Filter by:This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 210 individuals aged over 18 years old, without a diagnosis of severe respiratory disease, who came to the study site with clinical and radiological suspicion of SARS-CoV2, will be randomized into two treatment groups at a 1:1 ratio to receive a 5-day CQ diphosphate tablets or placebo (tablet without active ingredient produced with the same physical characteristics).
India has the highest incidence of and mortality from multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) globally. Vitamin D status may be an important determinant of MDR-TB infection and treatment outcomes; however, observational evidence is insufficient to support its use as an adjunct therapy or prophylaxis. Using a case-control design, this study will evaluate the relationship between vitamin D status and active MDR-TB disease among adult outpatient pulmonary MDR-TB cases, household contact controls, and matched controls from the general population (non-household controls) in Mumbai, India. This study will also evaluate the cross-sectional association between vitamin D status and TB infection among household contact controls and non-household controls, and collect formative data in preparation for future randomized controlled trials of vitamin D in MDR-TB prevention and treatment in India.
This is a research study about how short-term exercise intervention affects adolescents with a disease called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Before deciding on treatment for patients with lung cancer, a critical step in the investigation is finding out whether the lymph nodes in the chest contain cancer cells. This is accomplished with a biopsy of the lymph nodes through the airway wall, known as Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration. Guidelines require that every single lymph node in the chest be biopsied through a process called Systematic Sampling. However, emerging data suggests that the lymph nodes that appear benign on imaging and ultrasound do not need a biopsy. A proposed alternative to the inefficient Systematic Sampling is the simplified Selective Targeted Sampling of the lymph nodes, whereby only lymph nodes that look malignant are biopsied. This trial will evaluate the simplified Selective Targeted Sampling of lymph nodes and compare it to Systematic Sampling to see whether it is equally as effective in staging lung cancer.
According to the results Ciloğlu et al., CSC is related to elevated total testosterone levels. Testosterone may play a role in predisposing males to CSC. Thus, we aimed to investigate the possible effect of external testosteron intake over choroidal parameters; such as choroidal thickness, choroidal vascularity index, choroidal stromal ve luminal areas,ect.
To evaluate the efficacy microneedling via a professional tattoo machine in revitalizing hair follicles in patients with fibrosing alopecia.
Postoperative neurocognitive impairments often occur in elderly patients undergoing anesthesia and non-cardiac surgery, including postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). These disorders are often associated with increased mortality and morbidity, prolonged length of hospital stay, functional and cognitive decline with nursing home or long-term care facility placement. Until now highly effective intervention has not been established yet. As a mitochondrial protective agent, the role of methylene blue(MB) in preventing elderly patients from POD/POCD is unknown.Therefore, investigators design this study to validate its prevention against POD/POCD and the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative administration of MB for POD/POCD prevention.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate to provide evidence to establish tightly defined cut-offs to identify patients for NASH clinical trial inclusion using cT1 and/or PDFF. The study will be divided into 2 sub groups comprising of cases and controls.
The purpose of this study is to provide evidence that a therapy of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) disease adjusted on tight monitoring of non-invasive parameters, such as clinical symptoms and faecal calprotectin (FC) (substance that is released when intestines are inflamed and that can be measured in faeces), can provide significantly higher benefit for the participants in terms of disease control and quality of life (QoL) improvement, compared to a symptom-based approach only.
The goal of the study is to combine a collaborative and translational approach to evaluate the effect antiretroviral regimen switch to a dolutegravir containing regimen compared to continued treatment with a non- dolutegravir based regimen on on lipid and metabolic profiles, renal function, body composition, vascular function and diet.
