Filter by:This study aims to assess barriers that prevent obesity patients from receiving adequate care for their condition. The non-interventional study will be administered in the form of a 30-minute, cross-sectional, online survey to various respondents. There is no experimentation involved in the process of data collection, and each survey poses minimal human risk. The study will evaluate lifestyle habits and weight management strategies perceived and/or practiced by each of 3 stakeholders in obesity: Patients (People with obesity), Providers, and Employers. A customized survey will be administered to each of the 3 stakeholders, and data will be analyzed based on respondents' answers.
The ACTION (Awareness, Care, and Treatment In Obesity management) study aims to identify perceptions, attitudes, behaviours, and potential barriers to effective obesity care across three respondent types: 1) People with Obesity, 2) Healthcare Providers and 3) Employer Representatives in the US. Data is collected via online surveys using a cross-sectional, US-based stratified sample design.
Our overarching goal is to prove the benefit of a behavior change intervention designed to help older people overcome barriers associated with risk for inadequate nutrition, so that they can improve their nutritional intake of fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, whole grains, nuts, lean meats, poultry and fish.
The aim of this study is too determine the effect of enteral protein supplementation on biochemical measures of inflammation and protein metabolism in critically ill surgical patients. The investigators will also collect data on important clinical outcomes, including infectious complications, duration of mechanical ventilation and other measures of recovery from critical illness. Hypothesis: That early supplemental protein will increase serum concentrations of transthyretin at three weeks after the onset of illness or injury. Secondarily, the investigators will test whether supplementation, reduces infectious complications and increases ventilator-free days.
This study is aim to determine the sodium intake in Ecuadorian population that is an unknown information at present. For that, 24h urine samples will be collected from 130 subjects working either at tue USFQ or HDLV to measure sodium excretion.
The aim is to define in detail metabolic pathways at rest and during aerobic exercise in normal and healthy men and women under normobaric normoxic and moderate hypoxic conditions, using metabolomics technologies based on minimally invasive sampling relying on gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of NNC9204-1706 administered subcutaneously in male subjects being overweight or with obesity.
Acute malnutrition in pregnancy is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in mothers and their unborn children. Undernutrition during pregnancy can result in maternal complications such as life-threatening hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and infant complications such as intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, pre-term delivery and poor cognitive development. Poor women in the developing world are at heightened risk of malnutrition due to inadequate dietary intake and are subject to transmission of a number of infections including malaria, intestinal helminths, and genitourinary infections. Food interventions for malnutrition may be less effective under conditions with excessive inflammation and infection, and especially so during pregnancy. Without specifically addressing treatment for infections, undernourished mothers may be less responsive to nutritional interventions. The benefits of treating both malnutrition and common infections simultaneously remain largely unstudied. This study tests the hypothesis that malnourished pregnant women receiving 100 grams per day of a specially formulated ready-to-use supplementary food in addition to a combination of 5 anti-infective interventions will have greater weight gain in pregnancy and deliver larger, longer infants than women receiving the standard of care. The outcome of the pregnancy and maternal nutritional status will be followed until 6 months after delivery.
Cancer is a worldwide spread disease with high prevalence and incidence, often of poor prognosis because it is typically diagnosed in an advanced stage. Another reason for this prognosis is the presence of malnutrition, on the one hand because of a diminished intake (due to anorexia), and on the other hand because of tumor-induced hypercatabolism. The result is a pathological state of the body called "cachexia", generally defined as a weight loss > 5% during the last 6 months before diagnosis. It had already been demonstrated that correct nutrition in such patients can limit morbidity, while promoting progression-free survival as well as well-being. The pilot study, previously performed by the investigators, was the first to suggest that Nutrition Therapy, based on the ESPEN guidelines and resting energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry, can promote overall survival. The aim of this project is to validate these preliminary results in a larger RCT (randomized controlled double-blind trial), to promote Nutrition Therapy as a novel modality in its own right in the treatment of cancer, rather than being merely supportive.
This study aimed to evaluate the tolerance and safety of a low-protein formula in healthy full-term infants by investigating effects on growth and gastrointestinal tolerance and by identifying any adverse effects.
