Filter by:There is pre-existing evidence that probiotics could be useful in the improvement of ileus rates. One metaanalysis of 30 studies demonstrated a reduction in the prevalence of post-operative ileus as determined by time to flatus, time to defecation, as well as postoperative abdominal distension (PMID:37373843). More broadly in gastrointestinal surgery, a meta-analysis of 21 randomised controlled trials similarly affirmed the speedier recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery when probiotics were administered (PMID: 35231076). In spite of these advantages, the routine use of probiotics perioperatively for colorectal cancer surgery is not performed in Singapore. We therefore seek to perform a trial to investigate whether probiotic administration perioperatively may reduce post operative ileus rates.
The goal of this 8-week clinical trial is to learn whether the PortionSize Ed mobile app helps to improve healthy eating habits among early adolescents in the Hawai'i-Food and Lifeskills for Youth (HI-FLY) program. PortionSize Ed is a dietary assessment and nutrition education mobile app, that provides real-time feedback on adherence to tailored dietary recommendations. HI-FLY is a healthy lifestyle program delivered in schools throughout Hawaii. PortionSize Ed also contains educational videos. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to either the HI-FLY only group (HI-FLY), where they will receive the standard HI-FLY program or to the HI-FLY + PortionSize Ed app (HI-FLY + PSEd) group where they will receive the standard HI-FLY program and a study iPhone with the PortionSize Ed app for the 8-week study. This will allow us to evaluate the effect of the PortionSize Ed app among early adolescents in HI-FLY.
The study objective is to develop an accessible home food environment assessment toolkit that includes valid and reliable paper and electronic tools targeting foods known to impact diet-related health that can be user-administered across literacy levels in English and Spanish.
This is a pilot study in 10 men to test the hypothesis that perturbations in substrate flux and the circulating metabolic and pro-inflammatory milieus during a high-fat diet paradigm will modulate DNA methylation of genes in sperm associated with obesity and cardiometabolic dysfunction.
This research was planned to prevent secondary hyperlipidemia, which may occur due to isotretinoin used in the treatment of severe acne, with diet. There will be three different groups and followed for 12 weeks. Groups will be; Mediterranean Diet, Low Cholesterol Diet (<200 mg/day) and the Control Group.
The overall research objective of this proposal is to determine the acute and chronic impact of daily supplementation of a Good Health beverage on indices of physiological and neurocognitive health.
The goal of this trial is to examine the effects of a single high-fat meal with or without the co-ingestion of dietary nitrate on exercise-mediated sympatholysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the mechanisms responsible for reduced exercise-mediated sympatholysis following a high-fat meal 2. Can dietary nitrate prevent the declines in exercise-mediated sympatholysis Participants will be asked to complete three study visits in a randomized order: 1. Low-fat meal 2. High-fat meal 3. High-fat meal plus dietary nitrate Exercise-mediated sympatholysis will be measured using Doppler ultrasound via a protocol involving rhythmic handgrip exercise and a lower body negative pressure stimulus. Sympatholysis will be assessed before each meal, and at 1, 2, and 3 hours post-prandial.
The goal of this study is to determine the appropriate target of medically tailored meals (a particular individual vs. the entire household) and means of delivery (a dedicated delivery driver vs. a commercial shipper), to inform subsequent medically tailored meal trials.
The role of diet in determining glucose intolerance and its progression towards T2DM has been extensively investigated. A 2017 meta-analysis showed that a vegetarian diet is inversely associated with the risk of developing diabetes. Vegetarians, with the same baseline risk, are half as likely to develop T2DM than those following an omnivorous diet. Therefore, vegetarian nutrition could have important clinical implications in the dietary management of diabetic patients.
The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of different standardized dietary patterns on general health markers, intestinal function, immune response and affective processes/ cognitive skills in healthy subjects.
