Filter by:The study aiming to measure the pleural pressure during thoracocentesis in patients with pleural effusion and the value of their measurement in both diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
Efforts in curing and preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been elusive thus far. One reason for that is the lack of understanding of the role of the brain in the development and treatment of the disease. In recent studies, the hypothalamus was identified as part of a brain network including higher cognitive regions that is particularly vulnerable to insulin resistance. Furthermore, the central insulin response in this network predicted food craving and hunger. In this project, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is implemented as a tool to stimulate brain networks. The investigators hypothesize that stimulating the hypothalamus-cognitive network will enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce food intake, food craving and hunger. Furthermore, the project will provide the unique opportunity to investigate novel mechanisms of insulin resistance in participants who have been extensively metabolically characterized.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in preventing those with mild or moderate COVID-19 from progressing to severe disease
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of dupilumab on skin lesions in patients with atopic hand and foot dermatitis. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To assess the efficacy of dupilumab on various other domains (pruritus, pain, sleep loss, health related QoL, work life impairment) in patients with atopic hand and foot dermatitis - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab administered to patients with atopic hand and foot dermatitis - To evaluate systemic exposure and immunogenicity of dupilumab in patients with atopic hand and foot dermatitis
This study was meant to see the effectiveness of press tack needle acupuncture in improving lactation insufficiency. The acupuncture points used in this study were CV17 Danzhong and SI1 Shaoze. Press Tack Needles were placed in these acupuncture points for 7 days in hope that it will give continuous acupuncture stimulation that might help in improving lactation insufficiency with minimal side effect, less time consuming, and more efficient for the patient.
In this retrospective study, we recorded the location of pancreatic tumors and relation/proximity to the portal vein. The surgical difficulty and requirement of additional interventions were also evaluated.
Observational prospective study aiming to assess acquired FXIII deficiency implications in morbidity and mortality
In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) outbreak, the home confinement of the population ordered by governments in many countries raise questions about its impact on individuals' physical and mental health in the short and longer term. In children, reduced physical activity, changes in lifestyle, disturbances in sleep patterns, lack of in-person contact with peers, poor or inadequate understanding of health risks may be risk factors of anxiety, stress, fatigue, sleep disorders. These problematic effects could be modulated by social factors (housing in urban or rural areas, availability of personal space at home, parenting stress, etc.).
Determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single doses of ARCT-810 in healthy adult subjects.
Caudal block is commonly used for postoperative analgesia in paediatric patients. A higher volume (1.5 ml/kg) of local anaesthetic for caudal block has been reported to not only increase the level of cranial spread but also provide better quality and longer duration of analgesia in comparison with the conventional volume (1.0 ml/kg). However, caudal block with a high volume of local anaesthetic can increase intracranial pressure (ICP). Previous studies have shown that propofol anesthesia lowers ICP when compared with volatile anesthesia. Therefore, this study was designed to test if propofol can reduce the magnitude of ICP increase following caudal block when compared with a volatile anesthetic, sevoflurane. There is increasing evidence that optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measured by ultrasonography correlates with degree of ICP and is able to detect intracranial hypertension. Therefore, ONSD will be measured as a surrogate of ICP.
