Filter by:Although the use of wetting solutions during high-volume liposuction is a standard approach, it is unclear how to optimize wetting solutions and components and their effect on postoperative complications.. Since the super-wet technique (aspiration of 1 cc per 1 cc of infiltrate) was introduced in 1986, it has become one of the most frequently applied techniques worldwide . Adrenaline and lidocaine are often added to WS due to their hemostatic and analgesic effects One of the major advantages of super-wet technique is that blood loss is quite low. However, potential cardiovascular side effects of WS and the amounts of epinephrine and lidocaine they contain, such as volume overload, local anesthetic toxicity, hypertension, arrhythmia, and tachycardia, are still a scoop of investigation. In this study, we examined the WS and the medications it contains from a different perspective to understand the possible cause of these adverse outcomes. Despite the most suitable candidates for liposuction are patients with a BMI<30 kg/m2 and low comorbidity and age, the patient group undergoing liposuction is often obese, and overweight individuals require that obesity-related pathophysiological changes be taken into consideration. Therefore, we analyzed the patients by dividing them into two groups according to the amount of WS applied according to their IBW (WS/IBW≤90ml/kg: group I and WS/IBW>90ml/kg: group I). In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of wetting solutions and components calculated according to ideal body weight (IBW) on postoperative complications
The study will evaluate the impact of the Active Nutrition 60-day program from USANA on weight loss and related measures, such as body composition, physical appearance/body shape, perceived wellness, and biochemical markers of health (e.g., blood lipids, glucose, insulin).
This research project seeks to learn more about how lifestyle interventions can help liver and kidney transplant recipients achieve weight loss goals. The investigators want to evaluate if an intervention using weight and activity wrist monitors, as well as nutritional coaching group sessions is acceptable and useful for post-transplant patients aiming for weight loss. All participants will be given a wrist activity monitor, and a scale. Half of participants will be invited to participate in the nutritional coaching group sessions. The research team will look at weight loss, devices' usage, and satisfaction, and see if there are any difference among the two groups.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a single session of at-home bodyweight interval exercise, performed in the fasted or fed state, on postprandial glycemic management, post-exercise fat oxidation, and overall perceptions of appetite in recreationally active females. This is a remote/online study and does not involve any visits to the laboratory.
In this project, investigators plan to conduct a randomized control trial of a weight loss intervention that is remotely delivered via SNS among the obese adult patients (20-64 years old, BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2) recruited from weight control clinic in a tertiary medical center in Taipei. Investigators will survey the participants' baseline characteristics at different dimensions including personal, behavioral, physiological, socio-environmental factors. Participants will be randomly assigned to a 16-week weight loss program of either enhanced intervention via Facebook group or standard intervention. After the intervention, the participants will be followed until 2 years after enrollment. Investigators will measure participants' change in weight as well as change in attitude, behavior, and physiological along the follow-up periods. Investigators proposed specific study aims as following: (1) Demonstrate the characteristics of the obese patient who visiting weight-control clinics at behavioral level, physiological level, and social level. (2) Implement an enhanced weight loss intervention by using SNS with personalized feedback (3) Investigate the social influence and the interaction between participants in the social networking site (4) Test the hypothesis that, compared with a standard behavioral weight loss intervention, the enhanced intervention would result in greater weight loss and physical benefit (5) Test the hypothesis that, the enhanced intervention would result in improvement on heath attitude, literacy, or behavior and minimize the attrition of weight loss program (6) Explore the trajectory of individual characteristics throughout the treatment course (7) Explore the predictor or correlate of successful weight loss, maintenance and attrition (8) Investigate the interrelationship between different behavioral, physiological, and environmental factors and their composite effect on weight loss (9) Refine the intervention and develop a further effective and individualized behavior intervention for weight loss
An observational cross-sectional study will be conducted on 90 female students (right dominant) aged 19-26 years at Jazan University, they will have 40 points or more on Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS) and will be divided into three groups (30 students for each): Group I (BMI<25kg/m2), Group II (BMI 25-30kg/m2), and Group III (BMI >30 kg/m2). Pain pressure thresholds were measured using a pressure gauge algometer (PGA) over trigger points in the neck muscles.
Severe obesity is associated with considerable reduction of wellbeing and life expectancy. People living with severe obesity tend to die 8 to 10 years earlier. Preoperative management of patients living with severe obesity can be challenging and proper weight-loss may help obtain better outcomes and less morbidity. The effectiveness of GLP-1 analogue Liraglutide in preoperative weight-loss was evaluated in the study.
The proposed study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of using ready-to-use parenteral nutrition, specifically Numeta G13E, compared to individualized parenteral nutrition in neonates with very low birth weight. Conducted in a level 4 neonatal intensive care unit from March 2017 to March 2023, the study focuses on growth parameters (weight, head circumference, height), growth velocity, and the incidence of complications. The retrospective open-cohort observational design involves a sample of 284 infants, 142 in each group, considering a 95% confidence level and 80% power. The study addresses the need for a local evaluation of the efficacy of ready-to-use parenteral nutrition in this vulnerable population.
Purpose: Proximal femur fracture is a major traumatic injury in elderly populations; however, practical postoperative weight-bearing protocols are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate whether early weight-bearing status after proximal femur nail fixation is associated with any loss of reduction and evaluate the clinical outcomes of this intervention. Patients and methods: For this prospective single center clinical trial study, we recruited 14 proximal femur fracture cases, classified by AO/OTA 2018, receiving intramedullary nail fixation. Clinical outcomes included the Harris functional hip score and VAS pain score. Additionally, demographic data, radiological parameters, time to weight-bearing, mortality rate, medical and surgical complications, and final ambulation status were recorded.
The goal of this experiment is to examine the effects of three different types of front-of-package warning labels for sugar-sweetened beverages on perceived weight stigmatization, as well as the effect of making such labels more weight-neutral. The main questions this experiment aims to answer are: - Are certain types of front-of-package warning labels perceived as more stigmatizing than others? - Are more weight-neutral versions of front-of-package warning labels perceived as less stigmatizing than their regular versions? - Is there a trade-off between label effectiveness in discouraging product consumption and perceived weight stigmatization? Additionally, this experiment also aims to answer the following questions: - Does exposure to certain types of front-of-package warning labels lead to changes in participants' weight bias? - Are changes in participants' weight bias as a result of label exposure mediated by attribution of personal responsibility for body weight, pathogen disgust, or perceived social consensus?
