Filter by:Conjugated linoleic acid or CLA, is one of the food supplements that could be found in meat, fats, and dairy products of ruminants which has been fed grass not on grains. CLA has shown anti-cancer, anti-obesity, and anti-inflammatory effects in several animal modules, but the results of the human studies were not consistent. Also, a very limited number of studies looked at the CLA effect on the respiratory system. The study will look at the effect of 12 weeks of supplementation of conjugated linoleic acid on obesity markers, lung functions, lipid profile, and inflammation in overweight and obese women in a double-blind randomized control trial. The study looked at the inflammation using different approaches, where it looked at the expression of adhesion molecules on the proinflammatory monocytes as well as it analysed the expression of the stress proteins Heat-shock proteins (HSPA1A and HSPB1)on the PBMCs.
The purpose of this study is to assess long term safety in participants who have completed a Novartis trial with secukinumab, have been judged by the investigator to benefit from continued treatment with secukinumab, and are unable to obtain the marketed secukinumab formulation.
The purpose of this research study is to determine which of the two ingredients of Vytorin (Simvastatin or Ezetimibe) is responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of Vytorin
The purpose of the present research protocol is to investigate and identify translocator protein 18kDa, MRI DTI, and EEG/ERPs, markers of Chronic Systemic Symptoms (CSS).
This is post-market study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MDI - 101 a novel tear substitute for the treatment of dry eye (DE) in subjects with evidence of inflammation of the ocular surface. In particular, this study intends to evaluate, in a cohort of 25 patients, the anti-inflammatory properties of the product under study over a period of 10 weeks
Women who had an adverse pregnancy outcome (APO), such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, or gestational diabetes, have a higher risk for heart disease. Some of the extra risk for heart disease after APOs is thought to be caused by inflammation. Investigators will randomize women who had an APO in the past 3 years to receive an anti-inflammatory supplement or serve as a time control. Investigators will compare blood pressure, arterial stiffness, blood vessel reactivity, and blood markers of inflammation between women who did and did not receive the supplement. Investigators will determine women's attitudes about taking a dietary supplement and measure whether the participants who receive the supplement take all or most of the doses.
REACCTING (Research on Emissions, Air quality, Climate, and Cooking Technologies in Northern Ghana) is an interdisciplinary randomized cookstove intervention study in the Kassena-Nankana District of Northern Ghana. The study tests two types of biomass burning stoves that have the potential to meet local cooking needs and represent different "rungs" in the cookstove technology ladder: a locally-made, low-tech Gyapa rocket stove and the imported, highly efficient Philips gasifier stove. Intervention households were randomized into four different groups, three of which received different combinations of two improved stoves, while the fourth group serves as a control for the duration of the study. Diverse measurements assess different points along the causal chain linking the intervention to final outcomes of interest. The investigators assess stove use and cooking behavior, cooking emissions, household air pollution and personal exposure, health burden, and local to regional air quality. Integrated analysis and modeling will tackle a range of interdisciplinary science questions, including examining ambient exposures among the regional population, assessing how those exposures might change with different technologies and behaviors, and estimating the comparative impact of local behavior and technological changes versus regional climate variability and change on local air quality and health outcomes.
This controlled, randomized, double blind, multicenter study will be carried out to demonstrate that the topical ophthalmic nanoemulsion of difluprednate 0.05% (Tolf®, Poen Laboratories), has a high anti-inflammatory efficacy, which would allow it to be administered after cataract surgery 1 drop, twice a day , starting the day before surgery and continuing for 14 days and 1 drop, once a day for the following 2 weeks, achieving an adequate anti-inflammatory activity, with the benefit of reducing the toxicity on the ocular surface, improving the dosage and adherence to treatment. The follow-up time will be 28 days and the outcome measures will be evaluated in a baseline (time 0), on day 1, on day 4 and on day 28 after surgery. The active control will be prednisolone acetate 1% + phenylephrine hydrochloride 0.12% topical ophthalmic suspension (Prednefrin® Forte, Allergan Argentina) given 1 drop, 4 times a days and 1 drop, twice a day for the next 2 weeks. Corneal thickness, central macula thickness, endothelial cell count, intraocular pressure, visual acuity, anterior chamber clearance and lacrimal film recovery will be evaluated.
Proof-of concept clinical trials have indicated that the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator fingolimod may be efficacious in attenuating brain inflammation and improving clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke as a single therapy beyond 4.5 hours of disease onset, or in combination with alteplase within 4.5 hours of disease onset. This study aim to determine whether fingolimod enhance the action of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke
Periodontal marginal and periapical diseases cause a huge destruction of tissues surrounding the tooth with periodontal patients. Treatment consists on elimination of pathogens, which are presented in periodontal pockets and also in root canals. To increase efficiency of endo-perio treatment there is used diode laser wavelength 940nm. Laser disinfection is done in periodontal pockets and root canals. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of endo-perio lesions with use of medicaments and diode laser. The study will present cases of endo-perio lesions around molars in investigated and control group. Teeth were subjected to endodontic and periodontological treatment. The roots and pockets have been disinfected with a diode laser only in investigated group. In the both groups between the visits into root canals there were applied alkaline paste. The treatment was completed after 6 months. Before the beginning and after the end of treatment there were made a two-dimensional image and CBCT. CBCT was subjected to manual segmentation. The resulting streolitographic models were allowed to check the change of bone volume.
