NCT ID: NCT01993342 Recruiting - Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

Determination of Adipocytokine in Synovial Fluid of Osteoarthritis Patients

Start date: October 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of different adipocytokine (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, osteopontin) and an inflammation classic markers as Interleukine 1 beta, tumor necrosis alfa, interleukine 6 and high sensibility reactive c protein in the synovial fluid of knee osteoarthritis patients, and compare with the inflammation detected with ultrasonography evaluation of the joint. In last years, some studies appeared focusing on the role of adipocytokines in osteoarthritis and they correlated adipocytokines with cartilage degradation and x-ray degree; in our study we will focused in the importance of adipocytokines in the inflammatory changes more than in joint destruction.

NCT ID: NCT01990430 Recruiting - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Behavioural Changes in Breast Cancer Patients

BHVBC
Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Exercise training has been established as a feasible and safe intervention during or after neoplastic treatment in breast cancer patients. Numerous studies have shown that exercise can prevent and control various treatment-related side effects including functional limitation, physical capacity, anxiety and sleep disturbance. In the long-term, an active life style has been demonstrated to increase survival in women, who maintain a moderate level of exercise per week (30 or 75 minutes of brisk walking 5 days per week). Specifically, active breast cancer survivors have a 51-85% lower cancer specific mortality and 33-82% lower all cause of mortality. But despite this, most breast cancer patients reduce their physical activity levels during and after cancer treatment. In 2010, a roundtable meeting of American College of Sport Medicine published guidelines for cancer survivors, defining that the recommended amount of exercise was 150 minutes per week of aerobic exercise of moderate-intensity and 2 or 3 days per week of strength training that included exercise for major muscle groups. But only 30-47% of breast cancer survivors follow these exercise recommendations. In most clinical settings, information by the oncologist to keep physical active is part of the recommendation. Yet some breast cancer patients find it difficult to begin or maintain the minimal activity levels recommended by the experts. A typical obstacle includes lack of directions from experts, which can assure the safety and feasibility of the exercise that they perform. Moreover, important personal aspects can have major influence on the exercise preference, including certain food choice and dietary intakes, education level or the preference of a face-to-face exercise counseling by a professional. A cancer diagnosis is recognized as "teachable moment", where patients are particularly motivated for lifestyle changes. So it is important to approach the patients with adequate interventions that consider the different needs in order to get a healthier behavior among the breast cancer patients. Taking this into account, the hypothesis of this pilot project is that a guided integrated group exercise program, which includes an educational program on healthy life style, will increase the adherence of breast cancer survivors to exercise and a healthy diet. Therefore the aim of this pilot study was to investigate if a comprehensive and specific group exercise program, which includes dietary and exercise information, could increase leisure-time exercise in women with breast cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01977430 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Insufficiency

Clinical Trial to Compare Effectiveness of Diuretics in Hemodialysis Patients With Residual Renal Function

RRF
Start date: November 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is characterized by a progressive deterioration of renal function. At the end of the progression, when complications occur (overhydration, electrolyte imbalances or retention of uremic toxins), a percentage of patients requiring renal replacement therapy (haemodialysis). When starting the haemodialysis, the patient holds the residual renal function (RRF) which is lost over time. To preserve the RRF, the patient is treated with diuretics loops and / or thiazide diuretics. The effect of this treatment is lost when renal function worsens. In this context, there are few studies that explore the use and effectiveness of diuretics in patients on haemodialysis 2. Objectives and Hypothesis: Hypothesis: The treatment with furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide in haemodialysis patients with RRF could: - To decrease in weight gain between haemodialysis sessions. - To increase urine volume. - To decrease the ultrafiltration in haemodialysis sessions ( the long interdialytic interval) Main Objective:To asses the effect of combined hydrochlorothiazide-furosemide therapy on gain weight between haemodialysis sessions in patients with RRF Secondary Objective: To asses the effect of combined hydrochlorothiazide-furosemide therapy on dialytic, clinical and analytical variables and use of the antihypertensive treatment 3. Methodology: Randomized open clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of the administration of diuretics in haemodialysis patients with residual renal function in single centre. The population of study are patients with chronic renal disease in haemodialysis therapy that they preserve residual renal function ( more 200ml daily of urine). It will be a simple randomization, to asses the effect of combined hydrochlorothiazide-furosemide therapy After a of 15 days washout without diuretic treatment, patients will be randomized to receive or not receive combined diuretic treatment for 1 month. After a 1 month washout , the patients will be receive or not the treatment according to cross over trial.

NCT ID: NCT01974921 Recruiting - Asthma Clinical Trials

Study of Physiopathological Mechanisms and Results of Treatment With Bronchial Thermoplasty in Severe Asthma

Start date: September 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical and histological response to bronchial thermoplasty in severe asthma patients.

NCT ID: NCT01971749 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Stenosis

Register of Treatment of Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Stenosis in Andalucía

RETRATO
Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Register of treatment of unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis in Andalucia (RETRATO).

NCT ID: NCT01969175 Recruiting - Acne Vulgaris Clinical Trials

Effect of a Low-glycemic-load and Milk-free Diet on Acne Severity

Start date: October 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of a low-glycemic-load and milk-free diet on acne severity. IGF-1 and a phosphorylated product of the mTORC pathway (p70S6K) will be assessed in both groups to explore the mTORC signaling pathway, which is thought to be related to clinical improvement in previous studies.
