There are about 5618 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.
PCOS is a widely reported condition among young female population and anti-androgen agents are increasingly being used as part of the medical management of such cases. However, Clinical studies have reported higher prevalence of gingival inflammation, loss of attachment and gingival enlargement in women taking hormone based oral contraceptives. Additionally, CPA has been reported to have an osteoclastic action. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the effects of these medications on the periodontal condition of PCOS patients having gingivitis, who already are pre-disposed to systemic inflammation. Therefore, the present study aims to longitudinally evaluate the effect of CPA/EE combination regimen on the periodontal status of female patients diagnosed with PCOS with pre-existing gingivitis..
The purpose of this research study is to investigate a shorter radiation treatment schedule for head and neck cancers. The present study is a non -randomized phase II study that will enroll 50 patients and test feasibility of 30 Gy in 5 fractions of the primary disease and ipsilateral level I-III disease.
Gingivitis is a highly prevalent chronic bacterial disease in susceptible children, adults and the elderly, persisting for decades in subjects, and is an essential precursor of periodontitis. Several studies have shown periodontitis and subgingival P. gingivalis to be associated with increased C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and CRP has been implicated as a possible mediator of the association between periodontitis and several systemic diseases Limited data are available today addressing detrimental systemic effects of experimental or natural gingivitis as they have been rarely investigated. Results of various studies support the concept that gingivitis leads to systemic inflammation and that the level of systemic inflammatory markers increases proportionately with increase in gingival inflammation. It has also been seen that appropriate dental prophylaxis can also limit systemic markers of inflammation in subjects with natural gingivitis. Sex hormones have long been considered to play an influential role on periodontal tissues, bone turnover rate, wound healing and periodontal disease progression and can influence the cellular proliferation, differentiation and growth of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Estrogen is mainly responsible for alterations in blood vessels and progesterone stimulates the production of inflammatory mediators. In addition, some micro-organisms found in the human mouth synthesize enzymes needed for steroid synthesis and catabolism. Sex hormones are neither necessary nor sufficient to produce gingival changes by themselves. However, they may alter periodontal tissue responses to microbial plaque and thus indirectly contribute to periodontal disease. (Markou). Till date, no study has been conducted assessing the serum hsCRP levels in females of reproductive age group with gingivitis. This study, thus, aims to assess the effect of scaling on serum hsCRP levels and periodontal parameters in systemically healthy women of reproductive age group with gingivitis.
This is a seamless Phase 1/2 study consisting of two components. Phase 1 component is a dose-escalation, single arm, open label study in 10 patients to evaluate the safety and tolerability of KRC 01. Phase 2 component is a randomized, open label, controlled, multi-center study in 60 patients to evaluate the preliminary antitumor effect of KRC-01 in combination with CRT.
Periodontal intrabony defect is a specific osseous defect with definite morphology. Numerous therapeutic modalities for restoring such defects have been investigated. Nanocomposites and nanostructured materials are thought to have a key function in hard tissue research, since natural bone tissue is a distinctive model of a nanocomposite. Collagen has been potentially used in periodontal tissue engineering. The integration of collagen as a structural protein, serving as an essential component of connective tissue into three-dimensional scaffolds implanted after periodontal injury, necrosis or inflammation has attracted much attention in tissue regeneration. If a collagen matrix collapses after implantation, host cell migration and blood vessel penetration may be impaired, which in turn negatively influences tissue degradation and integration as well as extracellular matrix production in the interior of the biomaterial. Thus, volume stability is an important parameter for tissue augmentation. Volume stable collagen matrix (VCMX) is able to overcome the volume stability limitation of most commercially available grafts.7 It is one of the most biocompatible, novel material to be used in this study. It will be the first time that VCMX is to be used to regenerate the periodontal tissues in intrabony defects in humans.

An optimal endotracheal tube depth is ideally required for preventing the complications associated with mal-positioning of the endotracheal tube. The topographical technique of tube placement considering the individual's morphometric dimensions could help to provide optimal tube placement. hence, to evaluate the efficacy of the topographical technique in providing the optimal tube placement this study will be conducted.
The triad of liver disease, arterial hypoxia, and extensive pulmonary vascular dilatation is known as the hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). The prevalence of this syndrome ranges from 10% to 30% in people with chronic liver disease. The exact cause of HPS is unknown. Previous research has shown that eicosanoids function as vasoconstrictors and cause an increase in the number of intravascular macrophage-like cells. Cirrhosis has been linked to increased NO generation in the lungs, which has been linked to intrapulmonary venous dilation. Increased pulmonary NO production is attributed to increased expression of pulmonary vascular endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and inducible NO synthase. Increased hepatic synthesis and release of low levels of endothelin 1 (ET-1) has been established in recent investigations to function as a trigger for increasing eNO levels. TNF (tumor necrosis factor) and ET-1 have both been linked to the onset of experimental HPS. Increased CO generation and heme oxygenase expression have been linked to the progression of HPS in recent investigations. HPS increases mortality in cirrhotic patients and may affect the frequency and severity of portal hypertension consequences. To the best of our knowledge there have been only three pilot studies in humans which checked the effect of pentoxifylline in hepatopulmonary syndrome and they showed highly contrasting results. The outcome was also measured in a short interval. Investigator hypothesize that pentoxifylline would improve the oxygenation in patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome
The principal aim of the study is to evaluate the prosthetic complications with CAD-CAM fabricated provisional prostheses and denture conversion prostheses after 3 months of function. Supported restorations are now a predictable treatment modality for the rehabilitation of complete and partially edentulous jaws.Immediate loading of the placed implants is performed for the rehabilitation of the edentulous arch to improve patients' function. This can be usually done by converting the existing denture base of the patient or by making a CAD- CAM milled provisional prosthesis integrating digital workflow. A laboratory fabricated denture base can be converted into a screw-retained provisional prosthesis post implant placement. This is known as conversion prosthesis. However, drawbacks of these prostheses include increased chairside time for the clinician leading to inconvenience for the patient and a potential for an error in prosthesis fabrication. With the introduction of CAD-CAM technology, it is now possible to fabricate a provisional restoration using digital workflows. This workflow would help the clinicians save a considerable amount of chairside time and obtain potentially stronger restorations better polished and without contamination of surgical field. Studies assessing the soft tissue response and patient-reported outcome measures between denture conversion and CAD- CAM fabricated provisionals are currently lacking in the literature.
