Filter by:Evaluation of the clinical safety and efficacy of loteprednol etabonate in an ophthalmic base, when compared to vehicle for the treatment of inflammation following cataract surgery.
Intestinal pathogenes are often involved in postoperative complications after colon surgery. Probiotic bacteria, i e live bacteria which have beneficial effects on the host when ingested, have been shown to reduce bacterial translocation in animal studies. However, in humans studies results have varied. The purpose with this study was to find whether high doses of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v affects the potentially pathogenic microflora of the gut, bacterial translocation and cell proliferation in patients undergoing planned colon surgery.
A not randomized , cross sectional study will be done to determine the possible association of coronary artery calcification (CAC) score assessed by multirow spiral computed tomography (MSCT) with specific and non specific uremic factor of vascular calcification.
This is a multi-center prospective follow-up study. - to choose the stable COPD patients in community - to compare different modes of exercise (cycling and walking) - to compare the effect of different exercises on the quality of life,exercise endurance,dyspnea and depression
The purpose of this study is to determine if 18Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging can detect changes in airways inflammation in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients after treatment for a pulmonary exacerbation.
The study intends to investigate the use of a novel gaz-composition used during laparoscopy upon pain and inflammation in the post-operative period.
Combining fish oil supplementation and Montelukast [a commonly used cyst LT1 receptor antagonist to treat exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB)] will provide a greater antiinflammatory effect against developing EIB that either agent alone
The study intends to focus on health effects and symptoms related to particle exposure from wood burning stoves The objective is to determine whether moderate exposure to particles from wood smoke in a real life situation causes an systemic inflammatory response in peripheral blood or in lower airways. 24 healthy subjects (normal healthy subjects and mild asthmatics to study the asthmatic response) is selected for the study. A randomized double blind crossover procedure will be followed with a PM exposure concentration of 200ug/m3, 400ug/m3 or clean air as the control exposure. Exposure will take place in a climate chamber using wood burning in an appropriate wood stove.
Over half of adults in this country are overweight. This increases risk for heart and blood pressure problems, cancer, stroke and arthritis. While it is difficult to lose large amounts of weight and keep it off, even small amounts of weight loss can improve health. Furthermore, fat is increasingly recognized as a source of substances that increase inflammation. It may be that some of the adverse consequences of being overweight are due to increased inflammation. We are asking you to volunteer for a research study in which you may lose a moderate amount of weight and increase your activity. It is important that you read and understand the information on this form. The purposes of these studies are to determine the influence(s) of age and body composition on the production of inflammatory chemicals by fat (adipose tissue), the mechanisms controlling this, and if a weight loss and aerobic exercise intervention results in a decrease in inflammation.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a certain kind of fish fat that has recently been shown to have health benefits. This study will examine the effectiveness of fish oil supplementation for reducing the early signs of heart disease risk and for improving mood, impulsivity, and anger levels.
