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 WIM-PC™ device, indicated for acoustic pulmonary function measurement that quantifies the presence of wheezing. This study was designed in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using the WIM-PC™ device for wheeze detection during dynamic bronchial situations in infants that were hospitalized as a result of asthmatic attack.
In varicocele the venous pressure in the prostatic bed is increased .This may result in raised hydrostatic pressure which in turn may stimulate prostatic hypertrophy. Restoring normal venous drainage is expected to lower hydrostatic pressure followed by inhibition of prostatic growth and possibly leading regression in prostatic dimensions.
Heparin is the reference therapy for most patients with pulmonary embolism. Some patients with sub-massive pulmonary embolism defined by normal blood pressure and dysfunction of the right ventricle have a higher mortality risk. It has been suggested that thrombolytic treatment, a drug that dissolves blood clots more rapidly, may reduce the mortality in those patients. The studies reported to date were unable to confirm or refute this hypothesis because the number of patients included in those studies is too low. The aim of the study is to compare thrombolytic treatment with heparin (which is the reference therapy for pulmonary embolism) in a large group of patients with sub-massive pulmonary embolism.
Transradial access is a recently developed alternative for diagnostic andf interventional cardiac catheterization. We sought to compare the differences between patients that have undergone PTCA transradial and transfemoral access from the nursing point of view: 1. Anxiety levels 2. Pain at access point, pain in general and level of pain during mobility 3. Differences in feelings of embarrassement 4. Differences in satisfaction
The study's hypothesis is that HD with large pore dialyzers remove to the dialysate iron which is bound to potentially dialyzable ligands, after it's release from intravenous iron compound administered during hemodialysis.
Effect of different doses of tomato extract (contain Lyc-o-Mato 6% Oleoresin which Contain: 5, 15 mg lycopene , in addition to Beta-carotene (0.15%), phytoene, and phytofluene (1%); and vitamin E (2%), phospholipids (15%), and phytosterols (0.6%) suspended in tomato oleoresin oil) compared with synthetic lycopene on blood pressure and plasma lycopene levels in never treated pre-hypertensive otherwise healthy subjects.
The registry will obtain information to determine the safety of sports participation for patients with defibrillators (ICDs).
The purpose of this study is to study the outcome of patients after ureteroscopy in which all fragments remaining after holmium laser lithotripsy were retrieved compared to those where small, insignificant fragments were left for spontaneous passage.
This study is a phase III, double-masked, randomized, study of the efficacy and safety of VEGF Trap-Eye in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Approximately 1200 patients will be randomized in Europe, Asia, Japan, Australia and South America.
Patients with varicocele in whon early prostate cancer will be found will undergo venographic embolization of both spermatic veins. The study hypothesis is that this procedure will induce a gradual regression of the prostate volume that may decrease prostate cancer cells. Close follow-up will ensure that necessary therapy will be provided if needed according to clinical criteria. Results in terms of prostate size PSA level and tumor size will be recorded.
