Filter by:The aim is to investigate the impact that water absorption properties in adhesives has on adhesion.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of acellular adipose tissue (AAT), intended for the repair of soft tissue defects in humans, in healthy volunteers. The investigators hypothesize that AAT will be safe and well tolerated upon injection into human soft tissue.
The purpose of this research is to identify and probe the neural networks involved in feedback processing. It aims at translating this knowledge to clinical populations in which this network is disrupted or compromised. It includes two studies: 1) with fMRI in healthy subjects to identify the neural bases of feedback processing on decision making using different types of feedback (neutral, social and monetary) presented either infra- or supra-laminary and 2) probing the role of one structure, the anterior cingulate cortex, using Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) in healthy subjects. The interventional part consists in the administration of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS), which by means of small intensity currents activates the vestibular organs and subsequently vestibular-related brain areas. GVS will be delivered to healthy participants engaged in behavioural tasks requiring the processing of feedbacks of different nature (e.g. social or monetary feedbacks)
Starvation and metabolic stress increase circulating ketone bodies, potentially providing the heart with an alternative oxidative fuel. Hyperketonemia reduces myocardial fatty acid consumption. It is unclear whether this is due to inhibited peripheral lipolysis or diminished uptake per se. Aim: To test whether infusion of 3-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) inhibits myocardial glucose and fatty acid uptake. Methods: Randomized, single blinded, cross-over interventional study in 8 healthy volunteers. Myocardial glucose and fatty acid metabolism studied by 11C-palmitate and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Experimental elevation of circulating ketone bodies by infusion of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate.
Nutritional clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of different functional meat products on the nutritional status of healthy people
This is a single-site, randomized, double-blind, double dummy, placebo-controlled single and multiple doses study of Aramchol in healthy Chinese volunteers. The subject population that was enrolled for Aramchol 004 was not specifically designed to understand the PK profile of Aramchol in subjects of Chinese descent. Therefore, this study (Aramchol 015) has been undertaken to ascertain the PK profile of Aramchol following single and multiple doses in a Chinese population under fed conditions utilizing the light breakfast from Aramchol 004. This study will consist of two parts and the subjects will be assigned to two parts. In each part of the study, subjects will be enrolled in the study within 28 days of screening.
This is an open-label, non-randomized study to determine the excretion kinetics and mass balance of GDC-0810, and to determine metabolites present in blood, feces, and urine in healthy participants following a single 300-milligram (mg) oral dose of GDC-0810 containing approximately 100 microcuries of [14C] labeled GDC-0810 using conventional absorption, metabolism, and excretion (AME) methodology. The entire duration of the study is up to approximately 8 weeks.
The previous research by one of our members in the research team (H. Miller) suggests a possible influence of oral nutrients intake of certain fat or carbohydrates (glucose, fructose) on executive control. On the other hand, another previous study from our group (L. Van Oudenhove) suggests a subliminal influence of intragastric administration of fatty acids on subjective and neural responses to negative emotion induction. The purpose of this study therefore is to examine the effect of intragastric administration of certain fatty acids and carbohydrates on executive control in healthy volunteers. Therefore one group of healthy volunteers are invited to the study. The participants will be randomly administered one of the three fatty acid emulsions or placebo via a nasogastric tube in each of the visits. After the exposure period, participants will use a computer to perform there different tasks to measure executive control. During each study visit, regular measurements of emotion, physical sensations, as well as blood glucose will be assessed. Furthermore, an electrocardiogram will be continuously recorded for the calculation of vagal function.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the relationship between rhinovirus specific T-cell immunity and the human host response to primary rhinovirus challenge and subsequent secondary challenge with either homologous or heterologous rhinovirus serotypes.
The study will be conducted in adult healthy participants and will consist of two phases: Prerandomization and Randomization. The Prerandomization Phase will consist of 2 periods: a Screening Period and a Baseline Period. The Randomization Phase will consist of 2 Periods (each 6 days long) separated by a 1-day long Baseline Period and End of Treatment (EOT) Period. A total of 60 participants will be enrolled into one of three arms. Arms 1 and 3 consist of 2 sequences, and Arm 2 consists of 4 sequences (as this is an incomplete block design with 2 factors [number of capsules and whether water or apple juice is used as vehicle]). Each participant will be randomized into one of 8 sequences.
