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.
the goal of this intervention study is to compare prospectively the accuracy of the power calculation between both groups, the intraoperative aberrometry (ORA) vs barrett universal II preoperative calculation (control group) . Researchers will compare ORA group vs control to see changes in spherical equivalent and uncorrected distance visual acuity
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, ability of VH4524184 when given alone to reduce the amount of HIV (viral load) in people with HIV-1 infection who have never received antiretroviral therapy (treatment-naïve). Data from this study will be used to decide how VH4524184 can be best included in a full-treatment regimen for HIV-1 in the future.
Multiple conditioning regimens have been used for the HSCT, some of which include radiotherapy. Total body irradiation (TBI) has demonstrated to be superior to chemotherapy alone in the phase III FORUM trial. However, concerns for long-term toxicity have made TBI less used. Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) has emerged as a new alternative that can potentially keep the benefits of radiation but reducing toxicity to healthy tissues. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of TMLI as part of conditioning schemes with or without etoposide for HSCT in patients between age 16 and 45 years with ALL in first line or relapsed disease. As secondary endpoint the efficacy will be assessed by minimal residual disease at 60 days post-transplant, as well as other outcome measures such as non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological neoplasms, being the second in incidence and third in mortality in Mexico. Recent studies show that EC molecular classification (Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network, 2013) serves to establish a more accurate prognosis in these patients and regulate therapeutic behavior in a personalized manner. However, there are no studies on EC molecular classification in Mexican women or its impact on prognosis and the possible modification of targeted treatment. The investigators will determine the molecular classification in EC by next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect TP53 and POLE somatic mutations, and immunohistochemical detection of microsatellite instability (MSH2, MLH1, PMS1, PMS2, MSH6, and MSH3) in a cohort of patients with endometrioid-type EC, endometrioid subtype, attended at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología - Mexico (INCan) and determine its impact on clinical prognosis.
This is a clinical trial aimed at understanding the impact of a shoulder exercise routine on postoperative shoulder pain in patients who have undergone laparoscopic hysterectomy. **Main Questions:** 1. Does implementing a shoulder exercise routine immediately after laparoscopic hysterectomy reduce postoperative shoulder pain? **Brief Explanation:** We want to see if doing shoulder exercises right after laparoscopic hysterectomy can help reduce the pain they might feel in their shoulders. This kind of pain can happen because of the gas used during the surgery. Using exercises could be a cost-effective and easy way to help patients recover better after the surgery. **Hypothesis:** We think that doing shoulder exercises right after laparoscopic hysterectomy will lower the amount of shoulder pain patients experience after the surgery. **Objective:** Our goal is to find out if a shoulder exercise routine can make a difference in how much shoulder pain patients have right after laparoscopic hysterectomy. **How We'll Do It:** This study aims to evaluate the impact of a shoulder exercise routine on reducing postoperative shoulder pain in women who have undergone total laparoscopic hysterectomy at the National Institute of Perinatology. Recognizing the high prevalence and intensity of post-laparoscopy shoulder pain, the study compares the effectiveness of shoulder exercises to hand exercises in managing this pain. Patients, selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be randomly assigned to either the shoulder or hand exercise group. The exercise regimen involves performing specific movements at regular intervals during the immediate postoperative period, except at night. Pain intensity will be measured using a Visual Analog Scale at various intervals postoperatively. The study controls for several variables, including visceral and incisional pain, duration of pneumoperitoneum, analgesic use, and patient characteristics like BMI and comorbidities, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the exercises' effectiveness. The hypothesis tests whether shoulder exercises can reduce shoulder pain more effectively than hand exercises. This research could have significant implications for enhancing recovery and pain management strategies post-laparoscopy.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of orforglipron compared with dapagliflozin in improving blood sugar control in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with inadequate glycemic control using metformin. The study will last approximately 46 weeks.
