Filter by:The goal of the study is to evaluate the effect of nutrition intervention on gastrointestinal symptoms, treatment discontinuation rate, nutritional parameters (e.g., dietary intake and eating habits), anthropometric measures, functional parameters, and QOL during the initiation and up-titration phase of incretin-based Anti Obesity Medications (AOM) treatment in patients with overweight/obesity. The nutrition intervention protocol will be developed based on literature review, focus groups with health care professionals, and patient interviews. A single-center pilot study will be performed at the Tel-Aviv Assuta Medical Center, among 10 patients who are about to initiate long-term weight management treatment with Wegovy© (semaglutide 2.4 mg), followed by a multi-center, parallel design open-label, RCT, which will be conducted at the Tel-Aviv Assuta Medical Center and Rabin Medical Center - Beilinson Hospital, in 120 patients who are about to initiate long-term weight management treatment with Wegovy©. The intervention group will receive nutrition guidance before AOM treatment by registered dietitian (RD) followed by nutrition and behavioral recommendations according to reported gastrointestinal symptom(s). The control group will receive the usual nutrition care for patients treated with AOM. Primary outcomes (gastrointestinal symptom assessment) and secondary outcomes (incretin-based AOM discontinuation rate, nutritional parameters, anthropometrics, functional parameters and QOL) will be evaluated by interviews, questionnaires and measurements at baseline, at the end of Wegovy© titration phase [20 weeks (T1)] and weekly during the study period (for GI symptoms assessment).
This study will test the effects of weekly injections of the glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist semaglutide on energy expenditure and metabolic parameters in a 24 week double-blind, placebo-controlled dose escalation randomized trial. After baseline testing, 52 patients will be randomly assigned to the semaglutide or matching placebo injection group. In addition to taking medication or placebo, all participants will a calorie restricted diet provided by the researchers, providing 600 kcals per day below their estimated baseline requirements. Before and at the end of treatment, weight status, body composition, basal metabolic rate (BEE), 24h energy expenditure, daily total energy expenditure (TEE) for free living, physical activity, energy intake (questionnaire and food table), and hormone parameters for energy homeostasis will be evaluated.
The purpose of this research study is to understand the long-term effects of the drug phentermine on weight, blood pressure, other health outcomes, and safety. Phentermine has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight management since 1959, but it has not been approved for long-term use (i.e., treatment lasting more than 12 weeks). This trial is designed to learn about the long-term effects of phentermine for up to 2 years because obesity is a chronic disease and expert guidelines recommend long-term use of anti-obesity medications as one treatment option.
Overweight and obesity due to food that exceeds the requirements is an increasingly common global problem. Lifestyle intervention and anorectic drugs result in minimal weight loss, which tends to be easily regained. In addition, drugs tend to have too many side effects and have had to be withdrawn from management schemes and even from the market. Disulfiram (Antabuse®️) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration against chronic alcohol addiction. In a mouse study, disulfiram prevented body weight gain and negated the adverse impact of an obesogenic diet on insulin; used properly it is a safe drug. Carrying out a testing-concept study with disulfiram will allow the establishment of guidelines on clinical studies focused on its use as an adjunct in the reduction and control of body weight.
The purpose of this study to understand better how this anti-obesity medication works to assist individuals to lose weight and maintain weight loss. This study may lead to the development of other related medications for assisting people with the disease of obesity.
• The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine infusion intraoperative on lung mechanics and oxygenation regarding PaO2/Fraction of inspired oxygen), Intraoperative oxygenation, lung compliance (static and dynamic), dead space, and PaCO2,heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cancer surgeries
This is a randomized, open, controlled and single-site clinical trail to investigate the effect and safety of Benaglutide or Metformin in patients with simple obesity who have inadequate weight control.
This study evaluates the dosage of perioperative cefuroxime for obese patients. Dosage was increased if the BMI was over 30kg/m*m and as well over 50kg/m*m. Drug levels were measured in blood and tissue.
