These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How does captopril lower BP?

"Captopril increase blood flow by opening blood vessels. This in turn decreases the strain on the heart and improves blood flow to the kidneys. These effects improve heart function and lower blood pressure."

Answered by AI

What are the effects of captopril?

"The side effects of this medication include dizziness or lightheadedness, a salty or metallic taste, decreased ability to taste, coughing, a fast heartbeat, and excessive tiredness."

Answered by AI

What is the drug captopril used for?

"Captopril is a medication used to treat high blood pressure. Hypertension puts strain on the heart and arteries, and if left unchecked, can lead to serious health problems."

Answered by AI

When should I take captopril?

"Take captopril once, twice, or three times a day on an empty stomach, at least one hour before meals. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment."

Cognitive Remediation for Memory and Thinking Difficulties

18+
All Sexes
Farmington, CT
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a neuroscience-based computerized cognitive remediation ("brain training") program can treat neurocognitive dysfunction (i.e., memory or thinking difficulties) that emerges in some older adults following a viral infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does computerized cognitive remediation improve cognitive performance and day-to-day functioning in older adults with postviral neurocognitive dysfunction? * Will treatment effects be maintained over time, leading to better long term cognitive outcomes? * Does the treatment lead to reductions in blood-based markers of inflammation as a potential mechanism of cognitive symptom improvement? * Can the treatment be optimized and refined based on feedback from participants to improve user (patient) experience? Researchers will compare the computerized cognitive remediation program to an active computer-based control condition (alternative computer activities) to see if the computerized cognitive remediation program works to treat postviral neurocognitive dysfunction. Participation takes approximately 43-48 hours over 7 months, with most activities (40-46 hours) completed within the first 7-8 weeks, including: * Initial intake visit: Eligibility confirmation (\~2-3 hours) * Computer activities: About 5 hours per week for \~6 weeks (total \~30 hours) completed on a computer tablet provided by the study and loaned to participants for use during the treatment phase * Weekly remote check-in meetings: \~30 minutes each during treatment * Blood draws: Two sessions (before and after treatment), \~20-30 minutes each * Three research visits: Pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 6-month follow-up (\~2-3 hours each, including assessments of cognitive, emotional, and daily functioning)

Freeze-dried Grape Powder for Healthy Aging

50 - 75
All Sexes
Storrs, CT
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of consuming grape powder on immune profiles in healthy middle- and older-aged individuals. Specifically, the investigators are interested in evaluating the potential effects of grapes in influencing markers of immune function, inflammation, and metabolism that are known to change with aging. Grapes contain several nutrients and antioxidant polyphenols such as resveratrol, quercetin, vitamin K and fiber, which are known to promote heart and immune health. However, the effects of grapes on altering immune profiles within the context of aging is not well understood. Therefore, this study will explore how daily grape consumption impacts certain markers of immunity in healthy middle- and older-aged adults. The main study procedures include consumption of a freeze-dried grape powder and control powder (which tastes the same but has none of the grape compounds that are being studied) mixed with water as a beverage on a daily basis for 4 weeks each. The investigators will additionally ask that participants avoid eating grapes and certain other antioxidant/grape-related foods and beverages throughout the 13-week study. Participants will additionally be asked to complete surveys about their diet, physical activity, and medical history, as well as provide blood samples and body weight measures throughout the course of the study. Participation in the study is expected to last about 6.25 hours over the course of 13 weeks and will include 7 visits.

High Salt Intake for High Blood Pressure

60 - 85
All Sexes
Bloomington, IN
Most Americans consume excess dietary salt based on the recommendations set by the American Heart Association and Dietary Guidelines for Americans. High dietary salt impairs blood pressure control by affecting systemic blood vessels and the kidneys. These changes contribute to excess salt consumption being associated with increased risk for chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in America. Salt is particularly deleterious in older adults who are more likely to exhibit salt-sensitive hypertension. However, salt consumption remains high in the United States. Thus, there is a critical need for strategies to counteract the effects of high dietary salt as consumption is likely not going to decrease. One promising option is ketones, metabolites that are produced in the liver during prolonged exercise and very low-calorie diets. While exercise and low-calorie diets are beneficial, not many people engage in these activities. Limited evidence indicates that ketone supplements improve cardiovascular health in humans. Additionally, published rodent data indicates that ketone supplements prevent high salt-induced increases in blood pressure, blood vessel dysfunction, and kidney injury. Our human pilot data also indicates that high dietary salt reduces intrinsic ketone production, but it is unclear whether ketone supplementation confers humans' protection against high salt similar to rodents. Therefore, the investigators seek to conduct a short-term high-dietary salt study to determine whether ketone supplementation prevents high dietary salt from eliciting increased blood pressure, blood vessel dysfunction, and kidney injury/impaired blood flow. The investigators will also measure inflammatory markers in blood samples and isolate immune cells that control inflammation. Lastly, the investigators will also measure blood ketone concentration and other circulating metabolites that may be altered by high salt, which could facilitate novel therapeutic targets to combat high salt.

Physical Activity for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

18 - 35
All Sexes
Toronto, Canada
After completing novel activity or exercise we may experience exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), resulting in a period of reduced muscle function and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DOMS is characterized by muscle pain and tenderness that typically resolves within a week. While the precise cause of DOMS is unknown, there is growing evidence implicating damage to the connective tissue that surrounds our muscle fibers and is related to a small amount of inflammation. This inflammation is a normal part of our body's ability to recovery from injuries and may be visualized through the use of ultrasound technology. A variety of recovery techniques have been proposed that may help with the recovery of DOMS such as massage and electrical muscle stimulation, but these are not always accessible. Therefore, we are interested in investigating whether the number of daily steps can affect how you experience DOMS.

Moisturizers for Aging

65+
All Sexes
San Francisco, CA
This is a randomized, investigator-blinded, self-controlled pilot study of the physiologic response to topical moisturizers among older adults with dry skin. The overarching hypothesis is that skin barrier decline is an important source of chronic inflammation, and that skin barrier restoration with moisturizers can reduce serum biomarkers of inflammation. The primary objective is to determine the feasibility for a larger trial, and the secondary objectives are to determine the extent to which measures of serum inflammation, skin barrier function, and the skin microbiome change in response to moisturizers. Participants will be asked to apply one of two topical moisturizers that are widely available over the counter in the US (Vaseline® 100% pure petroleum jelly or CeraVe® moisturizing cream) once daily for 4 weeks to the front of the torso, buttocks, arms, and legs. Subjects will act as their own control (i.e. they will be asked to apply the study moisturizer they are randomized to for one intervention period (4 weeks) and not to apply topical moisturizers for the other 4- week intervention period). Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to one of 4 treatment groups: i. no intervention then CeraVe; ii. CeraVe then no intervention; iii. no intervention then Vaseline; iv. Vaseline then no intervention. At each visit (baseline, week 4, and week 8), participants will undergo skin barrier testing, skin microbiome sampling, and phlebotomy to measure serum inflammatory markers.
