of the intervention in 1. reducing weight and Body Mass Index; 2. reducing fasting insulin levels and increasing insulin sensitivity; and 3. reducing total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
The primary objective is to compare inflammatory, hormonal, and metabolic changes in the very short term after various bariatric surgical procedures (Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Adjustable Gastric Banding)and other abdominal surgeries, as well as to compare these changes to diet-induced changes in the same population.
This trial is conducted in North America. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential of liraglutide to maintain long term weight loss in obese non-diabetic subjects, as well as in overweight subjects who have medical problems such as hypertension (high blood pressure) or dyslipidaemia (an abnormal amount of lipids in the blood). Trial has following trial periods: A 12-week run-in period (from week -12 to week 0) followed by a 56-week main trial period (weeks 0-56) and a 12-week follow-up period (weeks 56-68).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of weight loss and exercise on liver and muscle fat.
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial. The goal is to show whether the administration of daily oral Phentermine will augment patient weight loss and resolve obesity associated comorbidities following gastric band operation.
Participants in both the existing and enhanced podcast groups will lose weight. The enhanced podcasting group will have a greater increase in weight loss, elaboration, self-efficacy, and perceived control than the existing podcast group.
102 late- life adults at risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, will be randomized to one of three interventions designed to improve insulin sensitivity thereby potentially preventing future progression of type 2 diabetes. The investigators predict that insulin sensitivity will improve equally following either weight loss or exercise, while there will be additive effects from combined intervention. The investigators hypothesize that weight loss will decrease intermuscular adipose tissue, intramyocellular lipid, and visceral abdominal adipose tissue.
This project is a prospective observational study that will involve the participation of 25 volunteers that qualify for having knee osteoarthritis, are going to be having gastric bypass surgery and are willing to participate in this study which is designed to last up to two years. Potential candidates will be interviewed using a standard set of questions related to the study
