Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the physiological and psychological effects of the weight loss by determining the weight loss methods commonly used by taekwondo athletes. Of the questionnaires evaluated, 107 belonged to female taekwondo athletes and 195 belonged to male taekwondo athletes. The arithmetic average, standard deviation and percent frequency (%) distributions of the obtained data were calculated. It was determined that the; first weight loss age for the competition is 15,66±3,84(kg) in males and 15,95±3,16(kg) in females; the highest weight loss rate before the competition is 4,52±2,77 (kg) in males and 4,40±5,36 (kg) in females. It was stated that 30.3% of male athletes and 41.1% of female athletes start to lose weight 3-4 weeks before the competition, that male and female athletes prefer the diet method most frequently as a rapid weight loss method and 21.5% of athletes who use the weight loss method with fluid loss prefer to run with raincoat. The athletes do not use ergogenic aids and the frequency percentage of physiological (muscle cramps, body temperature increase, heart throb, dyspnea, injury) and psychological (excessive nervousness, low performance due to high fatigue, stress) adverse effects of fast weight loss is very low.Conclusion: Unlike other martial athletes, it has been determined that Taekwondo athletes do not start to lose weight at an early age and that the majority of them try to reach the weight they want by applying the diet method among rapid weight loss methods in a very short time before the competition.

Abstract:

Gastric banding (GB) is considered an option to support weight loss for individuals who are unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. Exercise is an important element of maintaining gradual weight loss following GB. Dog walking may be one method to encourage exercise and contribute to continued weight loss. Over a 5-year period, 24 individuals aged between 31 and 58 years (21 female; 12 dog-owners) were weighed at 7 time points. Intention to treat MANOVA analysis showed both groups lost a significant amount of weight, F(6, 17) = 15.7, P = .001, ηp2 = .85, but no difference was observed between dog owners and non–dog owners, F(6, 17) = 0.66, P = .68, ηp2 = .19, although from 24 months postbanding, data indicated dog owners appear to weigh less than non–dog owners. Further longitudinal research is warranted beyond 5 year post-GB; and encouraging exercise through dog walking may be a useful adjunct to increasing activity and promoting weight loss following GB.

Abstract:

Martial athletes use the rapid weight loss (RWL) method as a strategy to lose weight quickly before competing. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of the magnitude of the impact of the RWL method used as a way to lose weight by running using a sauna suit on the physical, physiological, psychological, and performance conditions of martial athletes. The population in this study were martial arts athletes throughout Indonesia. This study uses a descriptive method by collecting data through a questionnaire instrument on google Forms which is distributed to martial athletes, especially in the fighting class. The results of the identification through the instrument were then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results n this study were 88 martial arts athletes using the weight loss method by running using a sauna suit. The impact that occurred on athletes all experienced more than one impact of RWL on the athlete's physical condition, physiological, psychological, and performance of martial athletes which included athletes experiencing 19% of martial arts athletes experiencing muscle cramps, 26% of athletes' body temperature increasing, 7% increasing heart rate, 1% athletes experience dyspnea, 3% athletes experience injuries, 8% athletes feel irritable/increased temperament, 49% athletes experience increased fatigue, 16% athletes experience decreased performance, 9% athletes experience stress, and 17% athletes feel their sports interest is reduced.

Abstract:

