Filter by:The goal of this study is to determine the effect of the ENHANCE intervention in improving clinical outcomes and evaluating the effects of the intervention on implementation processes and outcomes. The specific questions it aims to answer are: 1. To test and estimate the effect of the intervention in people with MLTCs attending PHCs on: i. Detection of, and initiation of treatment for, additional chronic conditions ii. Treatment intensification and changes in medication iii. Control of chronic conditions iv. patient reported health-related quality of life and functioning v. health care utilisation and adherence vi. costs of health care 2. To use the RE-AIM framework to assess implementation processes and outcomes through measurements of reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance. 3. To understand implementation processes and outcomes within the wider context of primary healthcare, provide explanations for the observed effects of the clinical findings and identify recommendations for wider implementation of the ENHANCE intervention. The participants in the control group will receive usual care at their primary health care facility, which includes the use of the Practical Approach to Care Kit (PACK) or Adult Primary Care (APC) clinical decision support tool. Participants in the intervention group will receive care for their multiple chronic condition by a clinician trained to use the ENHANCE clinical decision support tool (intervention tool), and receive two CHW visits in their home to provide treatment literacy and adherence support.
Role of sglt2I in diabetic patients with myocardial infarction
Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale replication of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.
The aim of the study is to compare clinical outcomes between optical coherence tomography-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Acrylamide, a widespread food-processing contaminant, poses a major public health concern due to its high exposure level in the general population and its toxicity. While animal evidence shows that acrylamide causes neurological alterations and may play a role in cardiovascular disease, evidence in humans is lacking. Our project aims to investigate whether dietary acrylamide exposure, measured in blood, increases the risk of dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and myocardial infarction. In addition, the aim is to improve the understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying these associations integrating small compounds in blood (i.e., OMICS). In two population-based cohorts, the Cohort of 60-Year-Olds and the Swedish Mammography Cohort, acrylamide will be assessed in blood samples using a case-cohort design (around 2145 individuals, 20-year follow-up). The results will be presented in four scientific publications using adequate data analysis. The project will run from 2024-2028. The project´s findings will help improve public health through safer food and better nutrition. If findings indicate that acrylamide increases the risk of these diseases, this will urge interventions to decrease acrylamide exposure via food production and consumption. In turn, this will help to reduce the burden of these diseases. Even findings showing null association will be equally relevant to avoid unnecessary and costly preventive measures.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of a vegetarian diet on innate immunity of patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction and healthy participants. Also, we will assess the willingness to adapt a more vegetarian eating habit. Study subjects will follow a vegetarian diet for five weeks, whereafter a stabilisation period of six weeks will follow. Then, participants will follow to the other dietary intervention for five weeks. Blood will be drawn at given time points to analyse inflammatory parameters.
Dysphagia is an important complication in patients with medullary infarction, the incidence rate is 57%-69%. Compared with other brain infarctions, the medulla oblongata involves multiple swallowing-related nerve nuclei, and the possibility of brain remodeling after injury is small. Dysphagia has become a prominent clinical problem in patients with medullary infarction, which can lead to malnutrition, decrease the quality of life of patients and affect the prognosis of the disease. Solving this clinical problem is particularly important for patients with medullary infarction. The incidence of UES opening disorder in patients with medullary infarction is as high as 80%, and the clinical problem of UES opening disorder is enthusiastically studied at home and abroad. At present, the intervention measures include balloon dilatation, surgical incision and botulinum toxin injection. Balloon dilatation is easy to cause mucosal edema and damage, and cricopharyngeal myotomy often has complications such as local infection, massive hemorrhage and local nerve injury. There is no significant difference between the success rate of UES botulinum toxin injection and surgical incision. Among the above measures, UES botulinum toxin injection has a good clinical application prospect, but the drug dosage and injection method are still not unified in clinic. In particular, how to accurately locate has become a hot topic in current research. On this basis, this study uses ultrasound combined with balloon localization to inject UES botulinum toxin and make clinical observation.
This Randomized controlled intervention study recruited patients diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A total of 240 patients were enrolled in either Henagliflozin group or control group. Patients in Henggliflozin group will be given by oral administration of Henggliflozin for 6 months post acute myocardial infarction. Prior to procedure, dynamic changes in myocardial enzymes were monitored. Major cardiovascular events, including non-fatal myocardial infarction, all-cause death, revascularization due to angina, and hospitalization for acute heart failure. This study aims to assess the impact of Henggelizin intervention on the reduction of myocardial infarction size (evaluated by cardiac enzyme) and improvement of left ventricular remodeling in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Cocaine use has increased in our country in recent decades. It is associated with cardiovascular events and early atherosclerotic disease. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of its most frequent and serious manifestations. There is a lack of scientific information on ACS associated with acute and chronic cocaine use in Argentina. This study aims to describe the socioeconomic, clinical, and coronary angiographic characteristics, as well as the extent of atherosclerotic disease in patients with ACS associated with cocaine use, and to compare them with ACS not associated with cocaine use. Methods: We propose an observational, analytical, single-center, two-phase study, with a retrospective and a prospective component. Patients with a diagnosis of ACS admitted to the coronary care unit of a high-complexity public hospital will be included. Clinical, biochemical, coronary angiographic, extracoronary atherosclerotic disease extension and prognostic variables will be described. These variables will be compared between patients with cocaine-associated ACS and non-cocaine-associated ACS.
