Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the erythema-reducing efficacy of a test product in two concentrations on a light sunburn induced by a sun simulator compared to an untreated control and a placebo product.
Maternal undernutrition concerns 10-19% of women of reproductive age globally, the vast majority of which live in sub Saharan Africa and south Asia. Recommendations for nutritional interventions to tackle the problem range from per-pregnancy supplementation to upstream interventions targeting women of reproductive age before conception. To render the latter interventions cost-effective and sustainable, experts recommend to focus on food processing that leads to an enhanced nutrient content. One such method, which has been known and practiced for centuries in diverse societies, is fermentation. Traditionally fermented foods are diverse, widespread and highly appreciated in Burkina Faso. The present study aims to investigate the effect of fermented millet porridge on gut microbiota diversity, stool short chain fatty acid concentration and inflammation markers level in women of reproductive age living in rural Burkina Faso.
This study aims to identify possible set of inflammatory biomarkers before, during and after anthracycline-based chemotherapy in breast cancer patients to identify (sub)clinical chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunctionCRCD to identify patients who would benefit from additional cardioprotective therapy.
This study is designed to investigate the health impact of a vegan diet compared to a usual, omnivorous diet. The investigators plan to study these diets in twins, where one twin follows a vegan diet and the other twin follows an omnivorous diet, thus the investigators control for genetic differences that might impact the effect of the diet.
The goal of this pilot study is to understand the combined effects of fish oil and exercise in obesity-associated inflammation acutely. We hypothesize that fish oil will improve gut bacteria profiles, which will in turn potentiate the benefits of an exercise program and reduce inflammation and metabolic risk.
As inflammation and oxidative stress increase in asthma patients, the severity of symptoms and clinical findings increase. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the possible effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inflammation markers and oxidative stress in childhood asthma. The study included asthma patient; 35 routine medication, 35 drug therapy and inspiratory muscle training (IMT), and 35 healthy total 105 children aged 8-17 years. Demographic information and hemogram values were recorded. Functional capacity was evaluated with the 6-minute walking test, quality of life PedsQL, respiratory muscle strength oral pressure measuring device, respiratory function test, dyspnea severity with Modified Borg Scale. C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Periostin, Transforming Growth Factor-βeta (TGF-β), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), Total Oxidant Status (TOS), Oxidative Stress Index (OSI) were analyzed. IMT was given with a Threshold IMT device for 7 days/6 weeks at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure, and then a second evaluation was made.
The goal of this project is to understand the combined effects of fish oil and exercise in obesity-associated inflammation. The investigators hypothesize that fish oil will improve gut bacteria profiles, which will in turn potentiate the benefits of an exercise program and improve energy utilization and reduce inflammation and metabolic risk.
In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will recruit participants to an 8-week "app-based wellness" intervention, followed by a 12-week follow-up period. The investigators will recruit a total of 276 self-declared Chronic Hematological Cancer (CHC) patients who (representative of age, race/ethnicity, and gender) will be on stable CHC pharmacologic therapy (if any), self-identify as sleep disturbed (>5 on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), do not have a sleep disorder diagnosis, do not take sleep medication/supplements >3 times per week, and are not currently practicing regular meditation. Aim 1: Test the efficacy of two app-based wellness programs (10 minutes per day) on the primary outcome of self reported sleep disturbance (Insomnia Severity Index (primary) and PROMIS Sleep Disturbance (secondary)) and secondary sleep outcomes including sleep impairment (PROMIS Sleep Impairment Scale) and sleep efficiency measured via sleep diaries and actigraphy. Aim 2: Test the efficacy of two app-based wellness programs (10 minutes per day) on inflammatory markers (i.e., TNF-a, IL-6, IL-8, CRP), fatigue, and emotional distress (i.e., anxiety, depressive symptoms measured with PROMIS®). Aim 3: Explore the sustained effects (i.e., 20 weeks from baseline) of two app-based wellness programs (10 minutes per day) in CHC patients.
The investigators will try to evaluate the effects of substitution of dietary animal protein by black soybean milk (400 mL x 2) per day on anthropocentric and metabolic parameters in obese subjects.
Articular Implant Infection (AII) is itself a complicated diagnosis and a challenging condition to treat. In elderly patients, the application of existing recommendations is impeded by multiple frailties For a better knowledge of the long-term consequences of AII in elderly patient, the investigators conduct a prospective, multicentric study, whitch aim this is to better evaluate the burden of AII on elderly patients, in terms of quality of life. Secondly, the investigators would like to identify the factors that influence the prognosis, in order to guide further prospective research.
