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.
Lactobacillus reuteri (Biogaia) may be beneficial for treatment of chronic constipation in children 4-10 years of age.
In a recent study it was found that neurologist care for Parkinson's provides a 20% reduction in nursing home placement, hip fracture, and death (Willis 2011). However, as the authors recognized, the investigators don't know what it is about expert care that delivers this benefit. The Parkinson's Foundation's Quality Improvement Initiative was designed to identify the components of great care that yield great outcomes. By capturing demographics, clinical interventions and outcomes over time from multiple centers across the U.S, Canada and internationally, the best care practices from different clinics and different healthcare systems will be analyzed.
Periodontally accelerated orthodontics, also known as PAO, is a novel technique combining alveolar corticotomy and bone grafting prior to commencing orthodontic treatment. Using this technique orthodontic de-crowding and space closing, can be completed in 60-70% less active orthodontic treatment time. The addition of particulated bone graft following decortication allows for the widening of the bucco-lingual alveolar bony dimension, thus creating space for the movement of teeth, without the creation of dehiscences, usually a negative sequel of the standard orthodontic treatment. Aim: To evaluate the use of the PAO technique for the treatment of 20 adult patients 1 year post orthodontic treatment. Methods: 20 periodontally healthy adult patients requiring orthodontic treatment were admitted in the departments of Periodontics and Orthodontics in Hadassah Medical Center. All patients underwent full orthodontic and periodontal examination upon admission including a pretreatment CBCT scan. Decortication followed by grafting was made after the orthodontic appliances have been placed. The orthodontic appliances were activated immediately after surgery and every 2 weeks. During the 1 year follow up a periodontal and orthodontic clinical evaluation were made, as well as a CBCT scan.
The purpose of the current investigation is to examine the effects of health intervention program at the workplace on health risks for cardiovascular disease, well-being and absenteeism at the workplace. Participants: 1500 male and female employees from 10 different companies across Israel will take part in the study. Age: older than 18 yrs. Hypothesis 1: The intervention program will have positive effects on the health risks for cardiovascular disease. For example: Will be reflected in a decrease in LDL and increase in HDL. Hypothesis 2: The intervention program will have positive effects on the absenteeism at the workplace (e.g. decrease in days of sick leave per employee).
This is a double blind, parallel group, randomized study with 12 weeks of daily oral administration of Dunaliella or placebo in psoriasis patients.
It is hypothesized that the long-term results of rehabilitation and subsequent aging after Brain Trauma depend on brain's premorbid anatomical (structural) and functional (cognitive, emotional) reserves. The purpose of this study are: 1. to determine whether such reserves exist. 2. to study their convergent and discriminant validity. 3. to study their characteristics.
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that arises most commonly from the mesothelial surfaces of the pleural cavity, occasionally from the peritoneal surface, and rarely from the tunica vaginalis or pericardium. It has an extremely poor prognosis with a median survival of 4 to 13 months for untreated patients 1 and 6 to 18 months for treated patients, regardless of the therapeutic approach. The anticancer activity of Oshadi D and Oshadi R treatment was tested in preclinical studies and in phase I clinical study. Four metastatic mesothelioma patients are treated for 5 to 12 months. The Oshadi D and Oshadi R combination treatment was generally well-tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities observed.
It is well documented that following thermal burns injury the development of hypertrophic scars and keloid (HSK) ranges between 40 to 90%. on the other hand It is well documented that cryosurgery wounds generally heal with minimal tissue contraction, resulting in good cosmetic results and with minimal complications. The Aim of the study is To specify the burn and cryosurgery blister fluid for proteins, cytokines and cells and To compare between the above data regarding possible proteins, cytokines and cells, in regard to their possible effect on scarring and wound healing. Also to Identify those components which are present only in the cryosurgery blister and which might have an anti-scarring effect and to characterize them biochemically.
Intensive Insulin Therapy (IIT) may be given in Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) in two different ways : - as Basal/bolus therapy (B/B) in four-five injections per day . - as Modern Premixed Insulins( MPI's) three times per day . The better diabetes control is achieved, the more likely patient would suffer from hypoglycemic episodes. We propose that the probability of hypoglycemia and its severity has no difference in two main insulin therapy schemes mentioned above. The objective of the study is to compare the incidence of hypoglycemia and its severity in well-controlled ( HBA1C less than 7%) diabetic individuals treated by two different regimens, through analysis of data received by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM, Free Style Navigator).
To access the clinical usefulness of F1+2 in the diagnosis of PE in patients with AECOPD who require hospitalization. Specifically, to determine whether F1+2 may have an additional value in the subgroup of patients with an abnormal D-dimer,to determine whether it may increase the proportion of patients in whom PE can be safely ruled out and to determine the sensitivity, specificity and NPV of F1+2 at various cut-off values.
