In this prospective study we aim to find out whether an early refeeding strategy in addition to standard care can improve maternal and neonatal outcome and reduce hospital stay.
First part of study (Phase 1)Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of ileal brake activation, by ingestion of an encapsulated nutrient mixture delivered to the stomach (placebo) or distal small intestine (active) analysed by the amount of food consumed…
In previous studies, the chronic effect, up to 6 months, of the one gastric lead continuous stimulation was demonstrated resulting in an improvement in blood glucose levels. The present hypothesis is that this effect is mediated by either a…
Primary objective of this study is to assess changes in brain connectivity and activity in the Default Mode and Salience Network (hypothalamus, prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, Ventral Tegmental Area) after different sugars and sweeteners.
Primary objective:Effect of fecal transplantation (from healthy obese donors) on faecel microbiota composition in relation to satiety (questionnaires, biomarkers) and metabolism (REE ) in patients with metastasized or locally advanced oesophageal or…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between diet composition, meal timing, and meal frequency with cognitive performance in nurses during a night shift setting.Secondary objectives of this study are 1) to…
The current study aims to investigate the effect of a) caloric restriction (very low calorie diet (VLCD)); b) caloric restriction with mechanical restriction and physiological changes through malapsorption (Roux- en- Y bypass (RYGB) surgery); and c…
To describe the wound related complication rate in post-bariatric body contouring surgery patients who are treated according to a new guideline and assess the factors associated with a higher complication rate.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of energy expenditure and resting heart rate measurement.Secondary objectives include assessment of accuracy of other measures like sleep duration, steps counting, activity recognition…
We will investigate the effect of the combination of moderate physical activity and a standard meal on the onset of low grade intestinal ischemia. Will will use the serological biomarker I-FABP to determine the occurrence of low grade intestinal…
To investigate the impact of (a disrupted) circadian rhythm on food preferences and chemosensory perception.
Aim of this pilot study is to determine which intervention groups are feasible in a larger trial which aims to a compare postoperative pain and complication rates in moderate versus deep neuromuscular blockade, and normal versus low intra-abdominal…
Hypotheses: - Ileal delivery of casein and/or sucrose induces stronger effects on satiation compared to placebo- Ileal delivery of casein induces stronger effects on satiation than ileal fat delivery- Ileal delivery of sucrose induces stronger…
Based on the data available, Anamorelin HCl produces an increase in total body weight and Lean Body Mass in patients with advanced cancer, and specifically in patients with NSCLC, in addition to increasing muscle strength and improving quality of…
Primary: To investigate the effect on leg muscle mass in the test group compared to the control group in older obese type 2 diabetes patients after 13 weeks of interventionSecondary: - To investigate the effect on glycemic control in the test group…
To determine the effect of gastric bypass surgery on (alterations in) food preferences. Secondly, to assess the effect of gastric bypass surgery on the brain reward response when exposed to sight and smell of food stimuli with different sugar and…
In this study, we will test which of two feeding strategies for adults during chemotherapy-induced mucositis is optimal with regards to maintaining an optimal body weight, nutritional status, gut mucosal barrier and treatment outcome (including…
To determine whether pulmonary rehabilitation prior to bariatric surgery leads to improved and sustained asthma control (ACQ) as compared to bariatric surgery alone in patients with morbid obesity and not optimally controlled asthma.Secondary aims…
The primary objective of this study is to assess if cannabinoids modulate sweet taste intensity and liking.
Our primary objective is to compare pre-treatment with the standard low calorie diet with pre-treatment with supplemental omega-3 fatty acids on liver volume. Secondary objectives are patient satisfaction about different dietary pre-treatments, the…
