Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare a less invasive breath test against the current standard for assessing gastric (stomach) emptying. The current standard of care is a procedure called Nuclear Scintigraphy of a Solid Meal (NSSM). This study will compare this method to a Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT).
This is a single arm phase II study designed to determine the effects of pharmacotherapy and a remote behavioral weight loss intervention on weight loss in breast cancer survivors who are overweight or obese, and the impact of successful weight loss on serum biomarkers and gut microbiome.
The purpose of this registry study is to collect data through medical chart review and in patient visits on the efficacy and safety of various Endoscopic Bariatric therapies (EBTs). This is a retrospective and prospective, observational, medical chart review study for at least 6 standard of care visits up to 5 years after a subject consents for study participation.
To assess the evaluation of TCI378 and TCI507 probiotics on weight-lowering efficacy in adults
The intervention being studied is a 12-week nutrition and physical activity intervention, delivered using videoconference technology by registered dietitian clinicians to maintain weight loss and functional gains in older adults who successfully completed a weight loss intervention. The "Legacy Intervention" will include cognitive behavioral strategies (e.g., goal setting, self-monitoring, and social support), and draw upon a toolbox of e-approaches, including daily and weekly text reminders, virtual exercise classes, virtual individual and group nutrition classes, and step tracking device.
The investigators are using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) model to develop a lifestyle intervention targeting weight loss that is specifically tailored to women in perimenopause.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of an acceptance-based therapy weight loss intervention compared with enhanced care for adolescents.
Participants will be randomized into two groups, one group will be the control (no intervention at all) and the other will be CHO-PRO (meal replacement, Generation UCAN supplement, 400ml, 20% solution). Prior to the start of the experiment, all participants will be asked to record their satiety ratings, appetite and desire to eat (10-point visual analogue scale) 30, 60 and 120 minutes after their regular dinner for 3 days. On the first day of the experiment, all participants will be asked to measure their waist and hip circumferences, fasting blood glucose level, maximal number of pushups and body weight using a scale at home prior to breakfast. Instructions on how to do the measurements properly will be recorded in a video and distributed to the participants. Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention. Participants in the CHO-PRO group will be provided with the supplement and they will be asked to consume the CHO - protein supplement (Generation UCAN supplement, 250ml, 10% solution) 6 to 7 hours after lunch, in place of their dinner for 6 weeks. They will also be asked to record their satiety ratings, appetite and desire to eat (10-point visual analogue scale) 30, 60 and 120 minutes after each meal replacement drink. All participants will be required to complete a dietary record, prior to, and during (at weeks 2 and 4) intervention. To track adherence of the CHO-PRO group, participants will be asked to check off the calendar that they did not consume the meal replacement due to various reasons. On day 43, all participants will be asked measure again waist and hip circumferences, fasting blood glucose level, maximal number of pushups and body weight using a scale at home prior to breakfast again.
There is limited research on the amount of calories burned and metabolic differences of a complete supplemental meal in comparison to a whole food meal. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in calories burned and metabolic response post-consumption of a meal consisting of whole foods compared to its nutritionally engineered equivalent. Investigators hypothesize that energy expenditure and satiety will be greater following consumption of the whole food meal compared to the supplement meal, whereas, there will be no difference in levels of glucose between the two conditions.
This early phase I trial studies how well a behavioral weight loss intervention consisting of a smartphone application and coaching works for the promotion of weight loss in adolescents and young adults after a stem cell transplant. This study may help researchers learn more about how adolescents and young adults can lose weight and develop healthy eating habits.
