Filter by:This project aims to study the benefits of probiotics namely Lactobacillus plantarum P8 for brain health properties, primarily alleviation of stress, among adults in Malaysia aged from 18 to 60 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oxytocin modulates the processing of stress-associated chemosignals and which substrates are involved.
This trial will study the impact of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (itraconazole) on the pharmacokinetics of bardoxolone methyl (RTA 402) in healthy adult subjects. This is an open-label, fixed-sequence crossover pharmacokinetic (PK) study in healthy volunteers. Subjects will complete a screening visit within 28 days of Study Day 1. Subjects must qualify for the study based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. For Period 1, all qualified subjects shall receive a single oral dose of bardoxolone methyl (10 mg) on Day 1. For Period 2, following a washout of 14 days, itraconazole (SPORANOX®) capsules (100 mg) will be administered as a 200-mg single daily dose on Study Days 15 through 27, with bardoxolone methyl (10 mg) administered on Day 18 (1 hour after itraconazole administration). Bardoxolone methyl doses will be administered under fasted conditions. Itraconazole will be administered under fed conditions on Study Days 15-17, and Study Days 19-27. On study Day 18, itraconazole will be administered under fasted conditions. Subjects will be confined beginning on Study Day -1 through the last blood sample collection on Study Day 9 during Period 1, and from Study Day 14 through the last PK blood draw on Study Day 28 during Period 2.
The purpose is to assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Donidalorsen administered subcutaneously to Healthy Volunteers
Hypertension is considered a serious public health problem. The imbalance in autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity is one of the main triggers in the development and maintenance of hypertension. The non-pharmacological management of this disease is an important resource, especially in refractory hypertensive patients or in hypertensive crises, where the pharmacological treatment does not present an efficient response. It is known that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is capable of modifying the autonomic balance, however, the effects of Interferential electrical stimulation (IES) on this system in normotensive and hypertensive volunteers are not yet known. These electrotherapeutic resources may be a non-pharmacological tool supporting the management of hypertension. The objective of this research is to study the effects of different TENS and IC parameters on cardiovascular variables of normotensive volunteers and hypertensive patients.
Epidemiology seeks to improve public health by identifying risk factors for cancer and other diseases and conveying that information to relevant audiences (e.g., physicians, the public). The audience is presumed to understand and use that information to make appropriate decisions about lifestyle behaviors and medical treatments. Yet, even though a single risk factor can affect the risk of multiple health outcomes, this information is seldom communicated to people in a way that optimizes their understanding of the importance of engaging in a single healthy behavior. Providing individuals with the ability to understand how a single behavior (obtaining sufficient physical activity) could affect their risk of developing multiple diseases could foster a more coherent and meaningful picture of the behavior's importance in reducing health risks, increase motivation and intentions to engage in the behavior, and over time improve public health. The proposed study translates epidemiological data about five diseases that cause significant morbidity and mortality (i.e., colon cancer, breast cancer (women), heart disease, diabetes, and stroke) into a visual display that conveys individualized risk estimates in a comprehensible, meaningful, and useful way to diverse lay audiences.
To investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and effects of BAY1101042 in healthy male subjects after a single oral dose and multiple once daily dosing for 7 days
Part 1 of this trial will enroll healthy volunteers into a single ascending dose (SAD), multiple ascending dose (MAD), and Food Effect (FE) treatment groups. The SAD treatment group is comprised of at least 3 ascending dose level cohorts where healthy adult subjects will be randomized to receive a single dose of either PTI-808 or placebo and will be followed for 7 days post dose. A safety review committee (SRC) will convene after the completion of each cohort to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data. Following the conclusion of the respective SAD level dose groups and after sufficient review of study data and approval by the SRC, a second set of healthy adult subjects will participate in an assigned MAD treatment group. The MAD treatment group is comprised of 3 ascending dose level cohorts where subjects will be randomized to receive either PTI-808 or placebo daily for 7 days and will be followed for 7 days after receiving the last dose. Also following the conclusion of the respective SAD level dose groups, healthy adult subjects will participate in the FE treatment group. Part 2 of this will enroll healthy volunteers to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of PTI 808 co administered with PTI 801 and PTI 428 to HVs with daily dosing for 7 consecutive days. Part 3 will enroll adult subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) into a MAD treatment group consisting of 2 cohorts. Subjects will receive PTI-808 co-administered with PTI-801 and PTI-428. PTI-808 will be administered daily for 7 consecutive days followed by PTI-808 + PTI-801 + PTI-428 administered daily for 14 consecutive days. Part 4 will enroll adult subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) into 28-day cohorts. Subjects will receive PTI-808 co-administered with PTI-801 with or without PTI-428 versus matching placebo.
The objectives of this study are 1) to determine if consumption of mixed nuts influences food intake and choice, and 2) to determine how personality traits affect food choice, including mood, stress, tendency to seek approval, tendency toward food cravings, and approach to food intake control.
In this study, the investigators propose to assess the validity in measuring physical activity (PA) of a new PA monitor system the MOTIONPODTM, that coupled a hip-worn multi-sensor device (associating a tri-axial accelerometer, a magnetometer and a gyroscope) with an automatic activity/posture recognition algorithm and an activity-specific multilinear prediction model. The MOTIONPODTM performances in predicting mean daily PA energy expenditure (PAEE) will be calculated against the reference PAEE gold standard measure, using the doubly labeled water method (DLW). The MOTIONPODTM performances in predicting PAEE and PA patterns will be compared to those of two existing activity or movement monitors: the triaxial accelerometer ActigraphGT3X+TM and a device combining cardiofrequencemetry with accelerometry, the ActiheartTM. This latter has demonstrated fair performances but at the cost of a calibration of the heart-rate/EE relationship that limits its use in large population samples. Briefly, this open study will include 120 subjects, aged 18 to 75 years of both gender and with broad range of body mass index and physical activity level. The subjects will carry a MOTIONPODTM, an ActigraphGT3X+TM, an ActiheartTM and a GPS for a total of 14 days in everyday life conditions and complete a physical activity diary. In half of the subjects, PA will be evaluated on a period of 14 days, with standard PAEE measured by DLW. The other 60 subjects will be studied twice, one month apart, to test the reproducibility of the measures.
