Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about in a total of approximately 2000 patients with cardiovascular disease recruited from about 25 participating sites in China with eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or UACR>30 mg/g at least twice 3 months apart within the previous 12 months who had been hospitalized in the cardiology department within the previous 12 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To estimate the diagnosis rate of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD - To describe the CKD awareness and treatment pattern in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD. - To describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD Participants will be invited to undergo a baseline visit, and the demographics, lifestyle factors, clinical characteristics, and laboratory tests will be collected.
A brief survey for the public to determine interest in health surveillance and disease detection
In this study, we will prospectively recruit 100,000 individuals, including gastric cancer patients who have not undergone any anti-tumor treatment and non-gastric cancer participants. We will construct a diagnostic model for malignant tumors based on the combination of tongue imaging, tongue coating, saliva, and fecal multi-omics data (including metagenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.). Additionally, it will explore the relationship between oral and intestinal microbiota and the development of malignant tumors.
Multiple site studies with the recruitment of other sub-investigators and sites. It's sobering to consider how chronic illness makes us more vulnerable to suicidal thoughts and behavior. However, the existence of multiple risk factors also means that there are numerous ways to intervene. Addressing and improving even one risk area will reverberate and improve other areas and the quality of life. RIVER Foundation is completing a 500-participant pilot study researching the safety of oral and nasal ketamine at home with no therapy. The pilot study examined three psychological scales: P.H.Q. 9, G.A.D. 7, and PCL5 scores. The interim report will be available in Nov 2023 with a final report in June 2024. The lack of knowledge for the average medical practitioner makes ketamine a boutique medicine, often costly and unaffordable to those in need. Yet daily medical providers are eliminating ketamine as a choice in the treatment of chronic conditions. The pilot study demonstrated the who, and where. The who, was adults with a chronic condition. The pilot study demonstrated the majority of those who could use ketamine are not receiving it due to cost. According to the 500-participant study, ketamine is safe and effective for at-home use thus demonstrating the where (at home with no supervision).
With aging, brain aging leads to a general decline in cognitive ability, and the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) increases. The prevalence of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism also increased with age. The imbalance of glucose and lipid metabolism is closely related to brain aging related conditions and diseases, and the relationship between glucose and lipid metabolism and brain aging has not been fully elucidated. Phase 1: Baseline investigation (community-based survey) Aims: To investigate whether glucose and lipids are the risk factors for brain aging-related conditions, such as mild cognitive impairment. Subjects and Methods: A community-based survey will be carried out in 10000 natural population aged >=50 years selected from 10-12 communities stratified according to geographic regions (Ciyao, Huafeng, Dongzhuang, Heshan, Geshi, Jiangji, Gangcheng, Fushan, Dongshu, Sidian, Baxianqiao, and Xiangyin, etc) in Ningyang County, Taian City, Shandong Province. A comprehensive examination including questionnaire (including the MMSE and ADL evaluation for the participants), anthropometric measurements, biochemical analysis will be performed in each study participant. In particular, the investigators randomly selected 1000-2000 participants performing MRI of the brain to evaluate the brain aging related conditions. Phase 2: Cohort follow-up Aims : To examine glucose and lipids metabolism levels and their changes that modify the risk of brain aging-related conditions. Subjects and Methods: To recruit and follow all 10000 participants for at least 3-5 years. In particular, all 1000-2000 participants with the baseline MRI examination will perform the MRI examination again for the follow-up.
The goal of this single arm, open-label study is to learn about the efficacy of Minayo Iron-rich Yeast Drink with SOD on females who are aged 18-35 and suffer nutritional Anemia, skin condition and Qi-blood deficiency syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: - whether the serum ferritin level in blood is improved after the intervention 14 qualified participants will be enrolled to drink the product "Minayo Iron-rich Yeast Drink with SOD" for four weeks, once a day. Four site visits will be made for each participant so that all relevant clinical data will be captured and recorded for data analysis and reporting. Researchers will compare the final blood test result (hemoglobin concentration level, Glutathione (GSH), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)) against the baseline to conclude whether the product will be effective in improving Anemia and skin conditions.
The Pictou County Personal Empowerment Program is a comprehensive health promotion program aiming to improve the quality of life as well as both physical and mental health in Adults living with chronic medical conditions. The program includes daily email communications over 6 months that encourage a range of self-management and health promoting activities, including strength and aerobic exercise, yoga, stress reduction techniques, dietary improvements, relationship/intimacy education and more.
This is a prospective study that is the first to implement resect and discard and diagnose and leave strategies in real-time practice using stringent documentation and adjudication by 2 expert endoscopists as the gold standard. Therefore, this study mainly aims to evaluate the agreement between (CADx) assisted optical diagnosis and adjudication by two expert endoscopists in establishing surveillance intervals concordant with the European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and US Multisociety task force (USMSTF) guidelines.
This trial aims to evaluate the ADAPT Program in terms of efficacy, process and cost-efficacy compared to usual occupational therapy (UOT) in people with decreased ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) following chronic conditions. As both the ADAPT Program and UOT are targeted improvements in ADL ability, the primary objective of this trial is to assess equivalence between the ADAPT Program and UOT on changes in ADL ability as measured with the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS).
This study will look at the effects of amantadine on cognitive function in persons with Long COVID. It will also collect specimens to study possible causes of cognitive symptoms in Long COVID, and whether any lab tests can predict who will respond better to amantadine.
