Incentives for Physical Activity for Older Adults
Inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, leading to chronic diseases. Much of the world's population is inactive, and older adults are at highest risk. Incentive-based interventions show promise for improving activity levels. The investigators propose to conduct a study to evaluate the impact of incentives on …
Mono vs. Dual Therapy for Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with …
Esketamine Induction Intubation in ICU Patients.
Intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is usually an emergency. Pathophysiological changes such as shock, respiratory failure, and metabolic acidosis in critically ill patients can significantly increase the incidence of adverse events during intubation. Studies have shown that esketamine has no significant effect on body metabolism, endocrine system, liver, …
Ulinastatin Improves and Prevents Cardiac Dysfunction Induced by Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This project explores the role and mechanism of ulinastatin in preventing cardiac dysfunction caused by cardiopulmonary bypass by reducing cardiac endothelial permeability through clinical research. Our previous basic research has found that inhibiting the TK/B1R/ARNT/MMP3/iNOS signaling axis in the acute phase of cardiac R/I can reduce the permeability of cardiac …
Efficacy of Consolidative Involved-site Radiotherapy for Patients With Limited-stage Follicular Lymphoma
Radiotherapy (RT) is an important option for patients with limited stage FL. The recommended approach for patients with limited stage FL by The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is 24Gy~30Gy consolidation RT following effective systemic therapy. There is no universal consensus for a ''standard'' RT field size in the treatment …
Nutritional Stimulation of Muscle Protein Synthesis and Metabolic Rate After Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity but results in loss of muscle mass. The investigators will test the hypothesis that consumption of an Essential Amino Acid-based nutritional formulation will maintain muscle mass while stimulating fat loss after bariatric surgery.
Dietary Fiber Effects on the Microbiome and Satiety
Strong evidence supports the association between high fiber (HiFi) diets (e.g. legumes, nuts, vegetables) and a reduced risk for chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes and some forms of cancer. However, the current U.S. average consumption of dietary fiber of 17g/day is significantly below the recommendation …
Short and Intermediate Term Effect of Dapagliflozin on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Anterior STEMI Patients
Methodology This study will enroll (120) patients presenting with acute anterior STEMI who will undergo early reperfusion presenting at Helwan University Hospitals and Ain Shams University Hospitals. Diagnosis of STEMI will be based on: Sustained ST-segment elevation of at least 1 mm in at least 2 contiguous leads or new/presumably …
Functional Remediation for Older Adults With Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a chronic and severe mental illness characterized by the emergence of alternating mood episodes which range from extreme depression to manic states. Beyond affective episodes, there is consensus considering that cognitive and functional impairment are also core features in a substantial proportion of patients suffering from …
mACTonHEALTH: Psychological Flexibility and Activity Tracker - Protocol
Obesity and overweight are growing steadily and becoming a global epidemic. Recent researches report a 64% of the adult population as overweight. The social and economical impact is increasing and the most of the rehabilitation programs, while effective in the short term, do not produce long lasting results. From a …
