Filter by:Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most serious metabolic complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Insulin deficiency and inflammation play a role in the pathogenesis of DKA. The investigators aim to assess the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a marker of severity among T1DM patients with DKA and without infection.
Several controlled interventional studies have shown that there is a close correlation between cholesterol reduction and cardiovascular risk; in fact, reductions in serum levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), obtained through lifestyle modification or specific drugs, result in reductions in the incidence of major coronary events. The effectiveness of these interventions has been demonstrated both in subjects in primary prevention and in subjects in secondary prevention. Based on this evidence, the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has defined in the ATP III report the target values of LDL-C to be reached with interventions on food and / or pharmacological habits to perform an effective cardiovascular prevention. Although the atherogenic action of hypercholesterolemia is largely attributable to a direct damage exerted on vascular endothelium, recent studies suggest that the activation of a low-grade systemic pro-inflammatory state, typical of the patient with cardiovascular risk factors, does also play a role in the determinism of endothelial damage and atheroma degeneration of the arteries. It is believed that this systemic inflammation, as documented by the determination of some humoral signs of inflammation (e.g. C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α), may further contribute to an increase of cardiovascular risk. The inflammatory state can modulate the atherosclerotic process at various levels, determining endothelial activation, promoting leukocyte chemotaxis in the sub-intimal space of the arterial wall and therefore the formation of an atheromatous plaque rich in inflammatory cells; the latter represents the lesion responsible for the vast majority of the coronary and cerebrovascular events observed in subjects with cardiovascular risk factors.
The aim of this randomized, single-masked, controlled clinical trial study was to determine if the administration of electro acupuncture improves the outcomes obtained in combination with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Participants will get non-surgical periodontal therap with/without electro acupuncture. Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application clinical periodontal parameters,serum and saliva cytokine levels.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential beneficial effects in volunteer young adults of orally administered L. reuteri (DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289) on gingival inflammation. The null hypothesis was that no difference would be manifested by probiotic therapy regarding the conventional mechanical treatment (without probiotic administration).
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the physiological and molecular effects of exercise training in transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can exercise training improve physical fitness and muscle strength in transplant recipients? 2. Can exercise training modulate inflammatory profile, hormones, lipid profile, and exercise-induced molecules in transplant recipients? 3. Can exercise training improve blood pressure and endothelial health in transplant patients? Participants will be invited to an exercise training program 6-month after their transplant surgery. Body composition, physical assessment, and blood draw will be assessed at baseline and 12-weeks after exercise or control regimen. Researchers will compare exercise group vs. routine care group to see if exercise training impact the health-related outcomes of this population.
The goal of this randomized, controlled, single-center study is to compare the effects of Emdogain®, a regenerative biomaterial, on post-operative pain, wound healing and inflammation of treated sites after surgical crown lengthening. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of Emdogain® in conjunction with crown lengthening surgery improve post-operative soft-tissue healing, decrease inflammation and reduce patient perception of pain compared to crown lengthening without addition of Emdogain®? The treatment group will receive Emdogain® during surgery, and the control group will undergo standard crown lengthening without Emdogain®.
The current study aims to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory biomarkers and local inflammatory biomarkers on OCT in patients with treatment resistant diabetic macular edema(DME) and further explore the associations with treatment outcomes.
In this study, patients with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis in mature permanent molars were treated with two pulpotomies techniques after random allocation in either 2 groups: Diode laser pulpotomy and traditional pulpotomy using bioactive materials (retro mineral trioxide aggregate ) with each group.The null hypothesis of the study was there would be no difference in success rate between Diode laser and traditional methods of adult pulpotomy .
The aim of our study is to evaluate the prognostic roles of serum albumin level and systemic inflammation-related indices, including and not including serum albumin level, in the radiological progression of gonarthrosis. In this retrospective study, between 10.01.2017 and 10.01.2022, the data of the patients between the ages of 50-80, who applied to Ufuk University Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic with the complaint of knee pain and met the clinical criteria of the American Rheumatology Association for gonarthrosis (knee osteoarthritis) (knee pain on many days of the previous month, crepitation with active joint movement, morning stiffness lasting ≤ 30 minutes, age ≥38 years, bone enlargement of the knee on examination),and whose knee radiography and blood tests were evaluated at admission were scanned.
Show that there is a relationship between arterial stiffness and aortic parietal inflammation and that this relationship is different in the three age groups with aortic parietal inflammation occurring earlier than arterial stiffness.
