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.
A population-based prospective cohort design will evaluate the progression of urine congophilia in pregnancy using the Congo Red Dot test by following patients longitudinally across gestation in Bangladesh and Mexico City.
Triple blind placebo-controlled study to determine if administering citrulline in patients with sepsis and severe sepsis slows progression to multiple organ failure and death, measuring biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction. Patients are divided into placebo or citrulline and followed up for 1 month.
The cell behavior that the investigators regard as "malignant," including: cell autonomy; invasion and digestion of surrounding normal tissues; migration and colonization of distant organs; ability to develop resistance to drugs, temperature, or radiation; and ability to kill the host, are not only characteristics of cancer cells, but of pathogenic and/or opportunistic unicellular organisms (bacteria, fungi and protozoa). Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902), the father of modern pathology, first pointed out the resemblance between the biological behavior of cancer cells and that of single-celled organisms when causing infections. He thought, incorrectly, that cancer cells were cells infected with bacteria and had acquired their pathogenic behavior from them. Others later postulated that the behavior of cancer cells was likely due to the re-expression of past traits and behaviors (atavism) derived from their past evolutionary experience as independent, single-celled organisms from which all cells in multicellular organisms originated. In other words, the behavior of pathogenic unicellular organisms, including: unlimited replicative potential; capacity for invasion, migration, and metastases; abilities to evade the host's immune system, to generate multi-drug resistance; and to kill a host, are what the investigators define as "cancer" when one of the investigators cells re-express these past ancestral traits. This reversion or de-evolution of a differentiated cell to its ancestral undifferentiated, unicellular form has been named "Atavistic Metamorphosis." This does not imply that cancer cells are bacteria, protozoa, or yeasts. It means that cancer cells express functions and/or behaviors similar to their ancestral parents, the unicellular organisms from which our cells originated. If this is true, a combination of drugs that are effective to eradicate certain unicellular organisms may work in cancer treatment. The principal objective of this study is to determine whether there is a benefit for patients with advanced, metastatic and terminal cancers to be treated with combinations of selected drugs conventionally used in medical practice to kill bacterial, fungal and protozoal cells.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of four dressings (covers) namely: gauze with petrolatum , cellulose acetate with petrolatum , pure carboxymethylcellulose with silver and nanocrystalline silver to improve the new growth of skin, reduce pain and itch in persons suffering from pemphigus and pemphigoid.
Shock is one of the five leading causes of income and mortality in emergencies. It generates a decrease in the availability of oxygen to the tissues, resulting in ischemia, pulmonary involvement and tissue reperfusion syndrome. This pathologies can trigger Syndrome of Acute Respiratory Distress (ARDS) and death. Troponin I (TI) has been reported as early marker for ischemia and mortality other than coronary syndromes in critical patients. Objective. Set the increase of TI as a predictor of ARDS in children with shock. Null hypothesis. Increase serum in children with shock predicts the onset of ARDS. Methodology. Prospective cohort type test diagnostic. Displays institutional. Sampling non-probability, consecutive inclusion. Calculation of the sample size: interval of confidence (IC) 95%, power - 80%; ratio non-exposed: exposed 2:1; n = 62. Inclusion criteria: informed consent signed by the parent; children admitted to pediatric emergency (PEU) 1 month to 14 years with shock requiring mechanical ventilation. Exclusion criteria: intake of toxic (TI value increment per will), ≥3 concentrated erythrocyte transfusion or plasma prior to entering PEU. The investigators call exposure to the increase of TI≥0 05ng/ml and event to the development of ARDS. Determine TI value in plasma serum in the first 24 h, through Enzyme Immunoassay for the Quantitative Determination of Cardiac-Specific Troponin-I in Human Serum (cTnI ELISA), (reported as cardiac triage). Monitoring for 7 days. Study was approved by Hospital Ethics Committee (Research record 003/12)
Haloperidol and Non-Pharmacologic Treatment are recognized treatments for delirium. This study will evaluate which is the best treatment for hypoactive delirium.
The goal of this study is to build a mathematical model to explain the effect of two doses of azilsartan (40 and 80 mg) upon metabolic (insulin resistance, glucose) and inflammatory parameters (cytokines) in function of "metabolic strata" like obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and their combinations.
- Determine the efficacy of nebulized salbutamol/hypertonic saline combination in moderate to severe bronchiolitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the infusion of intrathecal autologous bone marrow total nucleated cells would improve the neurologic evolution of pediatric patients with quadriparetic cerebral palsy.
Photocoagulation is the standard treatment in the focal EMCS, disrupts vascular leakage and allows the pigment epithelium remove the intraretinal fluid is effective in reducing the incidence of visual loss but can reduce contrast sensitivity and retinal sensitivity, the characteristics of the function can be reduced such as setting (location and stability) are relevant to the quality of the patient's vision parameters, reading comprehension, especially the ability, duration of diabetic macular edema, could have a significant impact on survival and / or the functional reserve of the macular cells subjected to mechanical and toxic stress-induced edema. It seems that in the treatment of patients with EMCS, photoreceptor damage occurs as a recent phenomenon, and can precede neurodegeneration retinal photoreceptor loss, whereby visual function can be decreased. An adjunctive treatment as Dorzolamide facilitating effect helping resorption of intraretinal fluid through EPR and reduce adverse events that is the loss of contrast sensitivity and retinal sensitivity, response time of photocoagulation treatment could be reduced to the patient, because the rate of resorption of intraretinal fluid is facilitated and thus the duration of the response, also could reduce damage to vision caused by the inadequacies of the photoreceptors during the evolution of macular edema avoiding moderate visual loss, there by increasing the quality of life in terms of improving the quality of vision in diabetic patients. In addition to obtaining a specific adjuvant treatment with photocoagulation is helpful for focal edema in diabetic and a new level using dorzolamide in retina Dorzolamide as adjunctive therapy after focal photocoagulation is more effective than placebo in improving visual function in patients with diabetic macular edema
