The sustained inflammatory state in CKD is of complex pathogenesis and is believed to be in part attributable to the augmented activation of innate immune system cell subsets. The activation of the innate immune system plays an essential role within all the spectrum of cardiovascular disease in CKD,

Preeclampsia is a disease that is strongly linked with the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. This is a condition with greater prevalence in the Low and middle income countries of the world especially sub-Saharan Africa, where the morbidity and mortality is reportedly higher. Larger

The investigators aim to conduct a clinical follow-up study of three groups of children: Exposed children conceived by ART(assisted reproductive technology) after frozen embryo transfer (FET) and two unexposed control groups; (1) Children conceived by ART after fresh embryo transfer and (2)

Many cohort studies have demonstrated that hypertension is a strong risk factor for total mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in both developing and developed countries. Although brachial blood pressure (BP) mea¬surements have been used for over a century more and more data suggest that

Background Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), including its more pathologic consequence, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is believed to be the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, affecting between 6 to 37% of the population. NAFLD is a so called 'silent killer', as clinical

About 30% of the world adult population is affected by hypertension in industrialised countries. Elevated arterial pressure is the major cause of cardiovascular mortality and international guidelines emphasise the benefits of reducing blood pressure. The current antihypertensive strategies may

This is a cross-sectional study performed in a non-probabilistic sample for convenience, derived from information collected from medical records of the Medical Statistics Service. Data were obtained through clinical evaluation information and subsidiary examinations of 50 high performance field

This will be a parallel randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio, comparing endoscopic argon plasma coagulation to reduce the enlargement of the anastomosis diameter for the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass versus control with an initial diagnostic endoscopic followed by observation. The

The main objective is to evaluate the effect of the combination of metformin / inulin on clinical, urodynamic parameters as well as metabolic and inflammatory profile in patients with benign prostate hypertrophy and metabolic syndrome. The investigators conducted a double-blind trial, randomized, on

Overview of Medical Indication Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased heart failure risk. The increased risk results in part from poor glycemic control and obesity, but concomitant arterial hypertension may also contribute. In the Framingham Heart Study, heart failure risk increased

Study Design and Population In this study, patients who underwent stable hemodialysis at least 3 months at Tung Taichung Metroharbor Hospital will be enrolled. Baseline clinical data such as age, sex, height, bodyweight , clinical etiology of Chronic kidney disease(CKD) if possible, comorbidities,

This is a Phase IV, 48-week, open-label, pilot study in 30 ARV-naïve patients examining the safety, viral response, and tolerability of darunavir/cobicistat in combination with rilpivirine once daily for the treatment of HIV in treatment-naïve patients. Thirty subjects meeting the inclusion criteria

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a highly prevalent condition characterized by visceral obesity, abnormalities of glucidic and lipid metabolism, and increased risk for cardiovascular events. Such findings appear to be associated with a decrease in insulin sensitivity. Management of metabolic syndrome is

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT. Arterial Hypertension (AH) is an important clinical social and economic problem and a major risk factor of coronary artery disease, heart failure, kidney failure and stroke. The risk of organ damage can be significantly reduced just by achieving proper control of blood
