Filter by: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.
Cardiovascular disease risk factors, including higher BMIs and poor cholesterol profiles, are on the rise and contribute to the United States' growing disease burden. Cottonseed oil (CSO) is found readily in the food supply, and the investigator's previous studies have demonstrated that incorporating CSO into the diet is sufficient to improve fasting cholesterol profile and improve postprandial lipid and/or glycemic responses in both healthy, and at-risk populations. This study aims to compare CSO to a fatty acid composition-matched diet, on changes in fasting and postprandial lipid metabolism and markers of chronic disease risk. The specific aims are: - Examine the impact of CSO vs. PUFA on fasting and postprandial lipids. - Examine the impact of CSO on other markers of chronic disease risk. Participants will be asked to: - Consume provided meal replacement shakes daily for 28-days. - Attend three weekly short visits for fasting blood draws, body measurements, and collect the next week of study materials, - Attend two longer (5.5h) testing visits which include eating a standardized breakfast meal and having blood drawn periodically before and after breakfast. Researchers will compare CSO vs. PUFA and control groups (receiving a mixture of oils) to see if CSO is unique in imparting health benefits when compared with similar matched oil diets.
Ketogenic diet therapies (KDTs) emphasize high fat and very low carbohydrate intake and help to control seizures in adults who fail to respond to medications. However, KDT use can lead to increased cholesterol levels in some adults with epilepsy (AWE). Treatments that can reverse elevations in cholesterol observed with long-term KDT use without compromising diet adherence and seizure control are needed. The proposed study will explore the feasibility and safety of diet modification and statin use to lower cholesterol in this population. Study findings will help guide doctors utilizing KDTs in adults with epilepsy on how to approach managing elevations in cholesterol.
The proposed 6-month pilot Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomize Trial (SMART) has two aims. The first and primary aim is to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale SMART to compare weight-focused (i.e., weight loss) and weight-neutral (i.e., weight loss is not an explicit goal) adaptive biobehavioral interventions for improving cardiometabolic health in Black adults with overweight or obesity (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) plus at least one weight-related cardiometabolic condition (high blood pressure, prediabetes or diabetes, and/or high cholesterol). Biobehavioral interventions are treatment strategies that combine lifestyle-based behavioral interventions such as eating a healthy diet and exercise with medications. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either weight-focused or weight-neutral health coaching for 7 weeks. At week 8, participants will be identified as either "responders" or "nonresponders" to the initial interventions. The threshold for response in the weight-focused condition is greater than or equal to 3% weight loss. The threshold for response in the weight-neutral condition is engaging in greater than or equal to 150 minutes of moderate physical activity for the 7 days prior to the week 8 study visit. Responders to the initial interventions will continue with health coaching on a biweekly basis for weeks 9-26 of the intervention. Nonresponders will be re-randomized to either intensify the lifestyle-based intervention by receiving a membership to the YMCA and enrolling in group fitness classes or augmenting the health coaching with enhanced medical management in partnership with their established primary care provider. The second aim is to use clinical data from the pilot SMART to estimate treatment effects and the between-person variability in these effects. Because this is a pilot study, these estimates will not be used to make comparisons or draw conclusions on the comparative effectiveness of intervention conditions. Rather, these data will be used to generate preliminary effect sizes that can be used to estimate the sample size required for a full-scale trial. Clinical trial feasibility data will be collected on an ongoing basis throughout the study and clinical data will be collected prior to initiating the intervention (baseline) and at week 8 (response visit) and week 26 (post-intervention visit).
The primary purpose of this study is to measure the effect of different daily doses of AZD0780 on Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C) levels compared with placebo in participants with dyslipidemia. The effect of AZD0780 versus placebo on other lipid parameters and inflammatory markers is also investigated. The concentration of AZD0780 in blood at specific timepoints is measured, and the safety and tolerability of AZD0780 will be evaluated. There is a follow-up after end of treatment, but expanded access is not available. The primary hypothesis is that at least one of the investigated doses of AZD0780 is superior to placebo in lowering LDL-C level, in percent change from baseline up to week 12.
The aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the new generic formulation (rosuvastatin orally disintegrating tablet (SUVARO®ODT) in patients with dyslipidemia.
Aim of the study: 1- Detect common types of familial dyslipidemia. 2- Significance and relationship between Epicardial fat thickness and familial dyslipidemia.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of AZD0780 on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin, and to assess the safety and tolerability of AZD0780 single dose, in healthy participants administered alone and in combination with rosuvastatin.
This study aims to describe and/or searches for, in cohorts of adult sickle cell anemia (SCA) and SC sickle cell patients living in the French West Indies and followed by SCD Reference and Competence Centers: 1-lipids profiles and associations at steady state with occurrence of sickle cell disease (SCD) complications, 2-lipids profile evolution during and after prospective acute complications (vasoocclusive crises (VOC) and priapism), 3-lipids profile variation (inter /intra individuals) during 4 prospective years, 4- Genetic primary modulators of SCD complications, 5- insulin resistance (HOMA), free fatty acids and glycerol dosages, 6- lipids enzymes, lipidome and functionality of HDL in sub-groups of SCD population.
In this study, dyslipidemia patients visited the institutions during the study period and the effectiveness and safety of the treatment of Newvast® Tab(Atorvastatin) in real-practice. During the routine medical visit, according to the investigator's judgment, with diagnosis that the Newvast® Tab(Atorvastatin) prescription is appropriate, regardless of medical history and concomitant-medication, and after deciding to start treatment, patients with Dyslipidemia who agreed to participate in the study were administered Newvast® Tab(Atorvastatin). As this study is a non-interventional observational study, all subjects received prescriptions according to the routine treatment procedure, and there were no visits or procedures required according to the observational study protocol.
