This study will test a 2-tiered tailored intervention and evaluation of cardiovascular health outcomes among survivors designed to inform childhood cancer survivors about their individual cardiac risk and follow-up recommendations and to provide motivational support for cardiovascular (CV) screening. This study will test if the addition of telephone motivational interviewing, tailored to behavioral constructs, is superior to the current standard of care in increasing survivors' CV screening.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a school based health promotion program in secondary schools is effective with respect to an increase of physical activity, physical fitness and health.
To demonstrate a higher percent rate of achieved target lipid goals among patients at high cardiovascular risk using more potent lipid-lowering treatment options including high-potency statins and combination therapies.
The investigators propose to perform a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial to examine the hypothesis that soy protein with isoflavones could improve glycemic control, insulin sensitivity and decrease cardiovascular risk factors in postmenopausal women with prediabetes.
The purpose of this study is to examine the postprandial (anytime after a meal) effect of different dietary fats on endothelial function in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected men.
We are conducting an intervention study to examine the effects of a 16-week exercise and diet interventions on prevention of disease, specifically type 2 diabetes and heart disease, in Latino youth. Eighty overweight Latino boys and girls will be recruited and placed in one of the following intervention groups: 1) Control Group (delayed intervention), 2) Dietary Education Group (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar & soda, increased fiber & whole grain intake), 3) Combination of Strength Training (twice/week for 60 min, progressive increases in exercise volume and intensity) + Dietary Education (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar & soda, increased fiber & whole grain intake) or 4) Combination of Circuit Training (twice/week for 60 min, aerobic + strength training exercises) + Dietary Education (same as above). We will assess which intervention group has the most effects on health parameters such as weight, body composition, and insulin related measures.
Patients with sleep apnea syndrome have repeated apneic events that induce periodic hypoxia-reoxygenation, drawing away an overproduction of oxidants. This exaggerated generation of oxidants is associated with a dysfunction of the vascular endothelium that evolves, in its turn, towards cardiovascular diseases such as systemic hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction. The major aim of our study is to examine the effect of CPAP treatment on biochemical (markers of oxidative stress) and functional (endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation reactivity) abnormalities at 1 and 4 weeks of treatment.
