Filter by:Lipedema is a disease characterized by bilateral abnormal fat deposition in the upper and lower extremities. Pain is a common symptom in lipedema.Vitamin D plays an important role in chronic pain. Vitamin B have analgesic role in some neuropathic pain conditions.This study aimedto evaluate the relationship between vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels and neuropathic pain in lipedema.
Veganism and vegetarianism have clear benefits where they have a lower risk of many health issues. However, they also have a higher risk of nutrients and vitamin deficiency such as iron and vitamin B12. Iron can be found in plant-based food but in varying quantities, whereas vitamin B12 is mainly found in red meat, thus vegans and vegetarians can only take this vitamin in supplements such as tablets. In this study, the investigators are testing two interventions, the consumption of recipes with a certain iron amount to increase iron levels, and the consumption of vitamin B12 biofortified plants to increase serum B12 levels in vegan and vegetarian participants.
Nitrous oxide has become an increasingly popular recreational drug amongst young people, particularly at festivals, nightclubs and parties. Considering the drug is not illegal to possess, has low cost in the form of 'whippets' and can be easily purchased online, it has become the second most commonly used recreational drug amongst people aged 16-24 in the UK. However, nitrous oxide is known to irreversibly inactivate the functioning of vitamin B12, a vitamin required for the maintenance and proper functioning of nerves in the spinal cord. Neurological symptoms in this population have been reported in around 3.4% of nitrous oxide users, although the true incidence is expected to be higher as the cases being reported by UK hospitals continues to rise. Patients may present with adverse neurological symptoms like tingling, weakness, coordination and mobility problems. Currently, studies reviewing the functional recovery of these patients have been limited by a retrospective study design, short follow up duration and being limited to small cohort sizes. This is in part linked to patient non-compliance and non-attendance at follow-up appointments. The investigators will therefore prospectively recruit all patients presenting with these symptoms and continue to collect data relating to their neurological recovery for 12 months. Data collection will be remote to ensure it is of low burden to the participants. This will allow the investigating team and others to fully appraise the severity of these toxic neuropathies and understand how best to manage their follow up.
This study aims to examine the effects of Sourse's Hype Bites at being able to increase vitamin B12 levels to promote positive health outcomes. Participants will consume Hype Bites daily. Participants will also take surveys and blood samples to examine both the subjective experience of taking Hype Bites as well as changes in biomarkers across the trial.
The study consists of two arms: 1) intervention group using eggs as supplementary food given from 2nd trimester of pregnancy to birth, and 2) observational group of pregnant mothers. it aims to assess the effectiveness of improving dietary quality during pregnancy on the epigenetic and stunting related outcomes (growth and development) in infants, who will be followed up until 24 months old
