This study is an observational, non-randomized, study that will examine the variability in blood pressure (BP) response to intravenous (IV) vasoactive medications when BP is continuously sampled versus real-world BP sampling. Continuous BP sampling will be obtained using the Component Neuromonitoring System (CNS-200; Natus Corp) to obtain continuous data acquisition (CDA). The investigators will explore BP change based on electronic medical record (EMR) vs CNS-200 data. This study will consent and observe 30 Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit subjects using pragmatic sampling. Each subject will be observed one-and-only-one time for a 12-hour period.
This pilot project aims develop a need-based community stroke self-management program that would improve the stroke self-management self-efficacy and competencies among African American stroke survivors living in rural Alabama. This study is a mixed-methods study to collect data related to the needs of these individuals and develop a need-based intervention based on the actual needs/ preferences of our target population. The specific aims are to assess the needs, access barriers, existing resources for a stroke self-management program; and develop a Community Stroke Self-management Program for improving stroke survivors' abilities to manage their medication adherence, diet, Physical Activity (PA) requirements, symptoms, and psychological distress to better meet their needs, expectations, and preferences. Another aim is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of delivering the CSSP after tailoring the proposed intervention in Aim 2a) among the AA chronic stroke survivors living in rural Alabama.
The goal of this intervention is to compare the blood pressure response of young females and males to a single bout of static handgrip exercise before and after static handgrip training (4 weeks). The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Are the lowering blood pressure effects of static handgrip exercise training different between young females and males? - Which factors explain the lowering blood pressure effects of static handgrip training and possible differences between sexes? Is it an improved blood vessel dilation? Is it a reduced stiffening of blood vessels? Is it a reduced fight or flight response resulting in a lower heart rate and blood pumped by the heart into the vessels? All the above? - Which factors regulate blood pressure response during and immediately after a single bout of static handgrip exercise? All participants will be asked to: - Visit the laboratory to perform static handgrip exercise - first visit; - Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to static handgrip exercise training or to a non-exercising phase, with each phase lasting four weeks. Participants will also complete the other condition (handgrip or no handgrip) after completing the first four-week condition - Return to the laboratory after the completion of both static handgrip training and no training to perform the static handgrip exercise of the first visit. The investigators will compare participants' blood pressure response to a single bout static of handgrip exercise after training to their own blood pressure response to the same bout of exercise after the non-training period.
This study aims to develop an automated and real-time non-contact vital sign measurement system using cameras. It will collaborate with physicians from National Taiwan University Hospital to conduct measurements during outpatient visits or hospitalizations. This allows physicians to non-invasively measure multiple vital signs (such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation) upon your entry to the outpatient clinic or hospital. Simultaneously, the measurements will be verified using commercially available contact-based instruments. The research outcomes of this project aim to enhance the convenience, safety, and comfort of vital sign measurements for outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and long-term care in the future.
Blood pressure will be measured in min. 5/10/15 after birth. Cerebral tissue oxygenation (crSO2) monitoring with NIRS in addition to routine arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring with pulse oximetry will be performed continuously during the first 15 minutes after birth
The aim of this multi-country research project is to reduce the blood pressure of individuals with hypertension over a 12-month period in Bangladesh and Pakistan. A cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) will be conducted with two arms. The estimated sample size is around 3600 hypertensive adults. Bangladesh study participants will consist of 3600 hypertensive individuals. Approximately 10% of participants will be selected based on Bangladesh samples from Pakistan (360 hypertensive patients, four pharmacies). Community pharmacies will be randomised to one of two parallel groups (allocation ratio 1:1). Pharmacy professionals will provide educational training and counselling, as well as phone calls/mobile text messages and care coordination in the health sector as part of the intervention. The study will be conducted in three phases: baseline survey; intervention and follow-up; and endline survey with impact evaluation. The primary outcome will be BP reduction and the secondary outcomes will be BP controlled to target, treatment adherence, mortality or hospital admission rates resulting from hypertension and its related complications, incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year gained, improvement in knowledge on healthy lifestyle, change in dietary salt intake, and change in prevalence of current smokers.
This study seeks to evaluate whether a community-partnered, multi-level health system strategy to manage elevated blood pressure (BP) in the community, either with a medical model of remote BP management (RBPM) alone or RBPM plus a social model with a community health worker (CHW), is more effective in controlling hypertension than standard community screening and referral to primary care.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a ring-type blood pressure measurement device compared to a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device in patients with hypertension or suspected hypertension. The main question it aims to answer is whether the 24-hour blood pressure measurement accuracy of the ring-type blood pressure monitor is similar to that of the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor. To participate, subjects must wear a ring blood pressure monitor and an ambulatory blood pressure monitor simultaneously for 24 hours.
The purpose of this study is to test the proof-of-concept for adding a novel mHealth application, USeeBP, to the established UChicago Medicine Ambulatory Medicine Remote-Patient Monitoring (UCM-RPM) Hypertension Management Program in a population of African American adults with poorly controlled hypertension.
