The Program on the Surgical Control of the Hyperlipidemias (POSCH) was a randomized controlled clinical trial designed to ascertain whether cholesterol lowering induced by the partial ileal bypass operation would favorably affect overall mortality and the mortality and morbidity due to coronary
OBJECTIVE
To test the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of extended-release niacin monotherapy on dyslipidemia in persons with chronic tetraplegia.
METHODS
Placebo-controlled, blinded, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
METHODS
Three spinal cord injury research/rehabilitation
Berberine, an alkaloid with both glucose- and cholesterol-lowering action, is also characterized by an anti-diarrheal effect. Consequently, berberine-based therapies are recommended for diabetic patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or gut discomfort caused by metformin.
As the anti-glycemic
Nine patients underwent partial ileal bypass as management for heterozygous type II hyperlipidemia. The average age of this group was 12.5 yr. Follow-up has ranged from 1 to 6 yr. The growth and development of these children proceeded normally. The overall average serum cholesterol reduction was 33%
Mulberry leaf is well known for its several biological effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypolipidemic effect of mulberry leaf in non-diabetic patients with mild dyslipidemia. A within-subjects research design was conducted at the out-patient clinic in Thailand. Twenty-three
The results are reported of a double-blind crossover trial intended to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new aryloxy derivative compared to placebo. Twenty patients with hyperlipidemia not responding to dietary treatment received either one capsule of the active substance or of placebo (200
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and food-responsive diarrhea (FRD) are common chronic enteropathies in dogs, of which the exact pathogenesis has not been fully understood. In people dyslipidemia has been reported in patients with IBD, and potential therapeutic benefits of OBJECTIVE
Animal studies have demonstrated a lipid-modulating effect of yun-cai tea. However, little is known about the lipid-lowering effect in humans.The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid lowering effects and safety of yun-cai tea in patients with elevated lipid levels in a human
Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is still a little recognized genetic disease with significant morbidity and mortality in children and adults. This document provides guidance on when to suspect LAL-D and how to diagnose it. It is recommended to add lysosomal acid lipase deficiency to the
The present clinical trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a polyherbal formulation (PHF) consisted of Allium sativum, Aloe vera, Nigella sativa, Plantago psyllium, Silybum marianum and Trigonella foenum-graecum for controlling dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia in patients with
METHODS
The Program on the Surgical Control of the Hyperlipidemias (POSCH), a randomized clinical trial, was designed to test whether cholesterol lowering induced by the partial ileal bypass operation would favorably affect overall mortality or mortality due to coronary heart disease. The study
BACKGROUND
Berberine, a natural plant alkaloid, is usually used as an antibiotic drug. The potential glucose-lowering effect of berberine was noted when it was used for diarrhea in diabetic patients. In vitro and in vivo studies have then showed its effects on hyperglycemia and
This study was carried out to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of fluvastatin as monotherapy in the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia. This multicenter study started with 467 patients but only 315 subjects completed 12 weeks treatment. Patients followed a standard lipid-lowering
The first partial ileal bypass operation specifically for the reduction of plasma lipids was performed by us in 1963. Since then we have operated upon and followed for more than three months 126 hyperlipidemic patients. Clinical metabolic studies, before and after the procedure, have demonstrated a
