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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of training of the non-involved upper limb on the motor ability of the hemiparetic upper limb in patients with unilateral sensorimotor motor impairments. The secondary aims are to investigate the relation between lesion characteristics and responsiveness to the treatment, and to study which brain structures are activated during a task trained in the treatment.
The investigators will conduct a prospective study, in which they will determine sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of late evening urinary free cortisol concentration/creatinine and hair cortisol in differentiating Cushing's syndrome from Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome.
Patients with suspected tree-nut or sesame allergy based on sensitization on skin-prick tests (SPT), will be assessed for allergy using component analysis and basophil activation test (BAT) and entered into oral immunotherapy (OIT). Component analysis and BAT will be repeated after completion of OIT. Patients with tree-nut or sesame allergy treated with the standard of care of elimination diet will serve as controls
Cow's milk protein (CMP) allergy is one of the most common food allergies and potentially a fatal one. Early feeding with CMP has been considered in the past as a risk factor for development of CMP allergy in high risk infants. Although other studies argue with this assumption and suggest early exposure to CMP might be protective against atopic dermatitis and CMP allergy. A cohort study that first introduction of CMP after 15-30 days of age, raised the risk for CMP allergy.The aim of this study is to investigate if early and continuous exposure to CMF will decrease CMP allergy rate.
Assessing blood glucose control in women with gestational diabetes can be challenging. The standard of care remains visual inspection of blood glucose paper diaries of self-performed capillary monitoring during regular meeting in High Risk pregnancy clinics. The researchers are interested in preforming a randomized control trial comparing women with the diagnosis of gestational diabetes with regular High-Risk clinic surveillance to digital monitoring using an application in a Smart-phone and submitting those values via email in addition to the regular clinic appointments. The Primary outcome of the trial is to assess the compliance of the research group as compared to the control group.
The purpose of this study is to determine the natural history of the hereditary forms of nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease (CKD), primary hyperoxaluria (PH), cystinuria, Dent disease and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (APRTd) and acquired enteric hyperoxaluria (EH). The investigator will measure blood and urinary markers of inflammation and determine relationship to the disease course. Cross-comparisons among the disorders will allow us to better evaluate mechanisms of renal dysfunction in these disorders.
This is a post-marketing study for B-Lite® implants that carry the EC certificate for marketing in Europe and AMAR certificate for marketing in Israel. To date, thousands of implants have already been implanted in women. The study is open for primary augmentation patients only. All surgeries will be performed as per standard practice at the given study site. No parallel surgical procedures will be performed at the same session.
This research aims to investigate the correlation between tumor temperature difference and biological factors, such as size, metabolism, treatment response, and tumor aggressiveness. In addition, normal tissue response to adjuvant radiation therapy in treated organs following surgery, will be evaluated.
Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis and cervical Adenitis (PFAPA) is one of the most common, least explored periodic fever syndrome in childhood. This study aims to investigate whether a single dose of an interleukin beta (IL-1) antagonist, Canakinumab will be able to abort PFAPA flares in patients who experience a flare in an average of 2 weeks or less. This will be a single arm open label pilot study. 10 patients will be recruited from 1 center (Pediatric rheumatology unit -Schneider children's medical center of Israel). Patients in ages 2-10 years old who are diagnosed with PFAPA according to clinical criteria at least 3 months prior to enrollment and who are under regular care for this disease (single dose of glucocorticoids during flare) and who suffer from more than 4 PFAPA flares for the last 2 months, will be screened for this study. In the second documented flare, patients will be enrolled to receive a single dose of subcutaneous (SC) Canakinumab 4 mg/kg. The primary outcome is defined as - 50% reduction in PFAPA flares for the next 2 consecutive months as reported by the patient (use of diary) and documented by the patient primary care physician and/ or the researcher in a monthly follow up visits. Secondary outcome measure are define as time to flare (days) and Parent/patient quality of life assessment measured by 100mm visual analog scale (VAS).
Multi-center study enrolling patients suspected or newly diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) overlap disorder, or idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS). Participants will be followed long term. Clinical data, blood, and tissue samples will be collected to establish a biorepository to facilitate the study of the natural history of MDS.
