Filter by:In this proposal, the investigators will demonstrate the feasibility and noninferiority of telerobotic ultrasonography as compared to traditional manual acquisition in performing a limited carotid Duplex examination and in carotid plaque detection.
This study is a double blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel group study, designed to compare the efficacy and safety of VB-201 80mg taken orally once daily to placebo for anti-inflammation in HIV-infected subjects.
The aims of the study are to conduct a pre- and post- two week feeding study of artificial sweetened beverage consumption in middle-aged women. The study will also compare metabolic profiles before and after artificially sweetened beverage consumption.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the benefit of IQP-AS-118 on the vasoactive effects in healthy subjects.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of acute isoquercetin supplementation, aspirin, and isoquercetin/aspirin combination on platelet aggregation, blood pressure and vasculat stiffness (eg digital volume pulse), as well as investigating the plasma accumulation and urine excretion profiles of quercetin.
The purpose of this study is to explore how the End Tidal Carbon Dioxide monitoring via nasal cannula (ETCO2-NC) device may allow for earlier detection of respiratory complications. This device will detect the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled with each breath and may better predict high levels of this than traditional monitoring. This may reduce the number and severity of respiratory issues. A convenience sample of 60 participants either scheduled for continuous flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) implant or who have been readmitted to an ICU with a CF-LVAD will be recruited and randomized to usual care or usual care plus ETCO2-NC throughout their stay in the ICU.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 35 EECP sessions on cardiopulmonary training performance in healthy volunteers. Data from this study will be used to generate sample size and power calculations for feasibility of future EECP studies. The results of this study could provide evidence that can help active duty and Department of Defense beneficiaries optimize physical conditioning, endurance and overall health.
This study has been designed as a randomized, double-blind trial to provide definitive evidence on the effects of ticagrelor and prasugrel on myocardial salvage in patients with anterior ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). This study will also measure the effects of ticagrelor vs. prasugrel on secondary endpoints listed above. This study design aims to test the hypothesis that ticagrelor will reduce myocardial infarct size as a proportion of the ischemic area at risk when compared to prasugrel.
The purpose of this research study is to study the effect of fish oil and bicarbonate (baking soda) on exercise. In this study fish oil, bicarbonate or both will be compared to placebo to see if study participants increase exercise capacity.
A retrospective, multi-center, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the use of remote monitoring in rural emergency departments to decrease time to treatment decision for pacemaker and defibrillator patients using the St Jude Medical Merlin@home transmitter. The purpose of the study is to determine if utilization of remote monitoring technology in a rural emergency department may improve patient care. Up to 10 rural ED sites will enroll a total of 200 patients. One hundred patients will be in the remote monitoring group comprised of patients with SJM devices compatible with the unpaired transmitter and 100 patients will be in the usual medical care group comprised of patients with SJM devices that are not compatible with the unpaired transmitter or that have a competitor's device.