Background: Nowadays there are multiple conservative treatments, medical and alternative for weight loss, with high failure levels in patients with obesity. The history of variability, effectiveness, and diversity of such treatments has been poorly explored in candidates to bariatric surgery, particularly in Latin America, where high rates of overweight and obesity are found.Methods: Cross-sectional study in a single center, where a questionnaire was given to all patients who presented for bariatric surgery evaluation. The primary objective was to identify the dietary history and methods used for weight loss in patients with obesity, focusing in the diet type/method, length, effectiveness, and weight regain. Also, a basal anthropometric/demographic analysis, and type of method used (diet, medications, homeopathy, supplements, and alternative therapies) was performed.Results: 400 questionnaires were evaluated, from which the average age was 40.2 years, 79.5% representing female sex, and an average weight of 114.8 kg. Childhood obesity was reported in 38%. 64.5% used among 1-5 methods to lose weight historically, but 74.7% never associated physical activity. Supervised diet (with and without medication) was the most effective method (44% of cases used medication); however, they were discontinued in 50.5% due to adverse effects.Conclusions: The use of a diet or alternative treatments, with or without medications, have shown poor weight loss and minimum durability. The use of medication is very common, but most people discontinue their use due to adverse effects events.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Pathological obesity seriously endangers human health. OBJECTIVES: A multi index evaluation method of pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise based on telemedicine monitoring is proposed to evaluate the pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise by using telemedicine monitoring system. METHODS: According to the indexes of aerobic exercise affecting weight loss effect, a multi index evaluation system of pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise was established. The medical sensor of the telemedicine monitoring system is used to collect the index data in the multi index evaluation system of pathological obese personnel. The medical sensor uses the wireless node to transmit the collected data to the remote monitoring center. The evaluation module of the remote monitoring center uses the collected data and selects the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise. RESULTS: The experimental results show that this method can effectively use the telemedicine monitoring system to collect the physiological parameters of pathological obese people, and use the parameter collection results to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise on pathological weight loss. CONCLUSION: The proposed methods can provide basis for human aerobic exercise pathological weight loss.

Abstract:

Background: Obesity contributes to negative outcomes in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Little is known about the body-weight goals and trends among patients with PAD. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore self-reported body-weight trends and methods used to achieve weight loss in patients with PAD. Methods: Data from the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was utilized to compare individuals with PAD who were overweight and obese ( n = 240), to matched individuals without PAD ( n = 480). Self-reported body weight at age 25 years, 10 years prior and 1 year prior to the current assessment, and age and weight of heaviest body weight were compared. Self-reported weight-loss techniques during the past year were compared between groups. Results: Individuals with PAD and controls reported similar weights 10 years prior (79.2 kg vs 78.5 kg; p = 0.60) and weight gain over the last 10 years of 5.7 kg. There was no significant difference in reported body weight at age 25 years, 10 years prior, 1 year prior, or heaviest weight. Compared with the control group, fewer participants with PAD reported attempted weight loss in the last year (27.50% vs 36.04%; p = 0.02) and were half as likely to report utilizing exercise as a weight-loss method (12.5% vs 21.7%; p = 0.003). Conclusions: These data indicate that those with PAD are less inclined to attempt weight loss, especially through means of increased physical activity. Future research is needed regarding the effectiveness of intentional weight-loss programs in this population.

AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this paper is to describe recent weight changes and weight loss practices in the EU, and in particular to describe the group of subjects who were in a recent state of weight gain.Design and subjectsOverall, 15 239 adults aged 15 years and upwards composed of 1000 from each EU member state were selected to complete the interview-assisted face-to-face questionnaire. In each member state, sample selection was quota-controlled to ensure national representativeness.ResultsThis survey points to a fairly alarming tendency of more normal weight, overweight or obese European people being in a state of weight gain rather than weight loss. But it is also worrying that almost a fifth of underweight people are in the process of losing more weight. The recommendations for interventions to promote weight loss might be somewhat different between countries in the EU as the common weight loss practices differ between such countries. Overall, a campaign alone may not be effective in encouraging people to do more physical activity in Europe. Additional methods should be found. Furthermore, a combination of diet and exercise as a method of weight control is underestimated or undervalued by the general population who are either overweight or obese.

Abstract:

Corrosion ratio is an important index to study the mechanical deteriorates of the steel bars, which has a significant effect to evaluate the residual bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures. To investigate the mechanical properties of the corroded steel bars, Strain energy loss as corrosion ratio is firstly proposed. Tensile test are conducted on ribbed and plain steels, which are corroded by acceleration corrosion method. Comparing with the weight loss and cross-section loss to describe the effect of corrosion of reinforcing bar, the strain energy loss of reinforcing bars is calculated by Simpson quadrature. Results from this paper and other researchers’ test suggest that the strain energy loss may be a better parameter than weight loss or section loss which to assess the corroded steel bars.

