ThoraflexTM is designed for the treatment of aneurysm or penetrating ulcer of the descending thoracic aorta. Each system is advanced from a transfemoral or transiliac approach over a 0.035" guidewire and positioned under fluoroscopic control. If necessary, an arterial conduit technique may be required to allow access to the arterial system. The soft tapered tip allows atraumatic insertion into the vessel, while the catheter and sheath are designed to provide excellent flexibility and control through tortuous arterial anatomy. Each individual stent graft device is supplied sterile and pre-loaded in a single-use delivery system. The stent graft is a self-expanding endoprosthesis constructed of a thin wall woven polyester and nitinol ring stents, which are attached to the fabric with braided polyester sutures. The delivery system central catheter is a stainless steel braided co-extrusion of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyester elastomer, designed to provide significant torque control and strength, while also maintaining superior flexibility. The outer sheath is made in a tri-layer construction consisting of a PTFE liner, a stainless steel flat braid layer and a polyester elastomer outer jacket with a hydrophilic lubricant coating. These materials provide very low friction force during device insertion and deployment together with enhanced flexibility of the delivery system. The handle components are moulded from thermoplastic polyurethane. The materials of the endoprosthesis are identical to those of the current Conformité Européenne (CE) marked Vascutek Ltd. AnacondaTM Stent Graft System intended for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The materials of the delivery system are well established in medical applications. The design of ThoraflexTM is based on the same principles as other clinically established thoracic endovascular devices. The endoprosthesis is constructed of self-expanding nitinol stents and a polyester tube graft. Four proximal hooks anchor the endoprosthesis within the aorta. Unlike existing thoracic endovascular devices, the delivery system of ThoraflexTM allows repositioning of the endoprosthesis so that the optimal deployment position can be enhanced. The intended use of ThoraflexTM is the treatment of aneurysm or penetrating ulcer of the descending thoracic aorta, which is identical to other CE approved thoracic endovascular devices.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the therapeutic effect of black cumin water extract (Nigella sativa L.) on obesity and overweight
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase I, Single-Center Study on the Efficacy and Safety of CT 327 in the Atopy Patch Test model.
This is a prospective multicenter observational study with 20 patients to evaluate the performance of SCITECH stent for treatment of AAA. Will be enrolled the patient demographics, laboratory tests, medical history, clinical evaluation, physical examination, adverse events. The benefits and risks of the study should be explained before any specific test or procedure of the study. The written consent must be obtained from the patient. No action specifies the study should be performed while the patient has not signed the form of consent.
Use of Clearpath to facilitate successful completion of colonoscopy procedures with sub-optimal preparation.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, outpatient study. Recombinant deltaTM S Protein Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Vaccine With and Without Aluminum Hydroxide Adjuvant (Provided through contract N01-AI-30023, manufactured by Protein Sciences Corporation), two doses, administered at 28 day interval. 1. S Protein Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Vaccine without adjuvant: 5.0, 15.0 and 45.0 mcg per 0.5 ml dose. 2. S Protein SARS Adjuvanted Vaccine: 5.0, 15.0 and 45.0 mcg per 0.5 ml dose. PLACEBO: diluents/placebo without vaccine (Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS) with lower phosphate concentration). Approximately 84 healthy male and nonpregnant female subjects 18 to 40 years of age will be enrolled.
RATIONALE: Vorinostat and bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether vorinostat is more effective when given alone or when given together with bortezomib in treating patients with refractory or recurrent cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well vorinostat works when given alone compared with vorinostat given together with bortezomib in treating patients with refractory or recurrent stage IIB, stage III, or stage IV cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the supplementation of a medically supervised weight management program with a novel fibre supplement, improves body weight, body composition, and laboratory measurements in overweight and obese individuals. All subjects will participate in the medical weight management program however the intervention group will have 5 grams of a novel fibre supplemented to each meal while the control group will not.
Newly formed dialysis fistulae can often fail, and failure is usually due to narrowing of the blood vessels. Methods of detecting narrowing are available and, more importantly, can detect narrowings before a fistula fails. It is not known whether treating these narrowings will actually improve fistula survival or if the majority can be left alone. we wish to see if we can detect such narrowings with ultrasound scanning and if early detection and treatment improves patient outcomes.
The aim of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of two premixed formulations of insulin Lispro, Humalog Mix50/50® and ListroMix 50/50® in healthy subjects based on the pharmacokinetic parameter (PK) and the pharmacodynamic parameter (PD).
