This is a randomized, open-label, two-period, crossover Phase 1 to assess the impact of CIN-107 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin and the safety and tolerability of coadministration of CIN-107 and metformin as compared to metformin alone.
To explore whether the application of intelligent hypertension management system can effectively reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. A total of 320 eligible subjects will be recruited and randomization to two groups. The standard care group (n=160) will receive conventional hypertension treatment with baseline data collected.Wearable blood pressure monitoring device management group (intervention group, n=160) will receive blood pressure monitoring remotely everyday and antihypertension medication treatment. Primary outcome is Net change in systolic blood pressure from baseline to 3 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes include Net change in diastolic blood pressure hypertension control ratio (BP < 140/90 mmHg)
A prospective cohort study to evaluate the association between various triggers encountered in daily life and induction of atrial arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia and premature atrial contractions) with the use of long-term monitoring devices. The collected data of personalized triggers and risk factors will be used to define the individual phenotype of atrial arrhythmia.
The overall objective of this research entity is to reveal the holistic health impact of oats in metabolically challenged individuals in a 6-week intervention, compared to that of rice. This is achieved by investigation of the plasma lipids, plasma antioxidant status, fecal microbiota and fecal bile acids. Additionally the effect of the 6-week diet on posptprandial glycemia and postprandial satiety and vitality are investigated.
Hypertension (HTN) has become the largest driver of morbidity and mortality (M&M) worldwide, affecting nearly 1 billion persons, the vast majority living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While clinical research has identified highly-efficacious and inexpensive options to control HTN, rates of awareness, treatment and control of HTN are abysmally low. Implementation strategies that can effectively reach and engage patient populations while feasible within the constraints of frail health systems are urgently needed. In Peru, less than 10% of those with HTN are optimally controlled and thus avoidable M&M continues to increase at unacceptable levels. In the proposed ANDES strategy, ANDES research team will study a vulnerable, impoverished indigenous Andean population that has a high prevalence of HTN (18.5%) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) (7.4%); living at high altitude. The study has two phases: UG3/UH3. During the formative UG3 phase (ended 12/31/22) we completed 3 aims, including: a) adapting community-based service delivery models for detection/control of HTN/T2D using stakeholder-engaged approaches; and b) assessed short-term implementation and service outcomes of pilot Health Fairs to detect HTN/T2D and a CHW-led model for engagement and treatment of HTN/T2D in two communities. A number of stakeholder in-depth interviews revealed significant limitations to HTN control. Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) surveys helped understand attributes for a community health worker (CHW)-led HTN care program that patients would value. Human-Centered Design was used to refine CHWs manual prototype, frequency and content of training sessions on patients, training CHW, supervision and integration into the healthcare system; facility-based health worker training content and approaches; identified opportunities for CHWs to improve health care system by helping to promote hypertension diagnosis, treatment and control. All these activities were used to refine the protocol that was tested in the pilot study where 1,079 subjects underwent blood pressure monitoring under a Standard Operating Procedure using electronic tablets to construct a REDCap database. The UH3 phase will test the adapted ANDES strategy. ANDES is a two-arm, individually randomized superiority trial with parallel assignment. The overall objective of ANDES is to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based Health Agent-led intervention in reducing blood pressure and improving diabetes control in patients from under-resourced communities in Puno, Peru. Potential ANDES study participants will be identified, screened, and recruited via 2 different mechanisms: 1) community health fairs and 2) healthcare facility-based enrollment. Health fair planning, will be conducted in collaboration with DIRESA & EsSalud and local healthcare facility leaders. All health fair attendees will be screened for blood pressure measurements. ANDES research study staff will do screening at tents in the health facilities after doctors refer patients (or for any patients to visit who want) to inquire about their willingness for an in-person screening visit at their home. Recruitment will be rolling over 24 months during which 1068 participants in total (534 participants per arm) will be enrolled. To detect a difference in systolic blood pressure of 2.5 mmHg between intervention and control arms with 95% confidence, 90% power and a standard deviation of 12 mmHg, ANDES research team would need 485 participants per arm. Assuming a conservative lost-to-follow-up of 10% at 12 months, ANDES research team would need to randomize 1068 participants in total (534 participants per arm). The primary outcome is to determine if the ANDES intervention impacts SBP in comparison to the usual care arm 12 months after randomization. ANDES participants will initiate one of two care pathways according to the randomization assignment. Participants in the usual care group will be referred to their local healthcare facility for evaluation and/or to receive medical therapy per typical standard of care and at the discretion of the treating physician for the entirety of the ANDES study. Participants in the ANDES intervention group will receive the ANDES implementation package consisting of health agent home visits for 12 consecutive months. Implementation package delivery will end after month 12, at which time intervention participants will be advised to obtain standard care from their local healthcare facility. Study outcome measures will be obtained in both the usual care and ANDES intervention group at months 12 and 18 post-randomization. All participants will receive visits at baseline, 12 and 18 months for study outcome assessments. Intervention participants will additionally receive a total of 12 visits by health agents as part of the intervention package, for a total of 18 visits for those assigned to the intervention group.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the beneficial effects of such intervention have been seen to disappear over time in other chronic diseases. The objective of the project is to evaluate the efficacy of an urban exercise program after a rehabilitation program and to identify possible determinants of sustainability of the effect, both in patients and in a murine experimental model. Methodology: 1) Study in humans: randomized study (urban training) in 80 patients with PH. The main variable is the improvement in physical activity measured by accelerometry at 12 months. Improvements in bioimpedance and aerobic capacity will be analysed as secondary variables, as well as possible determinants of vascular function that guarantee the sustainability of the effect (pulse wave velocity, endothelial function, metabolic profile and other plasma biomarkers), and all of them will be correlated with the evolution of the disease (admission due to clinical deterioration). 2) Studies in a murine experimental model: Mice with pulmonary hypertension induced by the administration of SU5416 (sugen) and exposure to hypoxia for 3 weeks will be studied after a three-week rehabilitation program. Half of them will exercise 1-2 days a week for 4 more weeks. At the end of the program, the right ventricular pressure will be measured and subsequently the animals will be sacrificed. Morphometric studies will be performed on lung, cardiac and muscular tissue. Vascular endothelial function and autophagy will be also measured. The differences in these variables between the different experimental groups will be analysed.

Vertebra is one of the most common site of metastatic disease, which may cause severe pain or neurological deficit. Debulking surgery usually has better local control and survival benefit as compared with decompression or radiotherapy. However, debulking surgery often accompany with massive blood loss, which may cause hemorrhagic shock or death. The major bleeding point during operation including tumor parenchyma, arteries that are difficult to ligate, and epidural venous plexus. Vascularity of tumor parenchyma had been associated with increased intraoperative blood loss, on the other hand, there is a lack in the literature regarding to evaluation of the size, flow and pressure of epidural venous plexus, and their changes after embolization.
