Dapagliflozin is the first SGLT2 inhibitor to be approved for CKD treatment regardless of diabetes status. Since many etiologies of non-diabetic nephropathy are characterized by intraglomerular hypertension, it was hypothesized that dapagliflozin acutely decreases GFR and proteinuria in patients without diabetes at risk of progressive kidney function loss such as nephrotic patients via a glucose independent hemodynamic mechanism. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of Dapagliflozin on proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate in non-diabetic patients with nephrotic syndrome in order to slow the decline in kidney function and the progression to ESRD and to prevent the complications of nephrotic syndrome like thrombotic diseases, peritonitis, hyperuricemia, and recurrent infections.
To exclude hypovolemia before starting off pump coronary artery grafting surgeries by an efficient and good predictive test. We will assess the sensitivity and specificity of dynamic IVC-derived parameters (dispensability index) in comparison to carotid Doppler peak velocity as predictors of fluid response before skin incision in patients undergoing off Pump cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a social needs screening and intervention protocol in the pediatric inpatient setting by conducting a pilot trial on a pediatric ward. The investigators' hypothesis is that it will be feasible and acceptable to implement a social needs screening and intervention protocol. The investigators will work with pediatric word healthcare team members to develop a social needs screening and intervention protocol. They will then compare preliminary health and social outcome measures between children hospitalized during the pre-intervention period (control group) vs. the post-intervention period (intervention group).
This is a prospective, monocentric, randomized trial to investigate how sodium chloride or its substitute potassium chloride acutely affects vascular function by ingestion via a salted soup. Furthermore we want to get insights on the pathophysiology by analyzing metabolism and cell function in relation to vascular reaction.
In recent years, high-frequency ultrasound, due to its higher resolution, can clearly display the superficial vascular structure and blood flow, and can detect vascular lesions early, providing a new non-invasive tool for clinical observation of the structure and blood flow of the extremity artery. The purpose of this multi-center study is to establish the normal value of high frequency ultrasound for the structure and blood flow of the extremity arteries of Chinese Han adults, and to explore the influencing factors, so as to provide a quantitative reference for the early diagnosis, degree evaluation and curative effect observation of the structure and blood flow of the extremities.
Sleep is essential for health and wellness. Sleep disruption can occur due to emotional stress, advancing age, hormonal imbalance, medications, and many other causes, some of which are presently unknown. Most pharmaceutical sleep products artificially induce sedation without providing quality sleep. Thus, a need exists for safe dietary supplement to promote and support healthy sleep that will encourage restful sleep. This study will examine the efficacy, tolerance, and safety of sleep supplement as compared to a placebo.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the impact of proactive outreach on enrollment into and utilization of the Flexible Services Nutrition Program. The Flexible Services Nutrition Program increases access to healthy foods for patients with Medicaid ACO insurance, food insecurity and nutritionally dependent chronic health conditions. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Does proactive outreach to eligible patients increase enrollment into the Medicaid ACO FLEX Nutrition Program, compared to usual care? - Does high intensity outreach (letter +phone calls) increase enrollment more than low intensity outreach (letter only)? The investigators will also conduct exploratory analyses to evaluate if proactive outreach has an effect on healthcare utilization (ED visits, unplanned hospitalizations, and outpatient no-show rate) and health outcomes (BMI for patients with overweight/obesity, a1c for patients with impaired fasting glucose/Diabetes, Blood Pressure for patients with Hypertension).
the effectiveness of task - oriented training with pretend play on gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
This is a single-arm clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided HIFU (Sonotrip V20) for symptomatic uterine fibroids. 57 cases will be enrolled at a Korean institution. Participants will undergo the HIFU procedure based on a pre-established plan using MRI images. Assessments will be conducted immediately post-procedure and at 4 and 24 weeks. Primary endpoint is fibroid volume reduction at 24 weeks, with secondary endpoints including Non-Perfused Volume Ratio, quality of life, hemoglobin change, pain assessment, and additional medication use. Adverse events will be monitored.
Biofeedback is a therapeutic paradigm that teaches patients how to gain awareness and control over previously unrecognized sympathetic changes such as body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. We propose to use a six session biofeedback protocol that includes heart-rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, respiration/relaxation training, and body temperature control to treat patients with unaddressed respiratory symptoms (e.g. shortness of breath) who are under the care of pulmonologists and have not responded to traditional biomedical approaches (e.g. inhalers, pulmonary rehab, etc.).
