Filter by:This is a multi-center, open-label trial of Elbasvir/ Grazoprevir 50/100 mg fixed dose combination 12 week treatment aimed to evaluate SVR12 in treatment naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C (genotype 1b) infection, associated with of metabolic syndrome. The study to be conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practices. A total of 60 subjects will be studied at 2 sites in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Males and Females treatment naïve patients with CHC genotype 1b infection associated with metabolic syndrome (MS), 18-70 years of age, with or without severe fibrosis / compensated cirrhosis will be enrolled. SVR 12 (primary endpoint) will be evaluated. Patients will be stratified by fibrosis stage and presence of metabolic syndrome components. Interim Analysis will be performed in order to estimate viral kinetics, applicability of SVR4 and durability of SVR12 by evaluation of virologic response at week 4 and 8 of treatment and follow-up at week 4 (SVR 4) and 24 will be performed - this will be a descriptive summary only without hypothesis testing. The main hypothesis is that 12-week therapy with MK-5172 in combination with MK-8742 for treatment-naïve patients with HCV genotype 1b with metabolic syndrome is not notably worse than the same course for treatment-naïve patients with HCV genotype 1b without metabolic syndrome.
Monocentric unblinded two parallel-group randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of diet with or without Nordic Walking on weight loss, physical performance and cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese population
The objective of the present study was to compare the neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory and metabolic effects of 12 weeks of aerobic training, strength training and combined training in the aquatic environment in women with MS. For this purpose, 51 postmenopausal, sedentary and MS women were randomly divided into three intervention groups: hydro-aerobic (HA, n = 18, 63.77 ± 5.03 years), hydro-power (HF, n = 16, 61.01 ± 4.93 years) and hydro-combined (HC; n = 17; 60.52 ± 6.91). A subsample participated in eight weeks without physical exercise to characterize a control period. The three intervention groups performed two weekly sessions of 60 minutes for 12 weeks. Before and after the training period, blood tests, muscle strength tests, cardiorespiratory evaluation, functional tests and a questionnaire were performed. For statistical analysis, the Generalized Estimates Equations (GEE) model was used, using the "group" and the "time" as factors. The Bonferroni post hoc was used to locate the differences and the significance index adopted was α = 0.05.
The purpose of this study was to cross-sectionally evaluate nutritional status and the metabolic syndrome in a sample of school-age children 10-15 years of age from 20 public schools in Santiago, Chile. In addition, the investigators retrospectively assessed the association of those variables with perinatal variables (birth weight, birth length, and gestational age at delivery).
The study team's research fills the gap in the obesity literature where BMI with a cut point of 35 is frequently used to show the association between BMI and metabolic syndrome biomarkers. The study team was unable to locate any papers that showed the association between metabolic syndrome biomarkers and BMI from 35 to 69.9, and especially graphically as this clinical team has presented.
General objective: To assess the effect of vitamin D supplementation on metabolic syndrome among food insecure and vitamin D deficient older adults in Karaj city, Alborz province in Iran. A two-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted by recruiting participants. Inclusion Criteria: Food insecure, metabolic syndrome; Vitamin D deficiency Exclusion Criteria: those who are already taking any type of vitamin D supplements, Individuals with a history of allergy, Those subjects with serious medical condition such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, and etc., Intervention group: The intervention will start from 10 of May 2017 to 11 of July 2017 for 2 months. The intervention group will receive 50,000 U vitamin D3 per week (equivalent to 1,250 μg) for 8 weeks plus pamphlets and brochures about nutrition and health at the beginning of the study. Control group: The respondents in control group will receive placebo plus brochures and pamphlets related to nutrition and health at the beginning of the study. The data collection process will identify the older adults for both groups; intervention and control. Consent will be obtained from those who are eligible. Anthropometric measurement (height, weight, body mass index, and waist circumference), blood pressure measurement, blood taking and three-day food record will be obtained during baseline from all study respondents in the intervention and control groups. Primary Output: Achieving 25 (OH) D upper than insufficient serum 25(OH) D level >30 ng/l. Secondary Output: Reduction anthropometry (body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), Improved Biomarkers indicators (lipid profile, fasting blood fast), improved blood pressure before and after intervention.
The aim of the Cork and Kerry Study Phase II (Mitchelstown cohort recruited 2010-11) is to provide an updated profile of glucose tolerance status, cardiovascular health and their related factors in an Irish adult general population sample and to compare the findings with those obtained during baseline assessment of Phase I of the Cork and Kerry study (1998) and the rescreen (2008).
Attainment of peak healthy lung function during the 18-26 yr window is a strong determinant of the rate of lung function decline during the later years of life. The attainment of a healthy peak lung function is mediated by pre and peri natal exposures ( in utero environment and nutrition) and exposure to environmental toxicants and nutrition during childhood and early adulthood. Towards this Indian birth cohorts, having collected comprehensive data on maternal nutrition and anthropometry can provide invaluable insight into the factors affecting lung function growth and their effect sizes in the Indian population. Therefore, in this observational study, the Investigator will be collecting data on lung function, current nutritional and environmental exposures and linking it to pre and peri natal data of the same participants in order to understand lung function growth and the reasons for an early decline in the Indian population, using a life course approach.
This pilot study aims to determine whether adding a sleep extension and sleep hygiene intervention to an existing lifestyle improvement program improves its efficacy for weight loss in those at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Half of the participants will receive the Centers for Disease Control's standard PreventT2 program and half of the participants will receive the same program with an additional sleep intervention.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of nutrition and exercise counseling program for reducing the incidence of metabolic syndrome in prostate cancer patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy.