Cerebral vascular events (CVA) have a high prevalence in our environment; they are the first cause of disability and the second cause of death in the world (6.6 million deaths). 71% of all strokes worldwide correspond to the ischemic type, which is defined as an infarction in the brain, spinal cord or retina; The remaining 10-40% are hemorrhagic and are due to rupture of cerebral arteries. Until epidemiological week 35 of 2022, 34,643 cases were reported in Mexico, for this week in 2021, 26,462 cases had been reported. Baja California is among the first three places in the country with the highest number of reported cases, the majority corresponding to the male sex. The key clinical characteristic is the sudden appearance of a focal neurological deficit. Imaging studies such as head computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging allow us to differentiate the subtype and mechanism of CVD since treatment differs markedly between CVD of ischemic origin and that of hemorrhagic origin. Vitamin B12 or cobalamin is a tetrapyrrole cofactor; One of its functions is to participate in the metabolism of homocysteine, which has been reported in various studies and it has been shown that high levels of this increase the risk of vascular diseases, such as stroke. On the other hand, vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to platelet dysfunction, causing significant bleeding. There are few protocols that have sought the direct association of cobalamin with CVD and even fewer with the hemorrhagic type. This condition is one of the main causes of admission to the Emergency Service of the General Hospital of Mexicali where they are given the necessary attention such as performing imaging studies and taking laboratory samples and based on the results the treatment to be followed is decided; However, measurements of vitamin B12 levels are not performed in this population. If the association is demonstrated, it could be implemented as a preventive measure for cerebral vascular events.
This study aims to explore the effect of 5-Hz rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on the BDNF, craving and cognitive function. This study will be longitudinal, with a short-term double-blind placebo-controlled phase consisting of 20 rTMS sessions and a long-term phase, consisting of 2 weekly sessions for 12 weeks. Participants will be clinically assessed pre-treatment (T0), after 20-sessions phase (T1) and after 12-weeks phase (T2) by an interview about psychiatric symptoms. Also, blood will be obtained in the same T0, T1 and T2 to peripheral levels of BDNF determination. Cognitive state will be measured at the same time-points (T0, T1, T2) by paper-pencil and computerized neuropsychological assessment. Researchers will compare active rTMS versus placebo 5 Hz-rTMS on described variables. Additionally, a comparative group (without rTMS intervention) will be included to equivalently measure described variables during periods without cocaine consumption.
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common orthopedic injuries worldwide. Currently, the use of the bone patellar tendon bone graft (BPTB) technique is considered the gold standard. The use of the quadriceps tendon graft (QT) has gained greater interest in recent years, this because with an adequate technique it is possible to obtain a biomechanically superior graft with fewer adverse events. The objective of this study is to compare the objective and subjective clinical results, as well as the presence or not of adverse events in ACL reconstruction with these 2 types of grafts in the medium term. Materials and methods: Controlled, longitudinal, prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial that will include patients of both sexes, between 15 and 55 years of age, with primary ACL injury who attend the outpatient clinic of the Sports Orthopedics Service. INRLGII arthroscopy between October 2023 and October 2025, prior informed consent. Graft selection will be done randomly 1:1 between bone-tendon-bone (BPTB) graft Vs. quadriceps tendon graft (QT) for ACL reconstruction surgery. The clinical evaluation of the patients Will be done by 2 blinded evaluators, through the objective measurement of KT-1000 and the use of subjective clinical knee scales, both preoperatively and at 3-6-12 and 24 months. The presence or absence of adverse events or complications will be documented during a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Parametric and non-parametric statistical tests will be used depending on whether the distribution is normal or not, for dependent and independent groups, using the SPSS version 25 statistical program.
The goal of this observational study is to describe the prevalence of germ line-pathogenic variants in Mexican patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the prevalence of pathogenic variants in genes associated with lung adenocarcinoma in Mexican patients younger than fifty? 2. Which clinical-pathological characteristics are associated with germ-line pathogenic variants in patients with lung adenocarcinoma? 3. How actionable somatic mutations are associated with germ line-pathogenic variants of patients with lung adenocarcinoma? Participants will be asked to sign an informed consent; after that, they will be instructed to donate 10 ml of peripheral blood by venipuncture in the morning and before the patient has taken morning medication and the first meal, following a period of 8-12 hr fasting.
