Filter by:Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have diabetic macular edema (DME). Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a complication of diabetes. Consistently high blood sugar due to poor glucose control over time can damage small blood vessels in the body, including the eye. Damaged blood vessels in the eye may lead to leakage of the fluid into the central part of the retina at the back of the eye (also called macula) where sharp, straight-ahead vision occurs. Fluid accumulation makes the macula swell and results in reduced vision. If not treated, DME can result in complete loss of central detailed vision. The study treatment intravitreal aflibercept (also called BAY865321) works by blocking VEGFR-1 receptor activity. Intravitreal aflibercept is already approved in over 105 countries for doctors to prescribe to people with DME. In India, aflibercept is approved conditionally for people with DME. The reason for this is that the sponsor was asked to collect more safety data for intravitreal aflibercept in Indian people with DME. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data to learn how safe intravitreal aflibercept is in Indian people with DME. To see how safe intravitreal aflibercept is, the researchers will collect the information/data on the medical problems the participants may have during the study, and which may or may not be related to the study treatment. These medical problems are also known as "adverse events" (AEs). AEs will be categorized according to relatedness, seriousness, discontinuation of therapy, action taken and outcome. The study participants will receive aflibercept as an injection directly into the space in the back of the eye once every 4 weeks in the first 5 months, followed by one injection every 8 weeks for the rest of the study duration. Only one eye per participant to be treated with aflibercept will be considered for the study. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 52 weeks. The treatment duration will be 48 weeks. For each participant 11 visits to the study site are planned. The study team will perform additional safety calls 16 to 36 hours after each visit starting at visit 2. Alternatively, an additional safety visit can be arranged/planned for the day after treatment. During the study, the study team will: - take blood and urine samples - examine the participants' eyes - do physical examinations - examine heart health using ECG - check vital signs - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. - in- administer the study drug At the end of the study the participants will be switched to commercially available treatment if recommended by the study doctor/if the participant still benefits from the treatment.
Researchers from the University of Michigan and Northwestern University are studying people's experiences with swelling caused by Nephrotic Syndrome. Interviews with patients (child and adult) and parents of young children will be conducted. The information collected from the interviews will be used to develop a survey to use when testing new medications for Nephrotic Syndrome. Please consider participating in a 1-hour long interview with the Prepare-NS research study to discuss children and adults experiences with swelling.
This study is designed as a Multi-center, open-label, dose escalation phase I trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single and multiple intravitreal injections of IBI324 in subjects with DME
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is one of sight-threatening, immune-related ocular diseases. The efficacy of current treatments for CME (anti-VEGF, glucocorticoids and other agents) are limiting. Minocycline, acting as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is among tetracycline family and recently, its immunomodulatory and anti-apoptosis function has been replied to several immune diseases and degenerative diseases. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of minocycline for CME.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the real-world outcomes of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients.
The present study is designed to reveal effectiveness of hyaluronidase and dexamethasone on reduction of postoperative edema, pain, trismus, and infection. For this purpose, 60 participants with symmetrical mandibular wisdom teeth enrolled the present study. All measurements and evaluations were performed before and 1, 2, 3, and 7 days later the operation.
Background Retinal vascular disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal hemorrhage, and retinal vein occlusion are significant causes of vision impairment and blindness worldwide. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common retinal vascular disorder and is the leading cause of vision loss among patients aged 25 to 74 years. Aim to compare formulated Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection versus Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide alone versus suprachoroidal triamcinolone in the management of diabetic macular edema.
In this prospective, randomized controlled trial; To evaluate the effect of kinesiology taping applied for edema on pain, edema and functions in the early period after total knee replacement.Patients who underwent total knee replacement will be included in the 10-day follow-up study.Patients will be divided into three groups by randomization. A conservative postoperative physiotherapy program, which is routinely applied to all groups, will be applied. Thus, no patient will be left without treatment. The first group will be considered as the control group, which will be given only a conservative physiotherapy program. In addition to the conservative postoperative physiotherapy program, the 2nd group will be taped without applying tension with a plaster and will be considered as the sham group. In the third group, in addition to the conservative postoperative physiotherapy program, kinesiotaping for payment will be applied.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased significantly in Hong Kong for the past decade [1]. Diabetic macular edema is one of the most common causes of vision loss in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus [3]. Before the introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, laser photocoagulation has been the mainstay treatment for patients with diabetic macular edema. There are two types of laser treatment modalities, namely focal laser, which can be applied either in a grid pattern over a region of macular edema or to selected microaneurysms, and subthreshold micropulse laser. Only one meta-analysis published in 2016 [16] had previously demonstrated superiority of micropulse laser over focal laser, while other studies showed no clinically significant differences between the two lasers. Nevertheless, micropulse laser had been proven to cause no structural changes to the retina and choroid, as opposed to focal laser. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a new, non-invasive imaging technique that allows a clear, depth-resolved visualization of the retinal and choroidal microvasculature in the macular region [22]. A recent case series study [17] has demonstrated early changes of retinal vasculature on OCT-A images after micropulse laser for diabetic macular edema. Another cross-sectional study [18] showed choriocapillaries alterations in some of the patients after receiving focal laser. We would like to compare the changes of different OCT-A parameters for patients receiving either type of laser, and hence evaluating their efficacy. We propose to take OCT-A images for patients before laser, 1-, 3- and 6-months post-laser based on the results of a recent case series [17]. We will analyse the OCT-A images with MATLAB software and compare the changes in different parameters between both lasers.
Acute or chronic cardiac dysfunction could be a contributing factor to swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE). Knowledge on cardiac function in SIPE is limited and recommendations for cardiac evaluation of patients with SIPE are lacking. The present study was designed to assess cardiac function in patients with SIPE and in asymptomatic swimmers.
