NCT07504952
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether taking probiotics can improve thinking ability and gut (digestive) symptoms in healthy adults. The study will also explore whether probiotics affect mental health, alcohol cravings, and drinking and eating behaviours. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do probiotics improve everyday thinking, attention, and memory? * Do probiotics reduce digestion issues or discomfort? * Do probiotics modulate alcohol cravings? * Do probiotics improve mood, stress, and anxiety levels? * Do probiotics influence drinking behaviour? * Do probiotics influence eating behaviour? Researchers will compare a probiotic supplement to a placebo (a look-alike product with no active ingredients) to see whether probiotics have real effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these groups, and neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving which treatment during the study. Participants will: * Take either a probiotic supplement or a placebo every day for 8 weeks * Complete online questionnaires about their mood, thinking, eating and drinking behaviours, and digestive health at the start and end of the study * Provide basic lifestyle and demographic information This study aims to better understand whether probiotics could be a simple and low-cost way to support cognitive function, digestive health and other wellbeing outcomes in generally healthy adults.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third-most abundant component in mothers' milk and are an important prebiotic factor for the development of the gut microbiota of infants, promoting the growth of certain beneficial bacterial strains and providing protection against many bacterial and viral infections. HMOs induce immunomodulatory activity by affecting immune cell populations and functions. In a simulator of the adult human intestinal microbial ecosystem, fermentation of HMOs led to an increase of bifidobacteria in parallel with an increase in short-chain fatty acids as well as a reduction in inflammation markers, supporting the potential of HMOs to provide health benefits also in adults. Long-term stay in microgravity induces many physiological responses, including diminished immune function and impaired glucose tolerance which may lead to rather severe consequences. Similarly, hypoxia conditions as in the Concordia station, affects the immune system and may lead to impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. The hypothesis is that HMOs as a prebiotic supplement will mitigate changes in immune function, glucose tolerance, lipid homeostasis, and neurotransmitter production. It is expected that HMO supplementation will * Modulate gut microbiota composition and function * Improve inflammation status * Improve immune function * Improve glucose tolerance * Improve nutritional status * Prevent changes in neurotransmitters associated with anxiety and depression. During the stay in Antarctica an HMO blend will be supplemented to the verum group of volunteers. The control group will receive a placebo. Experiment days with blood drawing, an oral glucose tolerance test, saliva sampling, and feces samples are planned once before, about every second month in Concordia, and once after return.

