Filter by:Children with congenital heart defects have shown to develop motor coordinative deficiencies. In this study we want to show that a motor pedagogic physical training can improve the coordinative capabilities of children aged 4-6 years.
The purpose of this six site multi-center study is to determine if BTX-A can alleviate the post-operative pain and improve the functional and quality of life outcomes of children with limb length discrepancy or angular deformity undergoing limb lengthening or deformity correction.
This study will assess the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities measured in circulating lymphocytes in treatment-naive children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treated for 3 months with either extended release methylphenidate or behavioral therapy.
Contemporary management of cyanotic congenital heart disease includes three stages of surgery. Incidence of shunt thrombosis and death between the two first stages of palliation remains important. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Clopidogrel 0.2 mg/kg/day for the reduction of all cause mortality and shunt related morbidity in neonates or infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease palliated with a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt (e.g. modified Blalock Taussig Shunt [BTS]). The secondary objective was to assess the safety of Clopidogrel in the study population.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Thalidomide is effective in the treatment of arteriovenous malformations in the gastrointestinal tract.
The purpose of this study is to determine if medical management is better than invasive therapy for improving the long-term outcome of patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations.
Multidetector Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography (MDCTCA) has been recently demonstrated to be accurate and may be used as a potential alternative to conventional invasive coronary angiography, which requires cardiac catheterization, for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. The purpose of this study is to see if MDCTCA can identify significant coronary artery disease as good as or better than conventional coronary angiography (CICA). The study is designed to enroll 900 subjects and is being conducted in 6 hospitals in Ontario. Subjects scheduled for conventional cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography will receive an additional test using MDCTCA. The information gathered during the MDCTCA will be compared to the results of the scheduled conventional invasive coronary angiogram.
Each year in the United States, thousands of babies are born with heart defects. Women who take folic acid during pregnancy have a lower risk of giving birth to infants with heart defects, but the reason for this remains unknown. This study will examine the relationship between genes, nutrition, and the occurrence of heart defects in infants.
The purpose of this study is to determine which is the most effective intervention for increasing lifestyle physical activity in Fontan patients: an education (stage of change) intervention or a physical activity (mastery experience) intervention.
This study will assess what, if any, effect that ISIS 301012 (mipomersen) has on liver triglyceride content in multiple groups of subjects with varying degrees of risk for hepatic steatosis. In order to enroll subject groups with varying degrees of risk, the study has included multiple cohorts (Cohorts A-G). Additions and removal of cohorts has been accomplished with protocol amendments.
