Filter by:The primary purpose of this project is to observe the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy-based weight-loss mobile application (Bi' Kilo) in 4 essential areas (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Psychometric, Cognitive) in overweight and obese individuals and to test whether these effects will persist after ten weeks. In this context, the original value of the proposed study is that a mobile application will be produced that is suitable for the culture and whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven. In our current project proposal, the measurements of the participants will be evaluated holistically together with both tests and inventories, as well as physical measurements and biochemical data. In this study, the usability of the mobile application to be developed will also be evaluated and reported. The study group of the research will consist of overweight and obese individuals. The first stage will be a pilot study to identify the shortcomings of the Bi'Kilo mobile application. After eliminating the deficiencies of the Bi' Kilo mobile application, a working group will be formed in the second phase of the research. At this stage, the sample will be divided into two different groups within the scope of the study and a study group and a control group will be formed. The study consists of three phases as preparation, implementation, and follow-up. Measurements of the participants will be made at the beginning (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Psychometric, Cognitive), at the end of the six-week implementation phase (Anthropometric), and at the end of the four-week follow-up phase (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Psychometric, Cognitive).
This study will help researchers learn more about how babies respond to bottle nipples with larger or smaller holes. Researchers guess that infants of mothers with obesity who did not lose weight prior to pregnancy will have the greatest Suck Effect on the challenging compared with the typical nipple.
Adult subjects with a history of or currently taking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication and moderate-to-severe cheek wrinkles and midface contour deficiencies will be treated with Sculptra correction of fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek area and Restylane Lyft or Restylane Contour for cheek augmentation and correction of midface contour deficiencies.
Obesity, defined by WHO standards as having a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30 kg/m², affects approximately 800 million people worldwide. It is evident that obesity has become a serious public health issue, resulting in significant health burdens. Previous systematic reviews have indicated an association between obesity and male factor infertility. In populations undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), some studies have shown a correlation between increased male BMI and adverse ART outcomes. Furthermore, the negative effects of obesity may also be transmitted to offspring through genetic and epigenetic changes in reproductive cell DNA, increasing their risk of obesity, metabolic diseases, or other chronic conditions. Currently, there is a lack of data on the impact of weight loss in obese men on fertility, and it is unclear which nutritional pattern in lifestyle interventions can more effectively control weight, improve semen quality, and address related endocrine issues in obese men, thereby improving reproductive treatment outcomes. Based on previous literature, we hypothesize that lifestyle interventions, particularly strict low-carbohydrate diets combined with lifestyle guidance, may offer greater health benefits for obese men. These benefits include effective weight loss, improvement in semen parameters, reproductive metabolic health, quality of life related to reproductive health, and the impact on reproductive treatment outcomes. This provides a basis for non-pharmacological intervention strategies and methods for the health of obese men.
The goal of this mechanistic study is to investigate the role of incretin hormones on weight loss-induced type 2 diabetes remission.
Weight loss interventions for neurologically health individuals have established benefits for improving physical and psychosocial function. The investigators believe that Veterans who have had a stroke would realize similar benefits and that the effects would be enhanced with concurrent exercise training. The investigators will study the effects of a 15-week lifestyle management program to determine if it can effectively improve some of the physical and psychosocial problems common in Veterans who have had a stroke.
In this trial, the aim is to assess the clinical benefits and harms, as well as cost-effectiveness of an intensive weight loss (IWL) intervention that includes total dietary replacements, behavioural support and weight-loss medication compared with existing weight management programmes within primary care for people with severe and complex obesity.
In this trial, the aim is to assess the clinical benefits and harms, as well as cost-effectiveness of an intensive weight loss (IWL) intervention that includes total dietary replacements, behavioural support and weight-loss medication compared with existing weight management programmes within primary care for people with obesity class I or uncomplicated obesity class II or higher.
The effectiveness of low-protein diets supplemented with essential aminoacid (EAA) formulas in genetic disorders of amino acid (AA) catabolism, such as maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), is widely recognized (Blackburn PR et al. 2017). The main aim of the present study is to evaluate a difference in the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program in patients with high degree of obesity with and without supplementation of this new formula of amino acids (essential + tricarboxylic acids - EAA-AC). For this reason, patients of both sexes, aged between 45 and 65, suffering from high-grade obesity will be recruited in Piancavallo. The enrolled patients divided, randomly, into two groups will be given: EAA-AC group a low-calorie and low-protein diet integrated with 4 sachets of EAA-AC supplement per day; the control group will follow a low-calorie and low-protein diet only with placebo. The parameters considered, after two weeks of treatment, will be: weight loss; the maintenance/recovery of muscle mass assessed through changes in body composition and functional tests (Hand grip, 6MWT or TUG) but also through the analysis of mitochondrial function in PBMC and circulating levels of mtDNA; the improvement of the glucose picture and the lipid profile. 1 month after discharge, patients will carry out an outpatient check-up to evaluate the maintenance of muscle mass using impedance testing.
With this trial, the aim is to assess the benefits and harms of a non-surgical intensive weight loss intervention that includes total dietary replacements, behavioural support and weight-loss medication compared with bariatric surgery for people with severe and complex obesity. The interpretation of the results will help inform future care pathways for people with obesity in whom bariatric surgery is currently the only available effective treatment option.
