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 pathogenesis of AVN includes a defective blood supply to the knee joint. Local nitrates induce peripheral vasodilation and may improve blood supply to the affected tissue. This study aims to test whether the use of a nicotine patch may accelerate the healing process from AVN of the knee.
Renal colic is usually caused from an obstructing stone along the ureter. Some of the patients present with a high level of creatinin in the blood, even though there is a normal functioning contralateral kidney. Furthermore creatinin is not an ideal marker for renal function during acute changes. Several works have shown that modern urinary markers such as NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin), KIM-1 (Kidney Injury Molecule-1) and others rise earlier and are much more sensitive for kidney insult. There is a lack of research on their role in acute kidney obstruction
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of eravacycline compared with levofloxacin in participants with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI).
This is a prospective, non-randomized, first-in-man investigational study, to assess the safety and technical feasibility, deployment and withdrawal characteristics of the NovaCross™ micro-catheter during an interventional coronary angioplasty procedure and evaluating the CTO penetration rate. Each study subject/patient will have a total of one (1) procedure performed for this study.
In the current study we will examine a specific aspect of these processes that has yet to be studied. We will test the effect that a physically effortful assignment has on the choices that a preadolescent makes using a forced choice paradigm in which the participant will be asked to choose between and carry out either a high cost-high reward option (HR) or a low cost-low reward (LR) option. The HR option will demand a significant amount of physical effort and will be paired up with a large reward as opposed to the LR option which will be less demanding physically and paired up with a small reward. The assignment will be carried out using a hand held dynamometer which measures the power produced by the participants' upper extremity. We propose that a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will choose a task that involves less effort despite the small reward tied to it compared to a control child who will choose the more demanding task and the larger reward.
The study objective is to collect heart rate, respiration rate and motion data of patients admitted to sleep lab and to determine the accuracy level of the EarlySense system vs. the monitors used in sleep lab (e.g., Polysomnography, respiratory belts, ECG, etc..) . Data regarding sleep condition, scoring and quality of sleep and in and out of bed status, patient turns will also be collected and compared to data collected by EarlySense contactless monitor. Different patient population will be monitored including obese, morbidly obese, patients with or without obstructive/central apnea, patients with or without arrhythmia as well as healthy population who arrive to sleep lab for general evaluation will be monitored
Enhanced insulin and GLP-1 postprandial response after morning meal versus evening meal, might be underlying explanation of the beneficial effect of eating breakfast with reduced dinner vs skipping breakfast on glycemic control and HbA1c in T2D patients. To test this hypothesis and clarify whether glucose, insulin and GLP-1 postprandial responses are different in the morning vs. in the afternoon, the investigators will compare in T2D subjects in random order and in two separate days: the glucose, insulin and GLP-1 postprandial responses after breakfast, lunch and dinner with 2 isocaloric meal plans or test diets, that differ in meal timing distribution The investigators hypothesize that GLP-1 and insulin response after high calorie breakfast will be higher in comparison to GLP-1 and insulin response after identical meal at evening
The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of seizures and monitor the safety of enzalutamide treatment in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) known to have risk factor(s) for seizure.
ABC PICU is a randomized clinical trial that will compare the clinical consequences of RBC storage duration in 1538 critically ill children. Laboratory and observational evidence points to serious concerns about the lack of safety and effectiveness of older RBCs, especially in more vulnerable populations. Physicians and institutions have been systematically transfusing fresh RBCs to some pediatric patients primarily because of beliefs that the use of fresh RBCs improve outcomes. Conversely, the standard practice of blood banks is to deliver the oldest RBC unit in order to decrease blood wastage. To provide much needed high quality evidence to answer the question "do RBCs of reduced storage duration improve outcomes?" The ABC PICU Trial will conduct a RCT comparing development of New or Progressive Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (NPMODS) in critically ill children transfused with either RBCs stored ≤ 7 days or standard issue RBCs (expected mean RBC storage duration of 17-21 days).
This study objective is to assess the nutritional status of Patients With Congestive Heart Failure.
