There is paucity of information about the combination therapy with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin and insulin. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the safety and efficacy of this therapeutic modality in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
The overall aim of this project is to improve the quality of the handoffs between hospitalists on the general medicine service at Durham Regional Hospital with the intent of improving transitions of care. The intervention will be an improved and more structured face to face sign-out process using a standardized admission sign-out sheet, which is not part of the official medical record. Daytime admitting physicians will assign an acuity score to their patients in which the severity of illness will be scored from 1-7, with 7 being the most sick / likely to have rapid response team (RRT) or adverse event. The assignment of this score would be based off of the clinician's judgment in the patient's overall assessment. All patients, age >18 years, admitted to the non-resident hospital medicine general medicine service at DRH will be study eligible. Data analysis will examine aggregate hospitalist perception of sign-out practice before and after intervention, total number of RRTs, unplanned transfers, and rapid responses pre and post intervention, percentage of hospitalist based patients of overall rapid responses pre and post intervention, percentage of hospitalists using acuity scores, and average and mean severity score of patients with rapid responses compared with those admitted. Patients have a risk of loss of confidentiality.
Neurosurgery for supratentorial brain tumor is frequently associated with preoperative intracranial hypertension. The evaluation of intracranial pressure is available noninvasively by measuring the diameter of the optic nerve sheath ultrasound. The evaluation of intracranial pressure by measuring the DNO in perioperative is not described in the literature. The investigators propose a pilot study to assess intracranial pressure perioperative surgery for supratentorial brain tumor. The investigators consider a diameter of the optic nerve sheath as normal and predictive of intracranial pressure below 20 mm Hg when less than 5.7 mm (on the average of two measurements on each eye). DNO the normal healthy adult unanesthetized is 5 mm. The main objective of the study is to compare the mean change in diameter of the optic nerve between the postoperative and D2 between groups of patients undergoing resection of a brain tumor and patients undergoing biopsy brain tumor. Pilot Study: Prospective, single-center, controlled, non-randomized, the number of patients is estimated according to the recruiting capabilities of neurosurgery for this type of patient in the institution, A total of 40 patients: 20 patients Tumor Resection, control group: 20 patients Biopsy Brain Tumor.
Part 1 : A randomized, open Label, multiple doses, cross-over, phase I trial to investigate the pharmacokinetics of Pelubiprofen IR (Pelubiprofen 30mg) TID and Pelubiprofen SR (Pelubiprofen 45 mg) BID in healthy male volunteers Part 2 : A randomized, open label, single dose, cross-over, Phase I trial to investigate the food effect of Pelubiprofen SR (Pelubiprofen 45 mg) in healthy male volunteers
The expertise in the characterization of transcriptomics profile in lesional psoriatic skin and on the availability of innovative therapy for these patients.The investigators propose to follow the modification of the skin transcriptomics profile in psoriatic patients during successful Adalimumab biotherapy. Skin transcriptomics profiles of normal skin, psoriatic non lesional skin, and psoriatic lesional skin before and after biotherapy will be compared. The investigators will focus on the modification of the cytokine "signature" in these skin lesions and of some markers of keratinocyte inflammation. The modification of the transcriptomics profile induced by the biotherapy will be correlated to the clinical response Psoriasis Area and Severity Index.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KCT-0809 compared to placebo in patients with dry eye syndromes.
The project will specifically focus on the examination of the influence of substantial weight loss due to bariatric surgery on brain functions. Our hypothesis is that substantial weight loss after Bariatric Surgery (BS) is also accompanied by changes in the balance of reward and inhibitory networks in diabetic subjects. Therefore the investigators will conduct a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigating functional measures.
The broad aim of the study is to obtain a better understanding of alterations in mesolimbic reward pathways in adiposity based on the hypothesis of a hypofunctioning reward system in obesity. This will be achieved by integrating a functional neuroimaging (fMRI) with behavioral reward tasks and the modulation of the dopamine level by dopamine depletion.
The purpose of this study is to comparatively assess the effectiveness of a tailored educational intervention to improve health literacy levels regarding upper respiratory infections (URIs) and to decrease pediatric emergency department (PED) visits, among Latino households in Early Head Start.
Objective: Primary objective of the present study was to compare the single dose bioavailability of Torrent's Montelukast Sodium 10 mg tablet and Innovator's(Merck)Singulair 10 mg tablet. Dosing periods were separated by a washout period during fasted study. Study Design: Open-Label, Randomised, two Period, two treatment, Crossover, Single-Dose Bioequivalence Study
