Filter by:This study is to compare the safety and efficacy of UCMSCs and BMMSCs administered intravenously in patients to evaluate cytokine suppression in patients with chronic inflammation. Cells administered via intravenous infusion (IV) and will be tested in 37 patients in two phases (Pilot and Randomized).
This clinical study is designed to evaluate the providing of a computational prediction engine for optimization of personalized nutrition Personalized recommendations for effective diet, lifestyle and activities based on the patient's parameters measurements and reactions will be provided on a bi-weekly basis, all Lab tests and dietician control will be performed twice a month.
The hypothesis of this study is that reductions in body weight could improve inspiratory muscle function attenuating the inspiratory metaboreflex in metabolically healthy obese individuals and obese individuals with metabolic syndrome.
Building on the findings from the investigators previous study, COMIT I, the purpose of the COMIT II study is to supplement the DEXA measurement of body composition with a supplementary DEXA measurement of visceral adipose tissue and to specifically target the impact of oleic acid consumption on body composition as the primary objective. COMIT II also will include analysis of fatty acid ethanolamines (FAEs) and their precursors to elucidate the mechanisms by which canola oil may be modifying body composition, measurement of endothelial function, inflammatory, adiposity and insulin sensitivity biomarkers, and genetic analyses.
Basic treatment of type 2 diabetes should focus on diet, physical activity and lifestyle. Nevertheless, in early and late stage of T2DM, lifestyle intervention is mostly substituted by pharmacological intervention, although lifestyle modification and dietary treatment would be favourable. The researchers therefore investigate dietary strategies such as low-carb and very-low calory diets regarding their potential to improve metabolism and body weight in (mostly) long-term T2DM patients. This core comparison is dealt with in the DiNA-D study (published elsewhere). POLYPHEM targets specific dietary approach to preserve the achieved metabolic improvements from DiNA-D phase 1. Nutritional factors will be PUFAs and BCAAs.
A growing number of cross-sectional studies is investigated the role of the human lipidome as a new biomarker for metabolic diseases. However, data on this issue is still sparse and especially interventional data is not available up to now. "GesundLeben" will provide data on 100 human subjects with metabolic syndrome, undergoing distinct types of lifestyle intervention for 6 weeks. Standardized metabolic assessment will be covered with routine laboratory parameters and oral glucose tolerance test as well as non-radiologic anthropometric measurements.
Original research article entitled Induced and Controlled Dietary Ketosis as a Regulator of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome by Madeline Gibas for consideration for publication in a clinical journal. This research manuscript builds on previous landmark studies that report that major weight and fat mass loss in type II (T2D) patients who were fed a very low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet. In this manuscript, the investigators outline our research study that showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) changes over time in hemoglobin A1c, weight, BMI, body fat percentage and ketones for patients with metabolic syndrome who were fed a very low carbohydrate diet, ketogenic diet.
The present study aimed to determine the effects of 16 weeks of aerobic interval training on quality of life and a set of clinical biomarkers.
Dyspnea is a common complaint in obese patients. The mechanisms behind this dyspnea and the effects of weight loss on dyspnea are not completely understood. The objectives of this study were to examine the relationships between exercise parameters and dyspnea in obesity and assess the effects of weight loss. The investigators compared pulmonary function, exercise performance and dyspnea in 34 patients with abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) against 34 age and sex-matched controls. The study also assessed within-group changes in physiology and symptoms in a subset of patients following participation in a weight management program. Because obesity is a heterogeneous condition, with variable genetic associations, co-morbidities and distributions of adipose tissue, the study focused on patients with abdominal obesity who met diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome.
This is a multi-centre, double-blind, randomized phase III trial comparing metformin to placebo in patients with advanced prostate cancer starting (or have recently started) androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
