Globally, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is projected to be the third largest cause of death by 2030 and in the US over 16 million people have COPD. Smokers are four and a half times more likely to develop COPD than non-smokers, with the likelihood of COPD increasing progressively with
Introduction High BMI and particularly fat mass index are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular conditions, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Endothelial dysfunction precedes atherosclerosis and represents an important link between
We suggest performing a prospective randomized pilot trial comparing RYGB without concomitant cholecystectomy with RYGB with concomitant cholecystectomy for patients with absence of gallstones in preoperative ultrasound. Patients with ultrasonographically confirmed gallstones in the gallbladder
Cigarette smoking is a causative factor in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), and is the most dangerous form of tobacco use. Effective treatments for smoking cessation exist but relapse to cigarette smoking is common, principally due to nicotine addiction and related symptoms of
People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are known to have exceptionally higher rate of cigarette smoking and very low quit rates compared to the general population. Although a primary rationale for conducting this study is reducing health disparities among PLWHA, there is a potential benefit of the
INTRODUCTION Hypertension is common with a prevalence of approximately one third of the adult Swedish population and similar figures reported world wide. It is associated to cardiac structural- and functional changes as well as vascular dysfunction which all can be delayed or reversed by appropriate
In adults, the incidence of fractures increases with age. In predisposed individuals, even a minor trauma can result in a fracture. Such an injury is known as low-energy fracture or fragility fracture, and the risk increases with age. Fragility fractures may be preventable, either by changes in
The trial goals The ICD-Reality study is an investigator-led, multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. We aim to determine the effect of CRT-D or CRT-P implantation in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure patients. The reason why we initiated this trial is the lack of
A simple standardization of the clinical examination (Foot Risk Grading), history collection and biological data will be organized by the study sponsors.
List of collected data, origin and circuit of the data:

Gout is the most prevalent inflammatory rheumatological disease among young men, affecting about 4% of the general population. Caused by the deposit of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals which form because of high urate concentrations in serum. Currently, there is no universal definition for
Patients with pre-existing MI are at higher risk of major cardiovascular events (MCE). Current studies mainly focus on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment in general population without a history of CVD. Because of high prevalence of ischemic heart disease, especially in developing countries
One of the treatment options for CAD is a percutaneous coronary intervention through balloon angioplasty or stent insertion . Although the restenosis rate can be reduced by using bare metal stents , the in-stent restenosis (ISR) rate is still high at around 20%-30% .
increased rates of stent
