Filter by:Aim of this prospective, parallel multi-arm, randomized, clinical trial, was to compare the clinical outcome of patients Methods.We recruited children who undergone diagnostic colonoscopy in Umberto I Pediatric Department (Rome, Italy) from 2008 to 2010. Eligibility criteria were: 1) only demonstration of LNH; 2) no concomitant disease; 3) no treatment assumed since the clinical onset. Patients were allocated 1:1:1 to dietetic (Group A) vs mesalamine (Group B) vs no treatment (Group C) for a 8-weeks period. Skin prick tests and patch test for common foods, and symptoms scoring at baseline and follow up have been performed by blinded clinicians. Chi-square test for trend was used to compare the frequency of symptoms score improvement (>1 point) among groups. The association of baseline features of patients with the clinical response was estimated by frequency analysis.
The conventional glucocorticoid replacement therapy in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) renders the cortisol levels unphysiological, which may cause symptoms and long-term complications. Glucocorticoid replacement is technically feasible by continuous subcutaneous hydrocortisone infusion (CSHI), and can mimic the normal diurnal cortisol rhythm. This method was recently applied to treat a patient through a critical phase of puberty. This is a clinical trial aiming to evaluate CSHI treatment in patients with CAH. The main objective is to determine the effects of CSHI on metabolic parameters (androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone profiles, and testosterone,adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH), cortisol, and bone markers), and to determine the required glucocorticoid doses. Secondary objectives are to determine effects on clinical status, body weight, blood pressure and other metabolic parameters, as well as on subjective health status (AddiQoL, SF36).
CMD can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive trait. CMD may also be caused by de novo mutations. The goal of this study is to identify genes and regulatory elements on chromosomes that are the cause for CMD. The investigators also study blood samples and tissue samples from patients to learn about the processes that lead to this disorder. The investigators long-term goal is to find mechanisms to slow down bone deposition in CMD patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the bioavailability (rate and extent of absorption) of two tansulosine 0,4 mg capsule formulations. An open, randomized, two-period crossover study with a seven-days washout interval was conduced in 32 healthy male volunteers. The plasma samples were obtained up to 72 hours after drug administration. A sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of tansulosine in human plasma. Bioequivalence between the products was determined by calculating 90% confidence intervals for the ratio of Cmax, AUC 0-72h and AUC 0--inf.
The aim of the study is to assess the value of contrast enhanced ultrasound in the evaluation of de novo focal liver lesions in clinical practice, in a prospective multi-center design.
Objective: To examine the risk factors for coexisting endometrial carcinoma in patients with endometrial hyperplasia. Method: Seventy-seven patients who received hysterectomy for endometrial hyperplasia were enrolled and divided into the non-endometrial carcinoma group (57) and the endometrial carcinoma group (20) depending on the final pathology. Clinical variables were analyzed.
A prospective multicenter trial has been started in Korea to investigate the treatment efficacy of Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in endometrial hyperplasia (EH) patients. The LNG-IUS is known as an alternative of oral progesterone agents without incurring the disadvantages of oral progestogens. Therefore, it is hypothesized that if the therapeutic efficacy of LNG-IUS is similar or above oral progesterone, LNG-IUS would be a standard treatment for the EH patients who don't want hysterectomy. LNG-IUS is inserted into uterus of which patients are histologically confirmed as endometrial hyperplasia. Office endometrial aspiration biopsy and transvaginal ultrasound is conducted every 3 months at outpatients The primary endpoint is response rate. Secondary endpoint is to estimate the consistency of the results between office endometrial aspiration biopsy and dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedure.
Restenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia causes repeat target vessel revascularization in a relevant number of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Drug-eluting stents (DES) are currently adopted to reduce the rate of restenosis; however, they may increase risk of stent thrombosis. Experimental data and first clinical experiences showed that inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia may be obtained by local administration of anti-proliferative drugs (like paclitaxel) loaded on the surface of angioplasty balloons. Data on the efficacy of novel coronary drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) are lacking. Aims of this open label prospective, randomized trial is to evaluate neointimal hyperplasia in patients undergoing bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation alone compared to those receiving additional DEB use and to assess if the technique of DEB use may affect the degree of neointimal hyperplasia. Neointimal hyperplasia will be assessed by Optical coherence tomography (OCT).
RATIONALE: Studying levels of mesothelin and osteopontin in samples of blood from patients with mesothelioma or atypical mesothelial hyperplasia may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at mesothelin and osteopontin as diagnostic markers in patients with mesothelioma or atypical hyperplasia.
This is a prospective single centre Study designed to assess by OCT the effect of NUMEN cobalt-chromium balloon-expandable stent in inducing neointimal hyperplasia in de novo native coronary lesions of patients with Stable Angina Pectoris or ACS (except STEMI). A total of 60 consecutive patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients with de novo native coronary artery lesions >10mm and <24mm in length and >2.50mm to <3.50mm in diameter by QCA estimate who meet all eligibility criteria will be enrolled and undergone stent implantation. After stent deployment an OCT imaging will be performed within the treated segment. Patients will be followed at 30 days, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure, with all patients having repeat angiography and OCT at 6 months. It is anticipated that the total length of the study will be 18 months: 6 months to complete patient enrolment and 12 months for follow-up.
