Immunoinflammatory Response in Post Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS)
This is a prospective, observational study to investigate molecular mechanisms mediating the systemic inflammatory process, and changes to metabolism, and their impact on brain injury, survival, and functional outcomes after cardiac arrest. Investigators have shown that cardiac arrest induces changes in the numbers and properties of circulating immune cells, shifting …
Validation of Energy Expenditure Measures Study
The energy that the human body burns and the amount of food consumed determine a person's body weight. If food intake covers the amount of energy burned, body weight remains constant - a state known as energy balance. Achieving an energy balance is not easy in everyday life. This is …
The Proportion of Dietary Protein Digested as Measured by the Dual-isotope Method.
The retrospective cohort study will compare the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors between older patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and older patients with obesity without previous bariatric surgery.
Deep Phenotyping of Peripheral Blood Cells and Circulating Factors in Metabolic Diseases
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to to perform a thorough characterization of the quantitative and qualitative differences in peripheral blood cells, and circulating factors (proteins, metabolites, lipids, extracellular vesicles) in different stages of several metabolic diseases (diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) that share common pathophysiological mechanisms …
MEHMO Natural History and Biomarkers
This observational natural history study will follow individuals with MEHMO (Mental disability, Epileptic seizure, Hypopituitarism/Hypogenitalism, Microcephaly, Obesity) syndrome or an eIF2-pathway related disorder, who have symptoms such as intellectual delay, seizures, abnormal hormone and blood sugar levels, and decreased motor skills. No current treatment for these conditions is available. A …
The Effect of In-utero Exposure to Metformin in 5-11 Year Old Offspring of Mothers in the MiTy Trial
The incidence of diabetes in pregnancy is rising, with rates of 1 in 7 pregnancies globally. Metformin is used for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) outside of pregnancy and is now increasingly prescribed during pregnancy. There are some concerns as metformin crosses the placenta and effects on offspring exposed during pregnancy …
Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
The goal of this observation study is to assess whether endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography (EUS-SWE) may be a useful tool for liver fibrosis screening in patients with elevated body mass index and non alcoholic fatty liver disease as compared to other non-invasive screening modalities, which have traditionally had less …
Risk Factors and Multiomics Study of Chronic Kidney Disease Caused by Metabolic Diseases
With the development of China's economy, people's living standard have improved, and the dietary structure have changed. Metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia and obesity have gradually become an important health burden in China. The pathophysiological mechanism of renal injury caused by metabolic diseases has always been a hotspot …
Fasting Insulin and HOMA-IR by Age, Sex, Race/Ethnicity, BMI, and PCOS Diagnosis
The study aims to investigate the relationship between fasting insulin and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) across various demographic factors, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis. By analyzing these variables, the study seeks to identify potential variations in insulin levels, which could provide …
Register of Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare syndrome with a prevalence of 15 to 20 000 at birth. PWS represents a large fraction of mental retardation syndromes due to a genetic cause and the most frequent cause of genetic obesity. The majority of the patients are seen by paediatricians. This syndrome …
