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 aim is to identify differences in the stomatognathic system, mastication and deglutition functions between obese and normal weight subjects.
Objectives: - To find out if the chance of developing a serious illness or of getting AIDS is less if patients start taking HIV medicines at a time when their cluster-of-differentiation-4 (CD4)+ cell count is still fairly high, instead of waiting until the CD4+ count is at the level where there is good evidence for starting medicines. - To learn more about how a strategy of starting HIV medicines early might affect other aspects of care, such as the chances of developing other illnesses or resistance to HIV medicines, the frequency of doctor visits, the cost of medical care, and general health and satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to provide sildenafil therapy to patients who completed the A1481244 study for the treatment of PAH, and reside in Brazilian States where Revatio™ is not supplied by Health Secretary, and are judged by the Investigator to derive clinical benefit from continued treatment with Sildenafil. It will be supplied until patient gets access to Sildenafil through Brazilian State Health Secretary from where patient resides.
This observer-blind study is designed to evaluate the immune response and safety of pandemic influenza vaccine in the elderly population.
An estimated 3 million HIV-infected individuals will enter programs for antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in the coming year, with projected rates of requirement for ARV therapy extending to more than 10 million in sub-Saharan Africa, southeastern Asia, and Latin America in the coming decade. In these settings, Tuberculosis (TB) is an endemic infection in the population, and an estimated 30-60% of adults have been infected with TB, the leading opportunistic infection associated with HIV infection. The purpose of this study is to construct a standardized diagnostic evaluation (SDE) for TB that provides an increase in identification of participants with active pulmonary TB, without sacrificing specificity.
The main objective of this study is to compare the effect of preoperative use of anti-inflammatory topical prednisolone acetate 1%, nepafenac 0.1% and ketorolac tromethamine 0.4% of, plus a placebo, in maintaining the intra-operative mydriasis in extraction.
This study was specifically designed to provide additional information on the mechanism of action of direct renin inhibition postulating the higher-level RAS cascade inhibition. The purpose of this study was to compare the prolonged efficacy and safety of aliskiren to that of telmisartan in mild to moderate hypertensive patients in the 24 hrs Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring setting after a one week treatment withdrawal.
Descriptive analytic survey of 1137 and 518 patients aged 16 years or more before and after anesthesia exposure, respectively to assess the anesthesiologist-patient relationship role on patient postoperative perception of the binominal anesthesia-anesthesiologist. The aim of this study was to assess the anesthesiologist-patient relationship role on patient postoperative perception of the binominal anesthesia-anesthesiologist. Period: may/2007 to may/2008
The primary aim of this study is to quantify eyelid position changes in tested and opposite eyes in ptosis patients submitted to 1, 2 or 4 drops of 10% phenylephrine in one eye. The secondary objective is to correlate the eye dominance, severity and laterality of ptosis with eyelid position changes in these 3 groups.
Purpose: To determine whether implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior and posterior aspherical surface (Akreos AO, Bausch & Lomb,Inc) results in reduced ocular aberrations (spherical aberration) and in improved contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery. Study hypothesis: the implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior and posterior aspherical surface (Akreos AO, Bausch & Lomb,Inc) results in reduced ocular aberrations (spherical aberration) and improved contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery. Setting: Department of ophthalmology, Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. Overall Study design: This will be an intraindividual randomized double-blinded prospective study. Patients will be randomized to receive an aspheric IOL Akreos AO in one eye (25 eyes; Bausch & Lomb, Inc), and an spheric IOL Akreos Fit (25 eyes; Bausch & Lomb, Inc.) in the fellow eye. Ocular aberrations with a 5.0 mm and 6.0 mm pupil will be measured with a dynamic retinoscopy aberrometer after 1 and 3 months. Uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, out-focus performance and contrast sensitivity under mesopic and photopic conditions will be also measured. All patients will be followed for 3 months.
