PDT is a continuous pressure monitoring for Intra-Abdominal hypertension (IAH) designed to be less invasive than pan-endoscopic evaluation, more tolerable than abdominal tapping, and more effective than intravesical pressure measurement for IAH. The PDT device consists of a piezoelectric sensor module with a low power Bluetooth wireless transmitter encased in biocompatible capsule. The device will be swallowed after activation. Following PDT insertion, the patient is fitted with a custom, removable external waist accessory containing a receiver, which is worn during monitoring and provide PDT location by signal analysis with sufficient information to provide IAH trends.
The objective of this protocol is to investigate the effect of consumption of a commercially available energy drink beverage on blood pressure, heart rate, and energy metabolism
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 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.
The Chronic Disease Co-Care (CDCC) Pilot Scheme is initiated for early screening and management of people with hypertension (HT), pre-diabetes mellitus (pre-DM) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in Hong Kong. This study will evaluate the quality of care, feasibility, acceptability, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Scheme. This is a 12-month cohort study among the District Health Centre (DHC) or DHC Express, healthcare providers, CDCC participants and a comparison group of 1,886 non-participants. All the person-in charge, 2 family doctors and 1 of each allied health provider from each DHC/DHC Express will be administered with the questionnaires on quality of care and costing. All CDCC participants will be included in subject characteristics, among which a convenience sample of 548 will complete a telephone survey on experience, enablement and satisfaction of the CDCC Pilot Scheme. The health outcomes of 1,886 CDCC participants and 1,886 non-participants will be compared for evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. Participant characteristics, enablement, compliance to the standards of care, and costing of CDCC Pilot Scheme will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Differences in the proportion of patients meeting treatment targeted for HT, pre-DM and DM after 12 months will be compared by chi-squared test and logistic regressions. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio will be evaluated by comparing with the World Health Organization (WHO) threshold. This study will inform future healthcare planning and policy for manpower and resource allocation.
The aim of the research is to evaluate the Subendocardial Viability Ratio (SEVR) in hypertensive patients, using non-invasive arterial tonometry, and to establish the influencing factors and the possibility of predicting cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in arterial hypertension. The SEVR will be evaluated on all patients belonging to the Arterial Hypertension Centers undergoing non-invasive arterial tonometry. The SEVR is calculated on the morphology of the central pressure wave as the ratio between the DPTI (diastolic pressure-time index), i.e. the area between the carotid pressure curve and the ventricular pressure curve during the diastolic phase, and the SPTI ( systolic pressure-time index), i.e. the area under the carotid pressure curve during the systolic phase. The SEVR will be correlated with the anthropometric and pathology variables which will be collected in an appropriate database.
