Filter by:This prospective, single-center, randomized, double-masked, parallel comparison, sponsored study seeks to investigate the efficacy of Intracanalicular dexamethasone Insert (IDI) on ameliorating the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
To determine if a reduction of pneumonic inflammation occurs after treatment with Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) applying red-light technology in the respiratory system of COVID-19 patients suffering from acute viral pneumonia.
In this investigation the investigators utilized NAC supplementation to boost GSH availability during an one-week-microcycle consisting of three soccer games, in order to test the hypotheses that: i) antioxidant supplementation may enhance the recovery of performance and physiological stress variables following multiple match-plays and ii) redox status perturbations are critical in regulating the inflammatory response and repair in skeletal muscle, following repetitive exercise-induced muscle injuries.
Assessing the efficacy and safety of DEXTENZA, sustained release dexamethasone 0.4 mg insert following corneal transplant surgery (PKP, DSEK, DMEK) as compared to topical prednisolone acetate 1%.
There is a compelling need for a noninvasive imaging approach to measure S1P1 in both preclinical models of diseases and humans. PET measures of S1P1 expression is critical for elucidating the pathophysiological roles of S1P1 in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. The relevance of S1P1 in clinical disease has become readily apparent with the FDA approval of the S1P1 modulator FTY720 (fingolimod) for treating relapsing-remitting MS (RR-MS). MS is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease caused by lymphocytic infiltration that leads to demyelinating neurodegenerative disease.
The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, has derived a pandemic in which its evolution and complications depend on the immune capacity of the host. The virus has been characterized by presenting an inflammatory cascade, increased by the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, the decrease in metalloenzymes and also the rapid spread of the virus. There are several lines of treatment, however, nutritional treatment only considered a caloric intake. For this reason, this study will evaluate the evolution of patients with COVID-19 assisted by nutritional support system and the effect of this therapy in reducing complications and comorbidities. Research question: Will the nutritional support system reduce complications in stage III positive COVID-19 patients with comorbidities (type 2 DM, SAH, overweight / obesity with BMI <35), with a better benefit than that achieved with the conventional nutritional treatment ?. Hypothesis: The nutritional support system will reduce the complications of patients with COVID-19 in stage III with comorbidities. General Objective: To determine the effect of the use of a nutritional support system on complications in patients with COVID-19 in stage III with comorbidities. Methodology: A controlled, blinded, randomized clinical trial will be conducted in patients with COVID-19, hospitalized at the ISSEMYM Toluca Arturo Montiel Rojas Medical Center, who meet the inclusion criteria. The evolution of the group of patients receiving the nutritional support system (NSS) and the normal diet implemented by the hospital will be evaluated against the group of patients receiving only the diet, using clinical examination, laboratory and cabinet tests during their hospital stay. Statistical analysis: for independent groups with normal distribution, Student's T will be applied. If the distribution does not meet normality criteria, a Mann Whitney U will be performed; Two-way ANOVA will be applied to monitor the groups over time with normal distribution. If the distribution does not meet normality criteria, a Friedman test will be performed, in both cases post hoc tests will be performed. The results will be analyzed using version 6 of the Graphpad Prism software.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of a stress reduction intervention on atherosclerotic plaque inflammation in adults with stable coronary artery disease, as quantified by positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in individuals with increased psychosocial stress.
Assessing the efficacy and safety of DEXTENZA, sustained release dexamethasone 0.4 mg inserts following 27 gauge vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peel
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the health related benefits of a superfoods nutrition supplement on health related quality of life.
The study will compare basic properties of gut epithelia of hypertensive and normotensive reference subjects. The study will determine if there are fundamental differences in the gut epithelium in hypertension compared to normotension.