Abstract:

Background: Prevalence of dehydration as a method of rapid weight loss (RWL) and related risks point to the necessity of knowledge assessment in young powerlifters in this regard. The aim of this study was to assess practices and knowledge about RWL methods and their potential detrimental effects on health in young powerlifters. Materials and methods: A diagnostic poll was carried out among the participants (n=98) of sub-junior Polish championships (14 – 18 years), in two subgroups: G1 – weight classes up to 75 kg (n=50) and G2 – weight classes above 75 kg (n=48). Results: Dehydration was most frequently indicated by young powerlifters as a method of body weight reduction in young powerlifters whereas diuretics, potentially hazardous to health, were the most popular supplement. Conclusions: Despite popular belief that extreme RWL methods are most prevalent in lighter weight classes, athletes of higher weight classes more frequently indicated the methods with high risk of dehydration. Among young powerlifters, knowledge of the consequences of RWL is inadequate.

Full text

Abstract:

Introduction: The control and prevention of lead exposure are widely discussed topics that seem to be current health concerns for the next decades. Ingestion of lead into the human body can cause toxicity which can be acute or chronic. Possible sources of lead exposure can be, among others, water, food, drugs, and food supplements. The lead content in drugs is a strictly controlled parameter worldwide. The different Pharmacopoeias (European, British, USA) provide information about the limits for lead in every drug substance and also about the tests that should be performed. Regulation of food supplements does not require obligatory analytical control. Often, these products are not monitored to ensure the quality. At the same time, during the last two decades, the global use of dietary supplements has increased manifold. Aim: This study aimed to analyse the presence of lead in food supplements used for weight control. Materials and methods: We have analysed 30 different samples of food supplements for lead content. These supplements are all sold as weight loss products. The method of analysis consists of determination the lead concentration in food supplements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Results: We found that 4 of the analysed samples provide a lead intake of between 2.339 and 2.88 μg per day. The lead content in the other 26 samples was not significant. Conclusions: The regulation of food supplements is rather liberal and loose. Often the exact amount of the main ingredients is not properly labeled and the purity of these products is not controlled. Food supplements are used by consumers of different ages and with different medical conditions. Our recommendation is that the lead content should be obligatorily monitored and indicated on the label of every food supplement. This would be especially useful for the prevention and control of lead exposure worldwide.

Abstract:

A method is described for rapidly determining the extent of cold injury to Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedling root systems. It is based upon pressure:volume theory but short-cuts the tedious pressure:volume method. Injured root systems were brought to full hydration, then weighed and placed into a pressure chamber. A pressure of 1.5 MPa was applied for a 5-min period, then the root system was removed from the chamber and reweighed. The percent weight loss was then calculated. Percent weight loss was closely related to degree of low temperature exposure in Douglas-fir seedling roots. Percent weight loss values were near 5 in uninjured controls, whereas freeze-injured seedlings had percent weight loss values of 7 or greater. Percent weight loss values measured on seedlings just before planting were closely correlated with seedling vigor and mortality 3 months following planting in both a field test and a greenhouse pot trial.

Abstract:

The real world is full of noisy labels that lead neural networks to perform poorly because deep neural networks (DNNs) are prone to overfitting label noise. Noise label training is a challenging problem relating to weakly supervised learning. The most advanced existing methods mainly adopt a small loss sample selection strategy, such as selecting the small loss part of the sample for network model training. However, the previous literature stopped here, neglecting the performance of the small loss sample selection strategy while training the DNNs, as well as the performance of different stages, and the performance of the collaborative learning of the two networks from disagreement to an agreement, and making a second classification based on this. We train the network using a comparative learning method. Specifically, a small loss sample selection strategy with dynamic weight is designed. This strategy increases the proportion of agreement based on network predictions, gradually reduces the weight of the complex sample, and increases the weight of the pure sample at the same time. A large number of experiments verify the superiority of our method.

