Filter by:Main scientific hypotheses of the project: 1. The level of intestinal microflora translocation markers and biomarkers of intestinal wall damage the in the blood serum correlates with the level of intra-abdominal pressure, regardless of the genesis of intra-abdominal hypertension. 2. The critical levels of intestinal microflora translocation markers and biomarkers of the intestinal wall damage can be used for predicting an unfavorable outcome in the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. 3. The revealed critical level of intra-abdominal pressure is an additional prognostic sign in assessing the course of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. . Project objectives: 1. To evaluate the indicators of biomarkers of translocation of the intestinal microflora and biomarkers of the intestinal wall damage in the systemic circulation during the development and course of the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction. Based on the obtained critical levels of markers of translocation of the intestinal microflora and markers of the intestinal wall damage, it will be possible to predict adverse outcomes in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. 2. To identify differences in the level of markers of bacterial translocation of the intestinal microflora and the level of markers of the intestinal wall damage in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension. In patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, the levels of biomarkers of bacterial translocation of the intestinal microflora and biomarkers of intestinal wall damage in the blood serum correlate with intra-abdominal pressure indicators, regardless of the etiology of intra-abdominal hypertension. 3. Assess the impact of the level of intra-abdominal pressure on the development and course of the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction. To assess the course of the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction, an additional prognostic marker is the determination of the critical level of intra-abdominal pressure. 4. Determine the critical levels of biomarkers of intestinal microflora translocation and biomarkers of intestinal wall damage to predict the outcome of diseases accompanied by the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The obtained critical levels of biomarkers of translocation of the intestinal microflora and biomarkers of the intestinal wall damage will be significant indicators in the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction for predicting an unfavorable outcome.
This is a minimal risk study focusing on food purchasing and consumption in 100 subjects in the greater New Orleans area. There is evidence showing that individually-targeted vouchers effectively increase category-level food purchases in both less healthful and more healthful categories. This pilot study will investigate whether a voucher program using Instacart or a local, brick-and-mortar supermarket in New Orleans, LA lead to changes in food purchasing patterns, food consumption, food insecurity, and access to healthy food options for the participants, who are at risk of cardiovascular disease and/or cardiac complications. The study will also measure concordance between food purchasing and actual consumption.
Acalabrutinib and Zanabrutinib are highly effective drugs used to treat Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, but they are associated with high blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms. SENTINEL is an observational study that will use wearable technology to monitor heart rhythm and blood pressures at home to better understand how frequently patients are experiencing high blood pressure and/or abnormal heart rhythms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of evidence-based, adapted, and tailored, patient-focused and clinic-focused strategies to improve blood pressure (BP) control in English- and Spanish-speaking patients with hypertension (HTN).
The aim of the study is to perform an experimental validation of the long-term accuracy of blood pressure measurement using the Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch
The HEARTS Technical Package was developed by the World Health Organization to address the implementation gap of cardiovascular disease prevention in low- and middle-income countries. Guatemala is a middle-income country that is currently implementing HEARTS. National authorities are interested in exploring how hypertension and diabetes management can be integrated in HEARTS implementation. The objective of this study is to conduct a feasibility and acceptability pilot trial of integrated hypertension and diabetes management based on HEARTS in the publicly funded primary care system in Guatemala.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an 8-week walking program on blood pressure in inactive older adults with respiratory impairment, a condition where lung function is sub-optimal for a person's age. Older adults with respiratory impairment have greater risks of death by cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those without respiratory impairment, and this may be partly driven by higher resting blood pressure. One way to lower blood pressure is to increase the number of daily steps achieved throughout the course of everyday life ('lifestyle steps'), and previous research shows that an additional 3,000 lifestyle steps/day is effective for achieving this. However, whether an increase in daily lifestyle steps is effective for reducing blood pressure in senior-community dwelling older adults with respiratory impairment is unknown. Understanding how increasing daily steps impacts blood pressure in this understudied population is important for informing future strategies for tackling cardiovascular disease risk in those with lung dysfunction.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an approach to improve care for pregnant and post-partum patients with high blood pressure. The study participants are providers and staff in prenatal care clinics, and the condition of interest is severe hypertension. The research questions are: 1. Does the ACHIEVE intervention increase the quality and accuracy of measuring patient blood pressure? 2. Does the ACHIEVE intervention increase the documentation of delivery of patient education on hypertension? 3. Does the ACHIEVE intervention result in better recognition and treatment of severe hypertension during practice sessions (simulations)? 4. Does the ACHIEVE intervention result in better recognition and treatment of severe hypertension for patients who come to the clinic? Participants from 20 clinics in North Carolina will work with an ACHIEVE Nurse Coordinator who will deliver training, coaching, and simulations. Three groups of clinics will be phased into Active Implementation every six months. The study team will examine data collected before, during, and after the intervention to see if the results show improvement.
The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation, intervention effectiveness, and dissemination of a digital acute care delivery model for improving selected health outcomes in the Hospital at Home population.
The goal of this observational study is to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology to the resting 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and assess whether it can assist doctors in the early diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). Early and accurate diagnosis is an important step for patients with PH. It helps provide effective treatments early which improve prognosis and quality of life. The main questions our study aims to answer are: 1. Can AI technology in the 12-lead ECG accurately predict the presence of PH? 2. Can AI technology in the 12-lead ECG identify specific sub-types of PH? 3. Can AI technology in the 12-lead ECG predict mortality in patients with PH? In this study, the investigators will recruit 12-lead ECGs from consenting participants who have undergone Right heart Catheterisation (RHC) as part of their routine clinical care. AI technology will be applied to these ECGs to assess whether automated technology can predict the presence of PH and it's associated sub-types.
