There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. 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.
Prospective, open label, self - controlled, single arm, clinical study to assess the performance of the UltraShape Power using the U-Sculpt-N on outer thigh and/or flank for circumference reduction versus self-control.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and need for prescribing anti-inflammatory topical drops to patients undergoing laser peripheral iridotomy.
The concurrent performance of two tasks, i.e., dual tasking (DT), is a common and ubiquitous every day phenomena. For example, people frequently walk while talking on a cellphone or drive while talking to a passenger. Often, the performance of one or more of these simultaneously performed tasks may deteriorate when another task is carried out at the same time, even in healthy young adults. This reduction in performance is referred to as the DT deficit or DT cost and is typically much higher in Idiopathic Fallers (IF) than in age-matched controls. In this population the DT cost impairs the gait pattern, as manifested, for example, in increased gait variability, exacerbating instability and fall risk. In the proposed study, would be evaluated the effects of tDCS on dual tasking performance following tDCS. The researchers expect that stimulation of the Pre Frontal Cortex (PFC) (using tDCS) will increase DT performance and prefrontal activation.
Part A of this study evaluates iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) in patients with select B-cell malignancies (multiple myeloma( MM), indolent chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)/Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (WM), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) who have been previously treated with standard therapy for their underlying malignancy. Part B (CLOVER-WaM) is a pivotal efficacy study evaluating IV administration of iopofosine I 131 in patients with WM that have received at least two prior lines of therapy.
The investigators propose to examine the effect of local cooling of testis in participants with acute epididymitis or orchiepididymitis on participants reported pain level and analgetics consumption.
General anesthesia (GA) is the process of induction of unconsciousness in order to undergo surgery. Unlike sleep, a process of "anesthesia" is not related at all, 'Sleep' and does not include dreams - but is done by using drugs that cause a kind of "unconsciousness" control. The induction of GA includes combination of drugs - for sleep (inhalation anesthesia or hypnotic drugs intravenously), analgesia (opiates) and muscle relaxants. Since most of our patients paralyzed during surgery, the anesthesiologists have no way of knowing whether our paralyzed patient is asleep or awake. If the patient is awake and paralyzed, a situation named "awareness under anesthesia" it can cause him a traumatic experience that would leave him a cripple for his whole life. There are many stories about patients who lay paralyzed, awake, while been operated, who remembered every word of what happened during the operation and of course could not mark the anesthetist that they are awake. The anesthesiologist might suspect that his patient is awake and paralyzed through "signals" from the sympathetic nervous system - for example the increase in heart rate and blood pressure. But many of our patients receive different medications (eg, beta-receptor blockers that does not allow the rise of a pulse) obscuring the clinical signs, so that the patient is awake and paralyzed without being noticed by the anesthesiologist. Some patients are at a higher risk to suffer from awareness under anesthesia, because the anesthesiologist cannot provide "enough" anesthesia, due to their medical condition, for example: women in caesarean section under GA, patients in cardiac surgery or injured trauma patients. Twenty years ago, an EEG based tool, naming "BIS" was developed. Nowadays, BIS monitor's credibility is questionable 1. The effect of different hypnotic drugs is not uniform. 2. Recently it was shown that a paralyzed patient BIS index could fall mimicking a situation of a sleep - enabling a paralyzed patient being awake. Thus, it is not clear whether the calculation of the BIS monitor is based on physiological models that define what is consciousness, loss of consciousness and how consciousness arises. It seems that the BIS is only suitable for certain drugs - not as a general monitor for the level of anesthesia. The purpose of the present study is to develop a universal system for determining awareness under GA using an innovative algorithm for analyzing EEG waves, based on the physiological processes of attention and perception underlying the basis for sedation and GA.
In this study the investigators aim to identify and characterize a potential neurophysiological biomarker by mapping functional networks of brain activity (Brain Network Activation, BNA) based on analysis of evoked response potential (ERP) signals in both asymptomatic FMR1 premutation carriers and in patients with various stages of FXTAS. Additionally correlations will be studied between these BNA scores and demographics (gender, age and disease duration) as well as genetic mutation and clinical scores.
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, parallel Phase 3 study with an open-label single-arm extension period to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and efficacy of macitentan in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Pelvic floor main role is to maintain continence. pelvic floor malfunction could lead to urinary incontinence (UI). The known prevalence of UI among women is 25%-72%, in about 25%-50% it is Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), SUI prevalence changes with age and obstetric history. SUI is the complaint of involuntary leakage on activities which involves inter abdominal pressure rase, such as effort or exertion, or sneezing or coughing. pelvic floor movement is coordinated with the diaphragm, it moves caudally while inhaling and cranially while exhaling. it was shown that cranial sagittal displacement of the pelvic floor is correlated to pelvic floor normal and efficient function. in order to maintain continence while internal abdominal pressure rises the pelvic floor as to work in a precise trajectory, timing and force. observing the Urinary bladder by trans abdominal ultra sound (TAUS) was found as a valid and reliable way to estimate pelvic floor sagittal displacement and function.
the purpose of this study is to examine the success rates of Karman curettage in completing the abortion after failed recurred treatment with Misoprostol for women with missed abortion.
