Filter by:To investigate two cafeteria-based methods of weight gain prevention in overweight men and women.
To develop a culturally tailored intervention intended to promote adherence to nutrition and physical activity regimens designed to result in weight loss for African American women.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the efficacy of five tailored DVDs in reducing exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) among low income pregnant/postpartum women.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ramipril and/or rosiglitazone retard the progression of atherosclerosis as evaluated by serial carotid intermedial thickness measurements.
The purpose of this study is to develop and field test a maintenance of smoking abstinence program designed for a predominately low-income, high-risk population of women from a wide variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds who have quit smoking because of (or during) their pregnancy.
The study has two objectives/aims: Aim 1: To test the efficacy of the intervention among adult smokers with cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease and diabetes mellitus related illnesses (later modified to Chinese adults with and without diseases); and Aim 2: To examine a set of measures (background, general health, psychosocial, and smoking process) that are associated with smoking cessation at 6 and 12 months
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of two organizational interventions aimed at improving blood pressure (BP) control among a high-risk, African American home care population.
A number of major clinical trials have demonstrated the clinical benefits of lowering blood pressure and have indicated that a majority of patients with hypertension will require more than one drug to achieve optimal blood pressure control. There is little data showing which antihypertensive combination best protects patients from cardiovascular events and which best achieves the target blood pressure with the fewest adverse events. The COPE trial is planned to investigate, in patients with hypertension, which combination of the antihypertensive drugs, angiotensin receptor blockers, β-blockers or thiazide diuretics in addition to a long-acting calcium antagonist, benidipine hydrochloride, is superior to achieve the targeted blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular events with the fewest adverse drug effects.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether high-dose angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) monotherapy or combination therapy with ARB and calcium channel blockers is more effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events in Japanese elderly high-risk hypertensive patients not adequately controlled by standard dose ARB alone.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of aortic stent surgery versus exercise therapy in individuals with aortoiliac insufficiency.
