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 population of children presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) for treatment increases day by day, creating a further burden on the limited nursing staff and where many children and their parents are forced to wait many hours until their medical investigation ends. Part of the many hours waited are for various tests the patient has to undergo, where the urine test is one of the main ones. Urinary tract infections in children are a common cause of death due to acute and chronic complications alike. Our study aims to test a urine collection method to see whether it reduces parents' and/or nursing staff's involvement and thereby reducing the urine sample's percentage of contamination.
Several studies have shown in patients magnesium deficiency with liver cirrhosis. Patients with liver cirrhosis showed considerably reduced muscle strength and muscle magnesium. We suggest addition of magnesium to patients with established cirrhosis in order to reduce the neuromuscular and neuropsychiatric manifestations of chronic liver disease.
Individuals of advanced age undergo both physical and cognitive deterioration. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of two types of physical activity on stability parameters.
Genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a major role in intrauterine growth and intrauterine programming. We intend to study genetic factors such as Telomere homeostasis, senescence, genomic instability and the presence of Genomic copy number variations in placental tissue from pregnancies complicated with Intrauterine growth restriction(IUGR), Gestational and pre gestational Diabetes, placentas from IVF pregnancies and from normal pregnancies. We also intend to assess these factors in cord blood and maternal blood.
All consecutive pregnant patients in 2nd or 3rd trimester will be asked to participate. Cervical length will be assessed in all patients, once abdominally and then vaginally (that would serve as golden standard). Correlation would be assessed between accuracy of measurement to BMI
Ovarian torsion is one of the gynecological emergency. This complication requires high clinical suspicion and early detection, to prevent permanent loss of ovarian function. The long uterine ovarian ligament could be a risk factor for ovarian torsion. We want to measure the uterine ovarian ligament length during routine laparoscopy/laparotomy and to compare the length between the torsion group and other non torsion patients
The purpose of this study is to determine whether mothers with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has antibodies against platelets in breastfeeding milk aside control group of healthy mothers. In order to prevent severe thrombocytopenia in infants born to mothers with ITP.
Individuals of advanced age undergo both physical and cognitive deterioration. The aim of this study is to explore the connection between level of physical activity and health parameters, quality of life, and frailty.
The purpose of this preliminary experiment is to measure the effect of a novel ventilation system on the physiological strain during exercise in high heat load while wearing ballistic protective vest. Ten young and healthy participants will participate in the study. They will all go through a six days heat acclimation period in a heat chamber according to a valid protocol. Afterwards they will be randomly exposed to 4 conditions during four separate consecutive days.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Melatonin (in a dosage of 14mg daily) for a better clinical outcome in the period three days post stroke.
