The Effects of Time-Restricted Eating versus Standard Dietary Advice on Weight, Metabolic Health and the Consumption of Processed Food: A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial in Community-Based Adults

Weight loss is key to controlling the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components, i.e., central obesity, hypertension, prediabetes and dyslipidaemia. The goals of our study were two-fold. First, we characterised the relationships b ...

Contactless Sleep Monitoring for Early Detection of Health Deteriorations in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Exploratory Study

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Philipp Buluschek, Bruno Pais

Background: Population aging is posing multiple social and economic challenges to society. One such challenge is the social and economic burden related to increased health care expenditure caused by early institutionalizations. The use of modern pervasive ...

Human biases in body measurement estimation

Robert West, Venkata Rama Kiran Garimella

Body measurements, including weight and height, are key indicators of health. Being able to visually assess body measurements reliably is a step towards increased awareness of overweight and obesity and is thus important for public health. Nevertheless it ...

Obesity Impairs Short-Term and Working Memory through Gut Microbial Metabolism of Aromatic Amino Acids

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

The gut microbiome has been linked to fear extinction learning in animal models. Here, we aimed to explore the gut microbiome and memory domains according to obesity status. A specific microbiome profile associated with short-term memory, working memory, a ...

Genome-wide gene-based analyses of weight loss interventions identify a potential role for NKX6.3 in metabolism

Patrick Descombes, Hélène Ruffieux, Sylviane Métairon, Jörg Hager, Nele Gheldof

Hundreds of genetic variants have been associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using observational cohorts. However, the genetic contribution to efficient weight loss in response to dietary intervention remains ...

Signal Processing Approaches for Cardio-Respiratory Biosignals with an Emphasis on Mobile Health Applications

Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi

We humans are constantly preoccupied with our health and physiological status. From precise measurements such as the 12-lead electrocardiograms recorded in hospitals, we have moved on to mobile acquisition devices, now as versatile as smart-watches and sma ...

Impact of HSD11B1 polymorphisms on BMI and components of the metabolic syndrome in patients receiving psychotropic treatments

Pierre Magistretti, Murielle Bochud, Aurélie Delacrétaz

Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with psychiatric disorders and psychotropic treatments represents a major health issue. 11 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1) is an enzyme that catalyzes tissue regeneration of active cor ...

Sleep Apnea Detection using Features from the Respiration and the ECG recorded with Smart-Shirts

Jean-Marc Vesin, Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Andréa Buttu, Grégoire Millet, Sibylle Fallet

The automatic detection of sleep apnea episodes, without the need of polysomnography and outside a clinical facility, could help facilitate the diagnosis of this disorder. In this work, features to detect sleep apnea events were computed from respiration a ...

The effect of continuous positive airway pressure on total cerebral blood flow in healthy awake volunteers

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bryn Andrew Martin

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. However, the physiologic impact of CPAP on cerebral blood flow (CBF) is not well established. Ultrasound can be used to estimate CBF, but there is no wid ...

Functional characterization of the SAS-4-related protein CPAP in centrosome biology of human cells

Gregor Kohlmaier

The centrosome is an organelle that resides at the center of most animal cells and comprises two microtubule-based centriole cylinders surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). The centrosome plays a fundamental role for nucleating and organizing a radi ...
