Filter by:This is a decentralized, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to assess the effectiveness of different dietary supplements in decreasing systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) and lowering inflammatory age (iAge®). iAge® is a metric for age-related chronic inflammation and immune function decline calculated from a standard blood draw utilizing immune phenotyping and artificial intelligence algorithms. SCI is a natural process that occurs within the body. It is believed to accelerate the process of biological aging. As opposed to acute inflammation, iAge® is not a reflection of illness, infection, trauma or injury. It naturally occurs in the ambulatory healthy population as we age as a function of the body. This study will use immunotype specific dietary supplement formulations to improve a participant's Inflammatory Age® (iAge®).
This topic foe randomized prospective study.Detection of elderly patients with lunmbar spinal postoperative inflammatory substances in the blood and drainage of liquid level ,clear whether low-dose dexamethasone can inhibit the inflammation, the observation of elderly patients with lumbar spinal postoperative drainage star, to explor whether low-dose dexamthasone can reduce postoperative incision drainage, thus impove the postoprative drainage tube pull rate within three days, which in turn reduce because of the place a retrograde infection caused by drainage tube.
This study plans to learn more about the effect of semaglutide once weekly on intestinal permeability in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Simvastatin is being employed because it is a 'statin'. As a drug class, statins have broad anti-inflammatory properties. Low-level inflammation is thought to be a potentially important mediator of the effects of psychosocial stress (including loneliness) on affect and vulnerability to depression. In this study we are using statins as an experimental tool to investigate this relationship further. Statins are widely prescribed agents that are regarded as very safe and so are suitable tools in this context. We have selected simvastatin because it is one of the most widely used statins and has an excellent safety profile, being also available 'over the counter'.
The goal of this trial is to study, in three well-defined clinical situations responsible for cerebral hypoxia, the concentrations of biomarkers of thrombo-inflammation compared to a population of patients without cerebral hypoxia, and to study in patients with cerebral hypoxia the association between these concentrations and the clinical evolution.
SCI results in higher incidence of heart disease and diabetes and heart disease is the most common cause of death. Chronic inflammation, deleterious changes in vascular structure and impaired glucose metabolism are risk factors that contribute to both heart disease and diabetes. While exercise can help reduce these risk factors, paralysis and impaired accessibility often precludes exercise in persons with SCI. New research in able-bodied persons demonstrates passive heating decreases inflammation and improves vascular function. Similar studies in persons with SCI suggest they may also have the same health benefits however these studies only investigated the impact of short term (one episode) passive heating (as opposed to repeated bouts). Repeated bouts of heat exposure will likely be required to impact chronic inflammation, but this has never been tested in persons with SCI. This study will test the impact of repeated bouts (3x/week) of passive heat stress over a longer term (8 weeks) on inflammation, metabolism and vascular function.
The Trial Assessing Light-Intensity Exercise on the Health of Older Breast Cancer Survivors pilot randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of a home-based, light-intensity physical activity intervention among 56 obese, older adult breast cancer survivors, in comparison to a usual care control condition.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world. Half of patients with such cancer are treated with radiation therapy. Some patients will develop cutaneous or subcutaneous fibrosis, more or less bothersome. Several studies have shown a correlation between an inflammatory reaction and a protein, called TREM-1. But to date, no link has been proven between TREM-1 and inflammation / fibrosis in the phenomena of fibrosis induced by radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer. Our study aims to understand the involvement of this TREM-1 protein in the development of fibrosis or radio-epidermis in patients with breast cancer.
Long Covid could be much more frequent than it is thought to be. Few dwell on the great problem represented by the post covid syndrome. The virus often leaves important marks on our body, and those who recover face problems of various kinds: chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, dry cough, headache, cognitive difficulties. On the duration and resolution of this syndrome, now recognized as a highly debilitating condition, there are still no great answers: for this reason it is always important to emphasize that contracting Covid, even in a not serious form, still means exposing oneself to long-term risks that are still not well codified by the scientific community. Guidelines and more tools are expected to best assist these patients.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to characterize the effects of two exercise interventions, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and continuous moderate-intensity exercise (CME), on sleep and inflammation in older people living with HIV (PWH). This study is a sub-study associated with The High Intensity Exercise Study to Attenuate Limitations and Train Habits in Older Adults with HIV (HEALTH-HIV; NCT04550676). The investigators propose the following aims: Aim 1. Compare the effectiveness of HIIT and CME exercise interventions on sleep in older PWH. Aim 2. Quantify inflammation markers associated with sleep quality (self-report surveys) in older PWH at baseline, between (week 8) and after exercise interventions (HIIT and CME) (week 16). The investigators hypothesize HIIT will lead to greater improvement in sleep quality (duration and quality) compared to CME and older PWH who experience poor sleep quality and the CME intervention will have increased inflammation markers compared to older PWH who experience better sleep quality and the HIIT intervention. The intervention is being delivered by research personnel at the University of Washington associated with the HEALTH-HIV study (NCT04550676). Data for this study will only be collected at the University of Washington site of the HEALTH-HIV study.
