To assess the effect of wearing a custom-fitted, FDA-registered, Class I device, compression garment (Obesinov, S.A.R.L.) by an individual with a BMI ≥ 35 on his/her day-to-day quality of life over a period of one year. Various measures of quality of life will be taken, including assessing an individual's level of pain, mood, self-stigma and comfort with the use of a compression garment.

Randomized controlled parallel open-label study in people living with HIV and at least 6 month of treatment with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine prior to inclusion. Participants (n=95) are randomized to continue 3 drug-regimen dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine (control) or switch to two-drug regimen with dolutegravir/lamivudine (intervention). Follow-up is 48 weeks. Data is collected at baseline and week 48. Primary outcome is changes in weight from baseline of more than 2 kg. Secondary outcomes are changes in cardiac risk, composition and calcification of the heart tissue, and changes in body composition and metabolism, inflammation and coagulation. A MRI substudy is applied to focus on the cardiac adverse effects of abacavir.

Prospective, double-arm, multi-center cohort study on obese patients, for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy versus Roux-en Y gastric bypass

Many patients would benefit from dietary/nutritional support to better manage their conditions but evaluating current intake in relation to personal targets is labour-intensive and often does not feature as part of clinical consultations. Primary objective: test usability and acceptability of 'myfood24 Health' for monitoring dietary intake in a group of patients. Recruit 60 gastroenterology surgery patient (Leeds) and 60 Tier 3 Weight Management patients (30 Leeds/ 30 York). Randomise to 3 groups usual care myfood24Health myfood24Health plus personalised feedback 'diet optimisation engine' which suggests changes to amounts or types of foods During a 2-month follow-up, patients in group 2 or 3 will be asked to record daily diet in myfood24, including weekend and weekdays and use it a minimum of 4 times. HCPs will be able to review diet/nutrients for group 2 and 3 patients and can support dietary change or nutritional goals, as part of patients' ongoing clinical management, during existing scheduled clinic visits (N.B. not all participants will have a scheduled clinic appointment during the study). 2 months after recruitment, all participants will receive a link to an online feedback questionnaire. At end of study, HPCs will be invited to provide feedback during a 30 minute interview.

Adults aged over 18 years, with the diagnosis of Prader-willi syndrome will be recruited through the hospital's outpatient clinic for either as intervention group receiving therapeutic elastic band training, or as control group receiving usual care for a total of 16 weeks.
