The objective of this trial is to study the effects of omega-3 PUFA supplementation on the inflammatory response and lipid profile in patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy. Study Type: Interventional Study Design: A total 40 patients will be randomly assigned into two parallel groups. The intervention will be treatment with omega-3 PUFAs at a dose of 3 g/day for 8 weeks, compared to placebo (corn oil). The primary endpoints will be the concentrations of inflammatory markers (IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, IFN-γ, and TGF-β). Secondary endpoints will be the fasting glucose, lipid, and anthropometric profiles.
This study aims to examine the variation in muscle torque and discomfort produced when electrically stimulating quadriceps femoris using pulsed current with three different phase durations in order to establish whether there are any advantages or disadvantages in varying the phase duration over the range examined.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of green tea on body weight, waist circumference, metabolic profile, inflammation, blood pressure and endothelial function in obese pre-hypertensive women.
The purpose of this study is to compare subcutaneous Abatacept to placebo in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis
Evaluate the effect of chest manual compression technique (CCT) in the variables of oxygenation, hemodynamic and respiratory work in infants with respiratory diseases that are associated with atelectasis.
The dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and an angiotensin-receptor blocker used together in heart failure patients has been demonstrated to be beneficial. However, the dual inhibition has not been studied during heart failure decompensation or even when low cardiac output is present. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of add-on therapy with angiotensin receptor blocker on plasma B-type natriuretic peptide levels and hemodynamic measurements in heart failure patients with low cardiac output during hospitalization for decompensation. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
The aim of this study is to test a methodology of counseling on physical activity among Community Health Workers working within primary health care in Brazil.
There will be a randomized clinical trial, non-blind, 3-arm treatment (medical, surgical, gastric bypass and ileal transposition surgery with and sleeve), which will be conducted in a single center - S.B.S. Hospital Sirio Libanês, including 75 research subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity class I. In order to compare the effect of weight loss on glycemic control among medical and surgical groups, and after 2 years of follow up, the results of efficacy, safety and maintenance will be compared between the three groups.
