Investigation of the Effects of Different Levels of Obesity on the Respiratory System

ObesityAdolescent8 more

Obesity can be defined as' a disease that occurs as a result of the energy (calorie) taken with food being more than the energy consumed and the excess energy being stored as fat in the body, negatively affecting the quality and duration of life. BMI is calculated by dividing the weight (kg) by the square of the height (m2) (1,2). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, BMI between 25-29.9 kg / m2 is overweight, 30-34.9 kg / m2 is light, 35-39.9 kg / m2 is medium, 40 kg / m2 and above is considered as severe obesity. Obesity has important effects on respiratory function. These mechanical and biochemical effects are not easily measured by pulmonary function test and BMI measurement.Changes caused by mediators produced by adipose tissue likely cause changes in lung function, but this effect is not fully understood at the moment. The aim of our study is to make these effects more understandable and to compare them with different obesity classes and people with normal weight who are considered healthy. Hypothesis 0: The effects of obesity on respiratory functions and multidimensional health-related parameters do not show a statistically significant difference compared to individuals with different levels of the disease and normal weight individuals classified as healthy. Hypothesis 1: The effects of obesity on respiratory functions and multidimensional health-related parameters show a statistically significant difference compared to people with different levels of the disease and normal weight individuals classified as healthy. The study will be carried out by face-to-face evaluations in a clinical setting with obese patients between the ages of 18-65 who have applied to the clinic with a diagnosis of obesity and agree to participate in the study, and healthy volunteers who are considered to be healthy without a diagnosis of obesity. Looking at the evaluations to be made; Measurement of respiratory function parameters, measurement of respiratory muscle strength, anthropometric measurements, evaluation of body composition, quality of life, upper extremity muscle strength and grip strength, lower extremity muscle strength, fatigue evaluation, vital signs, evaluation of exercise perception, presence of dyspnea and its level will be evaluated. A detailed description of these evaluations and the parameters to be used will be explained in detail in the next step.

Body Weight Regulation, Disordered Eating Behaviour, and Experiences of Sexual Harassment in Female...

Body Weight ChangesEating Disorder Symptom3 more

Athletes in martial arts compete in categories separated by body weight, hence, many athletes need to adjust their habitual body weight during periods with competition preparation. Athletes competing in weight sensitive sports are previously identified with an increased risk for symptoms of low energy availability and of disordered eating. The methods used for body weight regulation are varied, and athletes without professional competent support, are prone to rely on harmful methods. And of importance, female athletes respond more negatively to attempts of body weight reduction with regards to health effects. Athletes of martial art are not surrounded by the same professional competence seen in other organized sports within the international sport federations, and specifically health competence is lacking. Additionally, numbers of females competing in martial art have increased the last decade, but they still practice in a sport culture dominated by males; both with reference to the high number of male participants, and with reference to the coaches within this sport. Sports involving practice in intimate, physical interaction with coaches or opposing athletes, and in sports where clothing is minimal, may be a high risk of experiences of sexual harassment. There have been a few reports on harmful methods of body weight regulation within martial arts, however, little knowledge exists on the practice by female martial art athletes, and the related health effects. Information on experiences of sexual harassment have been sparse in sport generally, with very little knowledge from sports like martial arts specifically. This study aims to explore the practice of female martial art athletes on body weight regulation, recovery strategies, their body acceptance and symptoms of eating disorders, and any experiences of sexual harassment. Additionally, with regards to the recent onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, this study also explores the related experiences by the athletes on training- and eating routines.

RCT: The Effect of Held Position During Kangaroo Care on Physiological Parameters of Premature Infants...

Extreme PrematurityExtremely Low Birth Weight2 more

The goal of this superiority crossover randomised controlled trial is to investigate whether there is an optimal position at which to perform kangaroo mother care (KMC) in extremely preterm infants in the NICU. The main question it aims to answer is: 1) is there an optimal position for an infant to be held during KMC and 2) to optimise benefits for infants receiving KMC. Participants will be: 1) randomised into two groups which determine which angle they will start at first, 2) assessed over two hour-long sessions on different days with a change in the angle at the 30 minute point, 3) monitored using a Massimo NIRS machine which will record oxygen saturations, cerebral NIRS values and heart rates, and 4) monitored for any episodes of desaturations and bradycardias during this time. Participants will then be assessed beginning with the the other angle first on a different day. The researchers will then compare the two groups to see if being held at a 30 degrees during KMC is superior to being held at 60 degrees in terms of physiological stability.

Evaluating Weight Stability of Pancreatic Cancer Cachexia Patients

Pancreatic NeoplasmsPancreatic Cancer2 more

Eligible patients will have a diagnosis of both pancreatic adenocarcinoma and cachexia defined as greater than 5% unintentional weight loss within 6 months prior to screening visit. Patients must be greater than 18 years of age; and have greater than 3 months life expectancy. This study will observe a standard of care intervention (tube feeding) for potential benefit. Peptamen will be administered through a jejunal or a gastrojejunal feeding tube and dosing will be calculated using the Mifflin St. Jeor equation. It will be administered daily for the duration of the protocol.
