MOG-IgG associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare inflammatory disease of the central nervous system recently described. Initially reported as monophasic, data from incident cohorts suggests that around 50% of adult patients with MOG-Ab may relapse within the first two years of the disease, with most of relapses occurring early after disease onset. No randomized controlled trial has ever been performed and therapeutic guidelines for this disease remain unclear especially after a single event. In short-sized and mainly retrospective study, azathioprine, an immunosuppressant drug, have showed promising results on preventing the risk of relapse in MOGAD patients. The hypothesis is that the initiation of a treatment after a first attack of MOGAD should prevent further relapse and disability accrual. The investigators propose herein the first randomized controlled trial in MOGAD, to evaluate the efficacy of azathioprine to prevent relapses, after a first attack, in a placebo double-blinded design.
Inflammation is an important pillar of atherogenesis in coronary disease. Studies have documented the prognostic power of measuring coronary perivascular adipose tissue attenuation (PVAT) and its good correlation as an early inflammatory biomarker in the atherogenesis process, in addition to being a predictor for cardiovascular events in the future. Colchicine, a medication with well-documented anti-inflammatory action and with an impact on reducing cardiovascular outcomes, may have an action in reducing FAI (fat attenuation index). This study aims to evaluate the effect of colchicine in reducing coronary perivascular inflammation.
Single site, double blind, placebo-controlled, longitudinal study of depression in Subjects with COVID- 19 long haulers syndrome using a 1:1 ratio randomization for a single IV infusion of 6 million cells/kg allogeneic marrow stromal cells (MSCs).
Perioperative neurocognitive impairment, including postoperative delirium (POD), is common in older patients after anesthesia and surgery and is associated with poorer short- and long-term outcomes, including worsening cognitive decline, surgical Complications, increased risk of hospitalization, and death after cardiac and noncardiac surgery. POD is more common with age, occurs in up to 65% of elderly patients, and increases in patients with mild cognitive impairment. As more and more older adults undergo surgery and anesthesia, POD has become a major global health challenge requiring urgent attention. Prevention strategies involving multidisciplinary perioperative interventions may have some benefit overall, but the impact on POD remains uncertain. Known inflammatory responses may be associated with adverse outcomes such as neurocognitive dysfunction and cancer recurrence after major surgery. Different anesthesia methods, the regulation of anesthesia drugs on postoperative inflammatory response has been confirmed in vitro, but its clinical significance is still unclear. Therefore, exploring the risk factors of inducing POD has important clinical significance for the early prevention of POD. Second, a recent study found that the incidence of POD was significantly higher in patients whose sleep cycle was disturbed during hospitalization. Animal experiments found that after 5 hours of sleep deprivation in adult mice, the number of dendritic spines in CA1 neurons in the hippocampus was reduced, and the length of dendrites was significantly shortened, which damaged the synaptic transmission of the central nervous system, and significantly improved memory and cognitive function. Damaged. And many studies have investigated whether bispectral index (BIS)-guided anesthesia is associated with a reduced risk of POD, compared with "standard-of-care" anesthesia or the use of goal-directed end-tidal volatile agent concentrations, the reasoning is that the use of BIS-guided anesthesia results in less anesthesia exposure, and therefore "light" anesthesia may reduce the incidence of postoperative POD compared to "deep" anesthesia. However, this conclusion is still controversial. The study of Anshentong et al. has confirmed that deep anesthesia with BIS maintained at 40-49 can delay postoperative recovery time, reduce the level of inflammatory factors and the incidence of early postoperative cognitive impairment, and reduce the incidence of early postoperative cognitive impairment. Brain damage. Therefore, although age is known to be the main correlative factor for POD, different depths of anesthesia may cause different stress responses in patients, resulting in different release of inflammatory factors. An additional risk factor may be preoperative psychiatric symptoms, and assessment of mental status is often overshadowed by concerns about multiple comorbidities in older adults. Anxiety disorders are one of the prominent psychiatric symptoms in older adults. very common. Preoperative anxiety is defined as an unpleasant restless or tense state secondary to patient concerns about illness, hospitalization, anesthesia, surgery, or the unknown. Studies on the relationship between preoperative anxiety and POD also vary in consistency due to the characteristics of different populations. Many of the current studies are mostly single-center with limited sample size, which may have a certain bias in the conclusions. Therefore, the investigators designed and planned to conduct a multi-center, large-sample cohort study to determine the impact of perioperative related factors and inflammatory markers on elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac major surgery .
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic multiorgan disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene. Chronic airway infection by bacterial pathogens accounts for the progressive, suppurative pulmonary disease that leads to significant morbidity and mortality in patients with CF. Neutrophil recruitment to the lungs accounts the most important contributor to pulmonary destruction. However, there is evidence that platelets may also have an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation. To our knowledge, there is few information in platelet levels in patients with cystic fibrosis during pulmonary exacerbation, chronic airway colonization and when stable.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and potential of a new experimental imaging instrument called multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) to detect inflammation in patients with chronic graft versus host disease of the skin or GI tract, Crohn's disease, or Colitis disease.
In recent years, dietary supplement are of great interest for the improvement of human health. This study is designed as a parallel, randomized, double blind study exploring the efficacy of two months daily oral dosing of five different food supplements together with diet restriction in 120 otherwise healthy overweight or obese adults on different biochemical and anthropometric parameters.
The pre-CIN trial is a randomized clinical three-arm trial comparing inflammation and cystoid macular edema for the medication regimens preoperative and postoperative topical NSAIDs to only postoperative topical NSAIDs to postoperative topical NSAIDs and steroids in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Fatigue is a common condition after an individual has a stroke. While the negative impacts of post-stroke fatigue are well known, the knowledge of the causes of post-stroke fatigue and effective treatments for post-stroke fatigue are lacking. This small study will investigate the possible benefits of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which uses small electrical currents supplied by a 9-volt battery, on post-stroke fatigue and investigate tDCS' possible anti-inflammatory effects.
