Efficacy and Safety of Endoscopic Antral Myotomy as a Novel Weight Loss Procedure
Gastric myotomy has been performed for several years as a means of addressing chronic stenosis after sleeve gastrectomy and treating gastroparesis. The Pylorus Sparing Antral Myotomy (PSAM) technique has the opposite effect by leaving the pylorus intact and extending the myotomy proximally to the distal gastric body. PSAM was initially …
Alzheimer"s Imaging Biomarkers in Obesity
High body fat at midlife, as evidenced by overweight or obese body mass index (BMI), is increasingly understood as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, the underlying processes and mechanisms that may underlie this risk remains unknown. With this project, the Investigator proposes to create a new cohort of …
Analysis of Articular Biomarkers From Osteoarthritic Thumb Basal Joints
The study project aims at examining molecular markers in synovial fluid, bone and articular cartilage from osteoarthritic thumb basal joints. The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in thumb basal joints will be evaluated in association to the metabolic profile of the patient, but we also aim to compare the …
Conventional Vs Tailored Limb Lengths in Laparoscopic Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
The study aims to investigate whether tailoring limb lengths based on the 1/3rd and 2/3rd concept improves clinical outcomes in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) surgery compared to conventional limb lengths. In this study, two groups were described, first group involves patients who will undergo Lap RYGB with conventional limb …
Continence, Sexual Function, Fitness and the Health of Men After Surgery for Prostate Cancer
The Continence, Sexual and Metabolic Health (CONTROL 4 LIFE) study will evaluate the recovery of continence, sexual function, and health outcomes in individuals who have undergone surgery for prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to better understand the timelines of recovery for these outcomes after surgery for prostate …
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 …
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 …
Effects of Daily Beef Intake, as a Component of a Heart-Healthy Diet on Cellular Zinc
The objective of the current study is to test the overarching hypothesis that the beef nutritive matrix is uniquely suited to direct dietary zinc to cellular compartments for improved metabolic function, leading to a greater effect on health outcomes. Specifically, whether beef, as a component of a healthy meal, will …
Impact of Metabolic Health Patterns And Breast Cancer Over Time in Women
Background \& Rationale: Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide (2.1 million diagnoses in 2018, 25% of new cancer cases). In Canada, early stage BC mortality rates have decreased by 48% over the past 30 years as a result of advances in prevention, detection, and …
Effect of Large Neutral Amino Acids in Adults With Classical Phenylketonuria
The overall aim of this study is to evaluate LNAA treatment as a potential alternative to conventional dietary treatment for PKU. This study investigates the effects of LNAA treatment compared to the classic dietary treatment on cerebral dopamine synthesis in patients with classic PKU. We will assess LNAAs effectiveness on …
