Filter by:Sorghum bicolor is a naturally growing plant which has been of health benefit to the people of West Africa who traditionally prepare its leaf for various nutritional and health reasons.The food and nutritional fact analysis showed that Jobelyn is rich in Carbohydrates, Protein, Dietary Fiber, Iron, Natural Vitamins like B12 and Vitamin C. It also contains Selenium, Omega 3,6 and 9 and other essential elements and fatty acids. Although the determinants of mental health are complex, the emerging and compelling evidence for nutrition as a crucial factor in the high prevalence and incidence of mental disorders suggests that diet is as important to psychiatry as it is to cardiology, endocrinology, and gastroenterology. Evidence is steadily growing for the relation between dietary quality (and potential nutritional deficiencies) and mental health, and for the select use of nutrient-based supplements to address deficiencies, or as monotherapies or augmentation therapies. There is currently strong advocacy for the recognition of diet and nutrition as central determinants of both physical and mental health.Its anti-inflammatory and haematocrit boosting properties have been well documented though the precise mechanism of action is still largely unknown. Its use has recently been extended to the field of mental health where findings in animal study suggest it could be of help in relieve of psychosis. The need for this study is therefore aimed at investigating the effect of this drug in patients with schizophrenia which is the prototypical psychotic disorder.
The purpose of this study is to compare the additional diagnostic yield obtained by using the acetic acid as vital substance to improve the detection of serrated lesions at colonoscopy. Patients who are scheduled for screening, surveillance or diagnostic colonoscopy will be recruited to the study and randomized to one of two groups. Each enrolled subject will undergo two "back-to-back" procedures limited to the examination of the right colon. Subjects in Group A (study group) will undergo a standard colonoscopy. Once the right colon has been fully examined, acetic acid 2% will be sprayed and the right colon re-examined from cecum to hepatic flexure with within a frame-time of two minutes. Subjects in Group B (control group) will undergo a second examination of the right colon without acid acetic and within the same frame-time. Results from the two groups will be analyzed and compared, with primary outcome measures being detection rates for serrated lesions. Secondary outcome measures will include adenoma detection rate in the right colon or other locations, characteristics of polyps detected, including size and histological results. Subjects will be followed through a 24-72 hour telephone interview for analysis of unexpected adverse events. Clinical results will be analyzed using various statistical measures of significance.
This study is to make sure whether reduced-dose radiation treatment is sufficient to control the disease in patients with early-staged extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma, who have got complete remission tumor after chemotherapy in a new and more effective asparaginase-based GELOX regimen
Lung transplantation is a well established method for surgical therapy for patients with end stage pulmonary disease. The investigators seek to determine to which extent the pulmonary vascular barrier gets harmed during lung transplantation and whether pulmonary edema after reperfusion can be monitored with measurement of extravascular lung water index (ELWI). Additionally the investigaors are going to evaluate the correlation between ELWI and shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx. The study is designed as a prospective observational cohort study.
This study was designed to observe the effects of dexmedetomidine on delirium and haemodynamic in mechanical ventilated elderly patients,and to evaluate the safety of dexmedetomidine.
The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly hypertensive patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate S1 capsule plus Cisplatin as adjuvant treatment in stageⅡ and Ⅲa non-small cell lung cancer. It is the first study in the world to investigate the safety and efficacy of S1 capsule using in stageⅡ and Ⅲa non-small cell lung cancer patients after the complete resection.
The purpose of this study is to explore the optimal protocol for dexmedetomidine used in children during perioperative period.
Given the widespread use of anticonvulsants in the pediatric chronic pain population and the absence of scientific data supporting their use, the investigators propose a randomized, double blind, two group parallel design in which a broad group of children and adolescents with chronic neuropathic pain would be randomized to receive either Gabapentin or Oxcarbazepine. The Primary Aim of the Study is to assess the frequencies of successful treatment of pediatric patients with neuropathic pain treated with either Gabapentin or Oxcarbazepine. The Primary Hypotheses are as follows: Hypothesis I: Both Gabapentin and Oxcarbazepine will result in significant reduction in pain scores when compared to each patient's baseline. Hypothesis II: Patients who continue on active drug (Gabapentin or Oxcarbazepine) during the second phase of the trial will report greater pain reduction relative to baseline than patients who are randomized onto placebo at this randomization point. Secondary Aims of the Study are to compare groups treated initially with Gabapentin or Oxcarbazepine with regard to reduction in pain scores (both at rest and with evoked maneuvers), functional disability scores, tolerability, and measures of mood and cognitive functioning. Secondary Hypotheses are that Gabapentin and Oxcarbazepine differ in their effects on: 1. Pain scores at rest and with evoked maneuvers 2. Functional disability scores 3. Tolerability (frequencies of side-effects) 4. Depression and anxiety scales 5. Neuropsychological measures of cognitive processing speed, working memory, and attention.
The aim of the study is to assess bone geometry, bone compartment specific volumetric densities and micro-architecture as well as to evaluate non-invasive estimates of bone strength in patients with adult onset growth hormone deficiency.
