AZUR Pharma has received several reports from practicing psychiatrists prescribing FazaClo showing that FazaClo patients start losing body weight instead of keep gaining it, after being switched from other clozapine products or other atypical antipsychotics treatments. Another important clinical observation reported by doctors is a considerable reduction in hypersalivation when FazaClo administration is compared to other antipsychotic treatments. Based on the findings described above, and on the real need for effective and safer treatments for schizophrenia, AZUR Pharma has decided to design and conduct an observational study in a large number of patients taking FazaClo to prove the received clinical reports from physicians. Better understanding and evaluation of these beneficial findings are necessary to provide physicians information for improved treatment decision.
A study with 20 de novo patients with autoimmune hepatitis, 10 receiving azathioprin and 10 receiving mycophenolat mofetil.
A reduced response to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) has been reported in smoking compared to non-smoking asthmatic patients. However, the comparative response to other currently prescribed medications such as combination therapy of long-acting beta agonists and ICS remain to be further evaluated. No significant differences were found between our group of subjects in regard to changes in asthma control pulmonary function and airway inflammation following budesonide or the association of budesonide with formoterol for a period of 2 months. This should be further explored in larger groups of subjects.
Residual renal function is reported to contribute to the survival and cardiovascular disease of peritoneal dialysis patients. Oxidative and carbonyl stress are increased in peritoneal dialysis patients and are associated with cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to determine the relations between residual renal function and oxidative and carbonyl stress in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Emotional and behavioural problems as well as a lack of social competence are supposed to be common phenomena in adolescents with borderline intellectual functioning, consequently impairing their social and vocational integration. Considering the lack of evaluated group interventions for this population, a cognitive-behavioural training is developed and its effectiveness is examined in a population of students attending special vocational schools. 77 adolescents with borderline intelligence are enrolled participated in the study. They are randomized either to the intervention group, who received 9 group sessions over a period of 3 months additionally to the standard vocational training (Social Competence Training for Adolescents with Borderline Intelligence, SCT-ABI) or to the control group who received only the standard vocational training. Outcome measures at the end of the intervention and at a 6-months follow-up assessment comprise self-reports, caregiver-reports, and behavioural observations of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural factors of social competence.
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffer from accelerated coronary artery disease. We will assess the effects of exercise training on coronary endothelial function, vascular structure, and inflammation both in serum and skeletal muscle biopsies, as well as expression of diabetes candidate genes.
308 nm excimer lamp and 308 nm excimer laser have both provide interesting results in treating vitiligo. They have the same wavelength but the type of emission of the photons is different. To date there is no direct comparative data concerning these two devices in this indication. The aim of the study is to make an intra-individual prospective comparison between these two phototherapies.
L-[3-18F]-α-methyltyrosine (18F-FMT) is an amino-acid tracer for positron emission tomography (PET). The aim of this study was to determine whether PET-CT with 18F-FMT provides additional information for the preoperative diagnostic workup as compared with 18F-FDG PET. Tumor uptake of 18F-FMT was compared with several immunohistochemical markers including L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1).
We put forward that polyphenols and vitamins have a cardiovascular prevention effect for subject with cardiovascular risk.
12-week study to compare the efficacy and safety of a course of a twice daily treatment with APS in the form of a lotion to its vehicle for the treatment of acne.
