NCT ID: NCT00955123 Completed - Clinical trials for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Effects of Prednisolone and Infliximab on the Regulation of Urea Synthesis in Active Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Start date: January 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Loss of total mass of muscles (catabolism) is a serious clinical problem in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The investigators have earlier shown that the liver plays an important role in this stress-catabolism by increasing the production of urea during the inflammatory process. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the anti-inflammatory drugs prednisolone and infliximab on the regulation of the urea synthesis in patients with active ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

NCT ID: NCT00954746 Completed - Dupuytren's Disease Clinical Trials

Longterm Observational Study in Subjects Treated With AA4500 in AUX-CC-854, 856, 857, 858 & 859

Start date: July 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of study AUX-CC-860 is to assess the durability of response of the AA4500 treatment regimen. This study will also evaluate long-term safety and progression of disease in joints.

NCT ID: NCT00953550 Completed - Clinical trials for Rapid Sequence Intubation

Rapid Sequence Intubation With Rocuronium-Sugammadex Compared With Succinylcholine

Start date: September 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Rapid sequence intubation is used, when there is an elevated risk of aspiration to the lungs of stomach content. It is typically used in acute settings that require acute surgery or in prehospital settings, but also in specific risk patients requiring elective surgery. The reason for conducting rapid sequence intubation is to minimize the risk of pulmonary aspiration and at the same time achieve a fast induction of anaesthesia and intubation. Rapid sequence intubation is a procedure with a high risk of complications in itself. The time period from induction of anaesthesia to intubation is particularly risky, because the patient is apneic. This study addresses this problem by investigating, how quickly spontaneous respiration can be reestablished after a rapid sequence intubation when using Rocuronium-Sugammadex compared to Succinylcholine. This is a pilot protocol that is intended to establish a sample size for the full protocol. Study hypothesis: The time from correct tube placement to spontaneous respiration is shorter when using Rocuronium/Sugammadex compared to Succinylcholine.

NCT ID: NCT00953433 Completed - Clinical trials for Intubation Complication

Laryngeal Morbidity After Endotracheal Intubation - Endoflex-tube Versus Use of Stylet

Start date: April 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is aimed at reducing the risk of hoarseness and damage to the vocal cords following general anaesthesia. Conventional endotracheal intubation with use of a stylet will be compared with the Endoflex tube. A conventional stylet enforced endotracheal tube is dirigible because of the stiffness gained by the addition of a stylet. In high risk rapid sequence intubation settings the enhanced dirigibility can be crucial, which is why most anaesthesiologists choose to add the stylet in these situations. A new endotracheal tube with a dynamic dirigible end called the Endoflex tube might prove to be a good alternative to the conventional stylet enforced endotracheal tube. Study hypothesis: The Endoflex tube will reduce the risk of hoarseness after intubation when compared to the conventional stylet enforced endotracheal tube under optimal intubation conditions.

NCT ID: NCT00952926 Completed - Rectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Watchful Waiting. An Observational Study of Patients With Rectal Cancer After Concomitant Radiation and Chemotherapy

Start date: October 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to investigate if operation and permanent stoma can be omitted in patients with cancer in the lower part of the rectum.

NCT ID: NCT00952562 Completed - Healthy Clinical Trials

The Influence of Vitamin D on Mineral Metabolism, Blood Pressure and Pulse Wave Analysis in Healthy Individuals

Start date: August 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A randomized placebo controlled trial evaluating the effect of the recently recommended high doses of cholecalciferol (3000 IU/day) on mineral metabolism, blood pressure and pulse wave analysis in healthy individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00952042 Completed - Clinical trials for Achilles Tendinopathy

Resistance Training as Treatment of Achilles Tendinopathy

Start date: July 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The use of eccentric resistance training as management of Achilles tendinopathy is widespread. The investigators have recently demonstrated that heavy slow resistance training was superior in the management of patellar tendinopathy. Hypothesis: heavy slow resistance training is more effective than eccentric resistance training in the clinical management of Achilles tendinopathy.

NCT ID: NCT00951418 Completed - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Serum Clozapine and Cognition

Start date: June 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study aim to investigate the relationship between serum levels of clozapine and cognitive performance in patients with ICD-10 Schizophrenia and treated with clozapine monotherapy. The hypothesis is that higher serum levels of clozapine are associated with cognitive dysfunctions. Furthermore, ECG changes and the relation to serum level of clozapine are studied. The design is cross-sectional.

NCT ID: NCT00950508 Completed - Acute Liver Failure Clinical Trials

A Study of the Effect of Plasmaexchange in Patients With Acute Liver Failure

Start date: June 1998
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to examine if high-volume plasma exchange has a positive effect on mortality in patients with acute liver failure.

NCT ID: NCT00949507 Completed - Children Clinical Trials

Comparison of Two Regimens of Anesthesia for Children Undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in General Anesthesia

Start date: October 2008
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Observational

Comparison of two regimens (Sevorane/LMA ctr. Propofol/Remifentanil) for children undergoing MRI in general anesthesia.
