Filter by:Eligible candidates will be recruited within the children with overweight and obesity having a metabolic risk evaluation before treatment in the period 2006 and 2010 at the pediatric clinic of the UZ Brussel In total 60 participants will be investigated. Firstly, 30 participating patients with initially elevated hsCRP will be selected at random ( following the date of their initial investigation) and afterwards matched for age, BMI z-score, and blood pressure with the same number of patients without initially elevated hCRP values Data will be collected as follows: - questionnaires - clinical examination/ anthropometry - blood sample (hsCRP) - peripheral arterial tonometry (endoPAT)
The investigators propose to conduct a randomized behavioral trial that will produce a clinically useful multi-level integrative medicine model to be used in stress- and inflammation-related disorders that can easily be implemented with current pharmacological interventions to alleviate pain and improve QoL.
This study evaluates the hypothesis that osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) elicit anti-inflammatory actions through activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. In a cross-over design, research participants will be subjected to various combinations of OMT, taVNS, or sham interventions during four study sessions, that are at least one month apart. During each study session research participants will undergo OMT and/or taVNS for 3 consecutive days. Blood pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG) will be recorded on all three study days to assess parasympathetic nervous system function. On the 3rd study day a blood sample will be taken to assess the effects of OMT and/or taVNS on inflammation.
There is no standard of care medication regimen for the management of pain and inflammation post-corneal crosslinking (CXL), although most cornea specialists agree on use of an antibiotic and steroid eye drop in the immediate postoperative period. However, steroid tapering schedule and use of additional topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) eyedrops vary amongst practitioners. The goal of this study is to compare postoperative pain scores between patients receiving a tapering dose of topical steroids over 1-month post-CXL, versus those receiving an intracanalicular dexamethasone insert.
To study the effects of crocin supplement in patients with type 2 diabetes, 50 patients will be randomly allocated to placebo group and 2 tablets of crocin for 12 weeks. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammatory and anthropometric factors will be assessed and compared between groups.
The aim of REHAB trial is to investigate the impact of early mobilization after AMI in reducing left ventricular remodeling, as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. At the same time, the study aims to demonstrate the contribution of early mobilization to reduction of: systemic inflammation in the immediate post infarction phase, complication rates and mortality, in patients who had suffered a recent AMI, for a 1 year follow-up period.
Exaggerated inflammation in the body and brain is thought to play a role in the vulnerability to and aggravation and perpetuation of adverse consequences among those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The proposed study begins the process of investigating the use of a natural immunoregulatory/anti-inflammatory probiotic, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG; ATCC53103), to treat chronic symptoms associated with PTSD among Veterans. By looking at the impact of probiotic supplementation on biological signatures of increased inflammation, as reflected by biomarkers of inflammation, gut microbiota composition, intestinal permeability, stress response, decision making, and PTSD symptoms, this study may identify a novel intervention for the treatment of symptoms associated with this frequently occurring condition.
The study will assess running biomechanics and joint inflammation of physically active males between 40 and 60 years of age, mainly runners, suffering from knee joint inflammation and pain after training. Participants were split into two groups, intervention and placebo, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Exten(d) supplementation during 4 weeks.
This study was designed to identify whether there is a measurable reduction in inflammation in walls of intracranial aneurysms with oral atorvastatin.
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized cross-over dietary intervention in adult women who are overweight or obese to compare how yogurt and a control food affect biomarkers of inflammation and intestinal health.
