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 was designed to validate the color appearance on the newly developed panty liner (NORMA-SENSE). The NORMA-SENSE liner changes color when worn by the user and comes into contact with vaginal secretion with an elevated pH level, without false positives due to urine remains or incontinence. The study will also asses the physical comfort in using NORMA-SENSE and the result reading clarity which includes the ability to visualize and interpret the NORMA-SENSE strip results.
The purpose of this study is twofold: - to understand the etiology and the essence of fear of childbirth - to examine the implications and efficiency of several forms of psychological therapy.
A prospective, randomized, double blind study designed to investigate analgesic efficacy of wound infusion using diclofenac or ropivacaine following Cesarean section performed via a Pfannenstiel incision.
Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as an unlimited source of cells for transplantation. The major goal of the project is to develop human iPS cells from existing lines of fibroblasts that were originally donated as clinical grade feeders for the development of clinical grade hESCs. The clinical grade feeders were developed from aborted fetuses, foreskin and umbilical cord.
Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as an unlimited source of cells for transplantation. The major goal of the project is to develop human iPS cells from various types of cell cultures or lines from existing collections. The IPS cells will be developed for modeling diseases, for developing the technology that may eventually allow the use of IPS cells for transplantation therapy, and for basic research.
Women requesting analgesia do not always wish to receive a potent analgesic method, and may fear the risks of epidural analgesia. Study Aim: To determine whether remifentanil is effective for labor analgesia when compared with standard treatment (epidural analgesia).
to determine safety, efficacy and tolerability of BI 1356 versus placebo
The Haptoglobin (Hp) gene locus at chromosome 16q22 is polymorphic with two alleles denoted 1 and 2 .The gene product exists in three phenotypes: 1-1, 2-1, and 2-2. The Haptoglobin 2 allele is found only in man and is believed to have arisen from the Haptoglobin 1 allele by a partial intragenic duplication. Haptoglobin 2 allele frequency is higher than the Haptoglobin 1 allele. It has been hypothesized that the Haptoglobin 2 allele was spread in man due to its selective advantage against life-threatening infections. In vitro, only the Haptoglobin 2 allele protein, binds to the streptococcus T antigen, resulting in its aggregation and slowing its growth . Individuals homozygous for the Haptoglobin 1 allele (1-1 genotype) are more prone to the streptococcal infection than individuals with the Haptoglobin 2 allele(2-1 or 2-2 genotype). The investigators wish to explore the linkage between Hp phenotype and sepsis in pre-term neonates, considering that in this early stage in life, genetic properties which provide a defense against infectious agents will be of heightened importance.
Most patients undergoing cataract surgery suffer from corneal edema after the surgery. Brimonidine drops are a well known and safe Anti-glaucoma medication. the investigators have made several clinical observations that patients receiving Brimonidine drops had a faster resolution of their corneal edema even if they had normal intra-ocular pressure. The investigators believe that administering topical Brimonidine to patients with significant post operative corneal edema will hasten the resolution of their corneal edema.
This trial will assess the safety of defibrillator testing and the influence of defibrillation testing on the efficacy of clinical shocks. The trial will test the hypothesis that implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation without defibrillation testing (DT) is non-inferior to implantation with testing against the composite endpoint of ineffective first appropriate clinical shock or arrhythmic death. It will also test the hypothesis, that defibrillation testing increases the peri-operative (30 days) complication rate of ICD implantation.
