Filter by:Modern living is associated with an epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sleep disturbances such as insomnia or frequent awakenings are strong risk factors for T2DM with several studies indicating a central role of melatonin. Additionally, a certain single nucleotide polymorphism in the melatonin receptor gene, MTNR1B rs10830963, with an allele frequency of 30 %, is associated with increased fasting plasma glucose and T2DM. Due to treatment of, among other things, insomnia, the use of melatonin is increasing rapidly in Denmark with a 100-fold increase from 2007-2012 in children and adolescents. No previous studies have thoroughly assessed changes in glucose and fatty acid metabolism after 3 months of melatonin treatment in patients with T2DM.
Investigators will identify a group of patients with complete heart block and a dual chamber pacemaker who will be expected to be able to exercise on a treadmill. Investigators will utilize symptom logs, cuff and continuous blood pressure monitoring. It is planned to study the symptomatic impact of loss of AV synchrony at significant levels of exercise.
the current study hypothesized that Gabapentin can be effective as Bisoprolol in reduction of intraoperative bleeding, improving the operative's field visibility and increase the surgeon satisfaction via optimization of blood pressure and heart rate . A prospective randomized double blinded controlled study. Eligible patients were randomized according to random list generated software and allocated into 3 equal and matched groups (15 patients in each group):- - Group G: gabapentin group in which Patients were premedicated with oral gabapentin 1200 mg (Conventin 400mg; Evapharm) with sips of water, 2 hours before induction of anesthesia. - Group B: bisoprolol group in which Patients were premedicated with oral bisoprolol 2.5 mg ( Concor 2.5mg ; Merck/Amoun ) with sips of water, 2 hours before induction of anesthesia. - Group C: control group in which Patients were premedicated with oral placebo with sips of water, 2 hours before induction of anesthesia.
Single-centre intervention study to validate the performance of the Aktiia SA optical blood pressure monitoring (OBPM) device at the wrist against invasive blood pressure measurements with arterial line.
Excess salt intake is a major contributor to high blood pressure, the leading individual risk factor for cardiovascular events, such as stroke, myocardial infarction and heart failure. According to PHYSA study, salt intake in Portugal remains much higher (10.7 g) than recommended by the international health organisations, indicating the need for effective implementation of salt reduction interventions. In Portugal the main source of daily salt intake is added salt during cooking, and salt content in bread, cheese and processed meat. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a dietary education program tailored for salt reduction. To assess the effectiveness of the salt reduction program the investigator's will measure changes in salt consumption levels, by evaluating the 24 h urinary sodium excretion. This study is a consortium-initiated, randomised, simple-blinded, controlled trial designed to assess the effectiveness of a salt reduction program versus generic healthy lifestyle program in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.
The study includes two parts: 1) an observational study examines the association of meal frequency, meal timing, and meal regularity with short-term changes in blood pressure and body composition; 2) a randomized controlled intervention examines the influence of recommendation of increase breakfast frequency and decrease nighttime snacking on 1-year changes in blood pressure and body composition.
The investigators hypothesize that compared to untreated controls, erythropoietin (EPO) therapy in anemic patients with chronic kidney disease will raise diastolic blood pressure (BP). The magnitude of increase in diastolic BP at 12 weeks after treatment will be related to two factors. First, endothelial dysfunction and worsening of endothelial function from baseline to 4 weeks and second, the change of forearm blood flow in response to breathing oxygen and the change in this measure from baseline to 4 weeks. Study procedures include fasting blood draws, ambulatory blood pressure, urine collection, and forearm blood flow tests. The study hopes to accrue 160 subjects.
This is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial that will be conducted across mainland China. This trial will test the primary hypothesis of whether an intensive treatment strategy (a systolic blood pressure target of <120 mmHg) is more effective than a standard treatment strategy (a systolic blood pressure target of <140 mmHg) in reducing the risk of major cardiovascular disease (non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, treated or hospitalized heart failure, and cardiovascular deaths) over a follow-up period of up to 5 years among patients with a history of diabetes and elevated systolic blood pressure. The secondary hypotheses are to compare the intensive blood pressure treatment strategy with the standard treatment strategy on dementia and cognitive function, individual components of the primary hypothesis, all-cause mortality, kidney outcomes, quality of life, and injurious falls, et al.
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in cardiac surgery is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality. Raising the systemic blood pressure with norepinephrine seems to have a positive influence on the right ventricular function in several animal studies. The current study is designed to evaluate the effect of a higher blood pressure on the RV function in post cardiac surgery patients.
