There are about 25435 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Kingdom. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This is a secondary analysis of dietary, demographic and health parameter data collected in the 2008/09-2011/12 National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), UK to determine the roles of dairy products in sustainable diets by modelling nutritional adequacy, financial cost and environmental impact of UK diets containing varying amounts of dairy products.
Comparison of laparoscopic training simulator v use of eye patch (to simulate loss of dept perception) to investigate acquisition of laparoscopic skills.
The purpose of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and efficacy of ravulizumab in pediatric participants with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
Background Over the last 10 years there has been an increase in the female agriculture labour force, in Pakistan, resulting in a feminisation of agriculture; which could have either a positive or negative impact on maternal and young child nutrition. It could have a positive impact through increased female wage earnings that improve her bargaining/decision-making power within the household. Women are more likely than men to make pro-nutrition choices with regards to household expenditure. Conversely, women's involvement in agricultural work may have a negative impact on infant or maternal nutrition by reducing time available for child care, through increased expenditure of physical energy without compensatory increases in food consumption or exposure to harmful toxins present in pesticides and other chemicals used in farming. Understanding the dynamics of these pathways, in a specific context, is important to ensure agriculture programmes and policies do not disadvantage women or their children. Overall aim To provide insights into positive and negative pathways between women's work in agriculture and maternal and child nutritional status, in different agriculture workload contexts, to inform agriculture interventions and policies in Pakistan. Specific Objectives 1. To determine whether the number of hours a mother participates in agriculture work is associated with maternal body mass index and infant nutrition. 2. To identify factors that modify the influence of maternal participation in agriculture work on maternal and infant nutritional status. Study Design A cohort study was conducted from September 2015 in irrigated rural areas of Pakistan. Infant-mother dyads were recruited when the infant was between 2 and 12 weeks of age inclusive. Anthropometric measurements (maternal and infant height / recumbent length and weight), interviewer administered questionnaires and spot observations were collected at recruitment (Time 1) and again when the infants were between 9-15 months of age (Time 2). The interviewer administered questionnaires were collected from each infant's mother (or the household head if the father was not present). A one page questionnaire was also completed at recruitment to record the numbers of women who agreed to participate in the study, the number who were approached but were not recruited into the study and the reasons they were not eligible to participate or their reasons for refusal.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of GS010, a gene therapy, and assess the quality of life in subjects with LHON due to the G11778A ND4 mitochondrial mutation and who were treated in the Rescue or Reverse studies.
In dentistry, Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) is an objective way of quantifying how maligned a patient's teeth are by scoring orthodontic study models. It can also be used to assess treatment outcome by comparing pre- and post-treatment scores. Traditionally, PAR scoring is performed manually on plaster casts by a trained and calibrated individual. The plaster casts consume considerable amounts of storage space and the process of manual scoring can be time consuming and expensive. The recent decades have seen a rise in popularity of intra oral scanners in dentistry to produce digital study models. These obviate the need for physical storage space and a software can be used to calculate PAR scores more conveniently and at a faster speed. A review of the current literature showed that the CS 3600 intra oral scanner by Carestream Dental demonstrated acceptable accuracy for clinical use. In this study, patients will receive the usual impressions and their moulds will be PAR scored manually (usual care pathway). In addition, they will also receive intra oral scans with Carestream 3600 and the digital models will be scored by a computer. Manual and digital scores will be compared and analysed for any significant discrepancies.
The primary objective of this study is to characterize the virologic efficacy of switching virologically suppressed participants on an elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) regimen or a tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) containing regimen to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) FDC.
Radiotherapy to the breast and lymph nodes is routinely planned using CT scans. The introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to better visualise the lymph nodes and so define a smaller treatment area or 'target'. This means that the dose delivered to the target could be increased without increasing the dose to normal tissues. The MIRABELLE study is designed to test if this is possible by recruiting patients diagnosed with breast cancer including lymph node disease. The investigators will ask participants to have a CT scan and an MRI scan before they have radiotherapy. The investigators will then plan radiotherapy using both these scans and compare the possible dose delivered to the lymph nodes using the MRI and CT defined lymph nodes. This will not affect the patient's future treatment.
The aim of this study is to determine if altering the pattern of one's sleep and having light therapy can speed up the treatment of depression. In the UK, the large majority of patients with depression in the NHS are treated in the community, and one of the major objectives of the study one is to determine if this therapy is a practical treatment in the community. We will be comparing two treatments: 1. Sleep Therapy and a Light Box: Participants will be given information and advice on how to get a good night's sleep. Participants will be given a light box to use in the morning for 1 week. Treatment with a light box will last 30 minutes when a person gets up. Participants may continue to have any treatment as usual (for example medication or talking therapies). 2. Wake therapy and a Light Box: Participants will be helped to change the pattern of sleep by depriving participants of sleep for one night. Participants will go bed at 5pm on the following day for 8 hours and get up at 1am. Participants' sleep will then be advanced by 2 hours each night for the next three nights. Participants will be also given a light box to use in the morning for 1 week. Treatment with a light box will last 30 minutes when participants get up. Participants may continue to have any treatment as usual (for example medication or talking therapies).
High blood pressure (hypertension) causes strokes and heart attacks. While most patients need long-term treatment with pills, some have a cause which can be removed, curing the hypertension. The commonest curable cause is a benign nodule in one of the hormone glands, the adrenals. About one in 20 patients have such a nodule, but difficulties with diagnosis, and reluctance to proceed to surgery for a benign condition, limit the number having adrenal gland surgery to fewer than 300 per year in the UK. A potential, and exciting, solution to this dilemma is to use a momentary electric current to cauterise the nodule (radiofrequency ablation), without affecting the rest of the adrenal gland, and avoiding the need for surgery. Nodules in the left adrenal gland are easily reached under mild sedation using a similar procedure as is standard for investigating stomach ulcers (endoscopy). The study is designed to show that this approach (endoscopic ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation) is very safe, and to provide initial evidence that the hormone abnormality is cured.
