Filter by:Following acute cardiovascular injury, inflammation is vital to activate reparative mechanisms. However, there is compelling evidence implicating excessive inflammation and dysregulated resolution in fibrosis, ventricular remodelling, and heart failure (HF). Recently, the anti-inflammatory agent colchicine reduced cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction (MI) compared to placebo, indicating that targeting inflammation in acute cardiovascular conditions is feasible. Several acute cardiovascular conditions are characterised by inflammation, including myocarditis, MI, and acute heart failure. However, there is large variability in definition, epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and natural history of acute inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. This relates, in part, to the difficulty in performing adequately powered studies. Clinical studies that include sufficient patients and extended observation periods are necessary to address some of these knowledge gaps. This registry aims to collate routinely collected clinical data on patients with acute cardiovascular diseases characterised by inflammation in an observational-based registry. By doing so, the investigators hope to understand the contribution of inflammation to the pathophysiology of acute cardiovascular disease, improve risk stratification, and identify potential novel therapeutic targets.
The primary purpose of our research will be to evaluate if, in subjects with a low-moderate cardiovascular risk (CV risk>1% but < 5%) evidenced by sub-optimal cholesterol levels as per ESC/EAS guidelines (LDL cholesterol >115 mg/dL, < 190 mg/dL) supplementation with a food supplement is able to significantly influence plasma lipid levels. Furthermore, the systemic activation status of the inflammatory cascade and the arterial wall stiffness will be investigated.
This project aims to collect detailed clinical data, blood samples, and patient-reported outcomes from 2,600 lung transplant candidates, donors, and recipients at Lung Transplant Centers. The goal is to create a robust resource for various research objectives, including studying the impact of variations in donor and medical practices on clinical outcomes. The project also seeks to identify serum biomarkers associated with or predictive of specific post-transplant complications and conditions.
Type of study: Clinical Trial. Main objective: To study the effect of daily consumption of the probiotic (GI BIOTICS 100B UFC) on intestinal inflammatory markers, intestinal microbiota, intestinal health, body composition and sports performance in older adults for 8 weeks. Participant Population/Health Conditions: The study will involve 44 sedentary men with a body mass index > 25 kg/m2 and aged between 60 and 75 years. Participants Will: Be randomised into one of two groups: consumption of a placebo capsule (comparison group) and consumption of GI BIOTICS 100B UFC daily for a period of 8 weeks (experimental group). Provide feces and blood samples before and after the 8-week intervention. Undergo analysis of these samples using advanced techniques to understand the effect of the consumption of the probiotic. Undergo a submaximal stress test and muscle strength will be measured using a handgrip dynamometer.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Brazil nut supplementation on inflammation, oxidative stress and intestinal microbiota in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing conservative treatment.
this study tries to measure the effect of intradialytic ketoacid analogues on inflammatory parameters
The specific aim of this study is to determine molecular pathways that differentiate metabolically healthy vs unhealthy human phenotypes, and to investigate the therapeutic potential of pro-resolving lipids. Investigators will recruit volunteers that are metabolically healthy or unhealthy that fall within three BMI ranges: lean (18.-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (>30.0 kg/m2). Investigators hypothesize that metabolically healthy individuals have a superior endogenous capacity to regulate an inflammatory/resolving response.
This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial will test the efficacy of a probiotic/prebiotic combination ("synbiotic") on the skeleton in older women.
To explore the clinical effect and safety of 35 kDa hyaluronic acid fragment ( HA35 ) combined with negative pressure microneedle technology in improving skin problems.
A 12-week double-blind randomized control trial will be conducted among adults on hemodialysis (n=15) to determine the impact of liposomal curcumin in a high-protein product on inflammation markers and oxidative stress. Participants will be randomized via a computer-generator into either the control or intervention group. Participants in each group will be given a total of 38 g of a high protein product with or without 7 mls of liposomal curcumin for a total of 8 weeks. At baseline, weeks 8 and 12, participants will have blood sampled and complete a 3-day 24-hour recalls (2 non-dialysis days and 1 dialysis day) and a quality of life survey.
