Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to see if obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with abnormalities in fat metabolism. Through this research study, the Investigator will evaluate how fat is metabolized in people with and without sleep apnea, what substances the fat tissue releases, and how these substances might change the way the body uses energy and sugar.
The excess of localized fat causes changes in the body contour and consequently changes in the properties of the skin and in the connective tissue, providing sagging skin. Tecartherapy known as High Frequency Capacitive and Resistive Electrical Transfer Therapy (Tecartherapy) emerged to contribute to the treatment of these aesthetic affections, it is a non-invasive electrothermal therapy that acts on cell biostimulation through tissue heating and can help to reduce fat localized and improve the aspect of flaccidity, through the stimulation of neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis. This is the aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of Tecartherapy on localized fat and abdominal skin flaccidity with clinical and histological results. The sample will have 61 participants, who will be evaluated pre and post treatment through evaluation protocols, photographs and questionnaires. The research will have two treatment groups. Being Group 1: Tecartherapy and Group 2: placebo (equipment turned off). 10 Tecartherapy sessions will be held once a week in the abdominal region and flanks. The parameters used will be: for an area of 300cm², 1MHz, Capacitive Mode: 60mm Disk, Default 100W, Time of 10 minutes, keeping temperature up to 42ºC, Resistive Mode: 60mm Disk: Default 110W, Time of 10 minutes, keeping temperature up to 42ºC, with a total treatment time of 20 minutes for the 300cm² area. After treatment, a biopsy of the subcutaneous tissue and skin will be performed in a volunteer, the tissue will be collected during the surgical procedure of abdominoplasty for histological analysis. The reassessment will be carried out three times, being 30, 60 and 90 days after the initial session, with the repetition of all mentioned exams and photos for analysis of the results, of all participants.
This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the BTL-899 device for changes in subcutaneous fat tissue and muscle tissue of arms. The study is a prospective multi-center open-label single-arm study. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into a single study group. Subjects will be required to complete four (4) treatment visits and two follow-up visits. All of the study subjects will receive the treatment with the subject device.

This study evaluates the treatment of subjects with the eon™ FR 1064 nm device in a single session to thermally induce apoptosis in adipose tissue.
The purpose is to determine in a case-control study if an association exist between bone marrow adiposity and fragility fractures in post-menopausal women.
This study is a clinical study to investigate the efficacy of liraglutide compared to placebo in reducing visceral adiposity measured by MRI in overweight or obese subjects at high risk for cardiovascular disease after 40 weeks on-treatment.
Prospective, one-arm, baseline-controlled, clinical study for the evaluation of the SlimShape device for non-invasive abdominal fat and circumference reduction. Study subjects will undergo SlimShape treatments on the abdominal area.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a non-invasive cooling device to determine if cold exposure will consistently result in a reduction of subcutaneous fat.
