Hypothalamic obesity (HO) is defined as obesity secondary to impaired functioning of the hypothalamus nuclei, the central organ of energy and weight homeostasis. Among the causes of OH, there are those related to a hypothalamic lesion (lesional) such as craniopharyngioma (CP) or inflammatory
INTRODUCTION
Overweight and obesity represent a risk factor for hormone dependent cancers such as breast, endometrium, ovarian, uterine and gastrointestinal cancer.
In particular, overweight and obesity are risk factors for breast cancer in post-menopause women since they are associated to higher
BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE:
Obesity is common among persons with severe mental illness (SMI), especially those with bipolar disorder (BP) (1-5). It is estimated that 45-55% of people with SMI are obese, making obesity 1.5-2 times more common among those with SMI than among the general population.
Hypothesis A brief mindfulness-based educational program specifically designed for obese individuals will enable them to gain mastery over previously automatic eating and activity habits and will be associated with enhanced mood, decreased inflammation, improved metabolic markers and weight
Excessive weight gain and its cardiometabolic sequela are frequent complications of hypothalamic tumors, a condition known as hypothalamic obesity (HO). Most tumors in this region are craniopharyngiomas (CP),1 which constitute 5-9% of childhood brain tumors. Patients with CP typically become obese
Late-onset hypoventilation syndrome with hypothalamic dysfunction was first described in 1965 and renamed to ROHHAD syndrome in 2007 by Ize-Ludlow et al.
The hallmark of ROHHAD syndrome is rapid-onset obesity starting at approximately 1.5 years of age with weight gain of 12-20 kg/year, central
Baseline evaluation will include:
Sleep study and pulmonary evaluation Hormone levels Determination of up to 6 key ROHHAD-related symptoms to be followed Hyperphagia questionnaire 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scan Dual energy x-ray
Unhealthy behaviors such as overeating and a sedentary lifestyle are largely responsible for overweight and obesity which substantially increase risk for chronic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, arthritis and certain cancers. The rapid rise in obesity
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both[1]. Symptoms of marked hyperglycemia include polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, sometimes with polyphagia, and blurred vision.
The goal of this study is to determine the effects of CR on blood biomarkers (including serum levels of adipokines, cytokines, cortisol and T reg numbers) compared to standard therapies in MS patients during recovery from a relapse. Sixteen MS patients (body mass index-BMI ≥ 23) having an attack
WAGR syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies and mental retardation. The syndrome is caused by heterozygous contiguous gene deletions of variable size on chromosome 11, involving a region that encompasses more than 100 genes, many of which
Obesity is dramatically increasing in countries with so called western Lifestyle, whereby juveniles are affected in particular. Atherosclerosis, a major consequence of obesity, starts early in life and results in cardiovascular disease and stroke, the main causes of mortality in industrialized
Prader-Willi Syndrome and Obesity:
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder occurring in 1/10,000 to 1/15,000 live births. Clinical characteristics include neonatal and infantile central hypotonia with feeding problems and poor weight gain followed after 1-3 years by hyperphagia and
