NCT00171015
To evaluate the efficacy of valsartan 160 mg/HCTZ 25 mg in patients not adequately responding to monotherapy with olmesartan medoxomil 40 mg or combination therapy with olmesartan medoxomil 20 mg plus HCTZ 12.5 mg by testing the hypothesis that valsartan 160 mg/HCTZ 25 mg significantly reduces the trough mean sitting diastolic blood pressure (MSDBP) after a 4-week treatment in the nonresponder population.
NCT04415333
African Americans have the greatest burden of hypertension. Recently, the short-chain fatty acid, butyrate, has been reported to have some effect on blood pressure. Butyrate is not normally ingested since it is made by bacteria in the gut as a byproduct of fiber fermentation. In this proof of concept study, the investigators will investigate the effect of butyrate absorbed in the gut (via the participant self-administering an enema with butyrate) has on blood pressure.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) has been the most performed bariatric surgical intervention until a few years ago, due to its good results in terms of weight loss and remission of comorbidities such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. However, more than 25% of patients do not obtain the expected result. There is no uniform technique to perform a LRYGB, but traditionally it was constructed using a long alimentary limb (AL) and a short biliopancreatic limb (BPL). There is no current consensus on the ideal length of the LRYGB limbs. The distal gastric bypass at the expense of a longer biliopancreatic limb (LBPL-GB) could induce more excess of weight loss (EWL%), but with possible protein malnutrition depending on the length of the remaining common limb. The aim of this study is compare a LBPL-GB (BPL 150cm, AL 70cm) with LAL-GB (BPL 70cm, AL 150cm). PRIMARY OUTCOME: to evaluate if there are differences in weight loss. SECONDARY OUTCOME: to assess whether there are differences in both groups in remission of the most common comorbidities and in quality of life. DESIGN: multicenter, prospective, randomized study in blocks (1:1), blinded for the patient and to the surgeon up to the time of intervention, in patients with indication of RYGB for obesity (BMI\>35 with associated comorbidity or BMI\>40 with or without comorbidity, excluding those of BMI\>50). Intervention: LRYGB type 1 (LAL-GB: 150cm ALand 70cm BPL) or type 2 (LBPL-GB: 70cm AL and 150cm BPL). The expected result is that the patients with LBPL-GB present better EWL%, and higher remission of their comorbidities than the comparison group
