Connected Scales to Optimize the Maintenance of Weight Lost After Bariatric Surgery and Limit Failures and Reoperations
In this research, we hypothesize that post-operative monitoring implemented with a connected scale after the 1st year (weight nadir period) post obesity surgery (i.e. sleeve and RYGB) would reduce the percentage of patients with excessive weight regain (>10% regain of lost weight) by improving the quality of follow-up and long-term …
Influence of FreeO2 on Percentage of Time Within Oxygen Saturation Target Using Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for Patients Admitted for AECOPD or Bariatric Surgery
The main objective is to evaluate the FreeO2 device combined with noninvasive respiratory support technique for COPD patients and postoperative bariatric surgery patients. The main hypothesis is that FreeO2 device for oxygen therapy associated with NIV or nasal high flow oxygen therapy (NHFOT) allows to reach better oxygenation and avoid …
Optimizing Portal Hypertension With TIPS and Interval Metabolic Surgery for Advanced Liver Disease
Cirrhosis is a form of advanced liver disease that can lead to serious complications, especially when combined with severe obesity. Many patients with cirrhosis also develop a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), which is increased pressure in the veins of the liver. CSPH raises the risk of life-threatening …
Exercise Effects on Adipose Tissue Structure and Function
Participants will be randomized into one of two different experimental groups: 1) Exercise group and 2) No exercise (control group). Subject participation in the study will involve a series of metabolic tests before and after participants undergo a 10% weight loss program (with or without exercise training depending on group …
Metabolic Adaptations to Weight Loss With and Without Exercise
Study Purpose: The combination of caloric restriction and exercise is the most common first-line treatment for obesity-related disorders, yet we know very little about how these two very different treatments work together. A deeper understanding about mechanisms underlying the health benefits of adding exercise to a weight loss program will …
Effects of Lifestyle Intervention on Childhood Outcomes in LGA Infants
Large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants have a higher risk of metabolic disease later in life, and their postnatal growth in early childhood may be associated with long-term adverse outcomes. The purpose of this study is to explore whether comprehensive lifestyle intervention in the first year after birth in LGA infants will reduce …
Evaluation of Propofol Dosing Based on Total Body Weight Using Closes-loop Anaesthesia Delivery System
The pharmacokinetic profile of various drugs is altered in obese patients especially those administered by the intravenous route. Propofol is the commonly used intravenous anesthetic agent for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia as part of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) regimen. A major concern with propofol dosing based on total body …
Effect of GLP1 Receptor Agonist on Brain Insulin Responsiveness
The overarching goal of the current study is to investigate the effect of GLP-1 on brain insulin responsiveness in a randomized, single-blinded, within subject cross-over study design. To this end, investigators will compare the effect of the administration of semaglutide versus placebo, followed by an fMRI with administration of intranasal …
A Study to Investigate Effectiveness of Tirzepatide Following Initiation of Ixekizumab in Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis and Overweight or Obesity in Clinical Practice (TOGETHER AMPLIFY-PsA)
The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adding tirzepatide to ixekizumab therapy in standard clinical practice in participants with moderate-to-severe PsA and obesity or overweight with at least 1 weight-related comorbidity. The study will last up to 12 months.
Translational Study Using Human Abdominal Adipose Tissue Biopsies to Investigate the Role of Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CB1) in Controlling Endocannabinoid and Adipokine Secretion
Abdominal obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with the hyperactivation of the endocannabinoid system. Several animal and human studies indicate that circulating endocannabinoid (EC) levels are correlated with body fat. Thus, adipose tissue, which possesses the enzymatic machinery for the synthesis of ECs, could be the main producer of …