Abstract:

Objective The National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) reduces diabetes incidence and associated medical costs but is typically staffing-intensive, limiting scalability. We evaluated an alternative delivery method with 3933 members of a program powered by conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) called Lark DPP that has full recognition from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Methods We compared weight loss maintenance at 12 months between two groups: 1) CDC qualifiers who completed ≥4 educational lessons over 9 months (n = 191) and 2) non-qualifiers who did not complete the required CDC lessons but provided weigh-ins at 12 months (n = 223). For a secondary aim, we removed the requirement for a 12-month weight and used logistic regression to investigate predictors of weight nadir in 3148 members. Results CDC qualifiers maintained greater weight loss at 12 months than non-qualifiers (M = 5.3%, SE = .8 vs. M = 3.3%, SE = .8; p = .015), with 40% achieving ≥5%. The weight nadir of 3148 members was 4.2% (SE = .1), with 35% achieving ≥5%. Male sex ( β = .11; P = .009), weeks with ≥2 weigh-ins ( β = .68; P < .0001), and days with an AI-powered coaching exchange ( β = .43; P < .0001) were associated with a greater likelihood of achieving ≥5% weight loss. Conclusions An AI-powered DPP facilitated weight loss and maintenance commensurate with outcomes of other digital and in-person programs not powered by AI. Beyond CDC lesson completion, engaging with AI coaching and frequent weighing increased the likelihood of achieving ≥5% weight loss. An AI-powered program is an effective method to deliver the DPP in a scalable, resource-efficient manner to keep pace with the prediabetes epidemic.

Abstract: Introduction: Unrealistic expectations about weight goal and about weight loss-related benefits can hinder the effort for a successful long-term weight control. Aim: To explore weight loss-related goals and their background among overweight/obese patients. Method: Study sample consisted of patients who participated in the inpatient weight loss treatment in the Lipidological Department of Szent Imre Hospital (n = 339, 19% men). Mean age: 50.2 years (SD = 13.47 years), mean BMI: 38.6 (SD = 7.58). Measures: self-reported anthropometric data, type and number of treated illnesses, Goals and Relative Weights Questionnaire, Motivations for Weight Loss Scale, Body Shape Questionnaire. Results: Participants would feel disappointed with a possible 10% weight loss in a half-year time span. The acceptable weight loss percentage was higher among women, younger participants and among those who had more excess weight. Motivation regarding the increase in social desirability by weight loss is in association with body dissatisfaction, health related motivation is in association with the number of treated illnesses. Conclusions: Our results are contributing to the understanding of motivational factors behind weight reduction efforts, considering these can improve treatment success rates.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: The proposed HPTLC method combines features of the existing methods for (1) the detection of sibutramine and (2) for the detection of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors and analogs. Objective: The method permits effective screening for the presence of nine adulterants in finished products, including tablets, capsules, and “instant coffee” powders. Methods: All products were prepared for analysis using the same simple procedure: ultrasound-assisted extraction in methanol for 30 min followed by centrifugation or filtration. Results: The retardation factor (RF) values of individual zones afford preliminary identification of potential adulterants. Scanning densitometry enables comparison of recorded UV spectra with those of known standard compounds and provides further structural information. Conclusions: The method was successfully applied to 12 commercial products. Of those, nine products tested positive for at least one undeclared component.

Abstract:

Abstract Broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, pepper, and muskmelon were displayed (a) in direct sun, (b) in the sun under intermittent mist, (c) in the shade under intermittent mist, (d) in the shade, and (e) on ice at a simulated roadside market for 1-day intervals. In addition, some produce was precooled prior to display. Either ice or the shade under mist treatment was effective in reducing weight loss during display, particularly for broccoli and cauliflower. The prime factor involved in differences in weight loss among crops or between cultivars of the same crop seemed to be the surface area to volume ratio. Precooling prior to display slightly reduced the weight loss for cucumbers and muskmelons but had no effect on the other commodities.

