Filter by:Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs up to 50% of patients admitted to intensive care unit. Plasma Endostatin, released from basement membrane of Bowman's capsule, rises early during AKI. Aim of Work: To investigate the role of the plasma endostatin in the outcome prediction (renal recovery, ICU stay, mortality) of acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis. Methods: a prospective, observational single center study on 40 patients with Sepsis at the Critical Care Department, Cairo University hospitals between March 2019 and November 2019. Serum plasma endostatin was measured at the day of admission & every 48hrs (3 samples). APACHE II, SOFA scores were calculated. Forced diuresis was used if indicated.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a ketone ester drink will improve exercise in people with heart failure (HF) compared to a placebo. In HF, patients are limited in their ability to do all the things they want to do, and exercise as much as they would like, due to becoming tired and short of breath early. There may be several reasons why these symptoms occur. There is some evidence that in addition to problems with the heart, patients with HF also have problems with their arteries and muscles that affect their ability to exercise. Ketones have been shown to improve exercise capacity in healthy volunteers, which may be related to effects on the heart function or on muscles. An infusion of ketones through an intravenous (IV) line has also been shown to significantly improve heart function, but whether a drink can produce similar improvements in HF patients is not known. This drink has been given status by Food and Drug Administration as "generally regarded as safe". The use of DeltaG in this study is experimental. DeltaG has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use being evaluated in this study.
Rapid skeletal muscle wasting during critical illness had a detrimental impact on both short and long term outcomes following ICU admission. Increased dietary protein delivery might attenuate skeletal muscle wasting and its subsequent effects on post-ICU function. The investigators will conduct a 935 patient, randomised controlled, quadruple blinded parallel group trial to determine whether enteral nutrition with increased protein content in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients is able to improve functional recovery.
CMP-001-007 is a Phase 2 study of CMP-001 intratumoral (IT) and pembrolizumab intravenous (IV) administered to participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who have not been previously treated with a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blocking antibody. The primary objective of the study is to determine the Investigator-assessed confirmed objective response with CMP-001 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) The secondary objectives are to: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CMP-001 administered by intratumoral (IT) injection in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with HNSCC - To evaluate the efficacy of CMP-001 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with HNSCC - To evaluate the effect of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expressions on the efficacy of CMP-001 in combination with pembrolizumab Participants will continue to receive treatment of CMP-001 and pembrolizumab according to the treatment schedule until a reason for treatment discontinuation is reached.
This project aims to compare the difference in muscle strength, muscle elasticity and muscle coordination of quadriceps and hamstring muscle and their association with knee biomechanics during single leg hop landing in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
A Phase III, Randomized, open-label, positive-drug parallel control, Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TJ101 in Child subject with growth hormone deficieney.
This is a Phase II, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, multi-arm study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies as single agents or in rational, specified combinations in participants with advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors determined to harbor specific biomarkers. Patients will be enrolled based on local testing performed at a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified or equivalently accredited diagnostic laboratory. The multi-arm structure of the MyTACTIC study allows patients with solid tumors to be treated with a drug or drug regimen tailored to their biomarker identified at screening.
Primary objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of closure strategies post venous access procedures. Hypothesis: We anticipate that the use of a venous closure device will decrease the time to hemostasis (TTH), time to ambulation (TTA) and time to discharge (TTD) compared to conventional methods of closure following venous access procedure.
This study was a prospective, uncontrolled, central registration system, multicenter, domestic observational study (special drug-use surveillance) to evaluate the safety of 52-week clinical treatment with Beovu kit for intravitreal injection in nAMD patients.
This phase I trial seeks to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of entinostat in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide for the treatment of previously untreated aggressive lung cancer that has spread (extensive-stage small cell lung cancer). Entinostat and etoposide may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy drug that attaches to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Giving entinostat in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide may work better than atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide alone.
