Filter by:Ramadan Fasting has multiple effects on the variation of hematological and biochemical parameters.
The study's main objective is to investigate the effects of acute consumption of a preparation containing 100 mg of a specific phenolic compound (patent pending, P201531587) on systolic BP after ingestion of a high fat meal.
The risk of stroke and vascular dementia is high in individuals who have had a prior stroke or TIA, and in those who have vascular disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, diabetes or pre-diabetes. These vascular risk factors can improve with exercise. This study will examine the impact of a 6 month, low intensity group exercise class on fitness, walking, balance, and brain health. This study will also collect fitness, walking, balance, and brain health outcome measures at baseline and post all other MERCE exercise and robotics interventions.
A randomized controlled clinical trial comparing the effect of substitution of unsaturated fat from nuts and oils for saturated fat from meat and dairy foods on serum lipids in normal weight and obese subjects with elevated LDL cholesterol.
SENIOR transplant Registry European transplant registry of senior renal transplant recipients (above the age of 65 years) receiving initial immunosuppression with tacrolimus once daily, mycophenolate and steroids to investigate long term outcomes on an observational basis.
Prompt delivery of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial determinant of survival for many victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), yet bystander CPR is provided in less than one third of witnessed SCA events. A number of barriers to bystander CPR training have been identified including time and cost of the training course. Since the large majority of arrest events occur in the home environment, studies have suggested that providing CPR training to family members of hospitalized cardiac patients may serve as a useful approach to address an environment in which bystander CPR is frequently not provided. Utilizing an existing in-hospital program to train adult family members, the investigators will assess the skills of those who learn CPR through two different educational methods: a mobile app and video self-instruction (VSI).
This study will test the effect of both Luna Rich X© and Reliv Now© against placebo pills or powder (control) on blood lipids. It will also explore the potential effects of these dietary supplements on inflammation markers and other biological and anthropometric measures. The study intervention will be 30 weeks in length. Twenty four subjects with 2 or more cardiometabolic risk factors will be randomized to participate in the study.
The primary aim is to examine both the acute and chronic effects of hesperidin consumption from 100% Florida orange juice in various doses on functional and systemic markers associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks.
Randomized trial of supplying a cold vest as compared with controls (no cold vest) on cardiovascular risk factors such as blood lipids, insulin, blood pressure and body weight and also on basal metabolic rate. Recruitment of 100 participants and 70 are randomized to being given a vest which they can use to increase basal metabolic rate during 1-2 hours (as long as the pre-cooled vest stays cool) by activating brown adipose tissue and/or shivering. The remaining 30 subjects will constitute a control group. Lab tests and anthropometrics are checked at baseline, after 2 months and after 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of interval training, based-intensity on 70% at 110% of oxygen consumption and workload attained on ventilatory anaerobic threshold, on aerobic functional capacity, autonomic modulation of heart rate, metabolic profile in patients with and without coronary artery disease.
