The objective of this study was to evaluate the variability of the heart rate of exercise physicists with and without caffeine intake. Practitioners of resisted physical exercise, specifically bodybuilding, who are young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 will participate in the study. To define the sample size, a sample calculation was performed based considering as variable the RMSSD index (square root of the square mean of the differences between the adjacent normal iRRs). The significant difference magnitude assumed was 12 ms, considering a standard deviation of 16.2 ms, with alpha risk of 5% and beta of 80%. A minimum of 14 subjects per group were required in the survey. A total of 32 subjects will participate in the research, being these divided and allocated in different groups. Sampling will be of the intentional kind.
Current prospective cohort study is to evaluate the association between fasting lipid profiles (including total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A, apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a)) and fasting plasma glucose at admission with cardiovascular disease outcomes (including fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, re-hospitalization due to heart failure, revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, or cardiovascular mortality) and all-cause mortality.in patients with ischemic heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction < 45 % evaluated by echocardiography during 12 months follow-up.
The study mainly focuse on examining the subjects living in traffic polluted area and assessing the popuation health risk using disease and risk assessment models.
The overall goal of this study is to improve cardiovascular outcomes in transplant recipients. The current standard immunosuppressive regimen in kidney transplant recipients depends on a higher exposure to the Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI), and often a less than optimal dosage the of mycophenolic acid (MPA) derivative. The premise of this study is to investigate the effects of reversing this paradigm. More specifically, the effect of using maximum MPA dosages (in the form of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium [EC-MPS] or Myfortic®) along with judicious CNI exposure (cyclosporine/Neoral®) will be investigated.
The combination of HDL-C elevation, lowering of triglycerides and further LDL-C reduction accomplished by the addition of niacin to statin medication would improve endothelial function as compared to LDL-C reduction alone in patients with and without coronary artery disease and the combination of low HDL-C/high triglycerides. The combination of lipid lowering therapy would have beneficial effects on markers of inflammation. These benefits would be particularly evident in women.
