Vascular Disease

People living with HIV (PLHIV) live longer because of modern HIV medicines, but even with these treatments, their bodies are more inflamed. Long term inflammation increases the risk of heart disease, chronic pain, lung disease, dementia, arthritis, and other infections. Because some anti-inflammatory medicines can cause serious side effects, interact with HIV drugs, or be costly, safer and more affordable treatment options are needed. Genistein is a natural compound found in soy foods. It is considered safe and has been shown to reduce inflammation and improve blood vessel health. This study will test whether genistein can lower inflammation in the blood, improve blood vessel health, and reduce pain in PLHIV.

An observational, prospective multi-regional post-market registry collecting mid- and long-term data to assess outcomes through ten years of follow-up for subjects treated with GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System as a part of routine clinical practice. This post-market registry for the GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System (CTAG w/AC) is intended to demonstrate that thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for lesions of the descending thoracic aorta continues to be a suitable treatment option for appropriately selected patients.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is associated with significant morbidity and mortality; and identifying new treatments for diabetes complications to be used alone or in combination with other therapies is a high priority. Hyperglycemia triggers proinflammatory pathways leading to damage in the kidneys, eyes and blood vessels; thus targeting proinflammatory lipid mediators called leukotrienes may represent a promising therapy for diabetes complications. This clinical trial seeks to investigate whether montelukast, a leukotriene antagonist, improves kidney, eye and vascular function in adult participants with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease.

Supernova and Neutron are endovascular mechanical revascularization devices indicated to restore blood flow by removing thrombus from a large intracranial vessel in patients experiencing an acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset or from last known well time.

This study examines the role of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family and the EGF family of ligands in the regulation of non-myocytes isolated from the human heart.

A preventive, multidisciplinary primary care intervention organized around a therapeutic garden: Acceptability to patients suffering from cardio-neurovascular pathology and to those involved in the action.
