Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

The DELPhi system is a software device that is used for the noninvasive evaluation of brain plasticity and connectivity. The DELPhi software uses EEG and TMS devices as accessories. Standard electro-physiological acquisition is performed using TMS to evoke regional neuronal potentials measured as EEG data. TMS-EEG data is analyzed with regards to conventional, well established characteristics of neuronal network plasticity and connectivity.

This study is a Phase 1 pilot/feasibility mechanistic experiment to help clarify the mechanism of action of an EPA-rich fish oil preparation, icosapent ethyl, on lipid changes in statin-treated patients with residual triglyceridemia.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a 12-week resistance band exercise program on insulin resistance, blood lipid profiles, body composition, and blood pressure in postmenopausal women with obesity. Thirty-six postmenopausal women participated in this study. Participants were randomly allocated into the resistance band training group (EX, n = 18) or the control group (CON, n = 18). The EX group performed a resistance band exercise training program 60 minutes per day, 3 times per week, for 12 weeks. The CON group did not participate in any exercise, dietary, or behavioral intervention. Blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood lipids, blood pressure, and body composition were measured before and after 12 weeks of EX or CON.

World Health Organization report notifies of the escalating global burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), projecting that it will become the major worldwide cause of death and disability by 2020. The South Asian countries have the highest rates of CVD globally. It is widely acknowledged that South Asians have 40-60% higher risk of CVD linked to mortality, compared with other populations. Multiple human population studies have established the concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol as an independent, inverse predictor of the risk of having a cardiovascular event. Furthermore, HDLs have several well-documented functions with the potential to protect against cardiovascular disease. This study trial is designed to find out the role of intermittent fasting to improve the dyslipidemia and particularly increase the levels of HDL in general population. Investigators expect that the intermittent fasting will significantly enhance the level of HDL and reduce cardiovascular events in general population.

Leucine-rich glioma inactivated 3(Lgi3) has been postulated to have a pro-inflammatory adipokine that inter-plays with other adipokines in adipogenesis and metabolic inflammation according to recent investigations. Thus, in this study, we sought to demonstrate that the treatment of statin can decrease Lgi3 level along with the decrease of the atherosclerosis to further evaluate the role of Lgi3 in atherosclerosis.

This study intends to evaluate the relationship between meibomitis and statin use. Meibomitis is the predominant cause of evaporative dry eye. Higher cholesterol levels were noted in patients with meibomitis when compared to controls without meibomitis. We would like to investigate the effect of statin use on meibomitis among patients with dyslipidemia.

This study is a randomized, controlled, single-blinded clinical study which conducted over six months (May to October 2016) in different Jordanian cities, where most of Syrian refugees reside. The primary aim of this study was to assess refugees' adherence and knowledge of their chronic medications, and impact of the medication management review (MMR) service delivered by a clinical pharmacist on their adherence and knowledge of their chronic medications three months following delivering the service. An informed consent form was signed by all participants who accepted to participate (n=106). Participants were then randomized into intervention and control groups. The first group would have received the medication management review service during the study period, while the to the other group directly after the study was completed (after three months' time). Two validated questionnaire were used in the study for assessment; adherence to medications questionnaire and Knowledge about chronic medications questionnaire. These questionnaire were filled by tha patients at baseline and follow up home visits.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination drug containing fimasartan and statins on the control of hypertension and dyslipidemia, and the secondary objective is to evaluate the drug cost reduction effect, patients' satisfaction level and safety of the combination drug administration.

A cross-sectional real-world data study designed to assess the use of statins in individuals assisted within the primary care system in Brazil.

This study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of amosartan Q tablet administration in adult patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia. During the routine medical visit, Amosartan Q tablets were administered to patients in need of blood pressure/LDL-C control according to the investigator's judgment. In this study, effectiveness and safety information of treatment of Amosartan Q tablets was followed for 6 months (up to 12 months), and observation of the target patients was terminated after collecting relevant data. As this study was a non-interventional observational study, all patients received prescriptions according to the routine treatment procedure, and there were no visits or procedures required according to the observational study protocol.
