There are about 10004 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Brazil. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of moderate energy restriction on the body adiposity, severity of OSA, blood pressure, sympathetic activity, oxidative stress, inflammatory biomarkers, metabolic profile and endothelial function in obese patients with OSA.
In patients with type 2 diabetes, the effects on blood pressure of vitamin D has been shown to be variable. Thus, the goal of this proposal is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension
To compare the acute effect of soluble fiber intake from foods or supplement after a common meal on postprandial plasma glucose and insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is a meal with a high content of soluble fiber from food determines glycemic and insulinemic response similar to a meal with a high content of soluble fiber from supplement sources.
TRAHT is a pilot randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate safety and feasibility of two red blood cells transfusion thresholds in moderate or severe traumatic brain injured patients
Background: Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is an important factor leading to dyspnea and consequent limitations in functional capacity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. It has not been completely elucidated whether pursed-lips breathing (PLB) is able to minimize DH and its effects on exercise tolerance in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of PLB on DH and functional capacity in patients with COPD. Design: Randomized cross-over study. Setting: The study will be conducted in an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program in Florianópolis, Brazil. Subjects: Twenty-five patients with COPD (16 men, mean age 64 (7) years, FEV1=41.7 (14.7)% predicted, BMI=27.6 (5.13)kg/m2). Interventions: Patients will randomly perform two six-minute walk tests with and without PLB (6MWTPLB and 6MWTNon-PLB) and two Glittre-ADL tests with and without PLB (TGlittrePLB and TGlittreNon-PLB). Main measures: At baseline and immediately after the tests, the inspiratory capacity (IC) will be assessed by the slow vital capacity (SVC) maneuver.
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the major health problem worldwide and the understanding of genetic contributions on the development of cardiovascular diseases is increasing significantly. The CD36 is a protein associated with uptake of oxidized forms of LDL and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1761667 A/G in the CD36 gene is correlated with increased consumption of total fat. The transcription factor STAT3 is released during the inflammatory acute phase response and the SNP rs8069645 G/A in the STAT3 gene is associated with abdominal obesity and higher intake of saturated fat. Studies have been shown the benefits of the Mediterranean diet in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and these dietary patterns have been often studied with nutrigenetic approach; these studies, however, are often limited to European populations, making it difficult to generalize to different populations. Hypothesis: Different dietary approaches may similarly influence in modifying metabolic, inflammatory and anthropometric profile, especially among patients with coronary arterial disease (CAD). The genetic interaction with environmental factors such as the nutrient intake, and the prescription of a different diet according to individual genotype, could influence the development and/or the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To evaluate the effect of three dietary approaches on metabolic, inflammatory and anthropometric profile in patients with CAD and possible interactions with polymorphisms in CD36 and STAT3 genes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Ceftaroline Fosamil versus Vancomycin plus Aztreonam in treatment of patients with complicated bacterial skin and soft tissue infections.
Several dental professionals recommend that complete denture wearers should brush their palate. Some advantages include better cleansing and blood flow, which may help to prevent or treat oral infections, such as denture-related stomatitis. However, there is no previous clinical trial dealing on that subject. Therefore, our goal is to evaluate whether palatal brushing may change the severity of denture stomatitis or counts of microbes on dentures and mucosa. After an initial exam and data collection, participants will receive instructions for palatal hygiene and will be assessed following 1 and 3 months. Collected data include patient-reported information, intraoral photographs and swabbing (for counting microbes). Tested Hypotheses: - There is no difference in the extent of palatal inflammation in edentulous patients with denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing. - There is no difference in the number of colony forming unit (CFU) of Candida isolated from palate and denture of patients affected by denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing.
Excessive radiation received by the operator has been described as a possible drawback of the radial catheterization technique when compared with the femoral access. The study hypothesis is that the use of radial access device dedicated radioprotective TRIPTable ® (Transradial Intervention Table Protection) is not inferior to standard femoral technique and superior to standard radial technique as radioprotection strategy to the operator in patients with acute coronary syndromes acute and submitted to cardiac catheterization.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of BAY1841788 (ODM-201) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
