Filter by:The purpose of this study is to figure out if postmenopausal women find a mindfulness audio recording acceptable for use along with physical activity, and to find out if this tool is helpful in increasing daily physical activity.
High-intensity interval exercise (HIIT), as compared to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT), is a time-efficient strategy to decrease total and abdominal fat mass (FM). However, the mechanisms underlying such adaptations are not yet elucidated and research are still needed to establish the optimal HIIT according to subject characteristics. The aim of this study was to compare acute HIIE and MICE cycling exercises on enjoyment, post-exercise substrate oxidation, appetite and energy intakes over 24h in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity. It is hypothesized that compared with the traditional MICE, HIIE could favor greater enjoyment, higher 2h-post-exercise fat oxidation and a similar energy intakes over 24h despite different post-exercise appetite perceptions.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of six weeks of watermelon puree supplementation, compared to control (no treatment), on blood antioxidant capacity, inflammation markers in the blood, biomarkers of metabolism in the blood, and cardiovascular disease markers in the blood, and biomarkers in the blood related to watermelon ingestion in overweight post-menopausal women. The secondary purpose is to compare body composition and body mass between the watermelon supplement group and the control group.
To assess the short-term efficacy of stellate ganglion block on hot flush reduction versus sham procedure
This trial studies how well weight bearing exercise works in preventing frailty in stage I-IIIA breast cancer survivors. Weight bearing exercise, including muscle-strengthening, aerobic, flexibility, and balance exercises, can decrease fat and increase muscle, which may lead to reduced frailty.
This phase II randomized trial studies how well bupropion hydrochloride works in improving sexual desire in women with breast or gynecological cancer. Bupropion hydrochloride may work by boosting sexual desire, energy, or motivation without causing intolerable or undesirable side effects.
Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease affecting women, and one of the treatments for its healing and survival is hormone therapy. Aromatase inhibitors are third-generation drugs that promote lower chance of metastasis, but their side effects include the loss of bone mineral density and increased fat percentage. In this way, the Combined Training (combined resistance and endurance training) may be an interesting strategy to minimize the side effects of aromatase inhibitors, providing better quality of life, survival and changes in body composition.
This phase II trial studies how well ribociclib and letrozole work in treating patients with estrogen receptor (ER) positive ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancer that has returned (come back) after a period of improvement. Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some enzymes needed for cell growth. Cancer cells that are estrogen receptor positive may need estrogen to grow. Letrozole lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body and this may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Giving ribociclib together with letrozole may be an effective treatment in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancer.
This randomized pilot trial studies how well an exercise intervention works in preventing breast cancer from coming back in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. Regular exercise may be able to train the body to repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) more efficiently and to respond to inflammation more proficiently, helping to prevent primary and recurrent breast cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of everolimus and trastuzumab when given together with letrozole in treating patients with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer or other solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving everolimus, letrozole, and trastuzumab together may be a better treatment for breast cancer and other solid tumors than everolimus alone.
