Filter by:This study will investigate the relationship between resistance training load and repetitions on cardiometabolic outcomes. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether high load or low load resistance exercise training affects arterial stiffness in overweight or obese men and women. Our secondary objectives are to investigate the effects of high and low load RT on vascular function, cardiac structure, and markers of insulin sensitivity. Finally, we are going to preliminarily explore the effects of resistance training on intestinal bacteria.
The aim of this randomized, double-blind controlled clinical study was to evaluate the absolute risk and intensity of sensitivity to dental bleaching in adults on the application of two different gels based on potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride from a prospective randomized clinical study.
The purpose of this study is to provide evidence of clinical efficacy of an experimental dentifrice containing stannous fluoride (SnF2) compared to regular fluoride dentifrice in the reduction of dentinal hypersensitivity (DH). This study will be considered successful if there is a statistically significant difference in the primary efficacy variable, change from baseline in Schiff sensitivity score, after 8 weeks of treatment.
The BAT II Study is a cross-sectional diagnostic study in which children with suspected IgE-mediated allergy to foods (namely cow's milk, egg, sesame and cashew), as defined by a history of an immediate-type allergic reaction to a food or no history of food consumption or the presence of food-specific IgE as documented by skin prick test or serum specific IgE, will undergo a diagnostic work-up to confirm or refute the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy. Participants will be prospectively recruited from specialised Paediatric Allergy clinics in London and will undergo skin prick testing (SPT), specific IgE testing to allergen extracts and allergen components, basophil activation test (BAT) and oral food challenge. The diagnostic accuracy of the BAT and of other allergy tests will be assessed against the clinical gold-standard.
The overall objective is to validate the methodology of a metaplasticity experimental design by assessing change in motor excitability after administration of priming transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) followed by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in healthy human participants.
Patients with hormone sensitive oligometastatic prostate cancer (≤ 5 metastatic tumours outside of regional pelvic nodes with no more than 3 in any organ system) and no previous treatment to prostate will be treated with intermittent androgen deprivation therapy +/- chemotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy to all metastases, and either radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy.
Treating and caring for people with long term conditions accounts for a substantial proportion of health care resources. Self-management is advocated as a mechanism that can empower service users with long term conditions to choose healthier options and also transform the relationship between service user and caregivers from one in which the former is a passive recipient of care to one in which they are an active partner in decision-making. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one such long term condition. Patients with ILD often express concern about the lack of information on possible rehabilitation programmes and other services that could potentially improve self-management of the disease. In addition, there is a general perception about a lack of co-ordination between health care professionals especially in relation to referral to services for comprehensive management of the disease. Therefore, the needs of patients with ILD and their carers, and possible gaps in service provision need to be explored further. In this study, the investigators propose to explore the needs of ILD patients from all types of ILD and all stages of severity and to also involve carers and clinicians. The investigators will conduct three focus groups for patients and carers and six one-to-one interviews with clinicians to explore perceptions about service gaps and needs in two ILD centres in South and North London, UK. This study will provide valuable information to develop the building blocks of a self-management resource and will enable the investigators to make it specific to the different types of ILD.
The investigators plan to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture at highly sensitive points, compared with lowly/non-sensitive points or no acupuncture (waiting-list), in improving pain, joint function and quality of life, among patients with KOA. The safety of acupuncture will also be assessed during the study period.
To compare the use supplementation based on green banana flour versus placebo in the insulin sensitivity on individuals who have prediabetes.
The purpose of this study is to assess AR101's safety, tolerability and efficacy over an extended dosing period.
