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.
This study is aimed at assessing the capability of the PillCam Platform using the PillCam ESO 2 Capsule in: - Determining whether there is 1) active bleeding in the Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract, 2) identifying the anatomic location of acute overt UGI bleeding, and 3) discriminating a variceal versus non-variceal source of UGI bleeding.
Falls are a major complication in patients treated in rehabilitation departments, yet studies evaluating different interventions to reduce falls-risk are rare and inconclusive. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of a multidisciplinary fall-prevention program to reduce falls and injury in stroke patients treated in a rehabilitation department. All stroke patients consecutively admitted to the department of rehabilitation at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center for a period of one year will be eligible for inclusion. Upon receiving an informed consent subjects will be randomized to the intervention group or the control (convention care) group. There are no exclusion criteria. The Intervention includes group education on risk of falling and safe mobility and transfers; physical therapy of balance training at the patients' bedside twice weekly and medical assessment of medication use (anxiolytics/hypnotics, neuroleptics, antihypertensives and other vasodilators), orthostatic hypotension, urinary frequency/incontinence, delirium and visual problems. Intervention therapy will not be given as an extra time, rather at the same treatment time as the control group. Primary outcomes are rate of falls and related injuries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success rate of alternative treatment of deep carious lesions in asymptomatic primary teeth with no clinical nor radiographic signs of pulpal inflammation. The treatment includes leaving a thin layer of caries that is present near the pulp chamber and includes liner placement and tooth sealing. This alternative treatment is to be compared with the treatment provided today to these teeth, which includes complete removal of caries and probably includes pulpotomy and wide preparation of the tooth. The study also evaluates the cost-effectiveness of both methods of treatment of deep carious lesions.
This is an open label, dose-finding study. Approximately 8 healthy subjects will be participating in this study. A screening will be used to determine subject suitability for inclusion in the trial. Subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will enter a one day treatment period. During this period, 4 anal manometric studies will take place. Study medication (Coated Phenylephrine suppositories at various doses) will be administered at pre-determined intervals.
This is an open label study. The study will consist of 1 treatment group: coated Nifedipine suppository containing 12 mg of Nifedipine, administered BID to subjects with chronic anal fissure.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Brimo PS DDS® Applicator System (200 μg and 400 μg brimonidine tartrate) on visual function in patients with previous rhegmatogenous macula-off retinal detachment.
Routine analysis of coagulation profile is recommended before adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy or ventilation tubes insertion in children. A proportion of those children reveal borderline abnormal values of Partial Prothrombin Time (aPTT) or Prothrombin Time (PT) and then they are referred to a consultant hematologist for further evaluation and recommendations before surgery. The purpose of this study is to summarize the causes of referrals in a cohort of 200 children and to assess the further laboratory analysis preformed and the results obtained.
Iron overload impaired growth in Thalassemia patients due to iron deposition in the endocrine glands, including the hypophysis and gonads. The issue of iron overload in Sickle Cell Anemia is recently studied more extensively and preliminary studies shows that endocrine damage is rarer in those patients. Growth velocity was not systematically studied in patients with Iron Overload, even in thalassemia patients in spite several studies that assess the endocrine function in those patients. In Sickle Cell Patients this issue was not studied. The purpose of this study is to assess the growth velocity in a cohort of Thalassemia Major and Intermedia patients and compare the results to another group of Sickle Cell patients, including Sickle cell thalassemia.
To show that prevalence of inflammation of the small bowel in patients with anorectal disease is under-diagnosed based on colonoscopy ileoscopy alone.
The study intends to summarize the clinical and laboratory characteristics of children with hemolytic anemia diagnosed as having alpha thalassemia mutations.
