Filter by:This study aims to conduct a 10-year follow-up to assess ASCVD risk in Pakistan among individuals aged 30 years and above without a known history of ASCVD. The focus will be on evaluating ASCVD risk over this specific 10-year timeframe. The study will also validate risk assessment scores for identifying high-risk individuals and examine the incidence rate of ASCVD events during long-term follow-up.
This study is being done to find out if online referrals to a food management program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) made by clinical teams will get more people to enroll in WIC. Women aged 18 or older who get healthcare at Geisinger, are pregnant, and are eligible to be referred to the WIC program will be recruited. These women need to consent to join this study. There are four groups in this study. Group 1 will get usual care with details about WIC from their clinical team. Group 2 will be sent to WIC by their clinical team. Group 3 will get details about WIC from their clinical team and a dietitian will talk to them about heart-healthy diets and food management. Group 4 will be sent to WIC by their clinical team and a dietitian will talk to them about heart-healthy diets and food management. This study will last about 18 months and will have 200 total subjects joining at about 50 per month. Each subject will be in the study for about 6 months. Subjects will be asked to complete surveys at the start and end of the study. Some subjects will also be asked about their experience in the study team after they are done.
The Multitude is a registry of patients who receive commercially available CIEDs that remotely communicate through the LATITUDE monitoring system and transfer data to a central database. The registry is designed to constitute a shared environment for the collection, management, analysis and reporting of clinical and diagnostic data, adopted by a network of European scientifically-motivated physicians who use rhythm management diagnostic and therapeutic solutions from Boston Scientific in their clinical practice. The Multitude study will facilitate the sharing of scientific proposals within a large network of researchers, and it will allow researchers to record the experience with medical devices throughout the device and patient lifecycle.
The randomized clinical trial (RCT) endeavors to enroll 50 participants, divided equally into aerobic exercise and resistance exercise groups. The study employs rigorous tools such as blood pressure measurement, SF-36 questionnaire, and the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) to assess VO2max.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the physical and mental health status of middle-aged and elderly people of different ages and practicing Tai chi for different periods of time, so as to provide a strong theoretical basis and practical guidance for delaying age-related aging and preventing and treating the occurrence and development of chronic diseases.
The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) in the working general population.
The goal of this study is to verify whether the use of deep brain stimulation can improve motor function of the hand and arm and speech abilities for people following a stroke. Participants will undergo a surgical procedure to implant deep brain stimulation electrode leads. The electrodes will be connected to external stimulators and a series of experiments will be performed to identify the types of movements that the hand and arm can make and how speech abilities are affected by the stimulation. The implant will be removed after less than 30 days. Results of this study will provide the foundation for future studies evaluating the efficacy of a minimally-invasive neuro-technology that can be used in clinical neuro-rehabilitation programs to restore speech and upper limb motor functions in people with subcortical strokes, thereby increasing independence and quality of life.
To compare whether the Qigong exercise or Wu Dang Tai Chi Chuan will be effective in improving exercise capacity and reducing stress in CVD-risk individuals. Based on preliminary data, Qigong and Tai-Chi may help treat anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with chronic illnesses as well as in healthy adults. Without the need for specialized equipment, Qigong and Tai-Chi are both readily adjustable mind-body exercises that may be done whenever and wherever. For this reason, Qigong and TaiChi should be extensively encouraged as ways to enhance emotional wellbeing
The objective of this observational study is to assess the outcomes of a hospital-based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORe) program focused on exercise in cancer patients undergoing cardiotoxic treatment. This evaluation will be conducted by analyzing disease-related health indicators, functional capacity, and quality of life. Patients at risk of cardiotoxicity attending the Cardio-Onco-Hematology Unit will be offered the exercise program, which includes two modalities: in-person (center-based) and remote (home-based) options. The assignment to either modality is non randomized, based on the functional assessment conducted in the Rehabilitation Unit and the agreement between healthcare professional and patient. All participants will perform a 3-month supervised exercise intervention. There are 3 time points for assessment: at baseline (T0), 3-month after the exercise program (T1) and follow-up at 9 months from baseline (T2).
The goal of this cluster randomized trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the RISIMA model based on an integrated county healthcare consortium implemented by multi-level family health teams (FHTs)on patients with diabetes and/or hypertension, including CVD risk assessment, treatment, and management.
