Filter by:The aim of the study is to set up and validate a reliable and reproducible automated method using preoperative radiological imaging to measure the TSBL in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric/metabolic surgery.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if a new study drug, NNC0487-0111, is safe and how it works in the participant's body, when given as injections under the skin
We aim to determine the effect of combined isocaloric time restricted eating and meal timing on metabolic health, liver fat, functional brain networks, inflammation, and sleep pattern/quality in subjects with obesity and insulin resistance.
This study aims to determine the relationship between lipid kinetics changes and blood immunosuppressive cells by metabolic surgery in two patient cohorts.
Obesity with its consequences such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea and cancers, remains a major healthcare problem worldwide. Bariatric surgery, combined with nutritional education and close monitoring, has been shown to be the most effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity resulting in significant and lasting weight loss and improvements in co-morbidities . With nearly 50000 procedures per year France ranks third in the world in terms of care for patients suffering from morbid (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²) and severe (BMI 35-40 kg/m²) obesity. In parallel with the significant increase in the number of patients operated on for obesity in the world, over the past two decades, significant development has been observed in the field of bariatric surgery with a decrease or even disappearance of some procedures and the appearance of others. Performed for more than 40 years, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure and currently is considered as gold standard procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity and its comorbidities. However, despite the good effectiveness (with an average Excess Weight Loss % (EWL%) of approximatively 70% at 2 years), RYGB is technically demanding procedure with learning curve requiring more than 100 cases and an overall complication rate ranging from 10% to 20% Introduced in 2001, one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a modified gastric bypass that consists of a single gastrojejunal anastomosis between a long gastric pouch and a jejunal (biliopancreatic) omega loop. In Sept. 2019, taking into account the results from YOMEGA trial, the French High Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS)) recommended to ban OAGB with 200 cm or longer BPL and urged to assess the efficacy and safety of OAGB with 150 cm BPL in a randomized controlled trial. Indeed, YOMEGA-2 trial is logical continuity of the YOMEGA trial. The aim of this study is to assess weight loss efficiency and the nutritional safety of the OAGB-150 in comparison to a standard (RYGB). The hypothesis of this study is that the OAGB with a 150 cm BPL could have the same efficacy on weight loss and nutritional complication rate in comparison to the RYGB at 2 years.
Lower attainment of cardiovascular health (CVH), indicated by the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7; physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, glycemia) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8; LS7+sleep) metrics, is a major contributor to Black men having the shortest life-expectancy of any non-indigenous race/sex group. Unfortunately, a paucity of literature exists on interventions aimed at improving CVH among Black men. The team of clinician scientists and community partners co-developed a community-based lifestyle intervention titled Black Impact: a 24-week intervention for Black men with less-than-ideal CVH (<4 LS7 metrics in the ideal range) with 45 minutes of weekly physical activity, 45 minutes of weekly health education, and engagement with a health coach, group fitness trainer, and community health worker. Single-arm pilot testing of the intervention (n=74) revealed high feasibility, acceptability, and retention and a 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.40, 1.46, p<0.001) point increase in LS7 score at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes included improvements in psychosocial stress (i.e., perceived stress, depressive symptoms), patient activation, and social needs. Thus, robustly powered clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of Black Impact and to evaluate the underlying interpersonal and molecular pathways by which Black Impact improves psychosocial stress and CVH. Thus, the investigators propose a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of Black Impact. This novel, community-based intervention to provide a scalable model to improve CVH and psychosocial stress at the population level and evaluate the biological underpinnings by which the intervention mitigates cardiovascular disease risk. The proposed study aligns with American Heart Association's commitment to addressing CVH equity through innovative, multi-modal solutions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a cardiometabolic clinic on percent body weight loss, body mass index (BMI), and visceral adiposity distribution in obese adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) at 12 months.
The DIRECT trial is a prospective, multi-centre, two arm parallel feasibility pilot randomised controlled trial. The primary aim is to determine the feasibility of using repeat indirect calorimetry measurements to direct energy delivery in critically ill patients with obesity. The trial will recruit 60 mechanically ventilated patients from 4-6 ICUs in Australia and New Zealand.
The purpose of this research is to determine how exercise affects fat (adipose) tissue and how changes to adipose tissue that occur during and after exercise might improve health in aging and obesity.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the Food FARMacia intervention to reduce food insecurity is feasible and accepted among families with an infant age 6 to less than 18 months receiving pediatric primary care at Columbia / New York-Presbyterian Ambulatory Care Network. All participants will receive nutrition education and anticipatory guidance to support healthy meal preparation in addition to usual care.
