Filter by:The study, conducted by the Universidad Europea de Madrid, examines the immediate effects of a single session using NESA microcurrents on various circulatory system variables in healthy subjects. It divides participants into three groups based on session duration (15, 30, 45 minutes), measuring pre and post-intervention changes. The focus is on autonomic nervous system responses, aiming to understand the minimum treatment characteristics needed for significant autonomic changes. Variables studied include systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and several ultrasound measurements of the common carotid artery (CSA), including thickness and peak systolic flow velocity.
Introduction This study will examine the effects of a 12-week yoga program consisting of one-hour sessions three times a week on blood pressure, sexual life and marital adjustment among hypertensive women. Hypertension can adversely affect vascular health and affect marital relationships by contributing to sexual dysfunction. Method. The study will be a pre-post test randomized controlled study in accordance with CONSORT rules. Personal Information Form, Bloood pressure measurement, Arizona Sexual Experience Scale and Marital Adjustment Test will be used for data collection.
The primary objectives of this application are to 1) investigate the effect of increased daily consumption of the Keto5 XOGenius beverage on outcomes associated with elevated risk for various neurocognitive and pathophysiological conditions/diseases. And 2) to investigate the effect of daily consumption of the Keto5 XOGenius beverage on the following variables: waist circumference, body weight, and body mass index (BMI).
The overall research objective of this proposal is to determine the impact of increased daily peanut consumption on indices of neurocognitive and physiological health in BL individuals
TripleTRE investigates the effect of initial triple combination therapy (oral endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) + oral phosphodiesterase tyüe-5 inhibitor (PDE-5i) + parenteral treprostinil) compared to double oral therapy (oral ERA + oral PDE-5i) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients (group I) with intermediate-high risk or patients with intermediate-low risk with severe hemodynamic impairment at baseline in a prospective, randomized, unblinded setting with scope of increasing evidence for optimization of therapy concepts in PAH. The effect of initial triple combination therapy vs initial double oral therapy (standard of care (SoC)) will be measured by primary endpoint: (non)response to the assigned treatment.
The objective of this observational study is to investigate and validate the utility of the Sound Touch Viscoelastography(STVi) technique in patients with liver cirrhosis for noninvasive prediction of Portal hypertension (PH). The primary research questions it seeks to address are as follows: - What is the correlation between the liver STVi index and Portal Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG)? - Is STVi an available tool to non-invasively predict PH in patients with liver cirrhosis? And the effectiveness and practicality of STVi will be validated. - To establish a predictive model for Clinically Significant Portal Hypertension (CSPH) utilizing liver STVi index as the primary indicator. The HVPG is considered as the gold standard in our study and STVi was employed to quantify the STVi index of the liver in patients with liver cirrhosis. Researchers will compare the two patients groups, HVPG≥10 mmHg and HVPG<10 mmHg, to see the usage of STVi in the noninvasive prediction of PH.
The objective of this observational cohort study is to provide comprehensive evaluation and early warning for elderly patients with chronic diseases. The main question it aims to answer is: How to explore effective evaluation methods for diseases in elderly patients based on the coexistence of multiple diseases and high individual heterogeneity? How to explore the key indicators and influencing factors of adverse events in elderly patients.. Participants will be followed up at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to obtain adverse event information.
In the frame of this proposal investigators will test the hypothesis that high normal blood pressure (prehypertension; PreHT) induces systemic endothelial dysfunction and endothelial activation in both micro- and macrocirculation, reduces re-endothelialization potential of human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and increases the level of endothelial extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are accompanied by increased oxidative stress level. Furthermore, initial vascular and left ventricle (LV) remodeling contributes to changes in systemic hemodynamics and may be influenced by altered regulatory role of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) in PreHT but otherwise healthy individuals. To distinguish high normal blood pressure effect from those considered normal or high, study will be performed in three groups of individuals: prehypertensive (BP 130-139/85-89 mmHg), hypertensive (stage I, BP 140-150/90-100 mmHg), and controls (BP less than or equal to 129/85 mmHg). Altogether, the impairment of normal vascular relaxation mechanisms, endothelial activation as well as vascular and LV remodeling could play crucial role in increased cardiovascular risk and CVDs incidence in PreHT individuals. Moreover, the prognostic significance of assessing endotehlial dysfunction in hypertension (as well as in PreHT) is yet to be established.
In Egypt, there is a dearth of understanding of the benefits of reflexology and aerobic exercise on hypertension patients' quality of life.
Evaluate whether education, a simple doctor's recommendation to increase physical activity in inactive patients, and self-monitoring of physical activity using a pedometer were effective and beneficial for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
