RAPID WEIGHT LOSS DICTIONARY 57 INDEX 77

Trang 10

In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number

of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1

Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can

be wasted searching, selecting, and printing Since only the smallest fraction of information

dealing with rapid weight loss is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or

others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about rapid weight loss, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so

In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related

to rapid weight loss, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date

on rapid weight loss Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary

research results via the Internet While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when

some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to rapid weight loss, these are noted in the text

E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated) If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser You may find

it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases

NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional However, some links

may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet

For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on rapid weight loss

The Combined Health Information Database

The Combined Health Information Database summarizes studies across numerous federal agencies To limit your investigation to research studies and rapid weight loss, you will need

to use the advanced search options First, go to http://chid.nih.gov/index.html From there,

select the “Detailed Search” option (or go directly to that page with the following hyperlink:

http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html) The trick in extracting studies is found in the drop

boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Journal Article.” At the top of the search form, select the number of records you would like to see (we recommend 100) and check the box to display “whole records.” We recommend that you type “rapid weight loss” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box Consider using the option “anywhere in record” to make your search as broad as possible If you want to limit the search to only a particular field, such as the title of the journal, then select this option in the “Search in these fields” drop box The following is what you can expect from this type of search:

Summary: This article reviews the risks and consequences of rapid weight loss that occurs among athletes competing in sports that have weight classifications By competing in the lowest possible weight class, the athletes aim for a strength and leverage advantage over their smaller opponents Many resort to drastic measures to drop weight temporarily and quickly before each competition This up-and-down weight cycle is repeated before each competition and may occur more than 10 times in a season The article describes the potential negative effects of weight cutting on an

athlete's health and performance, including dehydration and depleted energy reserves and lean body mass Rapid weight loss may also alter hormonal status, impede normal growth and development, slow resting metabolic rate, affect psychological state and cognitive function, impair academic performance, and have more severe consequences such as pulmonary emboli, pancreatitis, and reduced immune function The article also reviews the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommendations to limit damaging weight-cutting practices in wrestling Suggestions for maximizing recovery in athletes who participate in rapid weight loss practices are discussed The article concludes that the negative health and performance effects associated with rapid weight loss can be reduced with expert advice on an athlete's minimal competition weight, reasonable guidelines for achieving this weight goal, and practical tips for maximizing recovery between the weigh-in and competition

Federally Funded Research on Rapid Weight Loss

The U.S Government supports a variety of research studies relating to rapid weight loss These studies are tracked by the Office of Extramural Research at the National Institutes of Health.2 CRISP (Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) is a searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other institutions

Search the CRISP Web site at http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/crisp_query.generate_screen

You will have the option to perform targeted searches by various criteria, including geography, date, and topics related to rapid weight loss

For most of the studies, the agencies reporting into CRISP provide summaries or abstracts

As opposed to clinical trial research using patients, many federally funded studies use animals or simulated models to explore rapid weight loss The following is typical of the type of information found when searching the CRISP database for rapid weight loss:

• Project Title: BARIATRIC SURGERY RESEARCH CONSORTIUM

Principal Investigator & Institution: Flum, David R.; Surgery; University of Washington Seattle, Wa 98195

Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 30-SEP-2003; Project End 31-AUG-2008

Summary: (provided by applicant): Bariatric procedures offer sustained and significant weight reduction with the potential to effect general patient health, comorbid conditions, quality of life and the healthcare system A Bariatric Surgery Clinical Research Consortium (BSCRC) wilt provide important prospective information about the true impact of the procedure on patients and opportunities to better explore the physiologic mechanisms that result in post-surgical weight loss The BSCRC will prospectively collect clinical, demographic, epidemiological, laboratory and histological information In addition to this database the BSCRC will complete the following studies:

1 A cross-sectional examination of the epidemiology of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients undergoing bariatric surgery and a prospective evaluation of the effect of surgically induced weight loss on the severity NASH and cellular markers of

cytotoxic activity There is a need for epidemiologic information about the prevalence, risk factors for, and impact of fatty liver disease in patients undergoing bariatric surgery We propose a study to evaluate liver histology in a large group of patients undergoing bariatric procedures Patients with evidence of NASH by biopsy will

undergo subsequent liver biopsy at one year to determine if NASH improves with rapid

weight loss Patients with NASH who improve after weight loss represent an important

