NCT ID: NCT04239339 Completed - Healthy Clinical Trials

Serotonergic Modulation of Cognition, Emotion and Brain Activation in Healthy Volunteers

Start date: April 28, 2020
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this project is: - To apply a pharmacological tool of selective serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT system) reuptake inhibition in healthy humans. Specifically: - To investigate how sub-chronic administration of 20 mg of escitalopram affects cognitive performance ('cold' cognition) and social-emotional functioning ('hot' cognition) compared with placebo; and - To investigate how sub-chronic administration of 20 mg of escitalopram affects functional brain activation during a paradigm of reinforcement learning following drug administration compared with placebo, and how activation relates to cognitive performance and social-emotional functioning.

NCT ID: NCT04236973 Completed - Hepatitis C Clinical Trials

Truenat™ HCV RNA Assay Evaluation

Start date: January 12, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Molbio Diagnostics Ltd. (India) has developed the Truelab™ Real Time quantitative PCR system that is widely used in India for diagnostics of tuberculosis (TB). The system consists of two portable machines and two microfluidic cartridges and can be used in point-of-care settings. The manufacturer has recently developed a new assay that detects HCV RNA, the Truenat™ HCV RNA assay. It is a simple two-step assay for RNA extraction and amplification with a total turnaround time of 60 min, using whole blood, plasma and serum as sample types. Most importantly, the assay can be performed from a drop of capillary blood eliminating the need for venous access and blood draw and increasing its usability in the settings where phlebotomy service are not available. To date, validation of the assay was performed using archived plasma specimens and contrived whole blood specimens. FIND aims to conduct a multicentre evaluation to assess the assay's sensitivity, specificity and quantitative accuracy in freshly collected whole blood, plasma and serum specimens from target populations. The evaluation aims to gather performance data in line with the requirements set forth in the Common Technical Specifications 2009/886/EC (CTS) of the CE In Vitro Diagnostics Medical Devices Directive 98/79/CE (CE-IVDD), as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) Technical Specification Series 10 (draft) (TSS-10) for In vitro diagnostic (IVDs) medical devices used for the qualitative and quantitative detection of HCV RNA.

NCT ID: NCT04236934 Completed - Dyspnea Clinical Trials

Thoracentesis: Symptoms and Prediction of the Need for Therapeutic Thoracentesis

Start date: January 13, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Recurrent fluid surrounding the lungs is associated with poor quality of life, the main symptom being dyspnea. These patients are in need of recurrent removal of the fluid using drainage. The mechanism causing dyspnea is not fully understood. By using ultrasound to evaluate the movement of the diaphragm before and after removal of fluid and the patients symptoms before removal of fluid and until next removal the research group aims to clarify the temporal development in symptoms and the role of the diaphragm. The researchers will also evaluate the ability of the pulmonologist and patient to predict when the patient will need the next removal of fluid in patients with recurrent unilateral pleural effusion.

NCT ID: NCT04235998 Completed - Pleural Effusion Clinical Trials

Value of Additional Upfront Systematic Lung Ultrasound in the Workup of Patients With Unilateral Pleural Effusion

Start date: February 17, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The value of lung ultrasound in the work up of pleural effusion (fluid in between the thin doublet layered film surrounding the lungs) is unknown. The researchers will perform a systematic lung ultrasound scan including a scan for extra thoracic metastasis (spread of cancer to other organs) in the lymphnodes of the neck and metastasis lever in 56 patients one-sided pleural effusion. The researchers will measure if the interventions change the diagnostic plan for the patient and leads to faster diagnostics of the underlying course.

NCT ID: NCT04235348 Completed - Dietary Exposure Clinical Trials

The Impact of Red Meat and Whole-grains Intake on the Colonic Mucosal Barrier

Start date: June 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study evaluates the impact of red meat and whole-grain intake on the colonic mucosal barrier and the dietary impact of these groups on the induced low-grade inflammation

NCT ID: NCT04231617 Completed - Headache Clinical Trials

The Hemodynamic Effects of CGRP After Glibenclamide Administration in Healthy Volunteers

Start date: January 20, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To investigate the hemodynamic effects of CGRP after glibenclamide administration.

NCT ID: NCT04231305 Completed - Clinical trials for Skin Graft Complications

Antithrombotics and Complications in Skin Grafts

Start date: January 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Patients who were referred to cutaneous surgery and needed full thickness or split skin grafting and using antitrombotic or non-antitrombotic therapies were observed. Data on patient characteristics, diagnosis, location of surgery and surgery performed, antithrombotic medication and complications in skin grafts were collected. Skin grafts were traced on a transparent film and areas of unhealed skin graft were marked

NCT ID: NCT04231149 Completed - Compliance, Patient Clinical Trials

Explorative Clinical Study on the Performance and Acceptance of New Intermittent Catheters in Healthy Volunteers

Start date: November 5, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Performance and acceptance of new intermittent catheters tested in healthy volunteers

NCT ID: NCT04229277 Completed - Malignant Melanoma Clinical Trials

Fast Track Diagnosis of Skin Cancer by Advanced Imaging

Start date: September 9, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Aim of study: To collect data for a new image-guided diagnostic algoritm, enabling the investigators to differentiate more precisely between benign and malignant pigmented tumours at the bedside. This study will include 60 patients with four different pigmented tumours: seborrheic keratosis (n=15), dermal nevi (n=15), pigmented basal cell carcinomas (n=15), and malignant melanomas (n=15), these four types of tumours are depicted in Fig.1, and all lesions will be scanned by four imaging technologies, recruiting patients from Sept 2019 to May 2020. In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (CM) will be used to diagnose pigmented tumours at a cellular level and provide micromorphological information5;6. Flourescent CM will be applied to enhance contrast in surrounding tissue/tumours. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), doppler high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) and photoacustic imaging (also termed MSOT, multispectral optoacustic tomography) will be used to measure tumour thickness, to delineate tumours and analyze blood flow in blood vessels. Potential diagnostic features from each lesion type will be tested. Diagnostic accuracy will be statistically evaluated by comparison to gold standard histopathology
