NCT ID: NCT06132763 Completed - Dental Caries Clinical Trials

Healthy Hydration Pilot in Elementary Schools

Start date: November 9, 2023

NCT ID: NCT05357976 Completed - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

The Effects of Body Mass Index on Thoracic Paravertebral Block Analgesia

Start date: April 25, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Obesity has become one of the world's leading health problems. It is known that obesity causes many diseases and negatively affects the quality of life. For this reason, many conditions that are thought to be effective in obesity and concern the quality of life of patients have been scientifically researched and continue to be investigated. One of them is postoperative pain. Although there are studies stating that there is no relationship between body mass index (BMI) and postoperative pain, when the literature data is examined, it is thought that obesity is a risk factor for postoperative pain and changes pain sensitivity and analgesic needs of patients. There are also studies in the literature stating that the level of postoperative pain increases in parallel with each unit increase in BMI. After thoracic surgery, many analgesic methods have been suggested, including thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), intercostal nerve blocks (ICSB), erector spina plane block (ESPB), serratus anterior plane block (SAPB). This study will compare the effects of BMI on postoperative pain in patients undergoing TPVB for postoperative analgesia and thoracoscopic surgery.

NCT ID: NCT04911712 Completed - Malnutrition Clinical Trials

The Effectiveness of a High-Protein Liquid Dietary Supplementation

Start date: March 25, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted to assess the effectiveness of high protein liquid dietary supplementation in malnourished hospitalized patients. The patients were assessed for their nutritional status based on ESPEN 2015 criteria. Patients who experienced malnutrition will be divided into 2 groups, namely the control group which was given a normal protein liquid diet, while the intervention group was given high protein liquid diet supplementation as much as 2 bottles (200 mL) per day for 7-10 days. Furthermore, the nutritional status of the patient was assessed.

NCT ID: NCT04084691 Completed - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

Capillary Glycerolemia Evolution During Physical Exercise

LSEEGLYCEROL
Start date: October 23, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Maximum fatty acid oxidation is known to occur at exercise intensities between 45 and 65% VO2max and in the fasting state. However, the optimal level may depend on various unknown factors. Glycerolemia is a good marker of the fatty acid metabolism but its evolution remains poorly described, maybe due to the difficulty of the measure. A new device allows an easy measurement of glycerolemia during exercise and could enable personalization strategies to optimize exercise efficacy. In this study, the investigators plan to test three different exercise types and three different fasting conditions with three replicates each to evaluate the variability of glycerolemia and its evolution during exercise.

NCT ID: NCT03622086 Completed - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

Foundations of Fitness Program Pilot

Start date: July 12, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Approximately 17% of US children have obesity resulting in significant childhood co-morbidities and increased lifetime risk of adult obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Guidelines recommend intensive lifestyle programs as first-line treatment, yet few pediatric practices are equipped to provide this. Clinical-community partnerships are well-positioned to address this care gap. This proposal aims to assess whether a community-delivered lifestyle program offered in adjunct to primary care obesity management is feasible, acceptable, effective, and easily implemented in a rural care setting. In this study, approximately 40 children aged 7-13 years old and their caregiver pairs will be recruited from a primary care pediatric clinic. Child-adult dyads will participate in a 24-week program that includes 2 phases, a 12-week usual care phase and a 12-week intervention phase. The intervention phase will include bi-weekly meetings of a community intensive lifestyle program which focuses on healthy diet, daily physical activity, self-esteem and support for individual and family behavior change. A mixed-methods approach using qualitative interviews and study questionnaires, combined with objective measures of adiposity and fitness will assess study outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT03452787 Completed - Body Mass Index Clinical Trials

Epigenomic and Metabolomic Signatures of APOA2 Gene by Saturated Fat Interaction

Start date: January 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Obesity is driven by genetic and environmental factors. Among the latter, diet is a most important one. The investigators refer to these combinations of genetic and dietary factors as 'gene-diet interactions.' Higher consumption of saturated fats (found mostly in foods of animal origin) has been associated with higher weight in people who were homozygotes for the minor allele at a genetic variant known as APOA2 -265 T>C (rs5082). In the current study, the investigators will seek to gain an understanding of the biological mechanisms driving this interaction. The investigators will select participants in three cohorts according to this genetic factor and conduct a series of molecular analyses (epigenetics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics). The analyses will identify epigenetic marks that are associated with saturated fat intake exclusively in subjects who carry this genetic factor. Moreover, the investigators will examine the association between epigenetic status and genotype at APOA2 and mRNA expression of the gene, and concentrations of metabolites in the blood. This study will increase the understanding of how genetics and diet act together to promote weight gain, and may eventually have implications for dietary recommendations that make use of genetic information.

NCT ID: NCT03204552 Completed - Diabetes Clinical Trials

Tzu Chi Health Study (Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Health Components)

TCHS
Start date: October 15, 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To determine the effect of diet and lifestyle, particularly vegetarian diets on chronic degenerative disease outcomes in a cohort of Taiwanese Buddhists participants

NCT ID: NCT03075488 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Ultrasound Prescan vs Conventional Landmark-guided Technique in Spinal Anesthesia in Orthopedic Obese Patients

Start date: March 31, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is aimed at evaluating whether ultrasound pre-procedural scan with Accuro may reduce needle redirections when performing spinal injection in patients with BMI = or > 30 in orthopedic surgery

NCT ID: NCT03027570 Completed - Body Image Clinical Trials

The Impact of Incorporating an Exergame Activity Application in a Treatment Regimen for Overweight Children

Start date: March 2, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

80 children aged 5-13, BMI≥85%, will be recruited to a program for the treatment of overweight children.The intervention group will use the app "Just Dance Now" and The control group will be exposed to the usual program without the app. Measurements will be performed at the beginning of the program, the end and 3 months after completion of the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT02983929 Completed - Rehabilitation Clinical Trials

Short-Term Follow-up Indicator for Total Knee Arthroplasty and Body Mass Index

Start date: January 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The main purpose of this study is to determine the influence of obesity on the short term follow-up indicators of a polyvalent geriatric rehabilitation clinic after total knee arthroplasty. It is a retrospective, comparative study The secondary purposes are to explore the links between length of stay and short-term follow-up indicators of a polyvalent geriatric rehabilitation clinic after total knee arthroplasty.
