Filter by:Protocol Number: VNI/121/TrimRox: A unique stimulant- and sugar-free TRCAP21 Prodosomed® nutraceutical formulation, TrimROXTM, has been developed in a cGMP and NSF-certified manufacturing facility that is CFR-111 A compliant as well as having a BRC A rating, ensuring compliance with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). The investigators developed a stimulant- and sugar-free TRCAP21 Prodosomed® nutraceutical technology that effectively addresses directly and indirectly all the contributing factors. The investigators will conduct a 90-day study investigation in 100 study participants to assess the efficacy of TRCAP21 on diverse anthropometric aspects including chest, upper arms, waist/belly, hips and thighs, body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and overall health and well-being.
To understand the user perceptions of AI and non-AI-based mobile apps for weight management in people with overweight and obesity.
This optimization trial will examine three tracking (or "self-monitoring") strategies for weight loss -- tracking dietary intake, steps, and/or body weight -- all delivered through digital health tools. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the combination of these strategies that maximizes 6-month weight loss in the context of a standalone digital health intervention for adults with overweight or obesity. The investigators will recruit 176 total participants to the trial. Recruitment will occur through remote channels. Interested individuals will be directed to an online screening questionnaire; those who are eligible will then be invited to attend an initial remote session with study personnel to ensure interest and eligibility in the study. The weight loss intervention will last 6 months, and all participants will receive a "core" treatment consisting of goal setting, behavioral lessons, action plans, and tailored feedback - all of which will be delivered remotely. Depending on which group participants are assigned to in the study, some individuals will be asked to track their dietary intake, their steps, and/or their body weight via digital tools. All study tasks will occur remotely, thus, participants never need to come in-person for any intervention or assessment tasks. The investigators will use the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework to identify the most effective combination of self-monitoring strategies. The factorial design will allow the research team to determine the unique and combined impact of each self-monitoring component on weight change. The primary outcome is weight change from baseline to 6 months. The research team will also assess self-monitoring engagement over 6 months and its association with weight change. To complement the main trial, the research team will also randomize half of participants to receive an interactive orientation video, in order to assess its impact on trial retention at 6 months. Overall, the information gathered from this trial will enable the construction of an optimized digital health intervention for weight loss that can be delivered remotely, which, if found to be effective, could have high potential for scalability.
Project ReLearn is testing the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an Artificial Intelligence system for optimizing weight loss coaching. Participants are randomized to a 1-year weekly gold standard behavioral weight loss remote (video) group treatment or the AI-optimized treatment, which is made up of a combination of remote group treatment, short video call and automated message. In the AI-optimized condition, the system monitors outcomes (via wireless scale, mobile phone app, and wristworn tracker) and, each week, assigns each participant the treatments they have responding to the best, within certain time constraints.
The baseline infusion rate during surgery for pediatric patients still is the 'Holliday and Segar' rule (also known as the 4/2/1 rule) The question arises if this rule is not outdated, since it was calculated based on the caloric need of the pediatric population, calculated for cow milk. The study tends to validate the use of bio impedance measurements for registering fluid shifts in the pediatric surgical patients.
Introduction: The influence of tea or coffee supplementation on body weight in adolescents has never been tested. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of tea and coffee consumption on body weight and body fat in an obese adolescent population. Methods: Randomized clinical trial, parallel group study comparing 3 weight loss interventions comprised of a similar dietary recommendation with either coffee (coffee group), tea (tea group) or placebo (herbal tea). Sociodemographic data and medical history details were retrieved from medical files. The body mass index Z (BMI Z) score and fat percentage as measured by bioelectrical impedance were compared between groups at 3 and 6 months.
This study aims to determine the relationships among loss of control eating, restriction, relative reinforcing value of high energy-dense food, and obesity risk. In order to achieve this aim, the investigators will follow children over the course of a year, obtaining behavioral and observational measurements, in addition to a two-week restricted access and two week non-restricted access period.
The objective of this study is to evaluate (1) the effect of a non-restrictive satiating intervention on appetite control, body weight loss and maintenance; and (2) determine whether switching to a non-restrictive satiating intervention following a conventional restrictive intervention can prevent increases in appetite and attenuate body weight regain usually observed after weight loss in men and women living with obesity. This is an 18-month, randomized, controlled, parallel weight loss [Phase 1 (P1): 6 months] and maintenance trial [Phase 2 (P2): 12 months] with three groups (n=234 men and women): (1) non-restrictive, satiating intervention (P1) followed by a continuation of this intervention (P2); (2) conventional restrictive intervention (-500 kcal/d) (P1) followed by a non-restrictive satiating intervention (P2); (3) control group that follows minimal healthy guidelines (P1) followed by recommended weight maintenance strategies (P2). All groups will be controlled for physical activity and sleep patterns. The non-restrictive satiating intervention will include guidelines and recipes to prepare highly satiating meals that will be low in energy density and glycemic index and high in protein, polyunsaturated fats, vitamins and minerals (e.g. calcium), and certain constituents of spices (e.g. capsaicin). Measurements at baseline (week 0), after P1 and P2 will include the following primary outcomes: appetite control, weight loss and maintenance; and secondary outcomes: body composition, physiological, psycho and neurobehavioural and health-related variables. Follow-ups will be done by a dietitian every 2 weeks during P1 and once a month during P2.
This study aims at identifying the neurohormonal biomarkers that characterize individuals at risk of greater metabolic adaptation to weight loss, a disproportionate decline in resting metabolic rate during and after weight loss.
Thyroid hormones play an important role in the regulation of the body's metabolism. But the relationship between thyroid hormone status and the basal metabolism rate is not absolute. Because thyroid hormone function is not the only factor of control the metabolism and it can be influenced by various factors such as physical activity and diet. Weight change after thyroidectomy is one of the concerns for thyroid cancer patients. The evidence on the bodyweight changes following thyroidectomy has not been established well. Being overweight and obese can increase the risk of developing many potential health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and malignant disease. Recently, digital health care technology has been developed and applied for medical purposes in many clinical practices. Digital Lifestyle Management is one of the strategies that can be helpful for the obese to control their body weight by lifestyle modification. It provides comprehensive, multifactorial, intensive interventions which are delivered via the digital health care mobile service Noom application. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of digital lifestyle management on body weight and quality of life after total thyroidectomy in thyroid cancer patients by using the digital health care Noom application.
