Filter by:Prospective, observational, multicenter study based on a registry of patients with obesity and associated comorbidities undergoing a standardized multidisciplinary weight loss method with a 2-year follow-up.
The investigators have previously identified knee osteoarthritis patients with the combination of depression and an unhealthy weight may be an increased risk of more rapid joint degeneration and worsening pain. The GetHealthy-OA program combines a mind-body program with the oral supplement fisetin to potentially reduce the risk for this population by treating psychosocial, mechanical, and inflammatory mechanisms of knee osteoarthritis. This randomized clinical trial will compare the GetHealthy-OA program to minimally-enhanced usual care plus an oral placebo.
To investigate the efficacy of liraglutide plus megestrol acetate in obesity patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH)
The researchers will investigate blood and fecal responses in qualified study participants after eating walnuts for 4 weeks compared to not eating walnuts for 4 weeks. The two dietary interventions will be separated by a 4 week washout period. The order of diets will be random; study participants will complete both interventions. Dietary modifications will be part of the study protocol.
This is a prospective observational study comparing venous Doppler flow in the lower extremities of pregnant women. Pregnant women with a BMI >/= 30 will be compared to those with a BMI < 30.
The study objective is to collect heart rate, respiration rate and motion data of patients admitted to sleep lab and to determine the accuracy level of the EarlySense system vs. the monitors used in sleep lab (e.g., Polysomnography, respiratory belts, ECG, etc..) . Data regarding sleep condition, scoring and quality of sleep and in and out of bed status, patient turns will also be collected and compared to data collected by EarlySense contactless monitor. Different patient population will be monitored including obese, morbidly obese, patients with or without obstructive/central apnea, patients with or without arrhythmia as well as healthy population who arrive to sleep lab for general evaluation will be monitored
Obesity is associated with reduced growth hormone (GH) secretion. GH secretion is regulated by nutritional stimuli including fasting, insulin, glucose and free fatty acids. However, the role of micronutrients, such as vitamins, on GH secretion has not been investigated in much detail. Vitamin C levels are also reduced in obesity, and the investigators recently demonstrated a possible role for dietary vitamin C intake in the regulation of GH secretion in two preliminary retrospective studies. The investigators therefore propose a more detailed prospective physiological study to examine the effects of increasing dietary vitamin C intake on GH secretion in a physiologic, intervention study. The investigators hypothesize that increasing vitamin C concentrations in obese subjects with sub-optimal plasma vitamin C levels and reduced GH secretion will increase GH secretion.
The BaroSense Articulating Circular Endoscopic (ACE) Stapler is an investigational instrument indicated for endoluminal trans-oral tissue approximation and ligation in the gastrointestinal tract. This study explores the specific application of tissue apposition in dilated post-surgical gastric anatomy such as observed in a dilated Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) pouch. The primary objective of this study is to perform an evaluation of the safety of the ACE Stapler for the treatment of dilated post-surgical gastric anatomy. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the ACE Stapler for the treatment of dilated post-surgical gastric anatomy over a 12 month follow-up period.
