There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. 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.
Multicentre, prospective, observational, non-interventional, open- ended trial, collecting data from male and female patients aged ≥ 18 years, with a diagnosis of opioid addiction according to ICD-10 (F11.2), treated with therapeutic doses of levomethadone according to the routine medical practice.
This study will investigate the correlation and agreement of Quantra-derived parameters with parameters reported by the ROTEM delta and standard laboratory tests in cardiac surgery patients. In addition the association of Quantra-derived parameters with select platelet function tests will be investigated.
outpatient infants (0-6 months of life), affected by symptoms of upper airways disease will be randomly assigned to two type of intervention: A: treatment group, receiving resveratrol and carbossimetyl beta glucan; B: control group, receiving saline solution. Each subject underwent clinical history, objective examination and detection of rinovirus in the nasal secretions at enrollment, after 48 hours and after 7 and 30 days.
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Multi-Electrode RF Balloon catheter for the treatment of drug refractory symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
A Phase 3b Proof-of-Concept study to evaluate the ability of fevipiprant 150 mg and 450 mg, compared with placebo, as add-on to nasal spray standard-of-care (SoC), in reducing endoscopic nasal polyp score in adult (≥ 18 years) patients with nasal polyposis and concomitant asthma.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical activity and safety of INCMGA00012 in participants with advanced solid tumors where the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors has previously been established.
The presence of dyslipidemia, is a significant cardiovascular risk factor. This factor, however, determines the three-fold increase in cardiometabolic risk when an isolated or mixed dyslipidemia is associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic alteration resulting in a decrease in insulin secondary to reduced availability of this hormone or an impediment to its normal action or a combination of these factors. . Under normal conditions, the vascular endothelium responds to short-term increases in flow by releasing NO and other endothelium-dependent relaxing factors that dilate the artery. Flow-mediated dilation(FMD) is impaired in atherosclerotic coronary arteries. The supplementation with polyphenols of olive leaves, bergamot extract, gymnema sylvatic extract (gymnemic acid) and phaseolamin (bean protein) significantly improves the glico-lipid balance through an improvement in liver function, an inhibition to more levels of lipid metabolism . Recently, it has been documented how the polyphenolic fraction extracted from bergamot (BPF) administered orally both in animal models with induced hyperlipidemia diet, and in patients with metabolic syndrome, produces a significant and substantial reduction of serum cholesterol, triglycerides and blood levels of glucose. This effect was accompanied by an important improvement in vascular reactivity in patients with hyperlipidemia and high blood sugar, suggesting the potential protective role of BPF in patients with metabolic syndrome and elevated cardiovascular risk. Oleuropeina (Olea Europaea) is also characterized by a peculiar polyphenolic profile. Both fruits and leaves, thanks to their cardioprotective activity, are used as antihypertensive agents and in the treatment of vascular disorders. The gymnemic acid (glycosidic triterpene), extracted from the leaves of Gymnema Sylvestre, is the representative element of the plant. Thanks to its presence in the phytocomplex, it carries out a hypoglycaemic action through two main mechanisms: inhibition of intestinal sugar absorption and increased metabolic transformation of glucose at the cellular level. To better define the interrelations of systemic CRFs, FMD, and effects of chronic nutraceutical supplements we performed clinical evaluations and ultrasound measurements of the flow and diameter responses to forearm cuff occlusion in a large, well characterized community-based cohort.
Platelets play a key role in the athero-thrombotic process. However, the in vivo mechanism accounting for thrombus growth at site of coronary atherosclerotic lesion has not been fully elucidated. While platelet adhesion and aggregation on the thrombogenic core of atherosclerotic plaque is an established mechanism for thrombus growth, the role of systemic factors, which may contribute to thrombus via amplification and propagation of platelet aggregation, is still to be clarified. There is a growing body of evidence that lipopolysaccharides (LPS), are implicated in athero-thrombosis. Circulating levels of endotoxins have been associated with human atherosclerosis progression, particularly in smokers or in patients with infections. Furthermore, endotoxins seem to be implicated in the thrombotic process through several mechanisms including up-regulation of macrophage tissue factor expression and amplification of platelet response upon interaction with Toll-like receptor 4. The relationship between endotoxins and platelets may be relevant in the context of acute coronary syndromes as endotoxins could locally amplify platelet-derived thrombus growth but this issue is still unexplored. Previous studies demonstrated that low-grade endotoxemia is detectable in human circulation, likely as consequence of enhanced gut permeability, and may be responsible for leucocyte-platelet aggregate and eventually thrombosis. The investigators hypothesize that low-grade endotoxemia may be observed in patients with coronary heart disease and may favor, at site of coronary unstable plaque, thrombus growth. To explore this issue, Escherichia Coli (EC)-LPS concentration and biomarkers of platelet activation will be measured in coronary thrombus and intra-coronary blood of patients with STEMI and stable angina (SA), respectively, and in peripheral circulation of both patients and controls. EC DNA will be searched in serum of all patients by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Furthermore, to substantiate that LPS could be biologically active, immune-histochemical analysis of thrombi and in vitro studies will be performed to assess the interplay between LPS and platelet activation.
Aim: to evaluate and compare radiographic marginal bone loss (MBL) and soft tissue parameters around submerged/two-stage and nonsubmerged/one-stage single implants with same tapered body design and surface, same thread design and distance, and same collar surface (laser-microgrooved), after 3 years of loading.
PCOS patients were treated every day, with one sachet containing 2000 mg myo-inositol, 500 mg L-tyrosine, 40 mcg chromium picolinate, 55 mcg selenium, 200 mcg folic acid. All patients underwent, before starting the therapy, after 3 months and 6 months, hormonal evaluation , hirsutism scoring and ovulation assesment. Most of them during the treatment improved their symptoms.
