Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an 8-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or HIIT plus resistance training program combined with post-exercise protein supplementation on cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic risk indices in previously untrained individuals.
Purpose: To provide an update on the implementation of prevention among overhead athletes by their entourage. Materiel and method: This study will be conducted by the means of a questionnaire. The target population consisted of doctors, trainers, physical trainer and physiotherapist. The questionnaire will be validated by experts in each categorie and published on an online survey website
A polygenic risk score (PRS) will be developed and implemented into the primary care digital work-flow. 1000 study subjects with no known cardiovascular disease, diabetes or statin treatment and with high PRS (men of 30-65, women of 40-70 years of age) will be recruited from amongst the gene donors of Estonian Biobank (Estonian Genome Center at the University of Tartu). Subjects will be randomised to proactive primary preventive intervention incorporating provision of PRS information or usual care (opportunistic preventive strategy). Subjects in intervention group will be actively contacted and invited to a general practitioner (GP) based prevention intervention of total cardiovascular risk scoring and guideline recommended preventive measures. Subjects in control group will be observed for 12 month and then invited to a GP visit and provided the same information and advice as the intervention group. The impact of PRS on total 10 year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk scoring will be assessed, the change in total 10 year CVD risk during the intervention will be measured and the difference in total 10 year CVD risk between the groups at month 12 will be reported. Satisfaction of subjects and GPs with the intervention will also be assessed as well as cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
The overarching goal of this project is to implement Boot Camp Translation (BCT) methodology to translate the guidelines and evidence for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine into a practice and provider level intervention designed to improve its acceptability and uptake.
Women who develop preeclampsia (PE) in pregnancy are at a greater risk for adverse cardiovascular health outcomes. PE is associated with vascular remodeling and functional changes in the postpartum, reflective of its systemic effects during gestation. Aberrant microvascular endothelial function has been demonstrated in pharmacological studies of formerly preeclamptic women. However, clinicians do not have any recourse for modulating vascular functional adaptations nor mitigating the future risk for maternal disease in the early postpartum. Low-dose aspirin (LD-ASA) is commonly prescribed to prevent PE and confers a consistently positive effect on mitigating PE risk when given in early gestation to women at risk. While the precise effect of LD-ASA on PE development is not fully understood, existing evidence suggests it may confer an array of anti-thrombotic, vasodilatory, pro-endothelial effects that mitigate the risk of disease. This study will be a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of LD-ASA administration over 6 months in the early postpartum in women with prior severe PE. Women will be identified, enrolled, and randomized to either treatment or placebo groups. Treatment groups will receive 81 mg daily oral aspirin, while control groups will receive an equivalent placebo pill. Vascular functional assessment at study outset will take place, combining laser speckle contrast imaging and iontophoresis of dilute vasoactive drug solutions. Blood and urine will be obtained for analysis of cardiometabolic and endothelial factors. Participants will take their assigned study drug for 6 months, after which a retest appointment will take place to assess vascular functional changes.
The New Families (NF) program will improve quality of existing services, secure personalised service and early intervention in Child Health Service (CHS) in Oslo. The study will measure the effects of a primary prevention family-centered healthcare intervention in Norwegian CHS.
This study will recruit 400 participants who are taking part in the Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography for the Prevention of Myocardial Infarction (SCOT-HEART 2) trial. The investigator will assess diet, activity and habits at the start of the study and 6 months later. This will help us understand the effects taking part in the study may have on lifestyle. In addition, for participants who have CT scans, the investigator will present the results of the heart from the CT scan. This will help us understand how best to explain the results of the CT scan to patients.
Adolescent young carers (AYCs) are young people aged 15-17 years old, who take on significant or substantial caring tasks and assume a level of responsibility that would usually be associated with an adult. In Europe, the estimated prevalence rate of YCs is around 4-8%.Taking on care responsibilities so early in life may have considerable negative consequences for YCs' mental and physical health and psychosocial development. Psychosocial interventions to support YC worldwide are generally quite limited. The H2020 Me-We project (Psychosocial Support for Promoting Mental Health and Well-being among Adolescent Young Carers in Europe) aims to develop an innovative framework of primary prevention interventions for adolescent YCs (AYCs) aged 15-17 to be tested in six European countries (Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom). The theoretical framework chosen for the intervention is the DNA-V Model. The DNA-V model is a psychological intervention, addressed to adolescents and young people, used in educational and clinical settings. This model has its roots in the contextual and functional science and it is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a third-generation cognitive-behavioural therapy. The intervention programme designed for the ME-WE project builds on the DNA-V model but it was adapted to fit the specific needs of adolescent young carers (AYCs) and the goals of the ME-WE project. The study aim is to evaluate the efficacy of DNA-V based program for AYCs (so-called ME-WE intervention), using a cluster-randomized controlled trial (C-RCT) design. The evaluation of the intervention will be carried out using as primary outcome variables: Psychological flexibility; Mindfulness skills; Resilience; Subjective mental health; Quality of life; Subjective health complaints; Caring-related quality of life; Cognitive and emotional impact of caring and Social support. As secondary outcome variables will be included Self-reported school, training or work experience, performance, and attendance. COVID-19 Amendment: Recruitment, should be moved to a cluster- based online recruitment or individual, social media recruitment, face-to-face sessions should be moved to online sessions using video-conferencing instruments, allowing for visual presentations of participants and session materials (e.g. ZOOM, Microsoft Teams). Four open-ended items were added to evaluation questionnaire assessing impact of COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an extremely time-efficient high-intensity interval training program, performed over a period of six months in a real-world (workplace) setting, on cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiometabolic risk profile, and self-reported outcomes including perceived stress and subjective work ability in previously sedentary employees.
Design: PARCADIA is a prospective non-randomized non-interventional multi-center clinical investigation in Europe. Patients with depressed LV (left ventricular) function assessed on local standards, of ischemic origin and on chronic optimal medical therapy will be selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, implanted with an ICD after executing baseline investigations and prospectively followed up for minimal 24 months and until the termination of the clinical investigation. General objective: analysis of baseline risk factors to identify predictors for appropriate ICD intervention in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy receiving an ICD for primary prevention (MADIT II population). Hypothesis: The primary alternative hypothesis states that the mean relative infarct transmurality (RIT) is different in patients with (RITshock or ATP (Anti Tachy Pacing)) and without (RITno shock or ATP )appropriate ICD intervention, i.e. shock or ATP. - Null hypothesis (H0): RITshock or ATP = RITno shock or ATP - Alternative hypothesis (Ha): RITshock or ATP ≠ RITno shock or ATP Sample size: 200 patients. Follow-up: Enrolment visit, pre implant screening, ICD implantation, pre-hospital discharge visit, and follow-up (FUP) visits at 2, 6, 12, 18, 24 months including home monitoring. Additional routine FUP every 6 months until study termination after last enrolled patient has completed 2 years FUP.
