Clinical trials

The prevalence of dyslipidemia is high among patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, many patients lack awareness and adherence to treatment and lifestyle modifications. Therefore, a more structured and intensive approach to management and education is required. This study aims to implement intensive dyslipidemia management and education for patients registered at the Hanam City Hypertension and Diabetes Education Center and evaluate changes in blood lipid levels accordingly. Additionally, the study will analyze the impact of intensive education on patients' quality of life, health behaviors, and treatment adherence, ultimately contributing to the development of effective management strategies.

\[Purpose of the Clinical Study\]:The purpose of this study is to conduct a clinical comparison of low-dose rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe combination therapy and high-dose rosuvastatin monotherapy in patients with minimal to intermediate coronary artery disease without percutaneous coronary intervention to confirm non-inferiority in the reduction of key cardiovascular events. \[Hypothesis\]:In patients who have not undergone percutaneous coronary intervention for minimal to moderate coronary artery disease, low-dose rosuvastatin and ezetimibe combination therapy are non-inferior in terms of reducing major cardiovascular events compared to high-dose rosuvastatin monotherapy.

\[The Purpose of the Clinical Study\] The purpose of this randomized comparison study is to compare the 1-stent strategy with a drug-eluting balloon and the 2-stent strategy in patients with non-LM coronary true-bifurcation lesions. \[Hypothesis\] In this study, the researchers intend to verify the hypothesis that the 1-stent strategy with a drug-eluting balloon is non-inferior to the 2-stent strategy in terms of target lesion failures (cardiac death, target vessel MI, or target vessel revascularization).

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore and verify the preventive effects of melatonin on the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The study aims to analyze the changes in blood biomarkers (phosphorylated tau, glial fibrillary acidic protein, neurofilament chain), various sleep-related subjective report questionnaire scores, physical performance, cognitive function scores and cerebellar volume change after three months of melatonin administration in patients with Alzheimer's-type mild cognitive impairment (MCI) accompanied by insomnia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does melatonin administration alter the levels of blood biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease? 2. What changes occur in sleep-related subjective report questionnaire scores and cognitive function scores following melatonin administration? 3. Does melatonin administration effect on physical performance? 4. Is there any relations between cognitive decline, phsycal performance and cerebellar volume change? We will compare the data collected before and after melatonin administration to determine its preventive effects on Alzheimer's disease progression. Participants Will: 1. Take melatonin every day for 3 months and Complete sleep-related subjective report questionnaires, neuropsychological assessments and physical performance test 2. Visit the clinic at the initial visit and after 3 months for checkups and tests. 3. Complete sleep-related subjective report questionnaires and neuropsychological assessments and physical performance test 4. Provide blood samples for biomarker analysis.

This study investigates the impact and safety of wireless monitoring on the prognosis of heart failure patients with implanted pacemakers and defibrillators. It aims to examine the frequency of unplanned early hospital visits and the early diagnosis/intervention of disease exacerbation based on the presence or absence of wireless monitoring. Additionally, the study analyzes the influence of wireless monitoring on the patient's disease progression as well as satisfaction of the study participants.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the efficacy of Rezum water vapor thermal therapy in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients. The main question it aims to answer is: * Is Rezum an effective treatment? * Is Rezum safe? Participants will be followed up for at least three months after the treatment to evaluate efficacy and safety.

The extent of hepatic resection for gallbladder cancer can be done from a wedge resection to 4b/5 bisegmentectomy. This study aims to compare the recurrence rates and survival rates between wedge resection group and bisegmentectomy group. Patients with T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer on preoperative CT exam or patients who were pathologically diagnosed as T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer after initial simple cholecystectomy were enrolled. All patients are randomly assigned to wedge resection or bisegmentectomy group. Number of patients in each group is 44. Primary endpoint is recurrence-free-survival rates and overall survival rates.
