Background: \- High blood pressure in the lungs, known as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), is a rare disorder. In spite of recent advances in treatment, the death rate remains unacceptably high. Lung blood vessel function can be harmed by progressive injuries, such as inflammation, leading to worsening of the disease. A drug called spironolactone has been known to improve blood vessel function and reduc...

Summary: Postoperative delirium (POD) is an acute brain dysfunction characterized by inattention, impaired consciousness, and cognitive and orientation disturbances, and is a common complication after cardiac surgery. The high incidence of up to 52% of POD in cardiac surgery patients lead to a range of adverse clinical outcomes.The brain tissue is enclosed in a rigid anatomical structure; when there is an ...

Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) affects about 29.5 million people in the United States. Only 3 medicines have been approved by Food and Drug Administration to treat AUD. Researchers want to find better treatments for AUD. Animal studies found that a medicine called spironolactone, may decrease the amount of alcohol the animals drank. Spironolactone is approved to treat high blood pressure, or heart fai...

Summary: The study aims to assess the effect of superselective adrenal arterial embolization on vascular endothelial function in patients with primary aldosteronism based on brachial artery flow-mediated relaxation

Summary: Venous pressure is often overlooked as an important hemodynamic parameter. Elevated venous pressure and blood stasis in organ tissues can lead to interstitial edema. Intraoperative venous blood stasis can rapidly increase interstitial pressures within organ tissues, especially in organs encapsulated by tissue envelopes, such as the kidney, thereby rapidly reducing effective circulating blood flow ...

Summary: This study examines the bioavailability and bioequivalence of single dose of a Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) tablet (12 mg Extended-Release Torsemide and 15mg Spironolactone). The goal of this study is to determine PK/PD effects of the FDC, 10 mg Torsemide alone, 25mg Aldactone® (Spironolactone) alone, and 10 mg Torsemide and 25 mg Aldactone® (Spironolactone) taken together in healthy subjects.

Summary: A study Comparing the Clinical Benefit of Finerenone Versus a Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) of Extended-Release Torsemide and Spironolactone in Patients with Hypertension and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Summary: This study seeks to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an intervention consisting of off-label use of a medication with strong efficacy data for alcohol use disorder (AUD) with medical management and a clinical pharmacist-delivered behavioral intervention in reducing alcohol use among individuals with HIV and AUD.

Summary: The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (preeclampsia and gestational hypertension) are associated with increased long-term maternal risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Recent evidence suggests that activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor promotes ongoing susceptibility to hypertension in women following hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. In addition, women with overweight/obesity ar...

Summary: This is a single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of quadruple immunotherapy with natural killer (NK) cells, anti-GD2 antibody, cytokines (interleukin-2 (IL-2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)) and retinoid X receptor gamma (RXRg) agonist spironolactone for paediatric patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.

Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn about the optimal dose of spironolactone treatment and the long-term outcomes on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with lateralized PA who are unwilling to undergo surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: 1. What is the long-term effect of spironolactone treatment for lateralized PA? 2. What is the optimal dose of spirono...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if, in mid- to late pubertal girls with hyperandrogenism, androgen-receptor blockade (spironolactone) improves the ability of progesterone to acutely reduce waking luteinizing hormone pulse frequency (primary endpoint).
