INTRODUCTION Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive and hardly reversible obstruction of the airways, which basically affects the small airways (chronic obstructive bronchiolitis), variably associated with destruction of the pulmonary parenchyma (emphysema). 10%

A telephone screening interview will be used to assess each participant's OA status and assessment of the reported duration of knee OA, current and past treatments, comorbid conditions, current medication use, dietary conditions and other exclusion criteria. Eligible, participants will be invited to

AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese

The "strong pulse disease" was treated by acupuncture, phlebotomy and leeches from 2600 to c. Modern history began when in 1628 William Harvey described the circulatory system and in 1733 stephen hales made the first blood pressure measurement. In 1896 was recognized as a clinical entity, thanks to

Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated fasting blood glucose and impaired insulin signaling (insulin resistance) and is associated with several comorbidities including neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney disease, and elevated risk for heart attack and stroke. Lifestyle

Human blood samples will be collected prospectively from 50 obese patients, who are enrolled and planning to undertake bariatric surgery in the Outpatient Bariatric Surgery Clinic at Tulane University, HSC (Christopher G. Ducoin, MD, MPH; Chair of Bariatric Surgery Clinic and Surgeon, and Shauna

Introduction Overweight and obesity have increased along with the rate of other non-communicable diseases worldwide. At the same time, the consumption of non-caloric sweeteners (NCS) has risen considerably among the general population. Although international organizations such as Joint FAO/WHO

This is a pilot study which will determine if muscle stimulation by using electro-stimulation can mimic resistance exercise and improve insulin resistance and hepatitis steatosis. We aim to recruit up to 20 patients into the study, needing a minimum of 12 subjects suitable for per protocol analysis.

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are chronic respiratory disorders with high prevalence in the general population. Tobacco smoking is the leading risk factor for COPD, and has been associated with higher risk for uncontrolled asthma. Tobacco smoking is widely extended in the

Background- The globalization of unhealthy lifestyles and demographic ageing of the world's population has contributed to the fact that high blood pressure is classified by World Health Organization as the world's leading risk for mortality. Persistent hypertension is a key risk factor for coronary

Malnutrition is characterized by a negative energy balance due to a deep skeletal muscular loss, which is itself secondary to the reduction of intake and metabolic abnormalities aggravating the loss of weight. Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, the consequences of which are a decrease

Background Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of keratinocytes, activated dendritic cells, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and recruitment of T-cells to the skin. The prevalence of psoriasis is 2-3% worldwide, with similar

Study design A phase 4, monocenter, randomized, double-blind, comparator-controlled, parallel-group, mechanistic intervention trial to assess the effect of 12-week treatment with the sodium-glucose linked transporters (SGLT)-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin versus the sulfonylurea (SU) derivative

Epidemiological studies show that active smoking increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in a dose-dependent fashion. Smokers seem to be characterized by central obesity, increased inflammatory markers and oxidative stress, which may lead to insulin resistance and irregularities in glucose metabolism.

Screening Visits - To see if you are able to take part in this study, you will first have an outpatient visit at the CTRC (Clinical and Translational Research Center). This visit will take about 90 minutes. - The following tests/procedures will be done at this visit: - We will ask you about your
