NCT ID: NCT01611493 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Jaw, Edentulous, Partially

Osseotite Certain Prevail for the Preservation of Crestal Bone

OCPTI
Start date: March 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

A potential complicating factor affecting implants is crestal bone loss. The causes of crestal bone loss are attributed to several factors. Among those hypothesized, proof for one or another cause remains obscure. Clinical documentation suggests that implant design may be a key factor. While the evidence is inconclusive, various authors suggest that it is a result of a combination of effects including (1) limited drilling procedure and restricted second-stage surgery 2, (2) rough implant surface in crestal bone 3, (3) microthread design for implant stiffness 4, (4) loading along a conus versus a flat interface 5, and (5) the absence of a significant microgap 6. The practice of platform switching (e.g. placing a 4 mm diameter abutment on a 5 mm implant seating surface physically moves the inflammatory cell infiltrate zone away from the crestal bone). The growing body of anecdotal platform switch evidence supports this biological width hypothesis. Here the biological width refers to the height of the dento-gingival attachment apparatus around a normal tooth and is defined as the distance necessary for a healthy existence of bone and soft tissue from the most apical extent of a dental restoration. To formally test this hypothesis the current study has been designed. The Prevail implant has been made with an integrated medialized seating surface that establishes a platform switching function. This implant moves the implant/abutment interface away from the crestal bone and may therefore reduce the amount of bone loss observed in the standard (non-medialized) Osseotite implant design. The objective of this study is to evaluate crestal bone levels adjacent to the implant reference point from the time of implant placement to a period of two years after loading.

NCT ID: NCT01610037 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Comparison of Long-term Safety of the Combination Product QVA149A Against Placebo and Standard of Care Treatment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients With Moderate to Severe Airflow Limitation

Start date: October 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The study will assess the long-term safety of the fixed combination product QVA149 versus placebo and a standard of care treatment (tiotropium) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with moderate to severe airflow limitation.

NCT ID: NCT01596660 Recruiting - Block Clinical Trials

Transversus Abdominis Bilateral Plane Block in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy : A Randomized Controlled Trial

TAPBLOCK
Start date: August 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The ambulatory management after laparoscopic hysterectomy is a reality in our service, where 90% of hysterectomies are laparoscopically done and 80% of these are managed on an ambulatory basis with shorter hospital stay ;less than 12 hours. (OALOS 9.41 + / - (1.79) range from 5 to 12 hours and POLE 5.38 + / - (1.8) range from 2 to 9 hours) So far the immediate analgesic management has been made systemically, and the satisfaction reported by patients was high, even though some patients require longer stay in recovery and need higher doses of analgesics before their discharge criteria, allowing an optimal ambulatory management. There are several treatment options that theoretically could be used but the results have been variable and have failed to demonstrate the expected benefit. The Transversus Abdominis Plane Block consists in the deposition of local anesthetic in the plane between the internal oblique and transverse abdominal, looking to infiltrate the spinal nerves at this level, so the innervation to the skin, muscles and the parietal peritoneum will be interrupted. The TAP Block was first described in 2001 , based on anatomy marks techniques of the peripheral nerves and was developed and evaluated later by McDonnell et al.

NCT ID: NCT01583933 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Dental and Occlusal Stability

Essix Retainer vs Hawley Retainer

retainer
Start date: September 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

There are several factors involved in the decision and the retention plan, such as occlusion, patient age, etiology of malocclusion, the speed of the correction, the length of the cusps and health of the tissues involved, relationships inclined planes, size of the arches, harmony of the arches, muscle pressure, interdental proximal contact, cell metabolism and atmospheric pressure. Given these concepts, we need to find grounds to enable decision making with respect to the retainer that offers the best features of containment and stability.

NCT ID: NCT01574053 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Huntington's Disease

Enroll -HD: A Prospective Registry Study in a Global Huntington's Disease Cohort

Start date: July 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Enroll-HD is a longitudinal, observational, multinational study that integrates two former Huntington's disease (HD) registries-REGISTRY in Europe, and COHORT in North America and Australasia-while also expanding to include sites in Latin America. More than 30,000 participants have now enrolled into the study. With annual assessments and no end date, Enroll-HD has built a large and rich database of longitudinal clinical data and biospecimens that form the basis for studies developing tools and biomarkers for progression and prognosis, identifying clinically-relevant phenotypic characteristics, and establishing clearly defined endpoints for interventional studies. Periodic cuts of the database are now available to any interested researcher to use in their research - visit www.enroll-hd.org/for-researchers/access-data/ to learn more.

NCT ID: NCT01556802 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Use of Minocicline in Patients With Stroke

Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The investigators will evaluate the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale/Score (NIHSS)in patients with stroke, and then give Minocycline 100mg po every 12 hours or placebo for five days, then perform periodic evaluations to determine the status and degree of neurological sequelae developed.

NCT ID: NCT01524276 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Product Surveillance Registry

PSR
