There are about 5012 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Mexico. 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.
Thyroid diseases are pathologies that frequently affect pregnant women causing serious complications. This current research aims to find out whether the expression of TSHβX1 splice variant and D2 Thr92Ala polymorphism in the DIO2 gene are associated with thyroid disease in Mexican pregnant women.
Aim: To study the effect of a combination of functional foods on gut microbiota in subjects with metabolic syndrome. Subjects that met the metabolic syndrome criteria were enrolled in a double-blind, parallel-arm, placebo-control study. The subjects were randomized to receive a dietary portfolio (DP) or placebo (P) treatment for 2 mo. The primary endpoint was to study the effect of a DP on gut microbiota. Secondary endpoints were biochemical and anthropometric parameters, LPS, insulin, leptin, area under the curve for glucose and insulin.
Among the multiple treatment options for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM2), the influence on Insuline like growth factor 1 (IGF1) plays a causal role in diabetes but has shown similarities with insulin, both in its structure and in its function, including a rapid reduction in glucose levels in blood, could improve glycemic control in patients. Oral administration of 3 g of cinnamomum cassia for 90 days acts as an enhancer of the IGF1 insulin response and on metabolic control (fasting glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density cholesterol, low density cholesterol, very low density cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (TAS and TAD), body weight) in patients with DM2 without glycemic control treated with metformin at doses ≤ 850 mg daily.
The accumulation of excess of body weight is one of the most important problems worldwide, thus effective and accessible treatments are required. Some authors highlighted that treatment is focused solely on lifestyle (diet, physical activity, behavioral therapy) has a limited effect on body weight because it does not consider the biological mechanisms linked to weight loss in patients with obesity. On the other hand, drugs and bariatric surgery consider these biological approaches; however, its costs, safety and effectiveness limits its use on a large scale. Research studies support the existence of compounds in plants (such as epigallocatechin gallate, caffeine, cinnamaldehyde, fiber), and water with biological properties that would contribute to the treatment of overweight and obesity. However, at the moment, these compounds have only been evaluated individually and their effects have been significant but limited clinically, therefore, more research studies are needed to evaluate whether several of these compounds contained in common plants synergistically have a clinical impact on the management of overweight and obesity. The present work integrates diverse plant-based approaches to stop obesity and it is compared with a control group and a waiting list group. The main aim is to evaluate the efficacy of the Plant-based Approaches to Stop Obesity diet (PASO diet) compared with a control group on body weight at 3 months in Mexican adults with overweight and obesity. This is a pilot study designed as a randomized controlled trial. The study will be conducted with a (n=36). The primary outcome is the change in body weight from baseline to 3 months. Secondary outcomes will be the changes from baseline to 3 months in body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, symptoms of depression, quality of life scales and biochemical parameters (fasting glucose, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and gamma glutamyl transferase). Additionally two 24-hour dietary recall will be measured at baseline and 3 months to evaluate adherence to the intervention.
Body motion evaluation (BME) by markerless systems is increasingly being considered as an alternative to traditional marker-based technology because they are faster, simpler, and less expensive. They are increasingly used in clinical settings in patients with movement disorders, however, the wide variety of systems available make results conflicting. The objective of this study was to determine if a markerless 3D motion capture system is a useful instrument to objectively differentiate between Parkinons's Disease (PD) patients with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in On and Off state and controls; and its correlation with the evaluation by means of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Six PD patients who underwent DBS bilaterally in the subthalamic nucleus were evaluated using BME and UPDRS-III with DBS turned On and Off. BME of 16 different movements in six controls paired by age and sex was compared with PD patients with DBS in On and Off states. Kinematic data obtained with this markerless system could contribute to the discrimination between PD patients and healthy controls. This emerging technology may help to clinically evaluate PD patients more objectively.
Dihydromyricetin has demonstrated promising effects in glycemic control, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion, that above mentioned findings show that dihydromyricetin has an excellent potential effect in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Nausea and vomiting are common complications on the chemotherapy (CT) and can affect the quality of life (QoL) of the patients. If not treated adequately it can produce other problems such as dehydration, weight loss, fatigue and even can induce the non-compliance of the treatment. In extreme cases it can put the patient ́s life at risk. There are various antiemetic treatments that vary both in cost and effectiveness. It ́s important to determine which are the strategies that are most effective and can improve the QoL of the patients. Methodology: The analysis will be done in patients who receive adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and that have not received previously chemotherapy or radiotherapy, they will be stratified according to the emetogenic potential of the CT. They were given a diary of symptoms to register any discomfort suffered after receiving their treatment and also a quality of life questionnaire was applied previous to their first cycle and previous to their second cycle. The patients were divided in two groups receiving either A scheme (palonosetron) or B scheme (ondansetron) in combination with dexamethasone and fosaprepitant for prevention of early emesis and Dexamethasone to group A or Dexamethasone + metoclopramide to group B for prevention of delayed emesis. As well It was analyzed the three most prevalent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on gene ABCB1 using PCR. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and quality of life provided by the 2 regimes noted above based on Mexican population so the results obtained can be applied widely in our country.
The aim of this study is to assess the safety of Stemedica's mesenchymal stem cells in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The route of administration is intraarticular. Safety will be evaluated by AE/SAE incidence and administration tolerance. The subjects will undergo follow-up for 52 weeks. The target population is subjects with knee osteoarthritis (grade II-III in Kellgren-Lawrence scale).
A 52-week, placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of seladelpar in subjects with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response to or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) The participants might enter the ongoing open-label safety study (NCT03301506) following this double-blind study.
Despite available therapies, MM uniformly fatal and participants who have received prior lenalidomide (Len) and bortezomib have a median overall survival (OS) of 9 months. Pomalidomide (Pom) plus low-dose dexamethasone (Dex) significantly improved efficacy parameters in terms of progression free survival (PFS), OS, and overall response (ORR) compared with high-dose Dex in participants with refractory or relapsed, and refractory MM, including participants with disease refractory to both bortezomib and lenalidomide. Alkylating agents also represent standard therapies for participants with MM. There are some reports demonstrating combination of Len and continuous cyclophosphamide (Cy) achieve an ORR of 50% in Len refractory participants, suggesting Cy may be able to overcome resistance to Len. The investigators aimed to assess the safety in Mexican MM participants in relapse/refractory stage of the triple combination: IV Cy in combination with Pom plus Dex until disease progression. A multicenter study is proposed. Primary endpoint: Safety. Efficacy as secondary endpoint: PF, OS and ORR.
