There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. 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.
Racemic ketamine and S-ketamine are used in clinical practice today. Little is known of their difference in effect on cerebral blood flow, volume and metabolism. cerebral blood flow (CBF) measuring techniques are limited in time so constant measurement to mirror a dynamic process is impossible or very difficult. A novel MRI application, arterial spin labeling, offers the possibility that without radiation or contrast, to measure semi-continuous CBF with measurements every 60-120 seconds. The investigators will give 14 healthy volunteers both study drugs in a randomised sequence with one week apart and measure regional CBF during the study period of 45 minutes after a sub-anaesthetic bolus dose of 0,6 mg/kg racemic ketamine and 0,3 mg/kg S-ketamine The investigators hypothesize that there is no difference between racemic ketamine and S(+)-ketamine with regards to Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) measured cerebral blood flow.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) of oral veliparib in combination with TMZ or in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel compared to placebo plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in subjects with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
The aims of the present study are: 1. To evaluate the effect of the induction of anaesthesia and paralysis in terms of changes in oscillatory mechanics parameters 2. To evaluate the mechanical properties of the respiratory system in terms of input and transfer oscillatory impedance in response to PEEP changes
Patients with longstanding ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease in the large bowel have an increased risk of developing cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if visualizing of the mucosa in details using a dye spray (indigo-carmine) will result in detection of more abnormalities than conventional colonoscopy without dye spray.
Propofol sedation with opioids is used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Combination of sedatives and opioids is associated with increased morbidity/mortality. Delivery of only propofol using a patient-controlled delivery system (patient-controlled sedation, PCS) could be an alternative for this purpose. Comparative studies with PCS for ERCP are few. Therefore, the main objective of this randomized controlled trial was to compare propofol PCS to sedation managed by nurse anaesthetists during ERCP.
This Phase III trial aims to: Explore the impact of pre-treatment information and radiation dose redistribution on locoregional control in patients with locally advanced SCCHN. The dose to the primary tumor with margins, based upon PET and CT information, will be inhomogeneously increased to a tumor dose between 70 and 84 Gy with decreasing dose towards the edges of the irradiated area. To determine the toxicity of combined modality treatment (cisplatin) with standard dose distribution versus combined modality treatment (cisplatin) with adaptive inhomogeneous radiation dose distribution.
SURVEY OF THE FIELD Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valve disease and increasing due to a growing elderly population. The therapy is aortic valve replacement (AVR). Studies on postoperative rehabilitation of AS pts are scarce. In the few studies available, a mix of valve diseases is presented without considering the differences in pathophysiology and the training regimes are not clearly described. PURPOSE, AIMS & HYPOTHESIS The investigators purpose is to evaluate whether a supervised cardiac rehabilitation program improves the objective physical capacity and quality of life (QoL) of patients after AVR due to AS, and compare this to patients training by their own. The investigators hypothesize that supervised exercise training may be a more efficient way of rehabilitating these patients. DESIGN This is a controlled randomized clinical trial comparing 12 weeks of supervised exercise training 3 times per week to home-based training based upon public health recommendations of minimum level of physical activity. SIGNIFICANCE & IMPLEMENTATION Positive results would support that an organized program of exercise training improves physical capacity and QoL in AS patients following AVR with potential benefit for both patients and society.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate if medication reviews performed by a clinical pharmacist as part of a ward team can reduce drug related problems and reduce readmissions to hospital among elderly patients (≥65 years) with dementia and cognitive failure. Four hundred and sixty patients will be recruited and randomized to control (usual care) and intervention group (enhanced service in which a pharmacist is part of the health care team). Six months after the last patient of the 460 has been discharged the study will be closed. Data about the number of readmissions and visits to the emergency room will be collected during the six-month follow-up and also, the costs associated with each visit or admission. Time until institutionalization will be compared between intervention group and control group.
The overall aim and primary objective is to evaluate the effects on level of depression and anxiety of an Internet-based CBT-program in depressed and/or anxious patients after a myocardial infarction (MI).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether chromoendoscopy using Indigo-Carmine dye spray is useful in diagnosing microscopic colitis among patients undergoing colonoscopy due to chronic watery diarrhea.
