The aim of the study is to examine the clinical applicability of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for sarcopenia in individuals with PWS by investigating the association between ultrasound-derived measurements, DXA-derived measurements, and sarcopenia-related outcomes.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the improvement in body composition effects of lifestyle intervention in subjects with metabolic syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: Does life style intervention lower body fat% and gene methylation levels in subjects with metabolic syndrome? Participants will answer survey questions and get blood and body composition testing done at day 0, at 6 months and 12 months. Keep a diary of their food and activity and the number of times they use mobile health application.
SWIFT-CORE-101 is a single site survey study designed to assess potential participants' eligibility to screen for industry-sponsored clinical trials. A physician will oversee the informed consent process, after which participants will be surveyed on demographics, medical history, comorbidities, and current symptoms. Site staff may collect vital signs, urine drug screens, blood draws, and urine pregnancy tests. A doctor will review medical history with the participant to determine study suitability via clinical interview. The doctor may reach out to the patient's current treating physicians and pharmacies to determine eligibility for clinical trials.
Background. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in the world is constantly increasing. Treatment of T2D is complicated by arterial hypertension and obesity (metabolic syndrome - MS). Cardiovascular complications are the main cause of death in patients with MS. Objective weight loss improves clinical and laboratory parameters in patients with T2D and hypertension. Purpose: To study lifespan, glycemic and lipid metabolism, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness of pharmacologic, surgical, and dietetic weight loss methods in obese patients with MS at 24 weeks in a comparative clinical trial. Methods: 1. st stage - Study design: An open pilot prospective clinical trial. The study included 71 adult patients with T2D and hypertension for the Ramadan fast's (RF) weight loss. 2. nd stage - Study design: A 24-week open label, prospective, multicenter, comparative clinical trial with the intention-to-treat analysis. Participants. Totally 150 adult patients with MS aged 35-65 years and with BMI≥27 kg/m2 for Asian will be included. They will be distributed in three comparative groups: drug treatment, surgery and diet. Primary endpoints: weight loss, fasting blood glucose, blood insulin level, systolic/diastolic BP. Secondary endpoints: blood lipids, heel bone mineral density (HBMD), and ejection fraction (EF). Expected results: A prospective multicenter clinical study will provide comparative results on life expectancy, glycemic and lipid metabolism, quality of life, cost-effectiveness of pharmacological, bariatric and dietary methods of weight loss in patients with obesity, T2D and hypertension. As a result of the research, the following will be published: 1. at least three articles and/or reviews in peer-reviewed scientific publications indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web Of Science database and/or having a Cite Score percentile in the Scopus of at least 50; 2. at least 1 patent for an invention (including a positive decision on it).
This observational study investigates the correlation between home blood pressure variability (BPV) and arteriosclerosis, alongside metabolic indicators, in hypertensive patients over a three-year period. The research specifically focuses on the predictive value of home BPV for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalizations. Utilizing a mobile application called Healthscan for daily BP monitoring, the study aims to enhance the understanding of how BPV impacts cardiovascular and metabolic health in a real-world setting.
Life expectancy has been increasing for the last 150 years, but the maintenance of health has not kept pace with increased lifespan, and on average, UK adults spend the last decade of life in poor-health, with major consequences for society and the individual. Persistent physical inactivity is thought to be a key contributing factor to the risk of poor health and functional decline occurring in middle-aged and older adults. It is therefore concerning that most middle-aged adults spend >8hrs/day being sedentary, with average step count of 3000-4000 steps/day. To be able to holistically assess the effectiveness of future strategies to address age-related decline in health, and devise public health messages to help individuals reach older age in better health, it is essential that the complex physiological effects that activity and inactivity have across biological systems are characterised. The goal of this intervention study is to compare the impact of physical activity and inactivity on body functioning. Twenty moderately active participants will decrease their physical activity for six months to match the average amount carried out by middle-aged people in the UK. They will then undertake 3-months of reconditioning training to restore their fitness. In addition, twenty sedentary participants will increase their physical activity to UK recommended levels for six months. Before and at points during the intervention period, participants will be asked to make some measurements at home and attend the University of Nottingham to have multiple assessments made. These include; - fitness, muscle strength and function tests, - completion of questionnaires and computer-based brain puzzles - having muscle and fat tissue biopsies and blood samples taken. - The study also involves having MRI scans. This 5-year study will commence in January 2024, with participant recruitment starting in March 2024 and finishing in May 2027.
The Investigators will create a clinical database and a Biobank of stem cells derived from the blood of participants with cardiovascular disease. The Investigators will recruit participants from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with equal representation from both sexes. The Investigators expect to create stem cells and analyze the blood for protein biomarkers and genetic causes of cardiovascular disease. The stem cell biobank and clinical data will be a powerful tool for studying cardiovascular disease.
This is a cohort study to understand the role of the human metagenome, and associated metabolites, in health and in various diseased states, in particular obesity as well as sarcopenia. Recruited participants will have their fecal, salivary, urine, serum, and in certain instances, mucosal samples taken, for metagenomic sequencing and metabolite testing. We hope to uncover various differences and signatures in the metagenome and metabolome in various diseased states, with potential future therapeutic applications in personalised medicine.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a supplement called MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) on bladder symptoms such as urgency and frequency in women aged 50-75 years old who have the metabolic syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the study design feasible and acceptable to participants? - Do participants taking the study drug get any improvement to their bladder symptoms compared to participants taking a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug)? Participants will take 2 capsules of the study drug every morning for 4 months, answer many questions about their health including questions about their bladder health, perform physical and cognitive testing, give blood and urine samples, collect urine over 24 hour periods 3 times over the 4 months of the study, complete 3 day bladder diaries about how much they drink and void, undergo electrocardiograms, have their vitals and measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) taken, participate in 4 visits to the clinical research area and participate in many phone calls of varying length. Researchers will compare participants who were taking capsules containing MitoQ and participants taking capsules not containing MitoQ to see if MitoQ improves their bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia, incontinence, etc.)
