Active clinical trials for "Body Weight"

This clinical trial will assess growth, tolerance and adverse events of cow milk-based infant formulas in healthy, term infants.

The study aims to determine if somatic dysfunctions of the pelvis, sacrum and lower lumbar spine have an effect on weight bearing. Our subjects are young, healthy subjects without recent soft tissue or osseous injury, a less than predetermined leg length discrepancy or OMM/chiropractic treatment. Their leg lengths will be measured; weight-bearing will be measured using a specialized scale and somatic dysfunctions diagnosed to determine if any correlation exists.

The main aim of this study is to analyze and report the preliminary and intermediate term outcomes after laparoscopic revision Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for weight recidivism. The foremost outcome measurements are 1) Fat loss mainly measured as weight loss and expressed as trends in BMI, %EWL, and/or %EBL; 2) Trend in Comorbidity status; and 3) Patient satisfaction and Health-Related Quality of Life "HR-QoL" measured by a standardized, non-validated subjective satisfaction questionnaire and the validated, disease-specific, Moorehead-Ardelt II QoL questionnaires, respectively; 4) Morbidity & Mortality including nutritional status and metabolic complications. Consequently, secondary objectives of this study are 1) to assess failure rate defined as percentage of excess weight loss < 50% , lowest BMI >35 for morbidly obese (MO) or >40 for superobese (SO), and/or lack of resolution/improvement of major comorbidities at the point in time when assessing preliminary and intermediate results after the surgery under analysis. 2) To evaluate the metabolic and nutritional status by measurements of particular clinical and biochemical parameters. This research is in line with the most current provocative new ideas and recent high impact publications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first outcome study of revisional malabsorptive distal gastric bypass surgery by laparoscopy with diverse revisional strategies such as revisional gastroplasty, revisional Fobi-Capella, revisional Adjustable Gastric Band, conversion to distal, and conversion to very, very long limb gastric bypass. Previously, several studies have addressed conversion to malabsorptive gastric bypass after a failed primary proximal gastric bypass but none has addressed the failed distal gastric bypass nor the adequate balance between increasing restriction and malabsorption for decreasing the risk of protein-calorie malnutrition.

The purpose of this study, then, is to search existing clinic and hospital records for answers to the following two questions: (1) Do pregnant women who are at least 37 weeks gestation and who have an increase in urubilinogen on urine dipstick at a prenatal appointment have a statistically significant shorter average time before going into active labor than their negative counterparts? (2) Do pregnant women who are at least 37 weeks gestation and who show a modest weight loss between two prenatal appointments have a statistically significant shorter average time before going into active labor than their counterparts who did not lose weight?

RATIONALE: Measuring changes in body weight and body composition in women with early-stage breast cancer may help doctors plan the best weight control program and improve patients' quality of life. It is not yet known which program is most effective in women with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is comparing three weight control programs to see how well they work in women who have undergone surgery for early stage breast cancer.

Several hormones involved in body weight regulation increase the subject's ability to burn fat for energy. The purpose of this study is to investigate how burning fat for energy may affect those hormones and body weight in children. The study will also determine if eating a diet higher in protein alters the amount of fat you burn and how these hormones control body weight.

Specific Aim #1: Pilot test a social network-informed CBPR-derived health promotion program for feasibility outcomes with overweight or obese adults from two immigrant communities. Specific Aim #2: Assess the preliminary impact of embedding a social network-informed CBPR-derived intervention within a regional health promotion resource hub on sustainability and uptake outcomes.

This study included two groups of premenopausal healthy obese women. Experimental group underwent a weight loss program involved a low calorie diet plus anti-obesity drugs and moderate physical activity and control group underwent an ad libitum diet. At baseline and after a 10-15% weight loss lymphocyte subgroups were analyzed and compared between two group.

The aim of this study is compare the reversal of rocuronium induced neuromuscular blockade in morbidly obese patients using three doses of sugammadex; based on ideal body weight, adjusted body weight, and actual body weight.

The proposed randomized controlled trial will evaluate an educational self-management intervention in 450 African American women and weight management. It will be the first to use a culturally tailored in-person and telephone approach to address all aspects of wellness and social determinants for African American women to achieve optimal long term wellness for both self and family.
