Filter by:The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine the effect of weight loss on a wide range of biomarkers associated with risk of breast cancer recurrence in overweight and obese breast cancer survivors. We hypothesized that weight loss would result in a statistically significant improvement in biomarkers associated with risk of breast cancer recurrence.
This study is a 12-week pilot randomized controlled trial to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a home telenutrition weight loss program in men in West Virginia.
This study is being conducted in 8 rural counties in Alabama and Mississippi (4 per state). Approximately 400 overweight or obese African American women living in the selected counties will participate in a 2-year weight loss study.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of three weight management interventions (group phone conference calls, individual phone calls, and enhanced usual care) on weight across 18 months in overweight and obese adults recruited through and treated by rural primary care clinics.
This is a substudy to a randomised trial investigating the effect of liraglutide on body weight and pain in overweight or obese patients with knee osteoarthritis (NCT02905864). In the parent trial, patients will be subjected to an 8-week diet intervention phase including a low-calorie diet and dietetic counseling, after which patients will be randomised to receive either liraglutide 3 mg or liraglutide 3 mg placebo as an add-on to dietetic guidance on re-introducing regular foods and a focus on continued motivation to engage in a healthy lifestyle. This substudy aims to investigate any changes in Ultrasound (US) measures associated with the initial 8-week weight loss intervention.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of meal size and texture on the levels of incretin hormone, GLP-1, after Gastric Bypass Surgery (GBP). Patterns of food intake change after bariatric surgery and patients often eat multiple small low-calorie meals, a pattern that may affect blood glucose as well as incretin levels. Whether the release of GLP-1 after an oral challenge or a single liquid meal has any physiological relevance in 'real life' setting of multiple small meals diet is unclear.
This is a substudy to a randomised trial investigating the effect of liraglutide on body weight and pain in overweight or obese patients with knee osteoarthritis (NCT02905864). In the parent trial, patients will be subjected to an 8-week diet intervention phase including a low-calorie diet and dietetic counseling, after which. Patients will be randomised to receive either liraglutide 3 mg or liraglutide 3 mg placebo as an add-on to dietetic guidance on re-introducing regular foods and a focus on continued motivation to engage in a healthy lifestyle. This substudy aims to investigate any changes in MRI associated with the initial 8-week weight loss intervention, and the value of CT scans in predicting the effect of weight loss.
This study will help determine the appropriate type, amount and intensity of physical activity most beneficial for preventing weight regain after weight loss in older adults.
The study is an open intervention study with the aim to determine the effects of weight-loss treatment with Low-Energy liquid Diet (LED) on disease activity, quality of life and markers of the metabolic syndrome in patients with psoriatic arthritis and obesity.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of an intensive, supervised, lifestyle modification program on symptoms and signs of heart failure as well as laboratory and echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function. This will be a 6 month trial in 50 patients with a clinical diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Patients will be enrolled in the Medical University of South Carolina weight management 15 week lifestyle change program which will involve weekly visits that rotate among the clinical specialities (dietary, exercise and behavioral) and scheduled visits with the research Registered Nurse. Each patients baseline data will be used as the control and compared with the same measurements at the 6 month end point.
