Filter by:The aim of this study to investigate and compare cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) parameters of prediabetic, type 2 diabetic and healthy individuals. CRF assessed with cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) which is gold standard measure of CRF. Pulmonary functions, inflammation, disease specific parameters such as HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose etc affect CRF in prediabetic and type 2 diabetics.All parameters examine in this study.
This Study evaluates the effect of adding Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) to the post-operative pain management of sinus surgery patients and wether or not this addition reduces or eliminates the need for narcotic pain medications. Patients will be instructed to take an NSAID regimen after surgery and will be instructed to take narcotics only for breakthrough pain.
This study evaluates a high intake of milk compared with a high intake of soured milk (Swedish filmjölk) on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in a randomized crossover intervention study.
The investigators aim to determine the effect of suvorexant on subjective total sleep time (TST) in suboptimally controlled Type 2 diabetics with chronic insomnia in a randomized placebo-controlled trial for 3 months.
This study will recruit persons with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and will use an oral glucose tolerance test to test the hypothesis that insulin resistance drives inflammation.
Protocol synopsis Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital Title: Fibrosis, inflammation and cerebral infarction in patients with atrial fibrillation Study Design: The study is an observational prospective study of atrial fibrillation patients undergoing direct-current cardioversion. Primary Objective: To assess the prevalence and causes of new silent cerebral ischemic lesions after programmed direct-current cardioversion using diffusion-weighted sequences in brain MRI (DWMRI). Secondary Objectives: To study the impact of inflammation measured by biomarkers and cardiac 18F-FDG-PET on the risk for new silent cerebral ischemic lesions after direct-current cardioversion for AF. To assess the impact of fibrosis measured by biomarkers on the risk for new silent cerebral ischemic lesions after direct-current cardioversion for AF. To assess cognitive and cerebral structural and metabolic changes after direct-current cardioversion for AF using cognitive assessments and cerebral and cardiac 18F-FDG-PET before and 12 months after treatment. Number of Subjects: 50 Study Centers: Østfold Hospital Trust Duration of Study Participation: - Enrollment: 18 months - Follow-up period: 12 months - Total Study Duration: 30 months Primary Endpoints: • Number of new small cerebral infarcts detected with DWMRI two weeks after direct current cardioversion. Secondary Endpoints: - Rate of AF recurrence within 1 year after direct current cardioversion - Change in levels of inflammation biomarkersfrom baseline to 12 months follow-up - Change in levels of fibrosis biomarkers from baseline to 12 months follow-up - Cognitive function at 12 months follow-up - Changes in uptake pattern on cerebral 18F-FDG-PET from baseline to 12 months follow-up - Changes in uptake pattern on cardiac 18F-FDG-PET from baseline to 12 months follow-up - Brain volume at 12 months follow-up - White matter volume 12 months follow-up - Grey matter volume 12 months follow-up - Cortical volume 12 months follow-up - RSI-derived diffusion parameters 12 months follow-up: fast apparent diffusion coefficient, extracellular water fraction, fractional anisotropy; free water fraction; intracranial volume; NAWM: normal appearing white matter; neurite density; RSI: restriction spectrum imaging; sADC: slow apparent diffusion coefficient;restricted fractional anisotropy; white matter lesions.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the systemic impact of salting out of trace elements (TE) by metallic and nonmetallic implantable medical devices (IMD) and in particular the immune response of the organism to these trace elements and of their target organs, and to identify circulating protein biomarkers which might indicate an evolution of inflammation caused by an IMD.
Patients with acute onset Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKHD) was prospectively included in this study. They were systematically followed with clinical, posterior segment imaging exams and full-field electroretinogram during a minimum 24-month of follow-up. All patients were treated with 3-day methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by 1mg/day oral prednisone with a slow tapper during a median of 13 months. Non-steroidal immunosuppressive therapy (IMT) was introduced in cases of refractory disease or in cases of prednisone intolerance. Outcome measured by full-field electroretinogram was analyzed and patient was grouped as electroretinogram stable or electroretinogram worsening. Clinical data was analyzed in these two electroretinogram-based groups.
TIPIC syndrome (previously called carotidynia) is a rare entity of unknown cause, where the patient has a temporary cervical pain associated with a suggestive inflammation around the carotid artery. Usually considered as a unique and benign episode, some patients have recurrences and the follow-up is usually short. In this study the investigators aim to evaluate patients who presented a TIPIC episode at least 3 months before, clinically and with a cervical doppler ultrasound
This study measures SP, CGRP and VEGF expression in human dental pulp under occlusal trauma induced by occlusal interferences under moderate orthodontic forces or under a combination of occlusal trauma and moderate orthodontic forces because in clinical reality, patients under orthodontic treatment experience a combination of these stimuli on their pulp tissue.
