Trans-nasal Endoscopy for Bariatric Patients
This study plans to learn if the EvoEndo Endoscopy system can be used to evaluate, provide and follow up care for upper gastrointestinal tract diseases in the bariatric population. The smallest current scope available for such a technique is an adult transnasal endoscope with a larger diameter, a pulmonary bronchoscope …
Mitigating the Pro-inflammatory Phenotype of Obesity
The purpose of this study is to examine the hypothesize that 4 weeks of sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) inhibition (oral clonidine) will cause a significant reduction in circulating blood concentrations and endothelial cell expression of inflammatory markers (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6). Our study is a prospective study using a randomized, double-blinded …
Maternal Smoking Cessation and Pediatric Obesity Prevention
The objective of this study is to test the effect of smoking cessation in pregnancy or in lactation on preventing rapid infant adiposity gain. Investigators propose a randomized, controlled experiment among smoking pregnant women from 1st prenatal care visit through 6 months of postpartum period. Two-phase randomization will be applied …
Pregnancy Exercise Mode Effect on Childhood Obesity
The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a longitudinal prospective study of overweight/obese (OW/OB) pregnant women and their offspring to determine which prenatal exercise mode will have the greatest impact on maternal and infant cardiometabolic health. This information may lead to clinical practice recommendations that improve childhood health. …
Self-Weighing for Adolescents Seeking Obesity Treatment
99 patients age 12 to <18 years old with obesity (BMI >/=95th percentile), will be randomized to one of three treatment interventions: Usual Care Usual Care plus advice to weigh daily on simple scale Usual Care plus advice to weigh-daily on an EHR-connected scale Survey data collected at baseline, 2, …
Harnessing Macrophage Lysosomal Lipid Metabolism in Obesity
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. …
Time Restricted Eating in Childhood Obesity (TRECO)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if time-restricted eating (TRE), an alternative method of reducing energy intake which has gained popularity in recent years, works to treat obesity in children. It will also learn about the safety and long-term adherence of 12-hour TRE, in comparison to calory …
Leg Heating in Pregnant Women With Obesity
Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The underlying mechanisms are largely unclear, but maternal vascular endothelial dysfunction is likely involved. Endothelial dysfunction in HDP could be attributed to 1) alterations in the L-arginine/nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and 2) an increase in endothelin-1 (ET-1). Additionally, …
Muscle and Movement With Anti-Obesity Medications
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about changes in body composition related to obesity medication use, and whether aerobic or resistance exercise training will impact these body composition changes. It will also provide information about whether aerobic or resistance exercise training has additional benefits on other health …
Oxygenation Procedure for Obese Patients During Intubation in the Operating Room
Obesity is a risk factor for difficult intubation, with an incidence of up to 15.5%, and difficult mask ventilation. Obesity also reduces the functional residual capacity (FRC) of the lungs, the main reservoir of oxygen during apnoea. Complications associated with induction and intubation in the operating room are more frequent …
