Filter by:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in American women, claiming on average 40% of all female deaths each year. Although the number of CVD-related deaths in the United States has decreased over the last several decades, the rate of decline has been less for women than for men. Specifically, minority women of low socioeconomic status make up a disproportionately high number of CVD cases and related deaths. Previous studies suggest that, in addition to many other variables, psychosocial variables may contribute to ethnic CVD disparities. More research, however, is needed to help understand and reduce these differences. This study will examine the associations among socioeconomic status, psychological and social factors, CVD biomarkers, and CVD in Mexican-American women.
To demonstrate in patients with T2DM and dyslipidemia not appropriately controlled with a statin and receiving metformin, the superiority of a fixed combination of fenofibrate and metformin vs metformin alone on TG and additionally, if the superiority on TG is established, to demonstrate the superiority on HDL-C
This study will assess what, if any, effect that ISIS 301012 (mipomersen) has on liver triglyceride content in multiple groups of subjects with varying degrees of risk for hepatic steatosis. In order to enroll subject groups with varying degrees of risk, the study has included multiple cohorts (Cohorts A-G). Additions and removal of cohorts has been accomplished with protocol amendments.
The primary objective was to assess the effect of 3-month treatment of low and standard doses of fenofibrate in combination with stable dose of metformin on fasting triglycerides levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.
The primary objective was to assess the acceptability of a 4-week treatment of 4 new fixed-dose combinations of fenofibrate and metformin, in patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.
We are doing this study to learn more about the early history of universal screening for metabolic disorders such as PKU and galactosemia. In particular, we are interested in learning from our past experience to inform our current plans to expand universal newborn screening. Following standard historical research methodology, we will begin with a review of the historical scholarship on PKU and galactosemia, including more general works on mental retardation, genetics, public health screening, and metabolic disorders. We will also obtain scientific publications and archival sources on the early screening and treatment of these disorders. Lastly, we will conduct oral history interviews with key participants in teh early screening and treatment of PKU and galactosemia.
Primary: To estimate efficacy of SR29142 to the pediatric patients with newly diagnosed hematological malignancies at high risk for Tumor Lysis Syndrome, by evaluation of plasma uric acid concentration. Secondary: To investigate the safety in this population and anti-SR29142 antibodies, anti-SCP antibodies, and pharmacokinetic parameters.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the intervention for newly diagnosed abnormal glucose tolerance after coronary stenting will improve the long-term clinical outcome.
This is a randomised study of the effect of treatment with Combivir (zidovudine [AZT] and lamivudine [3TC]) and Kaletra (lopinavir [LPVr]), alone and in combination, on the development of abnormalities in lipid and glucose metabolism in HIV negative healthy subjects.
The primary objective of this study is to determine efficacy of 70 mg alendronate once weekly compared to placebo. This will be measured by percent changes in lumbar spine(LS) bone mineral density(BMD) in adult cystic fibrosis(CF)patients after one year of treatment. The investigators hypothesize that in adult CF patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis, alendronate 70 mg once weekly will produce a mean increase from baseline in lumbar spine BMD that is greater than that observed with placebo at 12 months.