Abstract:

The aim of this investigation is to optimize the process parameters to obtain minimum corrosion rate and weight loss of Al/SiCp metal matrix composites. A Taguchi based grey relation analysis was carried out. The process parameters such as number of hours dipped in 3% NaCl solution, vol.% of SiCp and aging at 170°C for hours were considered. The working range of each process parameters were fixed based on minimum weight loss and low corrosion rate. The test was carried out using Taguchi based grey relationship analysis. Three factor three level L9 orthogonal array was used and output responses such as weight loss and corrosion rate were calculated. Based on the grey relationship analysis, the rank of each process parameters was calculated. Based on the F value, the vol. % of SiCp (38.42%) on the metal matrix composite followed by number of hours samples immersed in 3% NaCl solution (35.3%) and aging at 170°C for hours (25.78%) were found as influencing parameters on corrosion rate and weight loss. The surface of corroded samples was investigated and reported.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background Individuals with overweight or obesity commonly underreport energy intake (EI), but it is unknown if the tendency to underreport persists in formerly obese individuals who lose significant weight and maintain their weight loss over long periods of time. Objective Assess the accuracy of self-reported EI in successful weight loss maintainers (WLM) compared with controls of normal body weight (NC) and controls with overweight/obesity (OC). Methods Participants for this case-controlled study were recruited in 3 groups: WLM [n = 26, BMI (in kg/m2) 24.1 ± 2.3; maintaining ≥13.6 kg weight loss for ≥1 y], NC (n = 33, BMI 22.7 ± 1.9; similar to current BMI of WLM), and OC (n = 32, BMI 34.0 ± 4.6; similar to pre–weight loss BMI of WLM). Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) was measured over 7 d using the doubly labeled water (DLW) method, and self-reported EI was concurrently measured from 3-d diet diaries. DLW TDEE and self-reported EI were compared to determine accuracy of self-reported EI. Results WLM underreported EI (median, interquartile range) (–605, –915 to –314 kcal/d) to a greater degree than NC (–308, –471 to –68 kcal/d; P < 0.01) but not more than OC (–310, –970 to 18 kcal/d; P = 0.21). WLM also showed a greater degree of relative underreporting (–25.3%, –32.9% to –12.5%) compared with NC (–14.3%, –19.6% to –3.1%; P = 0.02) but not OC (–11.2%, –34.1% to –0.7%; P = 0.16). A greater proportion of WLM was classified as underreporters (30.8%) than NC (9.1%; P = 0.05) but not OC (28.1%; P = 1.00). Conclusions WLM underreported EI in both absolute and relative terms to a greater extent than NC but not OC. These findings call into question the accuracy of self-reported EI in WLM published in previous studies and align with recent data suggesting that WLM rely less on chronic EI restriction and more on high levels of physical activity to maintain weight loss. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03422380.

Abstract:

Low-altitude atmospheric ducts are abnormal atmospheric phenomena in the troposphere, impacting the operation of microwave or ultrashort wave radio systems. Therefore, the real-time acquisition of low-altitude atmospheric duct parameters is essential to ensure the successful operation of radio systems. Remote sensing methods based on deep learning are, presently, the most important tools to infer duct parameters. In a traditional deep learning loss function, different duct parameters adopt the same weight coefficient. This study establishes a weight loss function and proposes a method for determining the weight coefficient based on the extended Fourier amplitude sensitivity test method. Based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) occultation signals, the cooperative inversion model of atmospheric duct parameters is established. Test results show that our proposed loss function was feasible, effective, and yielded a higher inversion accuracy than the traditional loss function.

Abstract:

Healthcare providers typically use an infant’s weight loss in the first days of life as a measurement of effective feeding. Additional feeding volumes are often recommended when the infant reaches weight loss of seven to ten percent of their birth weight. This study examined the relationship of the amount of maternal intravenous fluids (IV) given during labor, and infant maximum weight loss during hospital admission. The method was a retrospective cross-sectional review of medical records for 186 healthy mothers and their infants who delivered at a Baby Friendly™ certified hospital in southwest Ohio. Maternal average IV mL per hour positively correlated with infant maximum weight loss.
