Inspiratory Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Children With Obesity and Asthma
This is a single-center, randomized, SHAM-controlled, parallel assignment, double-masked,8-week interventional study among children aged 8-17 years (not yet 18 years old) of age with obesity and asthma. (n=60), recruited from Duke Health Center Creekstone, to test the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle rehabilitation (IMR) as an acceptable add-on intervention to reduce …
Obesity, Metabolic Dysregulation and the Airway Epithelium in Asthmatics
The objective of this pilot study is to determine whether obesity and metabolic syndrome are in fact synergistic in relation to airway nitric oxide (NO) biology. To do so, the investigators want to determine how obesity and the metabolic syndrome relate to metabolism in bronchial airway epithelial cells and the …
Young Adults With Early-onset Obesity Treated With Semaglutide
Introduction The increasing prevalence of obesity is particularly pronounced among adolescents. Currently available treatment options consist of structured lifestyle interventions. However, 25 % of adolescents do not respond to lifestyle treatment, why new effective treatment strategies are needed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of …
FMT in Obesity: RYGB vs. LEAN vs. Autologous FMT
This double-blinded proof-of-concept study is proposed to explore the effects of fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) in human subjects. Here we perform FMTs into obese recipients using stool from lean unoperated donors and from previously obese patients after successfull treatment with bariatric Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery. Obese patients treated with …
Prevention of Progression of Prediabetes, Obesity and CV Risk
The investigators are studying how to help people with prediabetes (Pre-DM) and obesity. The goal is to use new and affordable treatments to bring blood sugar levels back to normal and help participants to lose weight. The investigators also want to reduce participants risk of heart problems. The study team …
Treating Binge Eating and Obesity Digitally in Black Women
More than 30% of Black women with obesity binge eat. Binge eating may increase the risk for the development of metabolic syndrome and binge-eating-disorder (BED), which is associated with severe obesity. Though several effective treatments for binge eating exist, Black women have not fared well. Not only has their inclusion …
Time-restricted Eating Acceptability, Efficacy and Safety in Obesity
A randomized controlled trial to determine adherence, acceptability and safety of time restricted eating (TRE) in healthy, sedentary, free-living adults with obesity between the ages of 19-65 years when following 16:8 TRE for 8 weeks. This 9-week study includes a baseline week and 8 weeks of the intervention period. Participants …
Time-restricted Eating Among Pregnant Females With Severe Obesity
In the United States, severe obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40.0 kg/m2) affects approximately 10% of females of reproductive age with Black females disproportionately burdened (16%). Severe obesity is a significant predictor of adverse perinatal outcomes including gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-eclampsia, premature birth, and at its most severe, fetal …
Obesity, Insulin Resistance, and PASC: Persistent SARS-CoV-2
The investigators are studying the pathophysiologic links between obesity, insulin resistance (IR), adipose tissue infection, and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). This study looks at whether adipose (fat) tissue contributes to PASC by driving chronic inflammation or by serving as a reservoir for SARS-CoV-2 persistence. The results will not only …
The Role of Obesity in Severe COVID-19 Pathophysiology
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. As of 2024, the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is the predominant strain circulating within the population, generally causing mild upper respiratory tract infections. However, hospitalizations and case fatalities …
