Filter by:This study aims to assess whether an integrated continuum of care from the preconception period, across maternity until the first 18 months of life, can promote maternal metabolic and mental health, as well as offspring health, among overweight and obese women.
The latest international research shows that supplementation of hydrogen molecules as an aid, adjuvant, can speed up the course of the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and possible efficacy of hydrogen supplements in different dose exposures for a clinical study in rheumatologic and metabolic patients. Patients will receive a different dosage of hydrogen capsules with their conventional treatment for a month. Investigators will test for any changes in haematologic, urine analysis and health status during and following the exposure period.
This clinical study will investigate Jejunal Microbiota in Metabolic Diseases (Je-MiMe, n=45) and Colonic mucosa-associated Microbiota in Metabolic Diseases (Col-MiMe, n=45). Each cohort (Je and Col -MiMe) is composed of three groups: participants with obesity (n=15) with obesity and with type II diabetes (n=15). This research protocol is organized in two parts. Each part of this study will recruit 45 participants that are only recruited in one of the parts of the protocol (JE-MIME or COL-MIME). Thus, in total, the study will include 90 patients. Each part of this study is composed of 3 groups: 1) "Control Group ", 2) Obese group (Ob), 3) Obese and Type 2 Diabetes group (ObD). Control groups for part I (JE-MIME) and part 2 (COL-MIME) are composed of different participants. Each group is composed of 15 human adult volunteers for the JE-MIME study (part 1) and 15 participants for the COL-MIME study (part 2). Total number of participants is 45 for part 1, and 45 for part 2. Total number for this project is 90. Microbiota wil be collected during an endoscopy or coloscopy which is planned as routine care for the patients. Primary objectives are to characterize jejunal (JE-MIME, Part I of the study) and colonic mucosa-associated microbiota (COLMIME, Part II of the study) and compare both microbiota to faecal microbiota (evaluate differences and similarities between jejunal microbiota or mucus-associated microbiota and faecal microbiota). Secondary objectives are to 1) Correlate microbiota with metabolic health and inflammatory markers; 2) Correlate microbiota with lifestyle and neuropsychological health. Both the jejunal microbiota and mucus-associated microbiota are strong integrators of nutritional environment and intestinal health status, respectively, compared to the fecal microbiota. This study will help to better understand the physiopathology of metabolic diseases. This research could lead to finding specific microbiota members, either from the jejunal compartment or from the inner mucus layer, crucial for the promotion / protection of chronic intestinal inflammation and associated metabolic health.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of vestibular rehabilitation on metabolic aspects when evaluated by means of bioelectrical impedenzometry analysis, smart watch device and actigraphy in a group of vestibular hypofunction patients previously studied by means of video head impulse test, posturography and clinical validated scales
This pilot study is a randomized control trial to test the effects of a 14-week home-based virtual, interactive high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise intervention on cardiometabolic and cognitive outcomes in sedentary youth with overweight/obesity during adolescence. All participants (N=24) will complete screening via phone to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive a) 14 weeks of a home-based HIIT intervention delivered via iPad or b) 14 weeks of a stretching intervention (control group). Each participant will undergo an in-lab pre- and post-test visit, where they will complete a fasting blood draw, a fitness test, and various cognitive and mental health measures.
Assessement of basic metabolic profile and adipokine levels in young hyperandrogenemic females.
Bariatric surgery is well established method of treating patients with obesity. Obesity is well-documented risk factor for many health conditions including some cancer, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases and type-2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery is associated with improved comorbidities, quality of life and survival in severe obesity. However, the rate of conversion or revisional bariatric surgeries is increasing nowadays. Recent date estimate the rate of revisional procedures between 8-25% of all bariatric surgeries performed worldwide. Weight recidivism or fail to achieve a significant weight loss (estimated 10-20% of operated patients) remains a challenge for surgeons and patients. This has economic and health implications, leading to reduction in quality of life and increased prevalence of obesity-related comorbid conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identified patients with failure after primary bariatric procedure in population of Poland.
To compare the effects of different initial insulin dose regimens during the short-term insulin intensive treatment on time to glycemic goal, hypoglycemia prevalence, glycemic variability and other safety problems in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients, in order to investigate the rational of formula based initiation regimen.
This study aims to test the following hypotheses in a randomized controlled trial of post-partum women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) that will be followed up for up to 4 years: 1. Post-partum pregnancy is ideal for behavioural modification and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Using the continous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor and an exercise tracker will promote self-motivation and awareness by positive reinforcement and behavioural changes to improve diet, control body weight and increase physical activity in this group of post-partum women who are at high risk for developing Type II Diabetes. 2. The use of the continous glycose monitoring (CGM) sensor and exercise tracker will motivate women to modify their dietary food intake and physical activity over time, reducing their cardiovascular risk factors for developing metabolic syndrome by lowering their baseline blood pressure, BMI, reducing their waist circumference and body fat mass, glycaemic levels and fasting lipids within the targeted healthy range. 3. There will be an increase in the quality adjusted life years (QALYs) gained based on improvements in HbA1C and other proximal outcomes at the end of the trial.
High body fat at midlife, as evidenced by overweight or obese body mass index (BMI), is increasingly understood as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, the underlying processes and mechanisms that may underlie this risk remains unknown. With this project, the Investigator proposes to create a new cohort of cognitively normal 120 midlife individuals, age 40-60 years. The investigator and research staff will characterize the participant's overweight or obese status using metabolic tests including, an oral glucose tolerance test, fasting plasma insulin, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c measurements. This testing will generate categories of metabolically abnormal overweight and obese (MAOO), metabolically normal overweight and obese (MNOO), and metabolically normal lean participants (MNLP). Research staff will evaluate differences between these groups on neuroimaging with the newer classification framework of Alzheimer's biomarkers with amyloid (A), tau (T), and neurodegeneration (N), or ATN. Neurodegeneration will be assessed by atrophy on brain MRI as reflected by regional volumes on Freesurfer. Staff will also evaluate MR neuroimaging markers for neuroinflammation using a newer method called diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI), developed at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis in collaboration with The Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (Knight ADRC).
