Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to understand the mechanism of weight loss for weight loss procedures: that is Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Endoscopic sleeve Gastroplasty.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether intermittent use of continuous glucose monitor will facilitate weight loss in individuals who are overweight/obese with prediabetes.
Obesity in America has risen to epidemic levels over the past 20 years. For women, childbearing itself could be a contributing factor to this high prevalence of excess weight. In addition, for women who breastfeed, lactation is a time of rapid bone loss due to hyperprolactinemia, amenorrhea, and increased bone turnover, especially in the lumbar spine and hip. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months, continue to at least 12 months with the introduction of complementary foods and up to 2 years. Breastfeeding helps reduce long term maternal weight retention from pregnancy, the risk of childhood obesity and provides a number of immunological factors to promote the immune system and gastrointestinal system of the neonate. Bone loss due to lactation is usually reversed with weaning; however, not all women recover from this bone loss which increases the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Weight bearing exercise and dairy intake (milk, yogurt, cheese) plus vitamin D supplementation may provide some protection from bone loss. Thus, the objective of this study is to promote long-term lifestyle changes that support healthy lifelong weight management through a community based exercise intervention and daily yogurt consumption program aimed at overweight- to- obese lactating postpartum women.
The purpose of the proposed study is to pilot a 6-month, cognitive-behavioral binge eating intervention, Appetite Awareness Training (AAT) to reduce binge eating and prevent weight gain for Black women with a BMI > 25 kg/m^2 and with weekly binge eating episodes. Intervention participants will receive a 8-week group AAT intervention, and will also receive bluetooth-connected scales for daily weighing. Participants will also receive tailored feedback on self-weighing frequency and weight change. The investigators will follow-up with participants at six months.
The objective of this clinical investigational study is to compare the acoustic respiration rates (RRa) obtained using the INVSENSOR0004 sensor in the subjects up to 10 kg with the respiration rates determined by manual annotations (RRref), and when applicable with capnography respiration rate (RRcap).
The study will enroll 5 individuals post-stroke to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with body weight supported treadmill training.
The investigators aim to ascertain how food reward signals and eating behaviour relates to the gut-brain pathway in weight-losing patients after curative surgery for oesophageal cancer, and how this pathway responds to clinical treatment for this unintentional weight loss. The primary outcomes are the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal on functional MRI (fMRI), and the breakpoint during the progressive ratio task (PRT - a measure of eating behaviour), how these differ in response to multiple clinical treatment options, as well as how they relate to weight gain while on treatment.
To determine whether DW-MRI is applicable in the evaluation of post-operative collections, and whether utilization of DW-MRI can enhance application of percutaneous drainage and prevent unnecessary drainage.
Prospective randomized study of patients with infertility candidates to Assisted ReproductiveTechniques (ART), screened for all inclusion and exclusion criteria, submitted to ART cycle with or without low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) administration. Aims of the study are to evaluate, primarily, pregnancy rate/embryo transfer, secondarily take home babies/embryo transfer, implantation rate, and the role of thrombophilic factors
Determine the effects of an 8-week weight loss intervention.
