Filter by:To investigate if a daily dose of minimum 15 billion CFU of Bif195 reduces the risk of small-intestinal tissue damage in an Ibuprofen challenge model as assessed by video capsule endoscopy in a healthy US population.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains as one of leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, with postpartum period carries the greatest risk. Perinatal thromboprophylaxis is often administered based on risk-factor assessment. Low molecular weight heparin has a proven safety profile in obstetrics population, however its porcine derived content may lead to reduced uptake amongst certain religious groups. The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety of fondaparinux as an alternative postpartum thromboprophylaxis. The investigators planned a prospective, single arm, open label study. Women who fulfilled the criteria for post natal thromboprophylaxis based on the 2015 RCOG guidelines were recruited. Each patient would receive subcutaneous injection of Fondaparinux, 2.5mg daily for 10 days. The investigators would conduct a telephone interview on day 10 post delivery and six week outpatient review in clinic.
To evaluate the benefits of combining Doppler measurements of placental/fetal blood vessels with computerized cardiotocography (quantitative cardiotocogrpahy - qCTG) in the detection of fetal hypoxia (pH < 7.20) among late-onset growth restricted (SGR) fetuses
This prospective study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between the use of the erbium: YAG (Er:YAG) laser, intraurethrally administered in long non-ablative SMOOTH™ train of pulses applied at the level of the male prostatic urethra, to the use of the pharmacological treatment of oral tadalafil for the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). The results show that both treatments are effective in alleviating symptoms of CP/CPPS. The non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTHTM laser seems to be a promising treatment for this widely spread condition. More studies are needed to confirm its safety and efficacy.
Vascular access creation in patients with renal failure requiring long-term hemodialysis can be a challenge when there is no more autologous material or in case of infection, in a population undergoing long term dialysis with a longer life-expectancy. Many types of grafts have been used, with its advantages and drawbacks, such as prosthetic grafts (PTFE). Over the past decade, surgeons have used cold stored venous allografts as a biological conduit for hemodialysis, with the idea of avoiding most of major complications including a lower incidence of infection and steal syndrome, with patencies at least equivalent to PTFE. There is only a few data in the litterature, but many surgical teams use it when there is no autologous material or in case of infection. The aim of the study is to give the primary patency of vascular access with this technique, and to assess its long term outcomes.
This study is intended to explore the possible protective role of anti-androgens in SARS-CoV-2 infection
This study is part of the current global emergency scenario due to infection with Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 as indicated by the international taxonomy. Study aim is to investigate the possibility of the presence of the virus within the seminal fluid and in the urine of infected patients, both during the acute phase and remotely. Current evidences show that Coronaviruses can be present inside the testicle and sperm in other species, such as in feline and avian models. In human beings, current researches have mixed results regarding the presence of SARSCoV-2 in urine, as several studies with a large sample found no traces of the same with Real-Time Reverse method Transcriptase - Polymerase Chain Reaction or with method of nucleic acid amplification. By contrast, in just over 6% of 58 patients with Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction method have found the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the urine, even at a distance from the last negative nasopharyngeal swab. Given the topicality of the problem, our study has the objective of specifically researching the presence and possible persistence over time of SARS-CoV-2 in seminal fluid and urine. A saliva sample will also be collected as a control. At the moment there are no studies in literature that tested this possibility. If confirmed, it would lead to find out another potential method of transmission, the sexual one, in asymptomatic patients or apparently no longer infectious with negative buffer. The rationale for our study is the evidence that in other species this type of transmission by coronaviruses is possible and that at present it has not been verified in mankind. The relevance of the study would be both in the case of a negative result, as the first study in its generally, both in the case of a positive result, due to the possibility of introducing new prevention measures in the long run.
