Filter by:This is a proof-of-concept study of a virtual version of a lifestyle intervention aimed at reducing cardiometabolic risk in patients with the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). The aim is to recruit 12 patients at high risk for coronavirus infection based upon a diagnosis of obesity and the MetS, conduct a 12-week virtual version of the in-person intervention, and explore efficacy using clinically significant pre-specified targets for weight, diet, physical activity, stress, and markers of inflammation. In addition, the investigators will explore safety, fidelity, feasibility, and acceptability.
The study will investigate the influence that extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) could have on the efficacy and persistance of efficacy of prone position in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Prone position will increase blood oxygenation in 75% of the cases and will be persistant in half of the cases. Unfortunately, no clinical criteria has been found correlated with efficacy. The quantity of lung edema, with increased lung weight, could be a determinant factor of efficacy and the persistance of the efficacy. EVLWi, assessed with the PiCCO2 device, reflects the quantity of fluid accumulated in interstitial and alveolar spaces. The hypothesis is that patients with higher EVLWi will have less efficacy of prone position in oxygenation and also that the beneficial effects of prone position will last shorter compared to patients with lower EVLWi.
The growing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the worldwide is becoming a serious health problem and economic burden. MetS has become a crucial risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The rising rates of CVD and diabetes, which are the two leading causes of death. To prevent the progression of MetS to diabetes and CVD, regular physical activity is required. Elliptical trainer device is a relatively new modality of exercise and is advertised to be superior to a treadmill because of the low joint impact and the more reasonable costs of an elliptical trainer compared to a treadmill. Additional quantitative research is needed to further evaluate the effectiveness of elliptical trainers and the physiological and perceptual responses to the machine.

Study was planned to investigate the effect of pranayama on dyspnea, daytime sleepiness, cognitive function, quality of life, activities of daily living, functional exercise capacity, physical activity level, sleep quality, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, depression and anxiety in OSAS.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is characterized by symptoms of chronic orthostatic intolerance such as fatigue, lightheadedness, dizziness, palpitations and by pronounced tachycardia upon standing. The aims of the present research study are to test whether a daily transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) performed for 14 consecutive days may improve heart rate response and reduce disabling symptoms while standing.
Although over 200,000 individuals with DS live in the United States, studies to date have focused on outcomes apart from health. The foundation for this proposal is based on the need to accurately measure health of all individuals - specifically, with DS - and the dearth of available tools for this population. Creating such an instrument will provide a barometer of the current state of health for DS and hold use in future research. In this project, I propose to create an instrument that directly assesses health in DS - the Down syndrome Health Instrument (DHI). More specifically, the aims of this proposal are: 1. To conduct focus groups among caregivers, individuals with DS, panels of experts on DS and primary care physicians, and cognitive interviews to refine a conceptual model of health for DS and create an item pool, 2. To administer the DHI and establish internal validity, reliability, and external validity of the DHI for use in clinical research, and 3. To test the usability of the DHI in two pilot settings: research and clinical. This instrument will measure patient-reported health in DS for the first time and allow measurement of health as an outcome which is not currently possible in this population. This can identify gaps in care, then direct and optimize interventions that will improve care.
Multicenter post-approval observational retrospective cohort study in routine clinical practice (Real World Evidence Study) to assess the 1-year safety profile associated with ticagrelor and clopidogrel therapy in a contemporary reprospective cohort of patients who survived the initial 30-day period after the index hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
This study proposes a safe dosing regimen IFN-γ that is sufficient to stimulate IFN-γ receptors on malignant blasts in patients who developed relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after alloSCT with no active or history of III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It is hypothesized that IFN-γ will promote graft-vs-leukemia (GVL) in patients with AML/MDS that has relapsed after alloSCT.
Non-constipated irritable bowel syndrome is a common disorder that may be related to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 is a probiotic yeast that has proven efficacy for the treatment of acute gastroenteritis and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. However, its efficacy for the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth has not been assessed. Hence, an exploratory randomized, open label trial comparing the efficacy and safety of Saccharomyes boulardii CNCM I-745 plus diet administration versus diet administration only for 15 days among adult patients with the aforementioned condition was conducted.
