The aim of the study is to show the safety and efficacy of the SeQuent® Please (Drug Eluting Balloon or DEB) vs. commonly used Drug Eluting Stents in the treatment of small vessel disease and side branches by pressure wire guided percutaneous coronary intervention.
According to our experimental experiences w hypothesized that blood boron levels may be corralated to body mass index.
We wish to compare the effect of very clean water used for dialysis therapy (i.e ultrapure water) in comparison with the use of conventional water which are used in most dialysis units worldwide. To the best of our knowledge prospective data in that field is sparse.
Botulinum toxin type A injected into the anterior and middle scalene muscles will reduce the irritation on the neurovascular structures at the interscalene triangle in subjects with TOS. This will lead to reductions in pain and paresthesias, and improvements in function when compared with injection of placebo.
Comparison of the quality of the outpatient clinic electrocardiogram performed on patients sent to a cardiology consultation with a standard cable and the PhysioGlove-ES electrocardiograms performed in the cardiology clinic.
The purpose of this observational, exploratory study in patients undergoing any cardiac valve replacement or repair is to assess the rate of bacterial colonization over native degenerative calcified cardiac valves.
The study will examine the influence of a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) short-term group intervention program on the levels of psychological stress and professional exhaustion experienced by the nursing staff in a cardiac department.
Nickel contact dermatitis (eczema) is one of the most common allergic conditions affecting the skin. This is a study looking at potentially desensitizing nickel-allergic patients to their allergy using anti-inflammatory ointments applied to the skin (arm). Application of these ointments (ie. modified Vitamin D) has been shown to increase specific immune cells (T regulatory cells), which play a role in preventing immune activation and subsequently inflammation. The investigators propose use of topical anti-inflammatory agents (corticosteroids, modified Vitamin D, or both) may desensitize patients with nickel allergy.
This study will examine the efficacy of group therapy utilizing the Existential Approach in heart failure patients when compared to a control group of patients who are waiting for the same group treatment. This comparison will be achieved by measuring changes in the variables studied namely, the levels of psychological distress and levels of psycho-social adjustment.
The overall objective is to investigate whether antibiotics in the treatment of clinically clean neuropathic and ischaemic ulcers in diabetic foot patients could reduce the incidence of infection and therefore lead to improved outcomes This is a single centre study in which patients with either type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus, who consecutively present to the Diabetic Foot Clinic [DFC] with clean neuropathic (NU) or ischaemic (IU) diabetic foot ulcer without clinical signs of infection will be invited to take part and will express their willingness to take part in the study by signing a consent form. - All patients will be treated and followed up in the DFC at King's College Hospital. Patients will be randomised into two groups: an antibiotic group and a control group. - The antibiotic group will receive standard treatment along with antibiotics. - The control group will have standard treatment alone. - Patients from both groups will be reviewed at weekly intervals for a period of 20 weeks. - Patients will be removed from the study if they develop clinical signs of infection or if their ulcer heals prior to 20 weeks but will be followed up via routine practice for eventual outcomes
