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.
Using protective or combat garments under heavy heat stress conditions, during rest or exertion, may hinder the body`s ability to effectively exchange heat with the environment and thereby can lead to heat injuries. The purpose of this research is to physiologically examine the new textile solutions that are planned to be integrated in the protective garments, combat garments and work uniforms in the army, by evaluating the physiological stress obtained during exertion under hot climatic conditions.
Forty patients with diabetic nephropathy will be treated with colchicine up to 2 mg, or placebo, for 18 months. A follow up will be performed after 12 additional months. The primary outcome will be a significant reduction or stabilization of proteinuria during the 18 month treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) [after daily administration for 7 days] and safety [after daily administration for 8 weeks] of dexlansoprazole in pediatric participants aged 1 to 11 months, inclusive, with acid-related diseases.
This phase Ib combination study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of radium Ra 223 dichloride in combination with paclitaxel in cancer subjects with bone lesions with special focus on Grade 3/4 incidence of neutro- and/or thrombocytopenia and exploration of the mode of interaction (i.e. additive or synergistic interaction) between the selected chemotherapy and radium Ra 223 dichloride with regard to myelosuppression.
Background: Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal problem accounting almost 21% of all musculoskeletal complaints. Symptomatic Rotator cuff degenerative tears (RCDT) are mostly common above the age of 40. Deviations of posture in the upper quadrant such as, slouched posture and forward head position, have been linked repeatedly to rotator cuff diseases, altered scapular kinematics and changes in the acromiohumeral distance (AHD). No study yet examined the effect of changing posture in sitting on the output of shoulder clinical tests, in patients with RCDT. Objectives: The primary objective of the study is to examine the effect of changing posture in sitting on selected clinical shoulder tests in patients with rotator cuff degenerative tears (RCDT) Study design: A single blinded controlled clinical trial Methods: A total of 100 subjects (Patients referred to physiotherapy outpatient clinics of Clalit Healthcare Services in Holon and Hertzlyia) will be included in this study and divided into 2 groups: 50 subjects with shoulder pain who are diagnosed with RCDT by ultrasound and a control group of 50 volunteering subjects without any pain in the upper quadrant. All patients will be measured for their body weight and height and their hand dominance will be notified. Following reliability trials on the first 10 subjects, all subjects will be tested for pain provocation and level of pain (VAS) in both shoulders with 3 commonly used clinical shoulder tests for the diagnosis of rotator cuff diseases (Empty can - sensitivity=94%, specificity = 46% Neer test - sensitivity = 72%, specificity = 60%, and Hawkins-Kennedy test - sensitivity = 79%, specificity = 59% ) in 3 sitting postures; normal resting posture, slouched posture, and upright posture with scapular retraction as described by Kalra et al (2010). In addition, the rotator cuff muscle strength tests during shoulder abduction, internal rotation and external rotation will be measured for the 2 shoulders using a hand-held dynamometer.
Cesarean deliveries are prevalent. Unlike other operations, quick recovery is required for the mother to nurture the newborn child and establishing an appropriate mother-child bonding.
To assess efficiency of ridge preservation (in vertical and horizontal dimensions) after tooth extraction using Calcium Sulfate with hydroxyapatite(®Bond-apatite) compared to the use of bovine bone substitute (BioOss®) and to extration only as negative control.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of combined occipital and supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulation in reducing migraine related pain.
Salivary fistulae have been the bane of surgical salvage in the era of primary chemoradiation for head and neck (H&N) cancers. The "blame"of prior chemoradiation tissue damage encouraged compensatory surgical techniques that focused on the insertion of non-irradiated tissue into the field. This study emphasizes a paradigm shift in the understanding and treatment of pharyngocutaneous fistulae. The detrimental effects of salivary enzymes on tissue healing and surgical anastomoses are addressed and novel treatment strategy is outlined.
To determine whether treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant prolongs progression-free survival compared to fulvestrant and placebo in men and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, who received prior treatment with an Aromatase Inhibitor either as (neo)adjuvant or for advanced disease.
