" Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wet AMD)" is characterized by the appearance of new choroidal vessels. Several clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of intra-vitreous injections of anti-VEGF (bevacizumab, ranibizumab and aflibercept) against these choroidal neovessels. However, some eyes appear to respond less well or be resistant to anti-VEGF injections, which affects visual acuity. To improve the clinical management of patients with wet AMD, it is important to be able to determine which factors determine the response to anti-VEGF treatment. Non-modifiable factors such as visual acuity or the patient's age at the time of the first injections, the type and size of choroidal neovascularization, as well as certain genetic polymorphisms are known. Two studies, one carried out in Korean patients, the other in different centers in Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and Switzerland showed that active smoking was associated with a poorer response to intra-vitreous injections of ranibizumab, since smoking is also an already well-known modifiable risk factor for the onset of AMD. Another study in the Netherlands shows a poorer visual prognosis after five years of injection treatment in patients who smoke. This study aims to study the effect of active smoking on the visual prognosis of patients with exudative AMD and treated with anti-VEGF injections in a Belgian cohort.
Evaluation of efficacy and tolerance of a food supplement (MYOSTIM®) versus a placebo in postoperative revalidation of patients after reconstructive surgery of anterior cruciate ligament. The food supplement (MYOSTIM®) has been developped and is supplied as food bars and composed of pomegranate, leucine, creatine, proteins and D vitamin. The aim of this exploratory study is to assess the efficacy and tolerance of MYOSTIM® on muscle performance after ACL reconstructive surgery and in postoperative revalidation phase.
Telerehabilitation Approach on Individuals with Hand-Affected Scleroderma
A prospective, observational study of all morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was performed. We evaluated preoperative comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors, and the appearance of postoperative complications up to 90 days after surgery.
Musculoskeletal pain is a common affection due to ageing, sedentarism and intense exercise practice causing acute and chronic injuries. The main objective of this trial is to prove efficacy of a natural topical composition containing Arnica montana, Hypericum perforatum, Calendula officinalis, Melaleuca sp. and menthol in pain management in adults with acute or chronic pain. This randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial will include 200 patients with musculoskeletal pain, 100 in the intervention group receiving the topical formula and 100 in the placebo group, who will receive a similar formula without active ingredients. The products will be applied topically twice daily for 14 days in areas with moderate or severe pain. The study objectives are immediate and long-term pain alleviation, stiffness perception joint mobility, and general recovery perception.
Conduct a pilot randomized control to assess the preliminary efficacy of IPROACTIF, an occupational therapist-delivered primary care intervention for aging and chronic disease management.
This randomized, single blind clinical study was conducted to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the drug Amizon (enisamium iodide), in comparison with placebo for the treatment of patients with acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI), including influenza. Enisamium iodide is an antiviral small molecule. Adult patients were enrolled and randomised into 2 groups. On the first day of the onset of symptoms of ARVI, one group of patients took Amizon tablets (active ingredient enisamium iodide) for 7 days; the other group of patients took matching placebo tablets for 7 days. Examination and observation of all participants was done for up to 14 days after the first intake of the study drug. The effect of treatment was assessed by subjective reporting of the symptoms of ARVI and influenza, using a predefined symptom scale score system. Objective assessment was performed by measuring vitals signs, laboratory tests (including blood and urine assessment), as well as evaluating the immune status (including measuring the relative concentration of interferon and immunoglobulins).
This study will evaluate the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and overactive bladder treated with Silodosin.
Several clinical procedures have been described as aerosol generating procedure (AGP), including nebulization, high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy, noninvasive ventilation, and bronchial hygiene treatment, etc. However, the understanding on the transmission risk of these treatments is still unclear, particularly the methods to reduce the airborne particulate concentrations during these treatments are still lacking. This study is aimed to compare different modalities in reducing airborne particulate concentrations during these aerosol generating procedures, in order to find the most effective method to reduce particle concentrations, ultimately to decrease the transmission risk and protect health care providers.
