Filter by:This study aims to collect information on rheumatology patients' dietary habits, autoimmune disease activity, dietary changes, disease symptom improvements, and perceptions on their dietary habits and how it affects their autoimmune disease. The main objective is to see if rheumatology patients change their dietary habits after their diagnosis of an autoimmune disease and if it subjectively improved their disease symptoms. It will also look at rheumatology patients' expectations for their rheumatologist when it comes to dietary advice and what resources they used to choose their new dietary habits. The study also seeks to measure the interest that rheumatology patients have in pursuing dietary changes as a means of controlling the symptoms of their autoimmune disease. It is expected that patients who changed their eating habits to healthier diets such as a Mediterranean diet would report less severe autoimmune disease symptoms. There are limited dietary recommendations for the management of many rheumatological diseases, so this study seeks to assess rheumatology patients' willingness to try dietary modifications, what improvements they had, and why they decide to make these changes in light of limited information.
There are currently no studies evaluating the association between diet and the incidence of endometrial polyps. We aim to evaluate the association to provide more recommendations for the early prevention of endometrial polyps.
This study is designed to test the effects of diet data return on human dietary patterns. The investigators' working hypothesis is that returning diet data, collected via an empirical biomarker-based assessment method, will promote participant eating behavior changes towards a more healthful diet, and that these dietary patterns may also be reflected in the structure and function of the gut microbiome and in participant health outcomes. Here, the investigators will explore this hypothesis with participants supplying stool (poop) samples that will be used to assess their diet using the investigators' DNA-biomarker based method. Participants will have their diet data returned to them, and will then supply post-intervention stool samples for dietary assessment to investigate the efficacy of diet data return in impacting subject dietary patterns and health. It is anticipated that the investigators will enroll infants, children, and adults across the age span, including infants that are currently participating in Project HOPE 1000, a longitudinal observational study of mothers and infants from pregnancy through early childhood (Pro00100000). This study represents a minimal risk to subjects; namely, the potential loss of privacy involved with study participation.
To date, no study has shown the effects of diets (normoglucidic or ketogenic) on type I diabetes during physical activity (hiking, ski touring) at altitude. The ketogenic diet in the general population is increasingly studied scientifically, but no clinical trial has studied it in type I diabetic patients during physical activity at altitude. Similarly, no study has investigated the effects of this diet on ketone and blood glucose levels in athletes during physical activity at altitude. Therefore, its impact on blood glucose and ketone levels during exercise at altitude is unknown in healthy and type I diabetic subjects. Since the investigators are studying ketonemia at altitude, and since ketonemia depends on insulin and carbohydrate intake, it is necessary to also study a control group with the same diet, in order to analyse whether the results obtained at altitude are related to the diet alone or to the diet in the context of diabetes. In order to avoid certain biases and confounding factors, the type I diabetic group will be compared to a control group of healthy subjects, in which the subjects have the same diet as the diabetic group. This is a pioneering study, of significant interest because the ketogenic diet is recent and rapidly increasing in interest in diabetic patients, with no scientific data for mountain physical activity. Doctors, diabetologists and sports doctors, are still without data to advise their diabetic patients who wish to follow a ketogenic diet on the benefits/risks of this diet, or to explain to them how to react to physical activity in the mountains.
Preeclampsia (PE) is an important pregnancy complication and cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The underlying etiology and pathophysiology of preeclampsia is incompletely understood but it involves dysfunctional cytotrophoblastic invasion, placental ischemia, and release of inflammatory and endothelial mediators. Placenta dysfunction in PE is related to angiogenic balance. Currently, therapeutic options for the prevention and treatment of PE are limited. It is known that the risk of PE is reduced by low-dose aspirin. Therefore, the influence of salicylates on the development of PE seems to need to be investigated. This project plans to examine the preventive effects of food sources of salicylic acid and compare their effects with aspirin. Therefore, the aim of the present study is thus answer the following questions. whether the maternal dietary intake of salicylates is related to placental angiogenesis; 2. whether naturally occurring salicylates have the same effects on preeclampsia development and placental angiogenesis as aspirin. To answer these questions we plan to carry out a human study with pregnant women. Due to the above the planned research aims to determine the association between maternal dietary intake of salicylates and placental angiogenesis and the risk of preeclampsia development. Although PE remains an incurable disease, the results of this project will enable the development of dietary recommendations for the prevention and treatment of preeclampsia. Moreover, the results of this study may be useful in lowering the cost of maternal and fetal complications from preeclampsia and the cost of their hospitalization.
The overall aim of the study is to monitor the effects of the increased iodine fortification level implemented in 2019 on iodine intake from the diet (incl. dietary supplements) and the excretion of iodine in urine in children aged 2-10 years.
The proposed pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) will enroll 24 Black adults. The overall goal is to examine the preliminary efficacy of iSIPsmarter in a 2 group [iSIPsmarter vs. static Patient Education (PE) website] by 4 assessment (Pre, 3-, 6- and 18-month follow-up) design. The generated pilot data will allow us to better understand efficacy and engagement outcomes among Black participants. We anticipate trends that iSIPsmarter will be more efficacious at reducing SSB consumption than a PE website at post assessment.
Intact whole grains (such as quinoa, buckwheat, and barley) contain all 3 parts of the kernel (bran, germ, and endosperm) compared to processed grains where the bran and germ layers have been removed. Intact whole grains have a higher nutritional value but are under consumed in the diet of most adults. In this proposed pilot study, 42 participants will be recruited to study the impact of convenience on intake of intact whole grains by comparing consumption of intact whole grains that are offered in a convenient pre-cooked ready-to-eat form compared to traditional bulk dried form that requires a more prolonged preparation and cooking time. The ready-to-eat meals will be processed using WSU microwave technologies to ensure food safety. All intact whole grains (ready-to-eat or dried) will be provided to participants, who will prepare and consume the grains at home over a period of 4 weeks. Type and volume of whole grain consumed will be monitored daily via REDCap survey, which will allow the investigators to see if adults are more likely to meet daily recommended intakes of whole grain servings when offered in a convenient form.
The main risk factors for dental caries are inadequate oral hygiene practices, cariogenic bacteria, and cariogenic diet. Among these factors, diet has a different dual relationship with dental caries. Dietary habits have the potential to be a risk factor for dental caries impaired oral and dental health can also lead to deficiencies in dietary intake. Studies have shown that there is a decrease in gum and periodontal diseases in the adult age group with a diet compatible with the Mediterranean diet. This cross-sectional study aims to examine the relationship between a diet compatible with the Mediterranean Diet and dental caries and gum health status in children. We hypothesize that children will have better gum health and less tooth decay with a diet compatible with the Mediterranean diet.
SAFE-LCD study is a randomised controlled trial aiming to develop and evaluate a safe, cost-effective, easily accessible, digital Low-Calorie Diet (LCD) programme for insulin-treated adults with Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a world-first innovation. The study plans to enrol 72 participants who will be randomly allocated to either receive the intervention or will be provided with weight loss advice suitable for insulin-treated patients through accessing the NHS 12-week weight loss plan. The intervention arm will follow Oviva Diabetes Remission Insulin (ODR-I) programme which includes expert dietitian coaching, support of a Diabetes Nurse, the Oviva app (with a 12-month weight prediction chart), a Capilar Blood Glucose (CBG) meters (for enhanced safety in view of concerns re hypo- and hyper-glycaemia), and BodyTrace weight scales. If successful, this project will provide game-changing evidence for the support of insulin-treated T2D patients and for NHS commissioning of the digital Low-Calorie programme driving patient benefits and cost-savings.
