Filter by:More than 50% of adults treated for diabetes, hypertension, or lipid disorders have suboptimal medication adherence, a prominent barrier to continued improvement in chronic disease care in the United States. Primary care providers (PCPs) often fail to identify medication nonadherence and/or have insufficient time and training to address underlying reasons for it. In this project, we propose a patient-centered and technology-driven strategy to identify patients with adherence issues and apply a team approach to help them achieve evidence-based personalized goals for glucose, blood pressure, or lipids. This intervention extends the use of a widely available clinical decision support (CDS) infrastructure to support a model of care that, for the first time outside of a fully integrated care environment, will integrate pharmacists within the primary care team. The intervention relies on a continuous health informatics loop to do the following: (a) identify high-risk patients with adherence problems at the point of care by expanding the capability of an electronic medical record (EMR)-linked CDS to identify poor adherence to medications; (b) establish and maintain an auto-populating up-to-date registry of patients identified for proactive pharmacist outreach; (c) implement a pharmacist outreach strategy based on an information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) framework recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) with demonstrated ability to influence adherence across a variety of clinical applications; and (d) coordinate care and adherence information by incorporating pharmacist assessment and action plans into CDS at subsequent office encounters.
To investigate the role of fibre viscosity (low, medium, high) in lowering cholesterol in healthy individuals
A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled parallel group clinical trial evaluating the effects of acute treatment with a PCSK9 inhibitor (alirocumab) versus placebo on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in 100 high-risk patients presenting with STEMI and referred for primary PCI. The objective is to determine the effect of acute, rapid lowering of LDL cholesterol with alirocumab added to high dose statin therapy in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. The hypothesis is that, in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, rapid lowering of LDL cholesterol with a PCSK9 Inhibitor (alirocumab) initiated in the acute setting pre-PCI, will favourably affect LDL cholesterol concentrations compared with placebo.
A double-blind and placebo-controlled study was conducted in current human study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of n-3 PUFA intervention on glucose and lipid homeostasis in Chinese diabetic/obese patients.
A randomized, open-label, single dose, crossover study to compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the co-administration of metformin SR and rosuvastatin and JLP-1310 in healthy male volunteers.
This study will quantify changes in coronary plaque volumes and plaque composition in patients treated with evolocumab. Previous intravascular ultrasound studies have shown that treatment with a lipid-lowering PCSK9 enzyme inhibitor, such as evolocumab, to be associated with a reduction of the fatty deposits that cause plaque in the arteries, however, it is not known how evolocumab affects specific coronary plaque types and plaque inflammation. Investigators will use quantitative assessment of non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and positron emission tomography (PET)imaging to evaluate functional changes in plaque burden, plaque composition and vascular inflammation before and after treatment with evolocumab. Investigators propose to show that patients treated with evolocumab in combination with statins demonstrate a greater reduction of coronary non-calcified plaque volume, thereby reducing the number of future cardiac events.
Obesity and related metabolic diseases have become a chronic disease that is a threat to human health. Bariatric surgery can effectively and long-term reduce excess body weight and relieve related metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are commonly used in bariatric surgery. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy due to simple operation, good weight loss, and metabolic disease control effect, which is more widely used. However, there are several studies that show an increased chance of gastroesophageal reflux disease after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Long-term gastroesophageal reflux may lead to Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer. Nowadays, the cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy is not clear and precautionary measures are not precise. In this study, prospective randomized controlled trials were conducted to explore the possible change of lipidemia after bariatric surgery and to explore ways to prevent bariatric surgery after bariatric surgery.
Walnuts have been shown to reduce serum lipids in hyperlipidemic individuals with a well-controlled feeding trials. Current study have been determined the effects of daily walnut consumption on serum lipids, fasting glucose and insulin levels in hyperlipidemic individuals.
To compare the pharmacokinetics and safety after a single dose administration of CJ-30061 and co-administration of Exforge® 5/160mg, Lipitor® 20mg in healthy adult volunteers
The overall aim of this study is to investigate how dairy products with different structures and textures affect lipid absorption kinetics in the acute postprandial period via blood lipid biochemistry. The study will be conducted as a randomized acute cross-over meal study. Apparently healthy men will be recruited in the study. They will on 4 test days consume the 4 dairy products and blood will be drawn the following 8 hours.
