This study investigates whether using Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) could improve the overall health of adults through removing inflammatory cytokines, lipids and toxic metal ions from peripheral blood. It's also postulated that DFPP could boost immune cells through removing certain inflammatory cytokines and blood lipids.
This trial aims to evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacists' pharmacogenomics-guided choice and statin titration for managing hyperlipidaemia. The central hypotheses of this trial are (1) clinical pharmacists' pharmacogenomics-guided choice and titration of statins will lead to a more significant reduction in LDL-c; (2) lower incidence of myopathies with the use of statins for hyperlipidaemia management over 12 months compared to usual care by doctors alone. Active follow-up and titration should occur over the first six months. However, the participants will be followed up to 12 months to confirm the sustained LDL level attainment.
Goji Berry as a functional food have been shown to reduce risk of hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, etc. However, human studies are limited in this area. In this study, it has been aimed to evaluate the effect of goji berry consumption on some biochemical parameters in healthy individuals.
This study focuses on PWV as the main outcome, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ShenJu in treating patients with hyperlipidemia combined with carotid atherosclerosis, and provide a basis for traditional Chinese medicine treatment of hyperlipidemia combined with carotid atherosclerosis.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will evaluate the impact of methylfolate, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P5P), and methylcobalamin supplementation on homocysteine and LDL-C levels in individuals with low to medium cardiac risk and MTHFR, MTR, and MTRR gene polymorphisms. The study aims to explore the efficacy of these vitamins in reducing homocysteine levels, a critical risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), while also monitoring LDL-C levels. The findings will offer valuable insights into personalized CVD prevention and management, emphasizing the significance of genetic factors in nutritional therapy.
In this study, 102 patients will be evenly randomized into two groups: one set to receive omega-3 fatty acids and the other a placebo. The process will be blinded, ensuring that neither the researchers nor the participants will know which group they are in. Each participant will take two capsules daily for a duration of 90 days, with the active group receiving capsules containing 1000 mg of fish oil each. All participants will be instructed to maintain their usual diet, lifestyle, and medication regimen. At the beginning and end of the study, various health assessments, including lipid panels and C-reactive protein measurements, will be conducted. Additionally, DNA samples will be collected for genotyping to identify patients with specific PPARG gene polymorphisms, leading to the creation of four distinct subgroups: those receiving omega-3 with and without polymorphisms, and those receiving placebo with and without polymorphisms.
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual diabetes group visits on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
To leverage access to patients across the primary care network, EPIC tools for identifying eligible patients, and the Way to Health platform to launch and enroll a program that will be evaluated in a clinical trial that is focused on changing patient behavior and powered to detect differences in improving blood pressure and cholesterol over 6 months for Penn Medicine patients in West/Southwest Philadelphia and Lancaster.
Lower attainment of cardiovascular health (CVH), indicated by the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7; physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, glycemia) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8; LS7+sleep) metrics, is a major contributor to Black men having the shortest life-expectancy of any non-indigenous race/sex group. Unfortunately, a paucity of literature exists on interventions aimed at improving CVH among Black men. The team of clinician scientists and community partners co-developed a community-based lifestyle intervention titled Black Impact: a 24-week intervention for Black men with less-than-ideal CVH (<4 LS7 metrics in the ideal range) with 45 minutes of weekly physical activity, 45 minutes of weekly health education, and engagement with a health coach, group fitness trainer, and community health worker. Single-arm pilot testing of the intervention (n=74) revealed high feasibility, acceptability, and retention and a 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.40, 1.46, p<0.001) point increase in LS7 score at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes included improvements in psychosocial stress (i.e., perceived stress, depressive symptoms), patient activation, and social needs. Thus, robustly powered clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of Black Impact and to evaluate the underlying interpersonal and molecular pathways by which Black Impact improves psychosocial stress and CVH. Thus, the investigators propose a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of Black Impact. This novel, community-based intervention to provide a scalable model to improve CVH and psychosocial stress at the population level and evaluate the biological underpinnings by which the intervention mitigates cardiovascular disease risk. The proposed study aligns with American Heart Association's commitment to addressing CVH equity through innovative, multi-modal solutions.
