NCT01114932
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the time needed to raise the oxygen concentration in patient's blood to 90% and his/or her body mass index. The prevalence of obesity in our society continues to rise. No studies have shown the time required for preoxygenation (oxygen given) in relation to body mass index (body weight in kg/height in meter2).
NCT01533896
Parents should receive anticipatory guidance about obesity prevention as part of the routine well child visit. Educational resources are needed to help physicians routinely provide these important anticipatory guidance messages. In this study, consecutive parents will be exposed to routine anticipatory guidance messages before the well child visit with the physician. After the clinic visit, parents will be invited to participate in a research study to determine if they plan any changes at home. The key research question of this study is: Can a brief multimedia intervention help parents develop plans to help their children have a healthy weight?
NCT01329692
Purpose and objective: To identify in the early post-operative period following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients likely to fail to progressively lose weight in expected fashion, and to institute intervention and assess for its efficacy. Study activities and population group: Patients identified to have "poor weight loss" (≤ 11% of excess weight loss) at 1 month will be randomized into a control versus study group. Intervention for subjects randomized to the IV arm will be by enrollment in the Back on Track program. This is a seven-week group education, counseling, nutrition, exercise, and journaling program of the Duke Weight Loss Surgery Center designed to help postoperative bariatric surgery patients who are failing to progressively lose weight resume an expected pattern of weight loss and improved overall outcome. Data analysis and risk/safety: Data will be collected and analyzed by the identified investigators. The goal of data analysis is to uncover any difference in the EWL of subjects who underwent intervention for falling in the lowest EWL quartile when compared with those who did not undergo intervention, and determine the statistical significance of any such difference. There are no physical risks associated with this study. There is, however, the potential risk of loss of confidentiality. Every effort will be made to keep your information confidential.
