Filter by:SWIFT-CORE-101 is a single site survey study designed to assess potential participants' eligibility to screen for industry-sponsored clinical trials. A physician will oversee the informed consent process, after which participants will be surveyed on demographics, medical history, comorbidities, and current symptoms. Site staff may collect vital signs, urine drug screens, blood draws, and urine pregnancy tests. A doctor will review medical history with the participant to determine study suitability via clinical interview. The doctor may reach out to the patient's current treating physicians and pharmacies to determine eligibility for clinical trials.
Following acute cardiovascular injury, inflammation is vital to activate reparative mechanisms. However, there is compelling evidence implicating excessive inflammation and dysregulated resolution in fibrosis, ventricular remodelling, and heart failure (HF). Recently, the anti-inflammatory agent colchicine reduced cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction (MI) compared to placebo, indicating that targeting inflammation in acute cardiovascular conditions is feasible. Several acute cardiovascular conditions are characterised by inflammation, including myocarditis, MI, and acute heart failure. However, there is large variability in definition, epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and natural history of acute inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. This relates, in part, to the difficulty in performing adequately powered studies. Clinical studies that include sufficient patients and extended observation periods are necessary to address some of these knowledge gaps. This registry aims to collate routinely collected clinical data on patients with acute cardiovascular diseases characterised by inflammation in an observational-based registry. By doing so, the investigators hope to understand the contribution of inflammation to the pathophysiology of acute cardiovascular disease, improve risk stratification, and identify potential novel therapeutic targets.
The aim of this observational study is to explore and analyze reports of cardiac or vascular adverse events linked to the administration of antineoplastic agents among patients diagnosed with tumors represented by advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study leverages pharmacovigilance databases such as the World Health Organization (WHO) database (VigiBase), FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), and others to gather individual safety case reports for analysis.
Heart disease is a common and serious medical condition which causes nearly one in every three deaths worldwide every year. The factors which increase people's risk for heart disease are well-known, but there needs to be more support given to people to reduce their risk of heart disease. Pharmacists are front line primary healthcare providers who see patients more frequently than any other healthcare provider and can help people reduce their risk of heart disease. This research project aims to see whether a pharmacist-led intervention can help people reduce their risk of heart disease. The potential impact of this project is to empower people to understand how to reduce their risk of heart disease and reduce the burden of heart disease on the community.
The eMotion intervention, developed by the PI, provides training on multiple emotion regulation skills based on leading theories and evidence-based emotion regulation interventions. After initial pilot testing of eMotion, the investigators revised the intervention to make it more relevant to women from diverse backgrounds, as these women are disproportionately impacted by social determinants of health that complicate their recovery. It is important to revise the intervention to be acceptable to women from diverse backgrounds and to address their unique needs. The investigators want to explore if women from diverse backgrounds find the revised intervention relevant, meaningful, and easy to understand and apply to their lives. Their feedback will help investigators further revise the intervention to make it acceptable for this population.
This project will conduct a pilot hybrid study that examines the implementation (Aims 1 & 2) and preliminary effectiveness (Aim 3) of PREVENT, a digital health intervention, among patients with overweight/obesity (N=100) using a clinic-randomized design. The central hypothesis of the study is that PREVENT will be feasible and show improvements in health behavior counseling and the patient experience that will improve patients' motivation to change, and their CVH health behaviors and outcomes.
Insufficient mobility contributes to functional decline in hospitalized cardiac patients. Early mobilization programs were shown to improve functional status, increase the likelihood of home discharges, and reduce the length of stay [1]. Therefore, there is a need to adapt and implement early mobilization programs in Quebec hospitals. The overall goal of this study is to adapt and implement an early mobilization program in the Cardiovascular units of the Jewish General Hospital (JGH).
The specific aim of this study is to determine molecular pathways that differentiate metabolically healthy vs unhealthy human phenotypes, and to investigate the therapeutic potential of pro-resolving lipids. Investigators will recruit volunteers that are metabolically healthy or unhealthy that fall within three BMI ranges: lean (18.-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (>30.0 kg/m2). Investigators hypothesize that metabolically healthy individuals have a superior endogenous capacity to regulate an inflammatory/resolving response.
This study aims to establish a cohort of 500 patients with hematological disease who undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the northwest region. All patients will be followed up at the outpatient clinic once a week after transplantation until 100 days after transplantation to observe the presence of acute graft versus host disease, acute kidney damage, and major cardiovascular adverse events. Serum samples from the day before pre-treatment, day after pre-treatment, 2 weeks，4 weeks，8 weeks and 12 weeks after transplantation will be detected by metabolomics sequencing.The primary objective is to explore the serum metabolic markers of acute graft versus host disease，acute kidney injury, and major adverse cardiac events within 100 days after transplantation，the secondary objective is to observe the high-risk factors for early complications.
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases refer to a large category of cardiovascular diseases accompanied by a series of metabolic disorders (including dyslipidemia, obesity, abnormal glucose tolerance, diabetes, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction, etc.), which is the primary cause of death and disease burden of Chinese residents.The number of deaths from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in China is about 2.4 million, accounting for 61% of the total cardiovascular deaths, accounting for more than 40% of the all-cause deaths. In Chinese patients with coronary heart disease, 52.9% are complicated with diabetes.Despite the 1.1 million coronary stents implanted in China, there has been no reduction in cardiovascular mortality, which highlights the importance of threshold advancement and the management of metabolic risk factors. In recent years, the new concept of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases has been actively promoted at home and abroad, and the focus of prevention and treatment strategy of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases has been called for.The project proposed the concept of co-treatment of metabolic diseases based on disorders of blood pressure regulation, disorders of glucose metabolism and disorders of lipid metabolism. Subjects eligible for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases were screened, their past medical records were registered, education and diagnosis and treatment management were conducted.
