Filter by:This study is a multi-centre, non-interventional, observational, prospective study with retrospective analysis. The main purpose of the study is to describe the rate of CKD diagnosis in patients with AH and CKD markers. This study will include 10 000 adult outpatients with arterial hypertension, who have one or more Chronic Kidney Disease laboratory markers (without recorded CKD diagnosis prior to enrolment) and have no diabetes mellitus or chronic heart failure, who are monitored and treated by cardiologists or internal medicine specialists in approximately 50 outpatient sites in about 20 regions in Russia. This observational study does not provide for any diagnostic and therapeutic procedures other than those used in routine practice.
The present study, OBPM_Calfree2024, with N = 85 participants minimum over 1 visit (lasting around 1h), has been designed to evaluate the performances and safety of the Aktiia.product-G2C that doesn't require any calibrations, as compared against double auscultation for BP reference measurements, and finger pulse oximeter for pulse rate reference measurements, for a cohort of subjects characterized by a wide variety of phenotypes.
The goal of this implementation science study is to design evidence based and stakeholder informed implementation strategies to integrate the management of hypertension (HTN) into existing community anti-retro-viral treatment (ART) delivery models of HIV care in Uganda and evaluate their effectiveness and implementation outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the perspectives of patients (hypertensive PLHIV) on integrating hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care? 2. What are the perspectives of health care providers', district leaders', and policymakers' perspectives on integrating hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care? 3. What implementation strategies would support integration of the management of hypertension into existing community ART delivery models in Uganda? 4. What is the effectiveness of implementation strategies to integrate the management of hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care in Uganda? 5. What are the implementation outcomes of strategies to integrate hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care in Uganda? 6. What is the cumulative incidence, types and severity of HTN medication-related adverse events and their predictors among PLHIV with HTN? Investigators will use qualitative research methods to explore key stakeholders' perspectives and preferences on integrating hypertension care in community ART delivery models in Uganda; design implementation strategies that integrate the management of hypertension into existing community ART delivery models; determine the effectiveness of implementation strategies that integrate the management of hypertension in community ART delivery models; evaluate implementation outcomes of strategies that integrate hypertension care in community ART delivery models; determine the cumulative incidence, types and severity of medication-related adverse events and their predictors; and assess the patients and provider costs, health related quality of life, cost-effectiveness of leveraging existing HIV differentiated service delivery models to screen and treat HTN among persons with HIV in Uganda.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate a culturally tailored computerized education program in hospitalized African-American patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main question it aims to answer are: does computerized adaptive education (CAE) increase patients' knowledge about CKD self-care and renal replacement therapy (RRT) options compared to usual care (UC) and will CAE will be increase patients' intent to participate in CKD self-care and RRT preparation compared to UC
The investigators long-term goal is to better understand novel interventions to promote cardiovascular health in humans. The goal of the proposed research is to investigate whether there is sex-specificity in the effects of dietary capsaicin on mechanisms regulating nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, its effect on key markers of cardiovascular (CV) health, including BP, macro- and microvascular function, and arterial stiffness. This knowledge will provide critical insight into the effects of dietary capsaicin on CV health and will guide future trials.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effectiveness of remote home-based exercise rehabilitation using mobile Internet technology for patients with pulmonary hypertension，especically providing early and mid-term results of its effectiveness. The main questions it aims to answer are: Dose tele-rehabilitation training improves prognostic function and quality of life in patients with pulmonary hypertension？ Researchers will compare tele-rehabilitation training group to a control group (receive health propaganda and education, and then follow their daily routine after discharge from the hospital) to see if tele-rehabilitation training works to improve prognosis. Participants will: During their stay in the hospital, the patients of tele-rehabilitation training group were accompanied by a rehabilitation trainer and a psychotherapist for a complete cycle of (7 days ± 3 days 1 week/times) standardized training. The scheme of rehabilitation is impedance training. A specialized professional team including cardiologists, rehabilitation trainers, psychotherapists and radiologists were involved. After discharge from the hospital, patients in the rehabilitation group underwent 3-5 weekly daily training sessions and intensive supervision and management by the online community at least once a week. Visit the clinic at the 3rd month of the study. Extended follow-up up to 6 months may be considered if patients are cooperative and could complete the training program in the first 3 months.
This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of semaglutide in patients with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to collect preliminary data on the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effects of a novel, remotely delivered resistance training program.
The goal of the study is to promote equitable hypertension (HTN) management across the diverse patient population found in Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LAC DHS) clinics. To achieve this goal, the study team will conduct provider- and patient-focused outreach strategies to understand how to best support adoption of blood pressure management practices already available within LAC DHS. LAC DHS clinics will be randomly assigned to one of three study conditions: 1) provider-focused outreach, 2) patient-focused outreach, and 3) usual outreach. The study will occur across 3 years with patient- and provider-focused outreach occurring in Year 1 and 2. In Year 3, study initiated patient- and provider-focused outreach will stop, and clinic use of patient- and provider-focused outreach practices will be observed by the study team. Provider-focused outreach includes increasing cultural awareness of factors that hinder and support blood pressure control, increasing access to blood pressure medications, and providing blood pressure management education. Patient-focused outreach includes using culturally sensitive educational materials and reminders to improve patient understanding of blood pressure, education on how to manage the condition, and increasing awareness of available blood pressure management resources. Clinics assigned to the usual outreach condition will operate as per usual in Year 1 but will receive patient- and provider-focused outreach in Year 2.
Though the Mississippi Delta has a rich agricultural history and some of the nation's most fertile soil, residents have experienced the legacy of slavery and economic exploitation through food insecurity and poverty for generations. This project focuses on Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower, contiguous counties in the Delta that are designated as health disparity populations. Over 65% of the 100,000 residents are Black/African American and ~30% live at or below the poverty level. Obesity rates are high and the rate of diabetes is almost double the national average. Tufts University received a grant from the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities to develop, test, and evaluate a Food is Medicine program in Mississippi. The Delta Growing a Resilient, Enriching, Equitable, Nourishing food System (GREENS) Food is Medicine (FIM) Project, is a collaborative project in Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower counties in Mississippi. The intervention involves regularly distributed fruit and vegetable produce boxes as well as nutrition education materials to the intervention group. The control group will receive produce boxes later, after they complete study activities. The project's primary goal is to improve health outcomes by creating a FIM intervention. The Delta GREENS FIM Project aims to become a model for promoting nutrition security and management of chronic conditions in varied communities nationwide.