model for evaluating the cellular mechanisms that are involved in the development of NASH This study will evaluate markers of oxidative stress and hepatic mitochondrial structure to determine their relationship to NASH during and after rapid, surgical weight loss 2 A prospective evaluation of the relationship between ghrelin, PYY3-36, appetite and weight loss outcomes after gastric bypass Ghrelin and PYY3-36 are gut-derived peptides that are involved in energy homeostasis principally through their effect on appetite We propose a prospective study to determine the relationship of ghrelin and weight loss after gastric bypass and to determine if the degree of ghrelin suppression is correlated to hunger suppression and/or the amount of weight lost This study will determine if inclusion of ghrelin producing cells in the gastric pouch is correlated to worsened weight loss outcomes Lastly the study will begin to evaluate the relationship of PYY3-36 and ghrelin and determine if it is altered by or in response to the physiologic changes associated with gastric bypass

Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 01-MAY-2001; Project End 31-MAR-2003

Summary: (APPLICANT'S ABSTRACT): Low-carbohydrate, high-fat, high-protein diets promoted by books, the Internet and other media are among the most enduring weight-loss diets in the US and Europe The public favors these diets because they include popular energy-rich foods like meat and cheese while at the same time promising to

produce rapid weight loss Without an evidence-based understanding the consequences

of these diets, health care providers may find it difficult to evaluate these diets in advising clients who are choosing to use them to reduce weight in large numbers The goal of this pilot project is to establish methodology for studying these diets in a clinical trial setting A group of 24 overweight participants with BMIs between 27 and 39.9 Kg/m~ will be studied in a parallel group design for six weeks of controlled feeding and six weeks of follow-up After screening, participants will be allocated to either a low-carbohydrate diet similar to the one marketed by Dr Robert Atkins, or to an energy-matched, high carbohydrate, low fat diet similar to the combination diet used in the DASH study for six weeks Participants will receive all foods and beverages in the General Clinical Research Center at Oregon Health Sciences University during the controlled feeding phase Participants will first consume a standard American diet for one week to stabilize their energy requirements and acclimate to the demands of the study This run-in week will be followed by a six-week period when participants consume either the Atkins diet or the DASH diet Follow-up consists of following these same diets in the home setting for an additional six weeks Measures of interest include markers of oxidative damage, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk (lipids, blood pressure insulin, glucose), bone health, energy expenditure, substrate utilization and body composition We will also conduct focus groups and individual interviews during the period when participants follow these diets at home to gain an understanding of how

these diets affect the quality of their lives This study will provide us with many tools to evaluate a variety of ways that low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets affect adherence, body weight and body composition, energy metabolism, and several markers of chronic diseases which may be affected by the altered nutrient intake It will provide insights as

to the nature of these changes, the time course of the changes, and variability of these measures We will use information gained in this pilot study to design more comprehensive studies that evaluate these alternative diets in a more rigorous fashion Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen

The National Library of Medicine: PubMed

One of the quickest and most comprehensive ways to find academic studies in both English and other languages is to use PubMed, maintained by the National Library of Medicine.3

The advantage of PubMed over previously mentioned sources is that it covers a greater number of domestic and foreign references It is also free to use If the publisher has a Web site that offers full text of its journals, PubMed will provide links to that site, as well as to sites offering other related data User registration, a subscription fee, or some other type of fee may be required to access the full text of articles in some journals

To generate your own bibliography of studies dealing with rapid weight loss, simply go to

the PubMed Web site at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed Type “rapid weight loss”

(or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” The following is the type of output you can expect from PubMed for rapid weight loss (hyperlinks lead to article summaries):

Source: CDF Newsletter 9(1): 12 Winter 1999

Contact: Available from Celiac Disease Foundation 13251 Ventura Blvd., Suite 1, Studio City, CA 91604-1838 (818) 990-2354 Fax (818) 990-2379 E-mail: cdf@celiac.org Website: www.celiac.org

Summary: In this brief newsletter article, the mother of a toddler diagnosed with celiac disease (CD) at 16 months of age describes their first year of learning about and living with CD The child had been sick for three months with all of the classic symptoms of

CD, including rapid weight loss, bloated belly, muscle wasting, and constant vomiting

The mother describes the emotional ups and downs that followed the accurate CD diagnosis, from guilt because the child had to live a different lifestyle to relief that the child could be healthy if she followed a gluten free diet The author notes that a difference between being a parent of a celiac child and being a celiac adult is that the parents must make the choices for the child, and they must be the correct ones, or the child will pay the price (in discomfort and potential long term complications) The author also encourages the celiac community to be its own advocate and to use a stronger voice in that advocacy
