There are about 5547 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in India. 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.
ACLF is defined differently in APASL,EASL and AASLD.APASL talks of reversibility in ACLF as per its definition and constitution of Homogenous population with ACLF.The definition of ACLF as per APASL is an acute hepatic insult manifesting as jaundice (serum bilirubin ≥ 5 mg/dL (85 micromol/L) and coagulopathy (INR ≥ 1.5 or prothrombin activity <40%) complicated within 4 weeks by clinical ascites and/or encephalopathy in a patient with previously diagnosed or undiagnosed chronic liver disease/cirrhosis, and is associated with a high 28-day mortality .From the point of view of intensivists, events in form of organ dysfunction , failure or mortality would cumulatively effect the outcome.Reversibility of ACLF syndrome is a feature of the ACLF defined by the AARC criteria, as nearly all the patients included are after the index presentation.With mitigation of the acute insult and over time, the hepatic reserve improves ,fibrosis regresses and the portal pressure decreases. Further, unlike patients with decompensated cirrhosis and similar to patients with ALF, the reversal of coagulopathy preceded the reversal of jaundice,that is ,median time to reversal of syndrome, i.e jaundice and coagulopathy was 7 (4-30)days versus 19 (7-60)days for jaundice, respectively. The median time for reversal of syndrome, i.e, jaundice and coagulopathy ,was 30 days. Baseline albumin, AARC score and Transient elastography predicted long term reversibility .The disease severity assessment is needed for prognostication and to guide the therapy. Furthermore,the available prediction scores have been validated at baseline,but none has been evaluated in a dynamic manner for prognostication in ACLF patients.A DYNAMIC Model that could predict the reversibility in ACLF is urgently required.

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is seen as a blunted contractile responsiveness to stress, and/or altered diastolic relaxation with electrophysiological abnormalities, in absence of known cardiac disease. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with risk of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) , septic shock. , heart failure in the perioperative period following liver transplantation, and after trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion . The echocardiographic E/e' ratio is a predictor of survival in LVDD, with multiple studies, including prospective data from our Centre. The inability of the heart to cope with stress or sepsis induced circulatory failure is a key concept of the increased mortality risk due to LVDD. In view of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes epidemic and an increasing number of patients being diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, there is increased risk of developing cardiac dysfunction due to multiple comorbidities including coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, which are contributors to overall cardiovascular risk of mortality.
The rationale of this study is to establish a robust method for assessing sun protection product efficacy in preventing erythema and tanning. Employing both artificial ultraviolet-A Irradiation and natural direct sunlight exposure, the investigation seeks to provide a reliable methodology, ensuring reproducibility and enabling a direct comparison between these methods. Meticulously determining optimal UV dosages, the study prioritizes inducing skin responses for evaluation while avoiding adverse effects like blistering. The localized validation of UV exposure techniques, tailored to the Indian population, contributes significantly to the field by addressing diverse skin types and environmental conditions. By incorporating both artificial and natural (direct sunlight) UV exposure methods, the study aspires to enhance the safety and effectiveness of future dermatological investigations, benefiting both the scientific community and the broader population.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease.
Brain tumors involve different age groups with a wide range of tumor types involving different anatomical compartments of the brain. The evolution of the brain in vertebrates, including the most recent homo species (including humans), has occurred through increasing structural complexity in more evolved species. In the retrospective study, we will investigate the location of the tumors and different structural aspects of skull anatomy in patients with brain tumors. The information will be compared with the anatomical evolution of the brain and skull in vertebrates to look for possible associations, which can provide insights into evolutionary biology.
The primary objective of this study is to validate controlled methods of wound, including 1%w/v SLS, 3%w/v SLS, and 24-24 times tape stripping, on the forearms of subjects. The study aims to standardize the procedures for creating wounds and systematically evaluate the effects of these methods on various skin parameters.
Preterm infants are born at less than 37 weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes a break or tear in the fluid filled bag that surrounds and protects the infant during pregnancy leads to an untimely birth. This state puts the infant at risk of serious condition called sepsis. Sepsis is a condition in which body responds inappropriately to an infection. Sepsis may progress to septic shock which can result in the loss of life. Doctors give antibiotics to treat sepsis. The goal of this research study is to find out: 1. Among neonates at risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis, whether a policy of administering antibiotics selectively to a subset of at-risk infants who later develop signs of sepsis is not inferior to administering antibiotics to all at-risk infants in the 1st week of life. 2. To find out if infants receiving selective antibiotics (as above) compared to those receiving antibiotics from birth (as above) require fewer antibiotic courses of 48 hours duration or more in the 1st week of life. 3. To find out whether infants receiving selective antibiotics (as above) compared to those receiving antibiotics from birth (as above) are significantly different with respect to a wide range of secondary outcomes (listed under "Outcomes").
No study has examined the role of inhaled glycopyrrolate on mucus secretion. We hypothesize that nebulized glycopyrrolate will improve bronchoscopy procedure by effectively suppressing airway mucus secretion, thereby decreasing cough, and thus improving patient comfort during bronchoscopy. In this study, we aim to compare the efficacy of nebulized glycopyrrolate versus nebulized ipratropium in suppression of cough during flexible bronchoscopy.
