PET-study on the Role of the Reward System in Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery (BS) is currently the most effective treatment in severe obesity. However, a considerable percentage of patients undergoing BS fail to lose sufficient weight or regain weight after initial weight loss during long-term follow-up, which may be attributed to personality traits and pathological eating behaviour. Previous positron emission tomography …
Cognitive Strategies for Weight Loss
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare weight change and other related outcomes associated with three different behavioral weight loss interventions (STANDARD Behavioral, PREVENT, and PROMOTE) in adults with obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which of the three Internet-delivered weight loss programs results in …
Endo-Band: Endoscopic Band Ligation for Weight Loss
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to use endoscopic band ligation for weight loss. All ligatures will be performed in the gastric body starting at the distal body; 5 parallel rows, with the last one in the proximal body.The entire procedure can be completed in …
Caloric Restriction and Activity to Reduce Chemoresistance in B-ALL
This study is for older children, adolescents, and young adults with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). Higher amounts of body fat is associated with resistance to chemotherapy in patients with B-ALL. Chemotherapy during the first month causes large gains in body fat in most people, even those who start chemotherapy …
Taste Physiology in Obese Volunteers Before and After Bariatric Surgery
The objective is to investigate neuro-anatomical correlates of gastrointestinal taste stimulation by means of functional MRI before and after bariatric surgery. Intragastric administration of glucose, monosodium glutamate, chloroquine and placebo is followed by functional brain MRI in obese humans before and 3 months after surgery.

Probiotic Intervention Study
The current standard of care for obesity is the optimal management of comorbid conditions such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and counseling on diet, weight loss, or increased physical activity programs. However, lifestyle, diet, and behavioral interventions may provide between 7-10% reduction in initial weight and even fewer with long-term weight …
