Filter by:This study aims to measure skeletal muscle metabolism in vivo during exercise using the non-invasive Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) technique. Specifically, phosphocreatine (PCr) kinetic and Acetylcarnitine levels will be determined at resting, during exercise and during the recovery post exercise. The target population is adult healthy men, with a wide range of maximal physical capacity.
The study is testing a new medicine for weight control in people with overweight or obesity. The aim of the study is to find out how safe the study medicine is and how it works in the body. Participants will either get NNC9204-1706 (the new study medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. NNC9204-1706 is a new medicine which cannot be prescribed by doctors. Participants will get an injection under the skin of participants' stomach each morning for 10 weeks. A medical tool called NovoPen®4 will be used for the injection. Participants must change the part of the pen including the medicine (the cartridge) each day. The study will last for about 16 weeks. Participants will have at least 17 clinic visits and 10 phone calls with the study doctor. At certain times during the study, participants will have blood drawn and 3 different kinds of heart tests (electrocardiograms). Study doctor will ask participants to answer mental health surveys.
This study compares food insecurity disclosure rates in face-to-face interviews versus electronic formats, and explores caregiver preferences regarding screening modality and location, in a large, urban pediatric emergency department. Half of the participants were screened for food insecurity verbally, face-to-face by a research assistant, and half of the participants were screened electronically by a tablet.
The study compares nutritional status of two groups elderly patient aged 65 and more. One group of the patients received nutritional support (Nutridrink Multi Fibre) for 14 days. Nutritional status of the patients were compared 2 months after the start of the intervention.
In Denmark the dieticians can be organized centrally and called upon if needed, or locally in larger units, or very locally related to bed-units. The organization form is based on tradition not on measurements of quality. We wanted to compare the very local form with the traditional centralized. Methods: Randomized, unblinded, parallel design. The intervention group (IT) was nutritionally handled by the dietician, and the control group (C) by the nurses as previously with the possibility for dietetic help from the center.
The study is investigating new medicines for weight control in people with high body weight. The study looks at how the study medicines work in the body. Participants will get semaglutide and either NNC0165-1562 or "dummy" medicine -which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will get 2 injections per week for 5 months. A study nurse at the clinic will inject the medicine with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach. The study will last for about 7 months. Participants will have 27 visits to the clinic.
This pilot study will estimate the unique and additive benefits of two parent-training programs (Cooking Matters for Parents and Promoting Routines of Exploration and Play during Mealtime) offered in undeserved communities.
This study will look at the change in participant's body weight from the start to the end of the study. This is to compare the effect on body weight in people taking semaglutide (a new medicine) and people taking "dummy" medicine. In addition to taking the medicine, the participant will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how to be more physically active and what a participant can do to lose weight. The participant will get semaglutide for the first 20 weeks. Then the participant will get either semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment the participant gets after the 20 weeks is decided by chance. The participants will need to take 1 injection once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study will last for about 1.5 years.
This study will look at the change in participants' body weight from the start to the end of the study. The weight loss in participants taking semaglutide (a new medicine) will be compared to the weight loss of participants taking "dummy" medicine. In addition to taking the medicine, participants will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how to be more physically active and what you can do to lose weight. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment participants get, is decided by chance. Participants will need to take 1 injection once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study has two phases: A main phase and an extension phase.The main phase will last for about 1.5 years. Participants will have 15 clinic visits and 10 phone calls with the study doctor. Extension phase: Approximately 300 participants will continue in the extension phase in the following countries only: Canada, Germany, the UK and selected sites in the US and Japan. These participants will be in the study for about 2.5 years.They will not receive treatment, but will attend another 5 follow-up visits with the study doctor.
The purpose of this early Phase 2 comparison trial is to evaluate the impact of community health worker (CHW) home visitors on pregnant women and their children in a rural setting in the rural Eastern Cape of South Africa. The intervention provided by the CHWs targets underweight children, mothers living with HIV (MLH), mothers using alcohol, and depressed mothers with the goal of supporting pregnant women to improve birth outcomes, decrease the number of children born with a low birthweight, and develop child caretaking skills over time. UCLA has identified and matched four areas surrounding primary health care clinics: two intervention areas in which this CHW program has been running for one year, and two control areas without the program. Mothers in the research area are followed for one year after giving birth.
