Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect plant-based diet, with a partial replacement of animal protein by plant protein, in blood sugar levels and other health risks of people with type 2 diabetes and excessive weight. The plant-based diet will be compared to a standard healthy diet according to guidelines for people with diabetes. Participants will follow a plant-based or a standard healthy diet for 24 weeks and will maintain their habitual levels of physical activity.
Determine the effect on weight loss and obesity-related comorbidities in patients receiving the POSE 2.0 procedure with sequential use of Liraglutide at 6 months compared to those receiving Liraglutide and then undergoing the POSE 2.0 procedure at 6 months.
General anesthesia and mechanical ventilation decrease pulmonar volume; attenuate small airway closure, atelectasis, and increase the rate of hypoxia and postoperative pulmonary complications. Lung volume in obese patients decreases inversely with the increase in body mass index. Obesity is associated with increased atelectasis, hypoxia and postoperative pulmonary complication rates during anesthesia . Alveolar recruitment maneuver is a technique where high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is applied for for short periods, follwed by a continuous PEEP appşication throughout surgery. This has become a standard practice during anesthesia in recent years. Oxygen reserve index (ORi) is an index measured with a non-invasive finger-tip sensor and shows the oxygen content of the venous blood. It is effective at high oxygen levels and may indicate the presence of hyperoxia. Our aim is to examine the effect of alveolar recruitment maneuver on oxygenation parameters under anesthesia and the correlation with ORi in morbidly obese patients.
The overall objective of this application is to develop a mobile health platform for the pediatric care setting to promote longer sleep duration for childhood obesity prevention.
The major objective of this project is to examine whether daily consumption of milk polar lipids (MPLs) influences cardiometabolic risk factors.
The study objective is to evaluate whether a novel telemedicine-based intensive treatment program for children with obesity is superior to standard on-site care. This will be a randomized, non-blinded (due to the nature of the intervention) study, where 100 children and adolescents aged 10-18 years with obesity will be divided in a 1:1 ratio to either telemedicine or on-site treatments for 6 months. The telemedicine arm will include 30, mostly video, consultations for each participant: 3 physician appointments, 7 exercise consultations by our exercise physiologist, 10 dietary consultations by our pediatric dietitian, and 10 psychologist consultations to assist with goal setting and overall well-being. Three visits will be conducted in-office, for physician assessment, smartphone technical assistance and physical measurements (baseline, at 3 months and at the end of the 6-month period). Participants randomized to the telemedicine arm will have a step-counting rewarding app installed on their smartphone by our staff. The in-office arm will have 6 monthly visits during the study period, with two consultations performed in each visit - one by the physician or exercise physiologist, and one by our pediatric dietitian. The main outcome of the study is BMI standard deviation (z-score) changes, which will be evaluated after 3 and 6 months of treatment during physical office visits in both study arms. Secondary outcomes will be: - Body-fat percent changes, assessed by bioimpedance analysis in physical clinic visits. - Daily step counts, measured by smartphone data/ wearable activity tracker, if available. - Weight-related quality of life - Retention and visit cancellation rates. - Satisfaction of both parent and child from their allocated treatment.
African American adults sleep less and obtain worse quality sleep compared to the national average, and emerging evidence links inadequate sleep with greater morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer. To address this public health concern, the proposed research seeks to use a multi-method approach to adapt a sleep intervention for African American adults with overweight/obesity not meeting national sleep duration or physical activity recommendations. The overall goal of the project is to reduce cancer and obesity-related health disparities among African Americans.
This study was designed as a large, randomized, controlled clinical trial in a heterogeneous population and is aimed at assessing as a primary objective whether the fasting-mimicking diet alone or in combination with the longevity diet can modify the percentage of fat mass in a cohort of subjects stratified by sex, age and body mass index. As secondary objectives, will evaluate the effects of the fasting-mimicking diet alone or in combination with the longevity diet on the general health conditions of the population. From a public health point of view, the efficacy of a food intervention such as the longevity diet and/or short periods of fasting-mimicking diet would represent proof of the results that can be achieved by a realistics, feasible and inexpensive approach. The information obtained is relevant because the nutritional intervention will be undertaken by people who live in their normal environment and who simply receive every day dietary guidelines, and support and/or boxes containing a 5 day meal program to be consumed in lieu of their normal diet once every 3 months.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tirzepatide (LY3298176) in pediatric participants with obesity. The blood tests will be performed to investigate how the body processes the study drug in these participants. For each participant, the study will last about approximately 13 weeks excluding the screening period.
The implementation of therapeutic cooking workshops during the management of obesity in hospitals is now well accepted and recognized as of potential interest on the nutritional level but also cognitive and social (DESPORT, 2015; DAGONEAU, 2008). The literature shows that adults participating in cooking workshops are satisfied and acquire cooking skills potentially useful for improving their health (WOLFSON, BLEICH, 2015; CARAHER, 1999). REICKS (2014, 2018) and REES (2012) point out, however, the low methodological quality of most of the studies conducted and, in fact, the effectiveness of therapeutic cooking workshops has not been formally demonstrated by rigorous randomized studies. The Care and Prevention Research Unit (CRESP) of the Manhès Hospital Center then built a multicenter research protocol to demonstrate the impact of cooking workshops in the care of patients with obesity. The protocol involves 6 hospitals: Georges Pompidou European Hospital (HEGP) University Hospital Center (department of Prof S. CZERNICHOW), PITIE SALPETRIERE University Hospital Center (department of Prof J.M. OPPERT), Cognacq Jay Hospital Center, Forcilles Hospital Center, Bligny Hospital Center and Manhes Hospital Center . The CuisTO protocol was selected by the PHRIP Jury of the DGOS (General Direction of the Care Offer French Ministry of Health) in 2019 as a high priority project. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of remote cooking workshops in the management of obesity, through two methods of setting up therapeutic cooking workshops (so-called "classic" workshops and workshops in the form of "culinary challenges") to improve dietary balance in the context of the care of adult patients living with obesity. Dietary balance will be estimated by compliance with the recommendations of the latest National Health Nutrition Program (PNNS-4 2019-2023), "judged" by the PNNS-GS2 score, the consumption of fruits and vegetables, the frequency of cooking and a reduction in the consumption of ultra-processed dishes that have already been prepared. This is a multicentre, open-label, controlled, comparative intervention study with sequential randomization in clusters (clusters) of the "stepped wedge" type
