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.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of methylnaltrexone administered as subcutaneous injections in subjects who have opioid-induced constipation and an advanced illness. The hypothesis is that methylnaltrexone will be safe and effective in relieving opioid-induced constipation in these subjects.
Hypothesis: The combined use of Clonidine and Morphine in caudal anesthesia provides better postoperative analgesia than either drug alone after urogenital pediatric surgery.
Primary objective: To demonstrate that in hyperglycemic subjects with anterior STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), tight glycemic control using insulin glulisine and insulin glargine, i.e. Intensive Insulin Therapy (IIT), results in reducing infarct size at day 60 versus (vs) Standard Glycemic Care (SGC). Secondary objectives: To demonstrate that tight glycemic control using insulin glulisine and insulin glargine reduces markers of inflammation and improves Left Ventricular (LV) function and Cardio-Vascular (CV) outcomes from baseline values, in hyperglycemic subjects with STEMI undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to compare in a double-blind randomized trial, the efficacy and safety of ciprofloxacin MR 1000 mg tablets given as a single-dose or as a multiple-dose regimen for the prevention of infectious complications in patients undergoing transrectal needle biopsies of the prostate (TRNBP).
Prospective, randomized double-blinded study to investigate hemodynamic changes in valvular cardiac patients during dental treatment with the use of a local anesthesia containing epinephrine.
The purpose of this randomized trial is to verify if leprosy patients, despite of their classification, can be treated with the same regimen without compromising patient cure and acceptability of the treatment. At present, patients classified as multibacillary leprosy are treated for 12 months with three drugs, and patients classified as paucibacillary leprosy are treated for 6 months with two drugs. The study is going to test a unified regimen for paucibacillary and multibacillary patients by treating leprosy patients with three drugs for 6 doses.
Background: Sleep curtailment is common and is associated with increased mortality due to cardiovascular causes. However, the mechanisms are not completely understood.We hypothesized that partial sleep deprivation caused however significant changes in sympathetic activity and endothelial function in healthy volunteers. Methods: Thirteen young healthy male volunteers will be monitored during 12 days by sleep diary and wrist actigraphy. The subjects will keep under their usual daily activities and randomized to 5 nights of prolonged sleep (control) or partial sleep deprivation, interposed by 2 nights of unrestricted sleep (wash out). At the end of each period, the subjects will be evaluate by: 1. electrocardiogram and beat-to-beat blood pressure with spectral analysis of heart rate and blood pressure in the supine position and after head up tilt test maneuver; 2. resting plasma norepinephrine; 3. venous endothelial function (dorsal hand vein technique).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the absence of irritation potential (primary dermic irritability and cumulated dermic irritability) and allergy (sensibilization) of the product Dermacyd Tina Gel Tangerina Mix
The aim of this study is to characterize the process of constitution of symbolic representation in infants with Down syndrome, as well as to investigate the relationship between gestures and the emergence of oral language. The investigators hypothesis is that children with Down syndrome could present difficulties during the constitution of symbolic representation that may be related to later deficits on expressive language, generally observed in these children.
The purpose of this study is to prove the absence of photo irritation and photo sensitivity potential of the product Dermacyd Tina Gel Tangerina Mix.
