Filter by:Individuals who have insomnia with short sleep duration (ISS) differ from individuals who have insomnia with normal sleep duration (INS) in terms of health risks (i.e., hypertension) and treatment response. This study will examine whether patients with ISS and INS demonstrate a differential response to two common insomnia treatments. One is behavioral, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). The other is a widely prescribed, non-habit-forming medication, trazodone used at a low dose. The investigators' findings could lead to evidence-based treatment guidelines that help clinicians more effectively match treatments to insomnia patients and reduce associated health problems.
The goal of this clinical trial is to analyse the prevalence of new or uncontrolled arterial hypertension (AHT) after hospital discharge of medical in-patients with elevated blood pressure (BP) values during hospitalisation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do elevated BP values during hospitalisation correspond to new or uncontrolled AHT after hospital discharge? - Is it safe to postpone adaption of antihypertensive treatment until after proper evaluation of AHT after hospital discharge? Participants will either be treated according to their physicians' decision or antihypertensive treatment adaptions will be postponed until after hospital discharge.
A community-academic partnership composed of a State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University inter-disciplinary team of scientists (representing public health, medical informatics, vascular neurology/stroke center) and the Digital Equity Community Advisory Board (DECA) will guide our research. This is an NIH R21 pilot study. Our Specific Aims are designed to inform the sample design and research priorities for a larger NIH R01 experimental study and to serve as a platform for similar studies with other health conditions. We propose a mixed-methods study design with the following aims: 1. Assess and build setting, community, and user fit of DESA, leveraging qualitative methods and simulation telehealth encounters between the patient and neurologist. 2. Conduct a 9-month pilot randomized control trial (RCT) of DESA in a Central Brooklyn stroke population to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy. We will randomize 50 adults to DESA and 30 to usual care. The primary outcome will be BP control. Secondary outcomes include the number of BP measurements and medication compliance. Our primary hypothesis is that patients randomized to the DESA will significantly reduce systolic blood pressure at 9 months. 3. Examine barriers and facilitators to the adoption and integration of DESA into routine stroke care utilizing key informant interviews and user satisfaction surveys with neurologists and intervention participants.
To evaluate whether in patients with initially poorly-controlled arterial hypertension, structural and functional differences in the retina and choroid remain after achieving a well-controlled blood pressure.
Antioxidant qualities have been attributed to wheatgrass and tulsi formulation. Free radicals are unstable molecules created by the body during metabolism and exposure to environmental pollutants. Antioxidants are chemicals that can help stop or reduce cell damage caused by these unstable molecules. Oxidative stress, which is brought on by free radicals, has been connected to a number of health issues, including chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and ageing. Wheatgrass is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and chlorophyll, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is an herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and has been found to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Several studies have investigated the antioxidant properties of wheatgrass and tulsi formulation. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology in 2015 found that wheatgrass extract had significant antioxidant activity, as measured by its ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce lipid peroxidation in vitro.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer type in European women. Patients treated for early non-metastatic breast cancer comprise a growing group of survivors due to early diagnosis and improved treatment. Many of these survivors experience adverse effects such as decreased bone mineral density, derangement of metabolic markers (fat, glucose, insulin) and increased blood pressure. Increasing risk of bone fracture and cardiometabolic disease (eg. diabetes mellitus type 2). The purpose of this study is to identify mechanisms behind cardiometabolic changes that may be connected to the (neo-)adjuvant treatment. On top of this we hope to indentify potential biological markers that can help prevent development of metabolic disease. We will be recruiting 120 post-menopausal women age 50-70 with early breast cancer and 1-2 times a year for 5 years examine bone mineral density, body composition, glucose and fat metabolism and nerve damage. A questionnaire will be used to collect information on diet, physical activity and quality of life. Derudover anvendes spørgeskemaer til at indsamle information vedrørende. This new knowledge will help clinicians start adequate preventive measures to help patients avoid cardiometabolic disease secondary to cancer treatment.
This study will test the feasibility of a home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPTM) system in patients with minor stroke or TIA in the past year. The telemonitoring system will consist of a blood pressure machine and an online survey to submit blood pressure measurements. The investigators want to test whether patients can persistently use the telemonitoring system with ease and whether telephone instructions for blood pressure medications from the research nurse can be correctly understood. A secondary purpose of this study is to look at the effects of telemonitoring in blood pressure and stroke recurrence.
This study evaluated the differences between normotensive and hypertensive menopausal women in ambulatory and blood pressure variability responses to combined aerobic and resistance exercise.
The project aims to determine the effect of a high-nitrate dietary intervention on blood pressure and markers of vascular function compared to a low-nitrate intervention in people with elevated blood pressure. Half of the participants will receive the high-nitrate dehydrated vegetable intervention, while the other half will receive the low-nitrate dehydrated vegetable intervention.This project will advance the current hypothesis on the therapeutic link between dietary nitrate and high blood pressure, and potentially derive impactful recommendations for individuals at risk of hypertension.
This study examines the efficacy of individualized counseling letters to reduce systolic blood pressure level of ≥ 130 mmHg in individuals aged between 40 and 65 years. The computer-generated counseling letter intervention aimed to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, to reduce sedentary time, and to achieve smoking abstinence.
