Filter by:Coadministration of drugs is common in the pharmacologic treatment of dyslipidemia, with statins and ezetimibe generally constituting the medication of choice. By acting at different levels, the combination of these drugs allows the therapeutic objective to be achieved. However, it is not known how these drugs qualitatively affect the composition of lipoprotein subfractions, which differ in size and atherogenic potential. The investigators set out to evaluate this effect as well as their effects on inflammatory, oxidative stress and endothelial function parameters.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Efforts to improve CVD risk factors often fall short in complex patients with multiple co-morbid conditions, a growing, expensive, and high-risk segment of the U.S. population. The investigators are testing a multi-component behavioral intervention designed to help complex patients with CVD and other concurrent chronic conditions to become more effective agents of their own care.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a bakery product enriched with dietary fibre and L-carnitine on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in overweight patients with or without metabolic syndrome.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of evolocumab after a single 140 mg subcutaneous (SC) dose in aduts with normal renal function or severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis.
Efficacy and safety of combination therapy of rosuvastatin and fenofibrate versus rosuvastatin monotherapy in mixed dyslipidemia patients: A randomized, multi-center, double-blind, phase 3 study
The metabolic syndrome is a group of cardiometabolic risk factors that reflect a sedentary lifestyle and the excessive intake of food among the risk factors that comprise it are located the obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension. It has been observed that the interventions of lifestyle changes that promote weight loss through the practice of physical activity and intake of a hypocaloric diet, reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases such as Metabolic syndrome. Adherence is defined as the extent to which a person's behaviour - taking medication, following a diet, and/or executing lifestyle changes, corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider. The World Health Organization has estimated that in developing countries, as in Mexico, less than 27% of people with chronic diseases will continue treatment as directed. Adherence to treatment of chronic disease is a multifactorial problem that includes not only patient-related barriers, but also providers of health services and social security systems themselves. Furthermore, as WHO has pointed out, as increasing prevalence of chronic non-adherence to treatment will become a global problem even more serious. The purpose of this study is develop and implement a methodology to overcome barriers affecting adherence to treatment of women over 20 years with non-communicable diseases such as metabolic syndrome (diabetes , hypertension and dyslipidemia) evaluating its impact through various quantitative indicators such as weight loss or metabolic syndrome prevalence. This study will include two phases: 1. Phase 1. Design. Qualitative methodology was used primarily to identify the barriers faced by individuals to adhere to treatment. From this methodology, we developed a tool to assess adherence to treatment of subjects with these conditions and then an intervention to improve it. 2. Phase 2. Implementation of intervention (24 weeks). To recruite a group of 180 overweight and two of the following comorbidities: diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia or hypertension. All study subjects will be randomized to a control group and intervention. The control group will receive a medical traditional clinical care. The intervention group will receive a lifestyle treatment with behavioral intervention to improve adherence for improve eating behaviors, physical activity and metabolic control.
A study in healthy males and females to see if a high single dose of TA-8995 has an effect on the ECG QTcF interval.
The aim of the project was the evaluation of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of a whole grain pasta, enriched in barley β-glucans and fortified with strains of Bacillus coagulans, versus a control wheat pasta on healthy volunteers, using a parallel randomized controlled trial.
The important role played by the GI tract microflora on the metabolic health of an individual are increasingly recognized. In this respect, the initial studies of Metchinkoff that suggested a role of fermented food (specifically yoghourts ) to modulate the gut microflora have evolved into the concept of "probiotics". Probiotics are living microorganisms that bring a benefit to the host when administered in sufficient quantity (WHO/FAO, 2001). Here the investigators will study, in normal young male volunteers, the potential to modulate post-prandial metabolic and inflammatory responses by the administration of a yoghourt containing the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG).
This is a multi-center survey of patients who are currently receiving lipid-lowering medications and have a moderate or higher cardiovascular (CV) risk. The survey will be conducted in the Russian Federation. Data collection for each study subject will be done within one physician visit. If an enrolled subject comes to the visit not fasting (for at least 8 hours), an appointment for the blood tests will be made for another day.
