Filter by:To establish an obesity specific disease cohort database and form a special disease cohort, so as to provide guarantee for carrying out high-quality real-world clinical research and clinical research.
To investigate the efficacy of Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa) plus letrozole in obese progestin-insensitive atypical endometrial hyperplasia (EAH) patients.
The specific aim of this study is to determine molecular pathways that differentiate metabolically healthy vs unhealthy human phenotypes, and to investigate the therapeutic potential of pro-resolving lipids. Investigators will recruit volunteers that are metabolically healthy or unhealthy that fall within three BMI ranges: lean (18.-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (>30.0 kg/m2). Investigators hypothesize that metabolically healthy individuals have a superior endogenous capacity to regulate an inflammatory/resolving response.
This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people with excess body weight lose weight. CagriSema is a new medicine developed by Novo Nordisk that combines cagrilintide and semaglutide. CagriSema cannot yet be prescribed by doctors. In the study, participant will either get CagriSema or dummy medicine and which treatment participant get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 1½ years for each participant.
BACKGROUND: Binge eating disorder (BED) is the worldwide most-prevalent eating disorder. It is associated with psychiatric comorbidities and obesity, a high impact in life functioning, and high morbidity and mortality. First symptoms appear frequently in youths, who most commonly present incomplete (subthreshold) criteria for BED (precursor forms, PREC-BED). While some subjects will evolve from PREC-BED to BED, there is no gold standard to identify the clinical evolution. Information from prior studies suggest early alterations in reward and inhibitory brain circuits in PREC-BED may predict increased vulnerability or resilience to develop BED. Tools based on MRI brain connectivity analyses (MRI-BC), built on robust and interpretable connectivity whole-brain models, have proven successful in diagnostic classification and predicting certain clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To study MRI-BC diagnostic markers of PREC-BED and to explore prognosis at 1 year of follow-up in a sample of adolescents with obesity (12-17 years old). METHODS: A) Transversal analytical design: 3-group (n=34 per group) comparison of neuroimaging (MRI-BC), neurocognitive and clinical markers in adolescents with obesity and i) BED, ii) PREC-BED, iii) no BED nor PREC-BED (Healthy group, HC). B) Longitudinal analytical design, pilot, exploratory: adolescents with PREC-BED will be evaluated in clinical and neurocognitive variables at 1 year. Baseline brain neuroimaging variables (alone and in combination with clinical and neurocognitive variables) will be analyzed as predictors of clinical prognosis, including conversion to BED.
Developing and validating a predictive model to estimate the risk of early biliary stasis following bariatric surgery
A body of animal studies as well as observational studies in humans demonstrated that butyrate is one SCFA that has pronounced positive effects on body weight control, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Even though the SCFA hexanoate is less researched, it has been shown to be involved in anti-inflammatory processes. Of note, acute human studies showed that fibre-induced metabolic improvements are linked to higher SCFA levels in the systemic circulation. It has been shown that a butyrate/hexanoate-enriched triglyceride oil enhanced systemic butyrate and hexanoate concentrations for a prolonged time. Yet, it remains to be determined whether a chronic increase in circulating butyrate and hexanoate concentrations translate into long-term benefits. In this study it is hypothesized that a chronic increase of butyrate/hexanoate in the circulation may improve host metabolism and metabolic health by improving adipose tissue function, reducing systemic lipid overflow and inflammation thereby increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity in individual with overweight/obesity and prediabetes.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease. The study will last for about 5 years. Participants will have up to 27 clinic visits with the study doctor.
One of the factors affecting human health is nutrition. The effects of foods on blood glucose are still under investigation. The Glycemic Index (GI), which is associated with many diseases today, is a value that measures the rate at which carbohydrate-containing foods raise blood glucose. It is thought that the loaves of bread produced will be a product with low GI value and can be consumed by celiacs and diabetics. It is aimed to investigate the effect of adding different amounts of hazelnut flour to bread recipes using gluten-free corn flour on blood glucose.
The overall aim is to identify the dietary pattern for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. The specific aim of this pilot project is to compare effects of two diets with different diurnal distribution of carbohydrates and protein on the glucose metabolism in subjects with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and its effects on inflammatory status.
