Filter by:The specific aims and objectives of this proposal are to: 1. Evaluate a food pantry's weekly food distribution impact on behavioral, social and health outcomes in families. 2. In a subset of families with a child aged 6-17 years, test a pilot intervention offering the following components, with a goal of improving family behavioral, social and health outcomes: 1. Weekly family food packages from the Revere Food Pantry 2. 6-Monthly group sessions that include information on healthy behaviors, chronic disease management and teaching families how to prepare simple recipes based on the food they receive that week from the food pantry.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sleeve gastrectomy combined with pancreas after kidney (PAK) transplantation as a means of achieving normoglycemia, insulin independence, reduced insulin resistance, and kidney graft function preservation in the T2DM population. in the first year post pancreas after kidney transplant. Safety and efficacy data will be collected from the time of enrollment until participants reach 1 year post PAK transplant. Data will be compared to historical data from TGH's renal and pancreas transplant programs.
Despite the many associated health benefits, more than half of Veterans do not achieve enough regular physical activity. The investigators' prior work has demonstrated that gamification, a method commonly used for health promotion, can lead to sustained increases in physical activity if it is designed using insights from behavioral economics to enhance social incentives. In this study, the investigators will compare the effectiveness of behaviorally designed gamification that encourages Veterans to collaborate or compete on physical activity levels and examine clinical outcomes as well as costs, barriers and facilitators to implementation of the program within Veterans Affairs.
Resistance training is a common way of daily exercise which has a remarkable function in healthcare. It has been used in many diseases as a complementary method. Overweight and obesity are the sixth highest risk of death worldwide. In recent years, the data show that the rate of overweight obese among college students shows a significant increasing trend. The common characteristics of overweight and obese people are strong appetite which is difficult to be controled and sedentary. resistance training is a solid supplement to physical education and how to reduce appetite of overweight and obese college female students through resistance training is the key to increase their health by university sport course. The training plan divides the training intensity into three levels including 45-50% one repetition maximum(1RM), 60-65% 1RM, 45-50% 1RM, respectively plus control group. Therefore, this experimental research examines the effectiveness and the differences of three Intensities resistance training on energy intake and appetite regulation among overweight and obese college girl. Finally, to evaluate whether the resistance training can reduce the overweight and obese female college students' energy intake and appetite regulation
This is an observational, retrospective, cohort study using administrative insurance claims data. The aim of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to compare maternal, fetal and infant outcomes of women exposed to Wegovy during pregnancy to a reference population not exposed to Wegovy, so that participants and healthcare providers can make informed treatment decisions.
The objectives of this trial are to assess the effects of steviol glycoside alone or in combination with a glycemic carbohydrate on blood glucose and endocrine and gut hormone secretion vs. water and glucose in individuals with normal weight, overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The purpose of this study is to address physical inactivity in rural populations in Pennsylvania.
Dietary supplementation with methyl donors has been demonstrated to increase DNA methylation in leucocytes whereas a limited dietary intake of methyl donors was associated with DNA hypomethylation. Considering SLE disease, previously study showed that high doses of vitamin B6 and folate were associated with less severe SLE. Furthermore, some evidences reported a relatively high incidence of decreased serum B12 levels in rheumatic patients. This led to the suggestion that diets rich in methyl group donors could have beneficial effects on SLE.
The objectives of this trial are to assess the effects of adding 2 servings/d of either full-fat or low-fat fermented dairy products to the diet, as a replacement for non-dairy foods with macronutrient composition similar to the low-fat fermented dairy condition, on insulin sensitivity, erythrocyte fatty acid profile and other cardiometabolic health markers in metabolically at-risk adults.
The "Bialystok Exercise Study in Diabetes" (BESD), is an exercise intervention study, conducted by the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Internal Medicine and Clinical Research Centre of the Medical University of Bialystok. In the project, sedentary males at different stages of dysglycemia living in the city of Bialystok participate in three months of an exercise intervention consisting of supervised training sessions at a local fitness centre. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the exercise intervention in patients at different stages of dysglycemia progression, including type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and compare the response between groups.