This study consists of two parts: the first part is a single-dose escalating（SAD） and food effect （FE）study, and the second part is a multiple-dose (14-day) escalating(MAD) study. Both phases are designed as randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation, placebo-controlled clinical studies.
NCT07227259
The main goal of this clinical study is to see if consuming pecan nuts will result in improvements in overall body metabolism such as in blood lipids, markers of inflammation, blood pressure, cognitive performance and changes in bacteria living in the gut in adults 45 to 75 years of age. Participants will take part in two 3-month intervention periods, separated by 4-6 weeks, in random order ( a total of approximately 7 months). During one intervention period, they will include pecan nuts in their diet each day, while during the other intervention period they will avoid pecans in their diet. There will be an initial screening visit to evaluate eligibility and four study visits to the clinic. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their diet, physical and cognitive health, and provide blood and stool samples, and have their blood pressure measured.
NCT06802068
Omega-3 index is used as a proxy for an adequate intake of fish unsaturated fats in the diet. However, omega-3 supplements have not consistently shown the health benefits of eating fresh fish. This study will assess the change in omega-3 index and impact on markers of cardiometabolic health with two different supplements: a whole, unprocessed salmon oil and a standard, processed, concentrated oemga-3 oil. The markers to be studies included impact on inflammation and oxidative stress, cholesterol and markers of risk of diabetes. Change in sleep metrics will also be assessed.
NCT06815991
This is a single center, open label (i.e. participants and study staff will not be masked to the intervention) single ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmaokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MIB-725 in community dwelling, healthy adults. Up to 4 successive groups (cohorts) of 8 subjects each will be enrolled in this trial. This study will determine the safety and tolerability of orally administered single ascending (increasing) doses (100, 200, 400, and 800 mg) of MIB-725 in healthy adults. The safety will be assessed by evaluating physical examination that includes an external eye examination, vital signs, adverse events, and changes in blood counts, EKG, urinalysis, coagulation measures, and blood chemistries, including but not limited to blood glucose, electrolytes, creatinine, liver function tests, uric acid, and creatine kinase.
NCT04933656
In this research study, the investigators will use a novel approach to measure what people eat. The goal is to find out whether stable isotopes that can be measured in blood, hair, and fingernails are better at measuring what people eat than the surveys that are currently used. To meet the goal, the investigators will do three things. First, the investigators will feed study participants known amounts of foods and nutrients. Second, after study participants have eaten the food, the investigators will measure stable isotopes in samples of study participants' blood, hair, and fingernails. Third, the investigators will determine how well these samples reflect what was eaten. The investigators will also give surveys to study participants to determine how well the surveys reflect what was eaten. This will allow the investigators to do a relative comparison of the measurements from isotopes and surveys.
NCT07305753
The aim of this study is to develop a dataset with reference body composition measurements using criterion methods. This dataset will be used to develop new protocols to study patients with cancer. Obtaining measurements of sodium bromide (NaBr), deuterium dilution (D2O), and D3-Creatine in a stratified sample of adults will determine the accuracy (and precision) of the available devices for ECW, TBW, and skeletal muscle mass measurements.
NCT07301112
With the third wave of the Transitions and Old Age Potential (TOP) study, the longitudinal study of initially 5,002 individuals was completed in 2019. Initial findings were published in 2020 through a brochure, policy brief, and methodological report, and presented publicly. The third wave produced two datasets: a panel of 1,561 individuals surveyed across all three waves (2013, 2015/16, 2019) and a couple datasets with 576 complete interviews. Additional data sources such as DEAS, FWS, and SHARE complement the analyses. In 2021, efforts centered on preparing scientific articles for peer-reviewed journals and archiving the third wave at GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, concluding the study that ran from 2011 to 2021.

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a physical attribute which represents how effectively various bodily systems work together to transport and utilize oxygen to support muscular activity during prolonged, rhythmic, large-muscle, whole-body exercise. A key element associated with physical fitness is VO2max, which is referred to as cardiorespiratory fitness. Queen's college step test will be used to estimate the VO2max. This study will be cross sectional, normative study. Healthy adults aged 18-65 years from community setting will be recruited through non probability convenient sampling technique to collect data as per inclusion criteria. Sample size will be approximately 800, consist of equal ratio of males and females. Heart Rate, Recovery Heart Rate, VO2 max and METS will be calculated of each subject. Following equation is used to calculate VO2max, for females: VO2max = 65.81- \[0.1847× HR\] for males: VO2max = 111.33- \[0.42× HR\]. Data analysis will be conducted by using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 28.

NCT06811545
The goal of this study is to see if gentle electrical stimulation can help children with cerebral palsy (CP) walk more easily. This stimulation, called neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), sends small pulses to muscles to help them activate. Researchers will test different ways of using NMES to find out which method works best. Participants will walk on a treadmill at a comfortable speed while NMES is applied to leg muscles. The study will compare different stimulation settings to see which one helps the most.

NCT07130825
The main aim of this biomedical study is to determine the effect of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, before and after an 8-hour workday and a combined work model, on the performance and efficiency of cognitive functions during mental work. There are lack of previous studies analysing the effects of different physical activity strategies on cognitive efficiency and investigating mental fatigue resistance. Limited research in this area shows that the mechanism of the effect of physical activity on mental fatigue resistance is still unclear. This research will aim to investigate different physical activity strategies, such as combined work model and moderate intensity physical activity before and after office workday, and their impact on a mental and emotional fatigue, cognitive efficiency, sympathetic and parasympathetic systems and metabolic indicators during mentally demanding 8 h workday.
