Filter by:Gait dysfunction often occurs following stroke, neurological or musculoskeletal disease, injury and surgery. One of the consequences of such deficit is an increased risk of fall and injury. A gait training regime that incorporates controlled perturbation has been found to reduce falls in elderly population but the effectiveness of such training has yet to be studied. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of specific controlled dynamic perturbation training, during gait, on gait rehabilitation, fear of falling and falling with gait impaired individuals. Perturbation will be performed using a specifically designed system that provides small, controlled and unpredictable perturbations during treadmill walking.
The object of this study is to compare the effect of PRP versus Corticosteroid injection on pain in patients with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome up to 12 months after treatment. It is believed that PRP will be as good as corticosteroids for short term pain relief, and will produce longer lasting pain reduction.
Brain edema is the main reason for the disability and lethality in traumatic brain injury, which is the most difficult part of emergency rescue. Recently, there is no medical equipment to monitor the early brain edema in clinic. We have found that Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can perform the real-time and bedside monitoring of brain electrical impedance after single-dose mannitol treatment, which may be a new strategy for the surveillance of brain edema. In this study, we would like to compare the application in traumatic brain edema between EIT and Noninvasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, including the progress of brain edema, the relationship between impedance and ICP, and the improvement for the patients' prognosis. EIT would probably be a new image strategy for the treatment of traumatic brain injury.
The incidence of sudden hearing loss is rising obviously resent year, Glucocorticoids have obtained obvious effect in the treatment of sudden deafness. Postauricular hypodermic injection is the latest findings in clinical work and a new noninvasive way of administration which is gradually expanding research. The aim of this experiment is to verify and explore the efficacy and safety of the postauricular injection treatment with different doses of Glucocorticoids.
Data on the perioperative management of patients cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is limited and published guidelines rely mainly on the experience of the cardiologists and anesthesiologists who manage these patients. Depending on the device type and patient's dependency, these guidelines recommend the intraoperative magnet use, reprogramming of devices or no action. Magnet placement on a CIED (very simple and applicable method) has become the standard approach in many centers, while CIED reprograming by trained personnel is required in most centers. Therefore, our objective is to compare in a prospective randomized clinical trial the safety of intraoperative magnet use vs. CIEDS reprogramming vs. no intervention (in the appropriate subjects)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exemestane plus everolimus are effective in the treatment of patients who have achieved disease stabilization after induction chemotherapy for hormone-receptor positive metastatic breast cancer.
Paclitaxel is chemotherapeutic agent used in many of the most common anti-cancer regimens. Its use is frequently associated with moderate to severe muscle and joint pain that may persist for several days after the treatment. This side effect, known as "Arthralgia-Myalgia Syndrome, has a significant impact on the quality of life and functional abilities of those receiving the treatment, and is not alleviated by many of the interventions attempted for that purpose. Sporadic reports suggest that a drug called gabapentin may be effective in the management of this adverse effect. Observations from our practice indicate that pregabalin, which possesses similar biological activity to that of gabapentin, may also be useful in preventing and treating paclitaxel associated myalgia - arthralgia. The current study represents an initial evaluation of the hypothesis that pregabalin may be beneficial in the management of the symptoms due to the "Arthralgia-Myalgia Syndrome". The investigation will be carried out in the format of a small scale, randomized, placebo controlled trial with patients receiving paclitaxel in the course of standard treatment for breast cancer.
Healthy subjects take single dose of 80mg atorvastatin, then measured their circulating endothelial microparticles and flow-mediated vasodilation in the brachial artery by ultrasound at different time points.
This study aims to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of FEIBA® in patients with severe haemophilia A and inhibitors.
Background and Aims - H.pylori is a common human pathogen by which almost 50% of the world population is infected. According to the accepted guidelines, once H.pylori infection has been diagnosed,first line therapy with three drugs should be given. The triple treatment includes proton-pump-inhibitor-clarithromycin-amoxicillin but its eradication rate is only 70-80%. - Curcumin has many beneficial merits and it was also been demonstrated to be efficient in inhibition of H.pylori infection, in vitro.Therefore we aim to investigate whether addition of Curcumin to the standard triple therapy will increase the eradication rate of H.pylori infection. Methods - 150 consecutive patients that will undergo esophagogastroscopy in our Gastroenterology department and will be positive for H.pylori according to urease test and then by gastric biopsy, will be included. The patients will be randomized to two different treatments, according to binomial distribution. 75 patients will be treated with the standard triple therapy for 10 days and the other 75, will be treated for 10 days, with triple therapy combined with Curcumin that will be given three times a day. - During the treatment the patients will complete an adverse effect's questionnaires. 6 weeks after the completion of the treatment the patients will undergo urea breath test to confirm eradication. Patients will be asked to avoid antibiotics, bismuth compounds or proton-pump-inhibitor until the second urea-breath-test. - We will compare the eradication rate and the adverse effects between the two groups by using SPSS
