College students, especially females, gain weight their freshman year. Yet, what happens after this first year? This study’s purposes were to compare changes and rates of change in weight, body mass index (BMI), body composition (percent body fat, fat mass, fat free mass) and waist circumference between the freshman academic year and the following summer among female college students. Summer we...

Mrs. S. is a 37-year-old Caucasian female who sought care at her home institution overseas during a period of several months for complaints of esophageal reflux, constipation, early satiety, increasing abdominal girth, and fatigue. Upon presentation at her home institution, her weight was 237 pounds, with a body mass index (BMI) of 42.77 kg/m2. Nutritional consultation was obtained to facilitat...

The objective of this study was to evaluate productive, nutritional, and economic traits in lactating cows on pasture fed diets with different cation-anion balances (DCAB). Ten ¾ Holstein × ¼ Dairy Gyr the middle third lactation, at an average age 70 ± 4.6 months body weight 400 55.2 kg, were distributed into five treatments a 5 Latin square experimental design two simultaneous squares.

BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI) is an established risk factor for colon cancer, but risks may differ between genders and colon subsites. Moreover, whether weight change influences risk is not yet clarified. We investigated these issues in a large, Norwegian, population-based cohort study. METHODS Participants' weight was measured at examinations up to three times between 1974 and 1988. Hazar...

Dopamine D(3) receptor partial agonism has been suggested as a potential therapeutic intervention in cocaine addiction. RGH-237 [N-{4-[4-(3-aminocarbonyl-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-butyl}-4-bromo-benzamide] was identified as a novel selective dopamine D(3) receptor partial agonist and used for testing this hypothesis in animal models. The compound showed nanomolar affinity to human (K(i) = 6.7 nM)...

Importance Effective long-term treatments are needed to address the obesity epidemic. Numerous wearable technologies specific to physical activity and diet are available, but it is unclear if these are effective at improving weight loss. Objective To test the hypothesis that, compared with a standard behavioral weight loss intervention (standard intervention), a technology-enhanced weight los...
