Active clinical trials for "Chronic Disease"

Primary goal of the research is to determine whether injury/illness occurrence is influenced by the academic, training and competition loads, as well as the overall load (sum of academic/work, training and competition loads) in elite handball athletes To examine whether subjective measures of perceived overall stress correlate with objectively measured levels of stress. Determine the benefits of certain biomarkers to monitor stress, load and injury/illness occurrence in athletes.

In Republic of Korea, it is not easy to practice standard pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) or cardiac rehabilitation (CR). In this study, the investigators will provide newly developed smartphone application to patients with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or geriatric diseases. The investigators want to confirm whether participants, who perform smartphone application based 12-week PR or CR program, present improved exercise capacity, dyspnea symptom, muscle strength, or quality of life.

The study will be carried out during pharmacist-conducted medication reconciliation. The pharmacist will ask how the patient has been taking the prescribed medicines and whether any over-the-counter medicines and food supplements have been used for self-medication. The data will be analyzed for descriptive statistics to identify 1) the number of discrepancies between the physician's prescription orders and the patient's self-reported use of the medicines, 2) what kind of discrepancies there are, and 3) which of them negatively influence patients' medicine taking.

The associations between food nutrition and safety factors with the risk of chronic diseases are still unclear. This study is conducted in Jinhua, a city with a high prevalence of chronic diseases in China, to assess relations between food nutrition and safety factors and chronic diseases.

The researchers plain to build a large-scale, longitudinal, prospective cohort characterized by TCM dampness syndrome. With the biobank of this cohort the investigators want to find the causality between TCM dampness syndrome and clinical chronic diseases and a new way to treat clinical disease.

Purpose of study: Establishing population pharmacokinetic - pharmacodynamic models of chronic disease therapeutics for smoking patients to investigate the effects of gender, age, body weight, liver function, kidney function, nicotine, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon related metabolic enzymes and drug related metabolic enzymes gene polymorphism on steady-state drug concentration and efficacy in chronic smoking patients after taking drugs. Object of study: Smoking and non-smoking patients taking levamlodipine besylate tablets or metformin sustained-release tablets.

This is a national-level research study of primary care physicians. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical evaluation and management (drug, procedures, counseling, and others) of a subset of common patient care indications.

This trial collects and analyzes sweat and saliva samples compared to blood in detecting chemical concentrations in the body in patients with chronic or infectious diseases receiving medications. Wearable sweat sensors are capable of monitoring electrolytes and metabolites (sodium, potassium, glucose, lactate, etc.) for health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Designing wearable sweat sensors capable of providing information regarding drug administration may be challenging due to ultralow concentrations in biofluids. This trial seeks to determine if the use of a smart wristband can accurately measure the levels of chemicals and substances in sweat.

The objective of this study is to improve medication, symptom, and disease management of patients with hematological malignancies and multiple chronic conditions (2 or more conditions in addition to cancer) through care coordination between pharmacists working in oncology practices and those working in primary care or community practices (Pharmacists Coordinated care Oncology Model [PCOM]). This is a pilot study in which the investigators will examine the association between outcome measures, but the study design and sample size are insufficient to quantify the impact of OAA initiation or OAA adherence on adherence to chronic medications. This pilot study and data analyses are being done in preparation for a larger, controlled study.

Determination of both the degree and duration of the immunity provided after receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-Cov-2.
