Filter by:The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
Prevalence of PAD and osteoporosis (OP) both get higher with age. Clinical and epidemiologic evidence have showed an increased cardiovascular risk in OP and bone loss and fragility fractures in patient with cardiovascular disease. This study will examine the relationship between vascular disease in legs and sBMD and vBMD at trabecular and cortical sites and bone microarchitecture.
The purpose of this study is to identify the type of patients being referred for the Vascular Rehabilitation Program (VRP) and to study the success rates of the program according to improvements in walking distance and quality of life surveys. Subjects will be in the VRP for 6-12 weeks and then be followed for 12 months after they complete the program. This is a single-site study at Baylor Scott & White Heart Hospital-Plano.
This study is a prospective, interventional, non-randomized study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Noxsano Bandage (study device) in healthy subjects and wound care subjects with a diabetic lower extremity ulceration and/or arterial insufficiency lower extremity ulceration.
Non-randomized, multi-center, longitudinal study of healthy subjects and subjects with PAD who are scheduled for ABI, TBI, and either Duplex Ultrasound or Angiographic assessments in a vascular clinic.
This is an observational study of the DABRA Laser System and other medical devices intended for endovascular treatment of peripheral artery disease.
Prospective, single-center, single-arm, non-randomized study to assess the safety and efficacy of the FLEX Scoring Catheter in patients with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries.
Patients undergoing elective revascularization of their peripheral artery disease will be randomized to a prehabilitation program or usual care prior to their scheduled procedure.
Purpose: The investigators team recently carried out a proof of concept study testing the efficacy of one single 45-minute session of 10 Hz TENS prior to walking, versus placebo. In this randomized study, the investigators found that TENS significantly delayed pain onset and increased the pain-free walking distance in patients with class II PAD. From these encouraging results, the investigators now seek to assess the efficacy of an intervention that includes the daily use of TENS for 3 weeks (5 days a week) on walking distance in PAD (Leriche-Fontaine stage II). Methods/Design: prospective multicentre study / randomized controlled trial / double blinding.
Message framing involves "the presentation of choice alternatives, either in a positive or negative manner" (Huber, Neale, & Northcraft, 1987; p.137). Positively framed health messages contain potential gains of participating/refraining in specific health behaviour. Alternatively, negatively framed health messages contain potential losses of participating/refraining in specific health behaviour (Verlhiac, Chappe, & Meyer, 2011). The primary aim and rationale of this study will be to investigate which type of framing has the greatest effect on intentions to quit smoking in patients with vascular arterial disease. The secondary aim is to investigate what other factors may have an effect on intention to quit and also what factors play a part in a patient's intention to quit smoking.
