The quality of semen plays a fundamental role in correct fertilization and development of normal embryos that result in a live birth. Unfortunately, semen quality has declined during the last decades, and reduced more and more. The cases of male factor infertility currently correspond to 30% of the reported cases of infertility. The parameters that are directly affected in infertile men reflecting an impaired spermatogenesis are sperm concentration, motility, morphology, ejaculate volume and DNA damage, in addition to various alterations at the molecular level that often go unnoticed and are related to the physiological capacity of the sperm. These alterations result in a decrease in reproductive capacity, which leads to the need for assisted reproduction techniques (ART). The identification of new ways to increase the quality of sperm could be very useful to improve the reproductive performance of patients. Probiotics are defined as 'living microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer benefits for the health of the host'. The consumption of probiotics is increasing worldwide as therapy for many different diseases and disorders. In the field of assisted reproduction, the microbiome has been extensively studied with respect to the female endometrium to assess endometrial receptivity. However, there is little evidence about the role of the microbiome in semen. Previous studies demonstrated a moderate improvement on some sperm parameters, but still there is a need to confirm its translation into a clinical contribution to reproductive success. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of these strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CECT8361 and Bifidobacterium longum CECT7347, on the seminal quality of infertile patients coming to IVIRMA clinics to undergo their first IVF/ICSI cycle by means of determining direct improvement on the basic sperm analysis results, on sperm DNA integrity and on the seminal microbiome profile, to ultimately evaluate the effect that it may have on the embryo quality and reproductive results of the cycles of these patients.
This Phase 1/2 study will assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of multiple dose levels of PC14586 (INN: rezatapopt) alone (monotherapy) and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors containing a TP53 Y220C mutation.
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious complication in patients receiving antiresorptive therapies, such as Bisphosphonates and Denosumab. It is defined by the presence of exposed bone or a fistula that probes bone in the jaws for a period greater than 8 weeks in patient with a history of current or past antiresorptive or antiangiogenic treatment, and in the absence of prior radiotherapy or maxillary bone metastases. Depending on the severity of the disease 4 stages are described. On the other hand, although the presence of alterations in the levels of certain biomarkers in saliva has been documented in patients with MRONJ compared to healthy patients, its applicability in clinical practice is still unknown. Until recently, the status quo favored the adoption of a conservative strategy (non-surgical) for the initial management of patients with stage I and II. However, in recent years, this paradigm has been challenged by multiple authors who report better and more predictable outcomes with surgical treatment. Based on the hypothesis that patients with MRONJ stage I and II subjected to initial surgical treatment have better results than those undergoing conservative (non-surgical) treatment, te research group has designed a unicentric, quasi-experimental clinical trial where the clinical and radiological outcome at the third month of 2 groups of patients with stages I and II MRONJ undergoing non-surgical treatment (Group 1 / control) versus initial surgical treatment (Group 2 / intervention) will be compared. Also, the investigators hypothesize that the patients with complete resolution of the disease will also normalize salivary biomarkers levels unlike those with stable or progressive disease, meaning there is a correlation between clinical and biochemical response. Accordingly, the levels of specific salivary biomarkers at baseline and at the third month will be determined and compared with the clinical outcome. After enrollment patients will be instructed and offered both treatment strategies, and assigned to the corresponding group according to their choice. Patients in group 1 (non-surgical) will receive traditional conservative treatment while patients undergoing surgical treatment will receive the same guidelines of conservative treatment plus surgery according to a specific surgical protocol.
The aim is to analyze the effect of intravenous lidocaine administration on postoperative opioid use in patients undergoing upper abdominal cancer surgery. Specifically, those patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery and liver cancer surgery using a laparoscopic approach
Introduction: Alcohol is the most consumed psychoactive substance, its consumption is very prevalent and there is a low perception of the risk it poses in our society. Alcohol is a risk factor and a causal factor for multiple pathologies, including cancer and potentially malignant oral lesions (LOPM). The dentist can play a relevant role in the evaluation of consumption, as well as provide brief interventions (BI) to assist them in the cessation of the habit. Objectives: The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention, carried out by dentists, to stop or reduce alcohol consumption in a patient with LOPM. Material and methods: clinical trial, randomized, with balanced randomization, single-blind (for the evaluator of the results) with 1 experimental arm and a control group, carried out in a single-center manner. Group 1 incident brief intervention and Group 2 no incident intervention (only usual clinical information). 200 patients from the Unit of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery and Implantology of the University of Santiago de Compostela will participate in this study, they will make an initial visit, one month, three months, six months and one year. In these visits, evaluations related to alcohol consumption, the evolution of injuries, quality of life and satisfaction with the BI were carried out. Predictable results: If IB contributes to the cessation or reduction of alcohol consumption, and improves the clinical evolution of LOPM, it could be implemented immediately in our Oral Medicine unit and could lay the foundations for its implementation in different public centers and private.
The objective of this study is to collect data from a large cohort of individuals with DMD and BMD focusing on the neurobehavioural aspects of these conditions and their correlation to the location of the DMD gene mutation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a multimodal program based on therapeutic exercise and vagal activation techniques for newly diagnosed breast cancer women has better results in terms of neurotoxicity prevenion before or during medical treatments.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an optimal-massive intervention (OMI) based on increasing shear viscosity of fluids, nutritional support with oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and triple adaptation of food (rheological and textural, caloric and protein and organoleptic) and oral hygiene improvement on the incidence of respiratory infections in older patients with OD. We have designed a randomized clinical trial, with two parallel arms and 6 months follow-up. The study population will be constituted by older patients of 70 years or more with OD hospitalized at Hospital de Mataró by an acute process that will be identified by using the volume-viscosity swallow clinical test. We will consecutively recruit 500 subjects during admission (Geriatrics, Internal medicine, etc.) at the Hospital de Mataró. Patients included will be randomly assigned to one of both interventional groups: a) study intervention: multifactorial intervention based on fluid viscosity adaptation (with a xanthan gum thickener -> Nutilis Clear®), nutritional support with a triple adaptation of food (texture, caloric and protein content, organoleptic) + pre-thickened ONS and evaluation and treatment of oral hygiene (tooth brushing + antiseptic mouthwashes + professional dental cleaning), or b) control intervention: standard clinical practice (fluid adaptation with Nutilis Powder and simple texture adaptation for solids). Main outcome measures: respiratory infection incidence during the 6-month period follow-up. Secondary outcomes: mortality at 6 months, general hospital readmissions and readmissions due to respiratory infections, nutritional status, hydration status, quality of life, functional status, oral hygiene and dysphagia severity and its relationship with other study variables.
