Filter by:Patients were randomized into two groups, A group and B group. A group and B group patients are injected intravenous dexmedetomidine after intrathecal injection (IT) of heavy bupivacaine and injected intravenous dexmedetomidine before IT of heavy bupivacaine, respectively. The investigators will compare of hemodynamics and patient's comfortability between two groups.
Part 1 of the study will assess the effect of 1g, 2g and 5g doses of NWT-03 on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a cross-over designed study in healthy adults with normal, high normal and mild hypertension. Based on results from this study, one dose will be selected for a placebo controlled parallel study assessing a single dose of NWT-03 on systolic and diastolic blood pressure and endothelial function in a similar population.
Part 2 of the study will assess the effect of 2g of NWT-03 (an egg-white protein hydrolysate) on systolic and diastolic blood pressure and flow-mediated dilation in a crossover designed study in healthy adults with mild hypertension.
The evidence linking chocolate with lowered blood pressure has been observed. However, the interventions have been short, at most 4 weeks. The aim of this study is to find out if the habitual consumption of dark chocolate for 8 weeks has an effect on blood pressure. Also, more insight to the mechanisms linking chocolate to individual healt-responses is needed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there is an effect of pumpkin seed oil supplementation, 2 grams per day, on blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) in premenopausal women.
The objective of this study is to determine whether a community-based salt reduction program can reduce average salt consumption levels. Baseline levels of salt consumption were measured in 2011, the salt reduction program was then implemented, and now in 2014 investigators are remeasuring salt consumption levels in the community. The hypothesis investigators are testing is that the salt reduction program will have led to a change in salt consumption levels between 2011 and 2014. The study is being done in Lithgow, a regional town in New South Wales , Australia.
The purpose of the GRECO study were to: a) to provide national data on overweight and obesity prevalence in a representative sample of primary schoolchildren aged 10-12 years old, b) to identify those socio-economic, demographic factors, as well as dietary and physical activity habits and familial characteristics that are associated with childhood and preadolescent overweight and obesity, c) to identify lifestyle and dietary patterns that are associated with elevated blood pressure levels and dietary sodium intake.
This project examines behavioral and household characteristics associated with food purchasing patterns.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of consumption of a food supplement rich in procyanidins extracted from the bark of French pine, Oligopin®, on blood pressure of people with mild / moderate degree of hypertension. Furthermore, the effect Oligopin® consumption on markers involved in the development of hypertension, and endothelial function in key enzymes that regulate blood pressure, inflammation and oxidation are considered. Also, try to advance the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate blood pressure.
In emergency situations, access to the venous system is essential in order to administer fluids and medication and to monitor patients. When peripheral veins are difficult to access or the patient's condition requires certain medications, or monitoring, central venous catheters (CVC) are inserted. CVC placement introduces a much higher level of risk compared to peripheral catheters. The technique of intraosseous (IO) infusion has been used by healthcare professionals for several decades, but recently has gained wide popularity in the emergency care settings. This technique allows providers to secure a needle in the bony matrix at the ends of long bones (tibia and humerus) and infuse fluids and medications into the intramedullary space. The ability to monitor a patient's blood pressure through an intraosseous needle is unknown. The primary objective of this study is to describe the relationship (ratio) of intraosseous pressure (IOP) values to standard pressure values, including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and central venous pressure (CVP).
