Filter by:The aim of our study is to understand the biological pathways involved in the occurrence of IDy in patients with HF since ID is very common and supposes a negative impact in terms of clinical outcomes in these patients. In this context, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in the development of ID in these patients and the impact on the altered biological pathways after iron replenishment will pave the way for an improvement and simplification of the preventive strategies in patients with HF.
The aim of this study is to report and describe cardiac manifestations associated with IMD in a cohort of patients followed in a reference center for rare diseases (Lausanne University Hospital, CHUV) from 2017-2020.
In order to obtain suitable exercise intervention model for children and adolescents with obese or metabolic syndrome in China, we conduct a RCT to examine the effects of different intensity exercise intervention on weight, and other cardiometabolic risk factors among children and adolescents, we also test the effects of exercise interventions on multi-omics such as metabolomics, gut microbiome, genetics, and explore the potential mechanisms by which exercise interventions modulate cardiometabolic risk. This is a randomized controlled study. Children and adolescents with obesity or metabolic syndrome were randomly divided into three groups, including low intensity exercise training group, moderate and intermittent high intensity exercise training group. The investigators will obtain organ hydrodynamics indexes by abdominal ultrasound and computational fluid dynamics technology, and obtain the metabolic regulation mechanism of the body in response to exercise through the detection of metabolism related small molecules in blood and urine and the analysis of intestinal flora, so as to explore the potential value and mechanism of different exercise modes in the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome. At the same time, the behavior and self-consciousness of children and adolescents will be investigated to obtain the suitable exercise intervention model for Chinese children and adolescents with obesity and metabolic syndrome. In conclusion, this study aims to demonstrate which exercise mode can alleviate obesity or reverse metabolic diseases, analyze which factors can sense exercise, and explore the potential mechanisms through mutil-omic approach, so as to improve metabolic syndrome.
Gestational diabetes is one of the most common medical disorders in pregnancy and is a major risk factor for the postpartum development of dysglycemia. Despite the high risk of developing dysglycemia, 50-80% of women with gestational diabetes are not receiving testing within a year postpartum. The investigators will conduct a prospective cohort study to examine the use of continuous glucose monitoring immediately postpartum to estimate the risk of maternal dysglycemia postpartum.
Insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment are independent risk factors for the development of obesity and diabetes, yet few strategies exist to counter metabolic impairments when these behaviors are unavoidable. This project will examine whether avoiding food intake during the biological night can mitigate the impact of circadian misalignment on metabolic homeostasis in adults during simulated night shift work. Findings from this study could identify a translatable strategy to minimize metabolic diseases in populations that include anyone working nonstandard hours such as police, paramedics, firefighters, military personnel, pilots, doctors and nurses, truck drivers, and individuals with sleep disorders.
The goal of this study is to understand how exogenous kisspeptin affects metabolism by evaluating responses to an oral glucose tolerance test
IBI306 is a bio-innovative drug against proprotein convertase subtilisin 9 (PCSK-9) monoclonal antibody. Currently, cholesterol-lowering drugs with multiple mechanisms of action are on the market or under development. Among them, anti-PCSK-9 monoclonal antibodies have received widespread attention due to their good safety and efficacy. The results of existing preclinical studies show that IBI306 has a clear structure, good stability, and is not inferior to other drugs of its kind in terms of drug activity, animal pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) and safety. This study is divided into two phases: the dose exploration phase (the first phase) and the confirmatory phase (the second phase). Each stage is divided into screening period, treatment period, and safety follow-up period. The first phase of this research is the randomized design of open labels. The second stage is an open, single-arm design. The main purpose of the first phase of the study: to evaluate the tolerability and safety of multiple-dose repeated administration of IBI306 in the Chinese population with hypercholesterolemia, and to recommend the dose for the second phase. The main purpose of the second phase of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of IBI306 in the Chinese homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia population. Secondary research purpose: To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of IBI306 in Chinese homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia population.
Different types of statins show different influences on glycometabolism. There are no systemic analyses of the effects that statins exert on the metabolism of glucoses so far in China. This research aims to compare impacts on the glycometabolism of pitavastatin in AMI patients with atorvastatin and to accumulate data for guiding the utilization of statins.
The purpose of investigation is to assess the levels of metabolic factors (hydroxyvitamin D, homocysteine) between patients with vestibular dysfunction of peripheral origin (BPPV) and central origin (vestibular migraine). Also we will analyse another factors (such as anxiety and depression) and optimize therapeuthical approach accordingly with the data.
The project will use carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy to assess whether high glycogen levels in skeletal muscle of patients with Glycogen Storage Diseases is a prelude for muscle damage. Patients with Glycogen Storage Diseases will be examined using carbon-13 MR-spectroscopy to quantify the glycogen levels in lumbar, thigh and calf-muscles. The pattern of glycogen concentration will be compared to the pattern of muscle atrophy found in the literature.
