There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. 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.
This study seeks to compare mortality outcomes of levofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole treated patients who have Stenotrophomonas maltophilia blood stream or lower respiratory tract infections by retrospectively analyzing a propensity-matched cohort from a large dataset of electronic health record data.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of different messages about depression treatments.
This is a mechanistic, randomized, investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled, single-center, crossover study designed to evaluate the effects of premeal administration of whey protein microgels compared to placebo on postprandial glycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
A Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm Clinical Study of 51 study subjects who are seeking a procedure to reduce the appearance of the peri-orbital wrinkles. Up to 5 investigational centers in Israel and the United States will participate in the recruitment. Each study subject will receive four (4) treatments with Tixel in a monthly interval. Follow-up will occur 1 month and 3 months following last treatment.
Food insecurity predisposes to poor diet, thereby increasing risk for diet-sensitive chronic disease. This trial is to evaluate the impact of a model of weekly home-delivery of locally-grown vegetables along with selected whole grains on diet among low-income children living in a household with food insecurity. The investigators plan to enroll children (10-15 years) who will participate along with their parent/caregiver. Intervention will consist of 12 weeks of weekly delivered food plus recipes and text-messaged links to cooking instruction. Dyads will be randomized (2:1) to either immediate intervention or a wait-list control group, and diet and diet-related behaviors will be assessed in-person as well as over the telephone.
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), is a technology that can provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of oxygenation in tissue. The objective of this study is to obtain the cerebral regional oxygen saturation (cRSO2) in a preterm population that is born at altitude to determine if the range of "normal" values is different than those obtained at sea level.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and associated with many adverse health consequences, but many patients are unable to tolerate standard therapies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and thus remain untreated. Single-drug therapies have shown promising results in treating sleep apnea, but on average patients have only experienced partial relief. Multi-drug therapy may offer a more effective treatment approach. The goal of this study is to test the effect of combination therapy with three FDA-approved drugs (Diamox [acetazolamide], Lunesta [eszopiclone] +/- Effexor [venlafaxine]) on OSA severity and physiology.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Compare the effect of usual care with an adductor canal catheter (ACC) containing ropivacaine to the effect of usual care without an ACC on the second-postoperative-day pain levels among patients undergoing elective primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Among a sample of patients undergoing elective primary unilateral TKA who receive peri-articular anesthetic injections: 1. To compare the overall two-week levels of postoperative pain between those participants randomized to ACCs containing ropivacaine and those participants randomized to usual care without an ACC 2. To compare the use of opioid medications (in mean total morphine milligram equivalents) between those participants randomized to ACCs containing ropivacaine and those participants randomized to usual care without an ACC over the two-week postoperative period 3. To describe the incidence of complications related to ACC placement including infection, displacement, ACC-related clinic or emergency department (ED) visits 4. To conduct exploratory analyses to identify candidate predictors of differential response to the ACC
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel-group study in participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, and in participants with normal hepatic function. Degrees of hepatic impairment will be determined during screening by the participant's score according to Pugh's Modification of Child's Classification of Severity of Liver Disease. Participants will be enrolled in Groups 1 through 3 as follows: - Group 1 (mild hepatic impairment): A total of approximately 8 participants with a Child-Pugh score of 5 to 6. - Group 2 (moderate hepatic impairment): A total of approximately 8 participants with a Child-Pugh score of 7 to 9. - Group 3 (normal hepatic function): Approximately 8 to 16 participants will be matched to Participants in Groups 1 and 2. Normal hepatic function participants are allowed to match multiple hepatic impairment participants. Participants will be matched by sex, age (± 10 years), weight (± 20%), and smoking status.
The investigators test the PATH program to evaluate whether the program allows patients to spend more days at home in comparison to patients who receive regular care. The program will involve patients from Penn Presbyterian Medical Center with a set of diagnoses and will provide patients with enhanced services upon discharge from the emergency department.
