Filter by:This study is an observational longitudinal study involving the use of MRIs and video recordings taken at home of patients completing basic tasks. Once consent is obtained, subjects will be asked to schedule an appointment with radiology to undergo the listed MRIs of the heart and/or muscle. Subjects will also be given instructions on how to use the video recording app on their personal devices, or study provided device. The subjects will be followed regularly over the course of two years, submitting video recordings of their movements and reporting to Mayo Clinic for MRIs as scheduled.
The aim of the present study is to compare Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) between normal fat diet (NFD) as a control vs high fat diet (HFD) as a treatment in Mitochondrial cytopathies disorders ( MID's ) patients. Secondary objectives is to compare diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) and body composition between NFD vs HFD. This study is a randomized cross-over study. Normal fat diet (ie 10 % proteins, 45 % lipids, 45 % carbohydrates) is the imposed diet at baseline, high fat diet (ie 10 % proteins, 30 % lipids, 60 % carbohydrates is used according to the cross-over design trial. Main evaluation criteria is REE and second evaluation criteria is DIT both measured by indirect calorimetry ). 36 included MID subjects will be included in this study. Main evaluation criteria and second evaluation criteria will be measured at baseline, 1 month, 2 month and 3 month.
The aim of this study is to assess nutritional intake (quantitatively and qualitatively), nutritional state and body composition of patients suffering from mitochondrial cytopathy, compared to healthy controls. The energy intake will be calculated through dietary protocols, the energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry and body composition will be performed with bio-impedance analysis. Further on, the investigators expect to be able to provide nutritional counselling to this population in order to increase energy and protein intake, which may improve health and well-being.
