Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test if a patient can be directly connected to a quality assurance (QA) database, traditionally known as a registry. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data will be entered into the database directly from a patient's mobile phone from their index procedure for 12 months. The investigators hope this study to be a "proof of concept" for such a distributed registry and evaluate 1) consistency of data acquisition, 2) engagement of patients, 3) overall value of patient-reported outcomes to enhance long term follow up.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of interrupting prolong sedentary behavior with interval exercise on postprandial metabolism following a high fat glucose tolerance test.
A prospective, open label, multi-center, single arm, observational study designed to evaluate the acute safety and device procedural success of the Scoreflex NC Scoring Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) catheters in subjects with stenotic coronary arteries during percutaneous coronary intervention. Two-hundred (200) subjects will be treated at up to 15 U.S. sites with the Scoreflex NC Scoring PTCA catheter during their index procedure. All subjects will be screened according to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be followed through hospital discharge.
In the endoscopic treatment of superficial femoral artery and/or proximal popliteal artery in patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis occlusion, the intercalation caused by the predilation of increasing caliber balloon and matching caliber balloon was compared, and then the impact of the two predilation methods on the intraoperative treatment strategy and short and medium-term prognosis was analyzed. The study was designed as a prospective, multi-center, single-blind, randomized, controlled study. It is planned to set up 5-10 research centers with 340 subjects, and the single center will be less than or equal to 100 subjects, in the form of competition from each research center.
This study tests the effectiveness of using a new mobile application (Bingocize®) to improve older adults' (a) adherence to an engaging exercise program, and (b) aspects of functional performance, health knowledge, dietary habits, and cognition.
This study evaluates the relationship between Ambulatory Aortic and Branchial blood pressure vs Office blood pressure measurements with the changes in arterial stiffness indices, in long-term Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) patients. These parameters will be monitored both cross-sectionally at the start of the study and prospectively over a 6 month period.
This is a prospective and observational study in patients with type two diabetes. The study hypothesis is that chronic hyperglycemia causes an increase in the microcirculation on the carotid artery wall and retina, evaluated by angio-OCT. Furthermore, the reestablishment of normoglycemia would decrease this microcirculation, which could trigger hypoxic and ischemic changes, accelerating preclinical atherosclerosis. The study goal is to describe the microangiopathy in both territories in patients with type two diabetes and chronic hyperglycemia, and to evaluate changes after the reestablishment of normoglycemia.
Background: Generalized Arterial Calcification of Infancy (GACI) is a very rare disorder. It can be fatal before birth or by age 6 months. Anumber of people with GACI survive into adulthood. Those adults suffer from side effects of the disease, including rickets. It is unknown how common the disease Autosomal Recessive Hypophosphatemic Rickets Type 2 (ARHR2) is. It also has side effects. GACI and ARHR2 are usually caused by the mutations in the same gene. There are no approved treatments for the two diseases. Researchers want to study people with these diseases and their family members. This may help understand these rare and unique diseases better. The data could lead to new treatments for GACI and ARHR2. Objectives: To better understand the progression of GACI and ARHR2 and how genes might play a role in them. Eligibility: People with GACI or ARHR2, both living and deceased, and their parents and siblings. Design: Participants will allow researchers to access their medical records. They will give this consent by mail, email, or fax. Data will be taken from the records. Participants names will not be used. Instead, they will be identified by a code. Participants may give a blood sample. If a participant withdraws from the study, their data and samples will be destroyed. However, the coded clinical data in the official medical record and data in databases will NOT be destroyed.
It is a single arm clinical evaluation of safety and efficacy of the Medtronic Resolute Onyx™ zotarolimus-eluting coronary stent system in subjects who are eligible for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in de novo lesions amenable to treatment with Resolute Onyx™ Stent System in China.
It is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Medtronic Resolute Onyx™ Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in comparison with the Medtronic Resolute Integrity™ Zotarolimus-Eluting coronary stent system in the treatment of subjects eligible for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in China.
