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.
Main study objectives: 1. To compare the temperature measured using Medisim's thermometers to the temperature measured using mercury or equivalent reference thermometers. 2. To develop more accurate algorithms for measuring on the forehead as well as behind the ear. 3. To test the difference between various forehead measurement locations in order to allow more convenient measuring that is not depended on the exact location.
In this study the investigators sought to determine the effects of Pomegranate (Natural pomegranate polyphenol (P. granatum L) extract) : 1. On the maternal and fetal oxidative stress and inflammation associated with PPROM. 2. On the time interval from PPROM to delivery and on fetal Ph and apger score.
Phase II 3 arm double blinded clinical study, to evaluate pain killing and healing time of Botanical Ear Drops, Ear Comfort™, in Severe External Ear Infection (AOE) patients in comparison to Dex-Otic® and Otidin®. Study Outcome (hypothesis): if Ear Comfort™ proves to perform as well as Dex-Otic, then ENT's and family doctors will have a botanical non-antibiotic product that does not promote the formation of antibiotic-resistant infections and may be given to anti-biotics sensitive patients. Ear comfort™ is pharmacologically stable for at least 3 years on the shelves.
Immature myeloid cells (IMCs) that are generated in the bone marrow, and differentiate into mature granulocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) in the steady state. Recently, it was demonstrated that the IMC population expands in malignancy, both in animal models and in humans. These cells were described as immunosuppressants but have also been shown to promote tumor angiogenesis. Accordingly, IMCs were also found to take part in the burn injury wound healing process and other pathologies that involve angiogenesis. It was shown in the investigators' laboratory, that a very similar population of IMCs populates the mouse and human placenta, and that these cells actively promote angiogenesis. Dendritic cells (DCs) that can differentiate from IMCs, are antigen presenting cells (APCs) that initiate and coordinate the innate and adaptive immune responses. DCs can take up a diverse array of antigens and present them to T cells as peptides bound to MHC products. These antigen-specific responses are critical for resistance to infection and tumors. Conversely, DCs have roles in autoimmunity, transplant rejection and immunological tolerance. In the reproductive system, DCs were shown to account for 5%-10% of all hematopoietic cells in the uterine decidua at the embryonic implantation site. They were shown to promote angiogenesis during early pregnancy, especially during implantation. Very little is known about their function in the placenta and in the latter part of pregnancy when significant angiogenesis takes part. The investigators' preliminary mouse experiments and human data, demonstrate a shift in IMC/DC populations with the development of the placenta. The investigators hypothesize that this population shift may contribute to the labor and delivery process. The investigators' aim is to understand the role of these myeloid cell populations during pregnancy, to characterize their phenotype and try to shed light on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia, pre-term labor, intrauterine growth restriction, etc.
The purpose of this study is to report data with patients after bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether extended prophylaxis with oral betrixaban can prevent blood clots in the leg and lung that sometime occur in patients hospitalized for an acute medical illness and to compare these results with standard of care enoxaparin. The safety of betrixaban will also be studied.
This is a trial of AGS-003, which is being studied as a possible treatment for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an overall survival (OS) benefit between subjects treated with AGS-003 in combination with standard treatment versus subjects treated with standard treatment alone.
Nasal irrigation techniques have been used for many years and been shown to improve symptoms of rhinosinusitis. Although there is a wealth of literature available, establishing treatment protocols can be difficult because of the great variability in recommended composition (seawater or hypertonic or isotonic saline with or without additives) and irrigation technique (variations in pressure and volume). Nasal irrigation is also used in many centers as part of postoperative treatment protocols and in particular has been recommended following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Nasal crusting and thick nasal discharge have a negative impact on these patients quality of life (QOL). At the time of our study, there are no studies comparing irrigation with mucolysis with saline irrigation following ESS. The investigators aimed to assess whether mucolysis is effective at improving patients QOL and reducing postoperative signs as assessed endoscopically.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess whether Desmopressin, given for a period of month to patients after radical cystectomy with orthotopic bladder reconstruction, improves and lowers the rate of nocturnal enuresis.
The purpose of this study is to compare LY2605541 and insulin glargine using the following measures after participants have been treated for 26 weeks: - Change in participants' overall blood sugar control - The rate of night time low blood sugar episodes - The number of participants that reach blood sugar targets without low blood sugar episodes at night - The rate of low blood sugar episodes reported over a 24-hour period
